PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD FIX NURGEI'S BOSS FIGHT

[Balmung]

it's pure BS this boss

1) Isn't it Nurgel? I thought it was Nurgel.
2) Do you want my genuine advice for how I killed him, since once I figured him out it was like, way less BS than I originally thought.

You can evade all of them by hiding behind the metal tower scaffolding in his fight - don't try to jump it. When he starts floating up, pick a tower to start at, and circle the arena until you think he's gonna land - then hide behind a tower.

You can also use the armor special ability to avoid damage.

What weapon types are good against this guy? I feel like I'm just tickling him.

It's very strange because he is basically the first boss after the tutorial area that the game is sending you to, and dude's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tank. I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

Him and his entire area honestly feel like they should be tackled far later into the game. Katanas and the Ronin set are both good but fighting those enemies without good equipment can take a while because of how tanky they are.

I used Katanas against him and it worked well.

[laykra]

Yea even with MK3 Ronin set it is hard. I've decided to look for a different area/boss so I can unlock the dual-wield perk and use the katanas against him. So far I'm still using Konrad's sword and it's not doing so good against him.

Oh, wow, you guys are tackling him super early. That whole area should be done before you're ready to go to the Desert or in parallel if you want better equipment. He was still a huge pain with MK4 equipment and 4 perks.

I mean the game is sending you to him immediately (the Module marker visible when near a Terminal). I don't know how many areas I have yet to do before Uranopolis/Desert because there are no other markers or NPCs. I understand the "oh he is hard, I should go somewhere else" mechanic, but then "somewhere else" has just as strong normal enemies or red knights.

Alright I beat the asylum boss, picked the dual-wield perk and katanas melted through Nugei like butter. Did like 1/5th of his HP with one attack once when both hits crit. Seems to me that dual-wield has the highest DPS ceiling of any weapon.
