Owlbear top rope strategy still work post last patch?

[Markey]

Basically title, just looking for a concrete answer if this still works on Grym after the recent update?

[Rabbit]

I haven't tested it but I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't. It's one of those things the devs seem to like/find amusing and not an exploit they want to fix.

I just tried it tonight and it didn't work. I've seen all the videos and we've done it in a 4 man play through not too long ago. I tried it today in my own honour run, pretty damn confident I did everything right and he only took 121 damage.
Which raises another sore point to be honest. I had to flee from the fight because his first legendary action just fried my tav and Karlach in lava immediately.... so now ... you can't go back at all??? The forge is just eternally just down there with the guardian... inaccessible (you could featherfall I know but you'd be in an infinitely worse position to start the fight.)

Are people really having to cheese this fight? Its kind of a gimme tbh - since the hammer does the work for you.

Are you jumping directly on Grym? If so, that's why it only does some damage instead. You have to aim your jump , I guess, slightly behind him. Target just behind him, not on. I haven't done it since the hotfix but I did it on Honour Mode about a month ago after the last big patch we had.

Yea that Tunnel-Snake person definitely did something wrong

Just used it today for my honour mode run. A little janky but I had Lae’zel cast Jump on enlarged owlbear shadowheart and flung her from the top of the stairs by the mephit encounter. Aimed the jump so that she landed on the other side of Grym, not sure if it makes a difference but it was an easy 1030 bludgeoning damage

It's a feature of the attack. It's not some sort of bug or exploit. You don't just "jump" at your enemy, you have to use the ability.

It's gimpy, the mass modifications don't always stack properly. Once you get the mass to display 50005 kg it's time to fly.

Forgot to update this thread but I can say the top rope method does indeed still work, poor Grym

[Socasa]

Just in case people are still wondering. I just did it and did ~10k damage so yeah it still works. Have to be enlarged with elixir of colossus and use the owlbear special jump attack and then land behind not on the guy.
