Brutal mode It Hungers - is there a strategy?

[scott.bland]

I know with some of the past titans, there's an actual strat suggested like having parry and charge already hit before zoning in, etc. How about our title titan / dif?

I have the suggested P/T with Beast Mode off (3.6 No P / 2.6 No T). I have multiple GLOPS. Every fight I consume 3 glops, it won't let me use any more, and the titan defeats me before I get to the red bar.

So is there a certain pattern of strikes to use? Is the wiki wrong on the suggested P/T? Should I run the entire thing with Beast Mode on (tried that also, died just before red bar)?

Discord suggest stats:

It Hungers v4
Manual:
3.95e30 / 9e29
3.95 Non / 900 Oct
No glop: 5.5e30 power | 5.5 Non power
Autokill: 5 kills or see stats in game

This is with BM ON. You should have no problem taking it down with 1 glop.

Well, I do have a problem. I'm not making this up.

Use your move cooldown accessories. You should have three of them.

OK, off to go farm those all again.

Might be a stupid question but do you start the fight with all of the boosts already pre-cast and beast mode enabled to get a quick burst of damage at the very start of the fight before disabling beast mode and continuing the fight normally?

If you are not doing that, it allows you to deal a really high amount of damage right at the start and only suffer one attack with beast mode before going to a normal heal-damage mode.

Don't turn off beast mode that fast. Leave it on until mega buff wears off.
But It Hungers shouldn't last that long anyway.

Hypertext - are you not aware how your comments come off in plain text, or do you mean to sound so condescending?

Fel - I've tried all variants of fighting, the closest one to success being Beast Mode on with (I think) parry, charge and ultimate buff up going in. Just did a rebirth last night before bed, farmed up more glop and 2 of the 3 cooldown items, I figure I'll try again later today after all 3 are maxed out. Never had a use for them in other bosses, and with so few items contributing to move cooldown I didn't even think of them, so we'll see how the next fight goes.

As far as I understand it from having seen his messages in this forum for quite a while, he doesn't mean anything bad and instead answers questions pretty well and corrects when something from other people's answer is wrong, preventing bad informations to be spread as truth.
His messages are often a bit brisk but just look past that and you will see that he only means to help.

As for the fighting method, I don't know if mine was perfect but I didn't use parry.
I first went to the waiting area, cast charge and wait for it to come out of cooldown and make sure beast mode is ON and off cooldown.
When this is good, I change the area to the titan but alternate between it and the previous zone as I cast power buff, put the titan's zone as I can ultimate buff.
As soon as he shows up, ultimate attack, charge and piercing attack, followed by the other attacks while the buffs are still there.
If the titan is not down by that point, disable beast mode, use defend, defense buff and parry to mitigate damage, heal/regen and use the normal and strong attacks if you have time while waiting for the buffs to come off cooldown for another round of double buff + charge ultimate attack (followed by the other attacks with the buffs active of course).

Usually if you have the stats for a manual fights, the titan should go down pretty easily with that start and the following (looped if required).
It's valid for all titans, and especially nice in this difficulty since you only need to defeat each difficulty 5 times to get auto-kills on it, long before you reach the stats for auto-killing it.

Is it a sin to be straight forward? I don't see a point in sugar coating everything.
My comments are what they are. If you read them negatively, that's your fault, not mine.
