Decaying Ekzykes is bull?

[Tyler McRae]

So, how are you supposed to avoid that one attack where it spews Scarlet Rot across the entire dang continent? I've been trying to fight him, and while most every attack he does is avoidable, that one is literally unavoidable, as it coats the entire arena and then some with the rot breath. Am I missing a safe point, or..?

Horse?

I dont remember this boss, do you have the recipe for the cure items for scarlot rot?

[Ars Nova]

Obviously not "bull" considering how many people have beaten him. Git gud.
Try different strategies instead of bemoaning it on internet forums.

Horse isn't available. A friend and I are co-opping this game. He really wants to get this guy's spell, and that one attack just seems to kill us no matter what we do.

As with any dragon fights. Horse it out of there

Sadly, no. And that wouldn't help, since we tend to die before the attack fades, rot or otherwise.

Without riding the horse?... hmm... hmm... sounds like quite the pickle. I'll have to use my head and think... hmm...

there are some elevated mushroom mounds on the battlefield, try hiding behind those whenever he spews rotbreath

As someone who beat him twice co-op without a horse, learn his moveset, and as soon as he starts prepping the attack (he telegraphs it heavily) just straight sprint away as far as possible from him and let him come to you afterwards.

that attack is complete garbage. even having the horse doesn't help much since the AOE is so huge you'll take enough damage that the horse wont last more than one or two gas clouds. I have no idea if there's actually supposed to be some way to deal with it.

there's no hiding. it's not so much a breath as making a giant cloud that does heavy DOT and inflicts Rot,

You can run up to the Dragon Cathedral door and he resets, but his HP does not, then you can range him on the cliff, when he flys up or does his AOE just run back to the door of the Cathedral again, rinse and repeat.

Yeah, I'm not obligated to tell bad players how to win boss fights. Stop being lazy and actually try different strategies with the boss. I don't know how you people are so averse to this, and are so helpless you need to go beg online for cheese strats to win boss fights.

Why even comment then? Live and let live.
