New slime emperor boss is pretty boring

Fairly uninteractive fight where you kill the green slimes, keep the explosive ones, make the bullets not hit the ground and have him suck in the explosive ones, over and over. It's a really lame battle of attrition.

You only need 3 cycles, and if you have good dps you can skip a cycle easily.
Sure it's boring once you understand it, but the whole point of the fight is to understand fast enough.

It must be scaled up a bit in NG+, as it took a few more than 3 for me, and each slime was dealing 20k damage. Does your build really put out the kind of damage to do 20k damage in a short period of time?

[Recupel]

Yeah it's scaled up in NG+.
Which means you get even more time to do 20k damage and skip a cycle.

I foght that thing for liek 10 minutes, the HP pool is enormous. it never did anything, it just sat there, not attacking, not sending out slimes

not exactly a good design philosophy in a game that wants you to play through it over and over

yeah that's the one, but yours sounds bugged, which would be even more aggravating

Hahahaha. I just tanked the thing and smashed buttons. Took a couple of potions. The game mechanic makes way more sense now but feels out of place since the other bosses all were straight forward shoot-until-dead.
