Again... wtf is Eris?

[Mister Sir]

Hello fellow Americans, I ask for your support once again. This time emotional support cause I legit do not know wtf are you suppose to do vs eris during her last phase. Literally every boss in the game I can easy easily take or like Chronos not so easily and even lose half of the time but know it's a skill issue... With Eris however like wtf is this boss?

So 90% of the fight is not exactly flowers but not too unfair. Like yes, there a snipe move that has no tell on when it shoots but you can learn the timing and use pillars. There is fire all over the place but you can somewhat avoid it even when she decides to stand in it half the fight. There are 100 year long bombardment segments but you can kite those.

Then comes last 10% of the fight which is just Eris unleashing full barrage of bullets and then with no recovery frames she just takes off, fully invincible and then lands somewhere else to repeat it. As far as I am aware there is no tell where she lands, unless I am missing one? So you are at RNG mercy and can't really wait for her to land somewhere reliably, There next to nothing you can do with most weapons as far as I can tell to close this distance withing eating half hp bar of bullets. There is no punishing it as she just goes full invincible and takes off. So like again, wtf are you suppose to do here? Every time I beat her feels like pure rng bs, like I just did not die at al the entire runl till her last 10% hp and so there I go spending 3 dds and luckier tooth just to take her out.

Again.... wtf is this boss and wtf are you suppose to do there?

Yeah, people rarely read more than the title and maybe the first few lines.
Hope it helps, you don't even need to max the card to make it work.

There's also another trick I found if you really hate those last 10% : Demeter's legendary.
It will kill Eris through her shield and completely remove this last phase.
Tricky to get it but it works.

I know you've picked your answer already (and hope that works for you), but I'll share my personal take anyway.

Yes, her last 10% she goes completely nuts and it's very hard indeed to hit her.

So my "tactic" is just ugly, dirty and straight to the point: I f***ng face tank her LOL

I mean, I can easily get her to her last phase without being hit. Assuming that I have at least a couple of death defiances... I just keep sprinting until I see where she lands and WHAM! with quick basic attacks.

Not pretty but somewhat satisfying to hit her directly 😁😂

I feel like most people did not read what I said, like clearly I know how to stay on her back and use pillars or I would not make it to last phase of a fight. I thought about using omega slow to see where she lands yesterday after I beat her via hex ZAWARUDO time stop but did not try it yet, good to see that this indeed seems to be the solution.

3. When she gets to the final stage and starts teleporting around firing rapid fire shots, simply keep you distance from her till she is done freaking out... She only does the teleport rapid fire attack like 3-5 times...

Directly speaks to the final phase.

Eris is honestly an easy fight when you understand that all you need to do is get her next to a pillar and then run in circles around the pillar, always keep her opposite, and hit her between her attacks. Never leave the safety of the pillar unless you have to dodge bombs, then go immediately back to the pillar. The most important thing is to make sure that when she targets you with her powershot that destroys pillars, do NOT let it hit the pillar. Just time your dodge or even get hit by it, losing both pillars makes the fight very difficult.

Everyone saying use the pillars isn't wrong. You don't need the slowdown for it either. I don't like giving build specific advice to clear a boss because some people might prefer aspects that don't utilize omega moves often.

This is how I usually handle the last phase for a visual representation.

Best of luck and this boss will be easier and easier once you get used to her moves as it usually goes

it's so hard, she does so much damage, and i do so little... if she is going to do that damage at least she could have a smaller life

I have beat her about half the times I faced her already and I am aware of pillars. I can generally get through surface and most of Eris fight without losing a single life. Like I said, it's last 10% that are a problem for me cause all she does is shooting and then invincibility frame flies off, over and over and over. Pillars aint gonna do ♥♥♥♥ there unless all you wanna do is hide. The only sound advises I really saw is that she don't do that forever so wait it out, or use omega slow down to see where she lands to get there fast and dps check her.

You can see how the pillars are used in the last 10% of her HP, since that's where you're struggling. I think that's where a lot of people struggle since they run out while she's firing and tank the bullets since they don't know you can just dash from out of the pillar after she's done firing and hit her. You can see it in the video lol. It works for every weapon and without slowdown.

You can keep complaining the pillars don't do anything for you at the end or you can try using them like in the video and succeed without getting hit. Up to you. What if they release another trial like Haste where you can't use the slowdown effect? Gonna skip it? It's always better to find a universal method of dealing with a boss than something build specific, unless you are always going to be using omega slowdowns.

It's just so much more easier to stay behind her than to even try dodge her attacks in any manner, I'd suggest trying it out

This has only worked for me with guaranteed success with her slower firing moves. I've had mixed success in the last 10% doing this if you don't dodge very close to exactly when she starts firing. Using the pillars is just safer, but if you can do it hitless that way then more power to you. Staying on her back was how I used to rush the boss down in the last 10%, but I usually get hit. Pillars in the last 10% is how I do it without taking damage.

As a general solution: she's a ranged fighter, so keep in melee range to her. Run tight circles around or dash through her, she can't turn fast enough to track you. If she lands nearly, run to her and do your stuff; if she lands far, stay away from the shots until you can get closer. To block the sniper shot you may try to hide behind Lord uncle Freenose the toad back.

Hephaestus baboons may be useful: run close, do explosive damage, reposition, repeat. Or dump Selene's nuclear bomb on Eris head.

(Sorry for being non-american)

This is actually how I ended up beating her finally, I just had to stay on her every time she tries to get away and dodge through her to avoid a lot of her attacks.

You can use Hestia run to nullify the Adamant Rail shots, except the grenades. A little bit of karma.
