Valiant Gargoyles poison cloud spam bug?

[Ms O'Horné]

They keep friggin' spamming their poison breath... like... they just did one and they immediately do it again. No pause. And I am not talking about the other gargoyle. I'm talking about the same one doing it over and over. So all I do is run out of clouds...

I have 0 windows to attack. Am I doing something wrong, something to trigger that attack?? I am constantly moving out of poison clouds. Whenever I think I'll have a window, run in, and... the other starts his poison breath again... Like wtf...

I even put on the immunity charm which brings it to 377, but that doesn't help at all. standing even one sec in poison removes half my hp.

Im using the mimick which is pretty decent, but whenever the 2nd gargoyle comes out he is just gonna die almost instantly due to overlapping poison clouds which he keeps BOTH bosses in, which in turn does not allow me to have attack windows...

So is this a bug or triggered somehow? I tried being at all ranges, they just spam it at any range.

Not seen that in the fights ive done so far. yes they spew out poison but spamming it wow

[Ms O'Horné]

Yerr, I'm trying Co-op for the first time now since it is getting extremely annoying have such extremely long drawn out fights. I get a hit in maybe once every 5mins. But... MAN it is laggy in co-op. Makes it even harder. I'm just trying to stay alive and keep the other boss on the other side of the map, hoping the guy on the other boss will do fine. I think that is safest, no? Or is there some other co-op strategy?

[Ms O'Horné]

WTF is this game... This is just about pure luck, not skill. now I am at astel. Same thing there. SPAMS gravity explosions. Impossible to get a hit on her. Whenever I get near her... BOOOM. recover BOOOMMM.
Can't dodge them, I tried numerous times. Only way is to run out of range. But oh wait... Then she teleports right ontop of you and instantly grabs you with a oneshot ability at 40 Vigor...
And it is almost impossible to hit her as a melee... she is constantly too high up with her body.

Yeah, this design is really lame. When the enemy just goes "can't touch this" mode and you need to sit there and wait.

try use the putrid corpses ash
they can hold back the 2nd gargoyle long enough for you to kill the 1st one

I already beat the gargoyle after a long morning or frustration, sitting in poison spam. I'm on Astels explosion spam now. Whenever I get near her, insta explosion, gota run back out.

Maybe you can i-frame them, I don't know, I'm not there yet.

Nope, I tried spamming it. My biggest frustration is that she is too high up from the ground, I have to jump attack every friggin time to get a hit whenever I get that small window. Jump attacks are crazy annoying to do on keyboard and mouse.

Ah, I see... even need to jump attack. oof
I'm out of ideas then. There was a vague hint about gravity attacks pulling airborne foes near the ground... maybe that?
As for jump attacks being annoying on MKB... heh, I was right then. All the people who say otherwise should see this.

Yeh, like... even DS3 was annoying to learn with K&M, but DS3 was A LOT easier compared to ER. in DS3 it was hold space to sprint and space again to jump. Easypeasy. Here in ER I gota cramp my index finger all the way to friggin "F" and pinky to shift.

And people saying to "rebind it". Fudge them. You would need hours upon hours to rewire your brain. In my case 40 years of gaming where SPACEBAR means jump... Nah... gota be another key here! 90% of my deaths are due to keybind malfunctions.

Why did they have to change it in the first place?

Yeah, the default bindings are asinine. It's like the devs never played on a kb.
