Boss Shaved Head disabled

[Mafuba]

Hello everyone,

I have got a issue with the Boss "Shaved Head".

(sorry in advance for my poor english)

I fighted him one time, I loosed and so I reloaded my previouly save. I wanted to refighted him but in place a cinematic with glayne is activated and after, we see the head of boss but he does't activate. I tried to reloaded my save, exit of area, reinstal the game, nothing...

Someone have this bug? Someone have a solution?

Thanks in advance

Same problem here

Same issue here. It says in 1.06 patch notes that it fixed a bug around the shaved head. But didn´t seem to fix this bug.
Very annoying... 40h playtime wasted?

I just got to that boss, and it kicked my butt considering how it just naturally gets to attack twice and loves using it's multi hit attack so much my healing can't keep up enough to deal any damage. I can't even stay out of the red on the stupid overheat gauge! Honestly, the game would have felt so much better without that guage. Love the science fantasy themes, but hate how half the mechanics work against the player.

Is this ever going to be fixed? It's sad how close this game is to being 10/10 but truly awful balancing issues and bugs make it a 3/10 at best

I was able to get past the bald head after reloading my save the other day, the game was more playable by going into options, making the overdrive section wider and lowering the enemy stats setting. Lowering that made enemies feel like they are actually balanced, compared to being bullet sponges on default stat settings.

I don't think this thread is about the boss being hard to beat. There is a bug where you simply can not fight him anymore at all. The boss event doesn't trigger when you walk up to him.
This bug still is not fixed. Really annoying that this game is so buggy...

My comment about the stats was in reference to tacticalzuke's comment about the bad balancing. I also noted how I was able to beat the boss AFTER loading a save after having fought him once, which was referenced as how the bug started for the OP, they fought him once, presumably lost and had to reload, then couldn't fight again. I had similar, fought once, lost, but after returning to the game at a later date and loading my save, and lowering the enemy stats, I was able to fight the boss again just fine, either the bug didn't trigger, or changing the enemy stats might affect the bug.

Same issue. But I had a manual save before the boss fight so I could continue. Anyway, even with the bug you can still resume the game, you don't miss any dialogues, you only miss one skill point which isn't that bad.

you mean to say that boss was OPTIONAL?! an obvious enemy in the middle of the path to progression... and it was OPTIONAL?! Whose idea was it to put it in such an obvious spot? It made it seem manditory!

I also had a manual save before the boss but the bug is there as well. Guess I could just skip it, but that would mean I can't complete the bestiary I suppose? Would be a bummer.

Just ran into the same bug, hope it gets fixed soon :(

[KKCam]

They just released a new patch on PS5. It didn't fix this bug however so I kinda lose hope for this game

[Aters]

This is one of the most ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bugs I've ever encountered.

Unfortunate but always remember to keep several save slots in games like this.
