how do you not get bodied by boomerang bosses?

the hitbox seems insane, I roll away and I'm still getting hit by the same throw after my iframes are up, so I roll again and by that time another shot comes off

The only way I've found to beat these bosses is pull them into water where there is a 3 high embankment. Climb to the top and they get stuck in the water. Yes its a crap way of doing it but at this point who cares, the whole game is a crap way of doing it.

If you think boomerang bosses are fun, then you're going to absolutely love magic bosses with their aim botting laser beam pew pews. Even a Mage's teleport can't evade those.


Anyways, I usually just one shot them or close enough that they don't get much of a chance to fight back and if I can't, to avoid them until I can. Otherwise fight in an area where I can circle around an area and they can never gain line of sight to actually attack.

Depends on class but i learned that i could straight up block through the attack with a shield as a warrior. But yeah even if you dodge you are going to take a hit every time. Your best bet solo is to either out dps or stun as often as you can so he cant build up a combo on you.

Hope I am not necroing this thread.

Anyway, I am having the same issue right now. I am up against this giant possessed goblin ranger boss with a boomerang right now, it is gold-tier (legendary) and it is in a room with pillars but the pillars are close to the wall and I've found I get stuck between them and the wall a lot. My character is also a ranger but he has a bow which should be able to hit farther.

My only real way to cheese this fight seems to be to lead the boss to a previous room in the dungeon with pillar platforms you jump across and have it fall in the pit, then as it tries to climb up the wall I hit is. But there has to be a better way... I've got Legendary gear and a Legendary weapon and the boomerang still totals me in three or four hits.

The two main problems I've found that need some serious rebalancing would be 1) the aimbot targeting I see many other people mentioning, and 2) the hit DPS. I could be wrong but each hit per strike seems to be equivalent to a single melee weapon hit and boomerang DPS depends on how long the boomerang can stay on a target. That means - if you've got a boomerang with, say, 5 DPS - that is a single hit from a melee weapon x5. That should only be a fraction of a single hit, not multiple hits.

A good vanilla solution would be to take a buff potion but from what I see on the wiki there are only two potions in this version of Cube World. I am using the health potions and I don't have access to any prickly pear potions. Are there any mods out now or in the works that will fix either the aimbot or DPS issues? Or maybe both?

My way of dealing with boomerang bosses when I am using a bow is keeping maximum range for HIS attacks, so that I have time to dodge the attack (forward or backwards) when it comes, while constantly shooting at him. This way I do not need to meddle with dodging in any other directions and missing my shot and messing my combo. Also helps if I am of the Scout class for the chance of instant right-click attack.

Boomerang enemies are really easy compared to aimbot beam attacks tbh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
