weapon is so weak...

[Andy]

after seeing monsters that are level 17+, i think my level 8 legendary sword is kinda like trash... is there a way to actually enhance the weapon damage?
and i soloed the fell wispwyvern and it took me 10 mins to scratch it to death...
if at the end game, will the blacksmith npc have ability to unlock/increase weapon's level?

I clean all accessible map. Finished all quests. Best weapon and armor with upgrades. Can't kill him. Hate arenas and locked progress behind bosses.

There is a guaranteed weapon 'spawn' you can reach seeing as your targeting level 17s you should be able to get to it fairly easily.

Location Just north of the catacombs is a village in the shroud called Lone Thistle My player indicator as at the town and position for graves. Look for a large dead tree up against the mountain at the base of it is a pair of graves. Dig up the grave on the left should have an orange glow. Loot the skeleton.

How? I've been trying for an hour now, and I just get absolutely destroyed within seconds every time I land in the courtyard. Each attack hits for more than half my health, and they're just continuous. I haven't got its health down by more than 2 or 3%.

I'll be honest - my reactions are not great, and I have never been any good at jumping/rolling/evasion type fights. But this just seems impossible. How did you do it? What level were you? What gear were you using?

I feel like this isn't even remotely a possibility for me, and it's a bit of a game blocker.

You can level somewhat efficiently if you just mine clay. I have gotten two levels just trying to make bricks and other bits while farming for a myself and a friends playthrough. When you mine out the 'vein' reload the world by going back to menu and loading it up again and mine some more. This also respawns Elixir well bosses and chests you have opened before.

I finally managed this by reverting to type and going full tank. Basically I tanked up everything I could and took a bow too.

Then just spent the entire fight evading his attacks until the point when he started to summon his pets, when I would shoot his mouth and stun him. Then dashed in and wellied him with the sword until he woke up. My tank allowed me to ignore the pets while I hit him, and I could take one hit from him after he woke up each time. When that happens, I'd run away, drink a health potion, and the evasion would begin again until the next chance to hit his mouth.

I've finished the game now, and that was *easily* the hardest boss fight in the game. Nothing else came close, up to and including the level 30 bosses.

the wyvern is easy. you dont need good reaction time for it. you are probaly trying to run in and hit it. dont do that. dont stay close to it. its spin attack is very hard to read and avoid if youre right next to it.

circle the boss. when it does the laser attack sprint towards one of the claws hit it 2-3 times and back off.

when it roars to summon the minions THAT is the major attack window. rush in and wail at it until the animation is over. then back off and kill the minions.

it takes awhile to bring its healthbar down as a melee since game is balanced around mage beeing OP for some odd reason.

I did the whole fight standing between its back legs smacking it in the foot with my axe. The only attack that would hit me was the belly flop. That would take out 75% of my health and stun me, but it would never land a follow up hit before I got a chance to roll back between its legs.

[Fryskar]

Went there and easily got my ass handed twice even as i easily could dominate the rest in his area.
Came back way later with a legendary axe found in the southern parts of the pillars (you can reach it just fine, you got a pickaxe for a reason).
Treat it like valheim, buff food isn't optional, use it and no, you shouldn't use the cheap one for bosses. Same with pots and the flame prayer scrolls (if you do magic dmg).

The third time i went there (think lvl 17-19) i gorged the best food, multiple pots and the scroll ontop and it went down easy, as tank/warrior or offtank with adventurers armor.

Almost forgot, you can use bombs to open the walls should you want to escape.

I'm level 18 with level 18 weapons. I've explored pretty much the entire map I can get to without the beast head to upgrade the flame again, and I've completed all the quests. I'm not sure I can squeeze many more levels out of the game while the beast blocks further progress.

Bottom line is I can't dodge attacks. I don't have the reactions. I can do one or two, but when it's a constant onslaught, I get overwhelmed. I usually get round it using terrain - hiding behind rocks, kiting etc. But there's no way of doing any of that for this fight. Basically trapped in a small room with attacks from adds, vertical, horizontal, and a boss which can jump edge-to-edge. All happening very quickly.

For me, this is impossible. I need a cheat, basically.

=======================================

I'm going to assume that you're using a shield, right?
Shields in this game are very helpful in keeping you alive.

