The alternative end boss makes me want to refund

[Junayah]

Since I mainly play in multiplayer and two friends unlocked it, we exclusively get to fight the serpents .
Two (including me) haven't even finished the first end boss, since the other two played a few days on their own.

I fought the boat once and had the impression that it's very beatable.

The other boss just gets very annoyed sounds from everyone on discord as soon as the loading screen pops up.

Sounds Like bad RNG. I have fought the original boss more times than the new boss since the update. I actually like the new boss for its mechanics, but it is a lot easier than the original.

[MoogleMcGee]

I have yet to fight the new boss, I hate RNG

[Valithin Drathyr]

Honestly I find the serpent to be be a better boss. The boat is just boring to fight

I have the opposite problem, I have a ton of trouble with the boat im just not fast enough to get out of the way of the circles. Feels like fight is biased heavily to the fast characters and speed boosting abilities

The boat is only "boring" because after fighting it so many times you learn how deal with all of it's attacks.

The snake is easier than the boat, imo. Its attacks are easier to see and while they can be hard to dodge sometimes they're not that bad.

for me, the true final boss is windgod, ugh. jerk takes my revive way too often.

The serpant boss is one of the easiest dps check bosses.

If you are dog with double wild hunt last boss, you are either going to one shot, or go through 3 painful phases depending on which one you get.

You need to coordinate your scrolls with your team or drop any negative movement speed for the boat as a slower character as the third phase will be too difficult to stay alive (especially if youre the main source of dps).

Wing god is a dps check, if youre lacking dps and movement speed, best to drop negative movement scrolls or switch to foundry as he stuggles against fast moving characters.

So what I get from all these messages is that I'm just veeery unlucky... story of my life lol
Guess I have to play alone or with my about same lvl friend for a few runs

Btw we beat wind god in those runs where we just got wiped by serpent, we never got the normal desert boss too. Weird huh...

the dragon is a pain in the desert area

I'll take the serpent over ship any run. You can nuke it much faster, the "mobs" it spawns are much easier to dodge than ship's, and once you get the attack pattern down for serpent you're practically in god mode. Just run a good spray gun like demonlore or firescale with a sniper secondary, stack crit scrolls, then get the crit gemini for both (gemini's might be hard to get until level 90+). You can usually get a gemini for both weapons by checking every red chest during the run for "Upgrade inscriptions" I usually always find more than 1 for each weapon. Though you'll have to hope for rng for lower levels. Then all you gotta do is learn the attacks, dodge them, then spray into the glowing gills for 50k per smg bullet. easy w.

That is exactly what classifies a bad end boss imo. Just another bullet sponge you can nuke with having the right build/meta.
Where is the fun in that...
