DPS check final boss on higher reincarnations

[Septic Feast]

anyone have any luck with this fella's final phase on the higher difficulty levels?
my buddy and I had some snazzy +20 weapons and great scrolls, but couldnt event dent that final shield in 15 seconds.
anybody have any stories of success when the bosses health pool is in the billions?

We absolutely deleted him on R7. He died within 1 second, and this was in a 4 player match with 1 player dead.

Electric weapons do really well in this stage especially. Playing with 4 people makes it a lot easier. If you have a turtle you should just let them upgrade the weapons for the other guys as turtle doesn't need any weapons himself (which is a big boon in multiplayer, as this can double the amount of upgrades for the remaining players).

I was doing 1-2 mil per shot and we still lost (2 players, on R7). How the hell could you beat him "within 1 second" with 4 players (over 2x as much HP)!?!

There really isn't much to say, it's just about your build overall.

I personally (playing in nightmare) got through that phase in about 2 seconds just spamming the new hero's melee attack.

Edit: just cleared a duo run with a random teammate in R5 and it was as usual, boss died in 2 seconds.

I have not the faintest idea. I myself wasn't dealing that much damage during this phase, being turtle.

We had a bird who had a +51 Wild hunt and another turtle with a +48 Pupil. No advanced depot either. The boss literally died before I could hit it a second time. Even though they were randoms we did a lot of scroll sharing, and I double upgraded for the other guys at each craftsman (as turtle doesn't need any weapons imo - I was top damage for the entire run with a +3 sword). Electric damage obviously helps too.

Apparently penetrating shot completely bypasses it.

Only did one run on reincarnation 7 with friends and it died before we had time to read the message on screen. It's possible that we had something very broken, I had around 300M damage dealt at the end.

No penetration bullet do not work on dps challenge ( had it last time also had absurd damage build (near 5mils dmg per second), r7 and still cant kill him)

I have seen this boss die in the second phase within 2 seconds on R8. As of now if you are having problems with dps then just use the icy spear since its turns the game into easy mode. If you want to use teamwork then follow Incredibly average's example of having one player focus on lightning dmg.

You are gonna fail the first few attempts, but you'll get the hang of it much like you did to the previous bosses/events.

Idk there are some hidden things to kill it. Cause I almost always by far best damage dealer in team. But it always not me killing him.Maybe he take extra lightning damage not just + 50%.

It's not just 50% difference if you are using fire or corrosive damage. These two elements deal 75% dmg to shield where as lightning deals 150% dmg to shield.

Alright I haven't played much in awhile but how do you upgrade guns THAT high?? I think the highest I've gotten one was in the 20s.

New Scrolls, revamped Peculiar Chest, and a new area all allow for weapons to be upgraded a lot further than the previous "limit". I've seen anywhere from 50-70 being common on R8 at the final area. Most people are also taking +3/+4 weapons and taking those straight to the end of the game which allows for more chances to upgrade.

To people who beat him on R7/R8 "in seconds": were you playing with randoms? Because either there is some extremely broken build that does literally 1 billion DPS to the final boss, or you were all playing with hackers.

(Penetrating Bullet would only break the second phase, where he has a ton of shield and 1 HP. It wouldn't affect the first phase)

R7 3 man premade 1st try. Boss died in 1 second or less. No one was building specifically for lightning since we weren't going elemental. At that point in the game, everyone could kill elite monsters in half a second or less.

Out of all the builds I've tried, here's the one that I believe is most broken: bunny + fatal bloom + weaponskill ascensions + wild hunt/ big hippo

No one has the demonlore since none of my friends including me bothered to unlock it, but I heard that gun is OP.