But yes the blacksmith can upgrade your weapons on the second tab at the top of his crafting page

East desert is going to be awful for them if they've only just killed the pikemead boss by tickling it to death with a low level sword (probably the wailing blade). All those legendary chest farm videos doing the rounds assume someone has high level gear to cope with the 25-30 level mobs.

Slightly more on topic. If you don't mind changing spec and playing ranged for a bit then just west of pikemead is a battlefield below and large bridge & boss that should drop a legendary bow which will help you hunt slightly better.

Another option is to head south from pikemead and into the pillars of creation with a boss that always seems to drop the same axe.

i tried many time... here is my gameplay for evidence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbWVRjtF6Og
this dragon is the most difficult boss in the whole game because 95% of players don't have good gear/equipment/skill point in the early game...

[Mr. Fibble]

If you don't mind a detour

There's a spell called acid spit that starts dropping from chests in the nomad highlands zone to the east of that boss. It coats the ground with poison so casting that under a boss thats stopped to wind up an attack will do a lot of damage. Charge up time is longer than fireballs or ice blasts but on a stationary target its stupidly good.

WeMod has cheats for enshrouded. Unlimited health/stamina/mana/durability/number of items, etc. I use it for the stupid jumping puzzles. My reactions are beyond crap.

try using a 1-hander and a SHIELD? and FOOD BUFFs? those helps greatly. and you don't always have to just stand there, run off and bandage/drink pots. this is common sense for any hunting game.

I've tried respeccing as a total ranger, as a total wizard and as a warrior. I get utterly smashed every single time. This has literally been my entire day. I watched a youtube video of a guy doing this as an archer, and it was bizarre. The monster didn't seem to attack him anywhere near as frequently as I get attacked. The attacks on me are constant - it's *always* either breathing or jumping or bombarding. There's no break at all.

I seem to breeze through the game, got lvl 20 weapons and no fight is a challenge. but that wyvern basically insta-kills me and when I shoot it, it almost does no damage.

the fight is pure cancer: there's no mechanics, no clean fight

just AoE spam by the boss, adds summoned to ♥♥♥♥ anyone who wants a clean fight and the health pool of that thing is just obnoxious.
this is a fun killer.
because if you actually overgear and overtune your build away from fun to just damage, you'll have even less fun later against normal mobs

it's the stupidest boss fight I've experienced in years in a game

just give the game a bad rating and they may reconsider how to design fights

[Beorn]

My experience with the Wyvern (not even on farm-status anymore tbh):
put on a good shield,
use a fast one handed melee weapen (sword or axe),
get some healing potions that really fills you up (900hp with 200 heal per bottle is wasted).

Walk up to the dragon, hit him repeatedly - that would move you from in front of him on your way under him towards his back legs, turn around and reverse that steps.

When he takes the long deep breath, ensure to stay close to him because that is the moment soon bugs will appear, which will mess up everything but just get disposed when chopping on the wyvern.

After he took his breath he will blast an icy breath that you simply dodge out of.

When he sends icy fragments into the air they are going to come down again in areas marked with a circle, which you are supposed to avoid too.

When he jumps into to air, dodge away from him.

Always head back to the wyvern, slap him into his face and other parts. Took me about 10 minutes to kill him once.

When you are not alone, have someone with you that is capable of handling a bow, when he takes his deep breath in, a hit into his open mouth stuns him and avoids the following blast (sure - having a stick in the throat makes it a bit difficult, i think ;) )

Just my two cents.

Each biome has set enemy difficulty ranges. If the enemies over powered then you are not ready for that area. Go back to where the enemies are in your range and discover all the locations, spires, side/main missions, clear shroud roots, etc. and once you level up, then progress to the other spots. I cleared everything in each area as I went and found the progression spot on. There is some pretty amazing armor you can craft as well that helps. I crafted the soldier set from the blacksmith (pain in the ass to get the materials) and between the armor stats and/health regen you are pretty solid anywhere in the game. Also, if you explore you are bound to get lucky and find a good weapon, I found the world drops were better than anything I had the ability to craft.

This boss has a large weak spot !
Dodge his attacks until he stands still and seems to inhale energy.
He will have its mouth wide open, shoot an arrow in there !

He will drop to the floor and be stunned for about 10 seconds.....
During this time he is vulnerable to your attacks and can not defend himself.
I like to run towards him during the stun, use my two handed mace to deal massive damage and kill the beetles in one go.
Run back out after 8 seconds and avoid his attacks, until he breaths in again.
Repeat and victory will be swift.
