How tf do you beat Ozzy?!

[Lord of Stench]

Hes like 3 times as powerful as the Nightmare Generals and even they were extremely difficult without mass healers and foot nights. And he summons meteors.. Impossible.

[CRAZY Cactus]

wall him in, prepare catapults and troops, bait him to the wall and blow him up

[Koto!]

Send one foot knight at a time. Don't send them all together. That way he will kill them one by one while your range units do all the work. Get some balistas if you can afford it.

You can also spam dark knights too. 30 per spawn just so he doesn't attack your range attackers.

On the 3rd difficulty, I (accidentally) aggroed him during a long break between waves, so I was able to scoop up all the crossbowmen and war machines from walls (approximately about 200ish crossbows, 20ish ballistos and 20ish trebuchets). Mana stockpile and summon upgrades also help. So does clearing spawners so you can kill in peace.

He also needs some melee crap to kill because of the cocoon of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, I recommend knights or horsemen. I don't think fortifications are any good, cause the cocoon of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is just gonna break everything.

For most of the fight I was summoning dark knights to occupy Osbourne while the crossbows and war machines were tickling him, but he does keep summoning some wankers, so you can't just facetank with 1 poor sod at a time.

Eventually he does the cocoon of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ where he life drains everything in some range (longer than crossbow range I think) and mashes buildings and goes immune to ranged damage. He can heal a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and used it every time he dropped to very low health, so I think you need to a bunch of melee damage to ever finish him off.

I used 40ish knights (maybe horsemen would be even better value) to quickly run, survive the explosion when he pops out and run away before they get 1-shot by his splash base attack.

[dracogeno]

Oneshot AOE are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in any game.

I´m out of luck because I used up all my mana destroying his fortifications (which are also ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥).

The economy runs by itself I have and endless supply of soldiers buy I'm being kept back by the (♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥) amount of micro needed to defeat him.

[Flin]

I built 10 massive towers and had a dozen trebuchets behind that, was overkill and the fight was super easy.

[dracogeno]

Well...

That was anticlimactic.

I let him rampage about my city while I astralray'd him to cinders. 100 magic points or so and some steady mouse work. Felt a little like an exploit but it was him the one cheating with his AOEs, meteors and life-leeching cocoons

[SkywardSoul117]

I made him chase some horsemen around in front of my walls while my ballistae and crossbowmen peppered him. I feel a little bad about cheesing it so much.

[LanceShields]

just had like 100 xbows and about 60 ballistas. He got to egg once but then i bursted him down from 20k before he could do it again. Just used a mix of spearmen and dark knights to keep him busy. sending 1-3 at a time... didn't try to micro that hard.

[Draktok]

honestly these super high hp 'bosses' are the least engaging part of the game for me, they aren't f un to fight enemies with 1 million hp, everyone just cheeses it in different ways cause it isn't fun lol

[RonEmpire]

yea Ozzy is hard

[Velmidos]

you're totally right draktok ahahah

but it is fun to entangle and drop the big guy, no? :D

[hipsu]

Ozzy was hard, but the one mission after it with building the temple is just insane. Middle of the map, no resources, constant attacks from all sides. Tried it a few times, lost interest and uninstalled the game lol

Maybe I come back one day and try again, but right now it just seems so unbalanced.
Game also needs Quality of life updates

Since Early Access there is endless scenario called "under pressure", and in fixed based difficulty it is way much harder than temple even on insane difficulty, belive me :)

Agressive recon with fast units is your friend, braking enemy spawn houses before timer is activated is also your friend
Early fast units is your friend, speed and fast relocation is your friend

But if you capable of fighting 4 or even more squads at the same time in different map locations, it will not also be your friend, it will be gamechanger

If you see enemy squad coming not via wave timer, just send your squad in the footsteps
and you will find where the creatures are coming from

It was actually a fun mission for me. However it is true, that you have to push yourself the entire time, because you are on a timer, before stronger buildings activate.

It's a nice alternative to base vs base build.

I really do not understand why people keep selecting higher difficulty, and then complain, that they cannot beat it.
The game is beatable, and the highest difficulties are not for everyone
