Mantagora is dumb beyond belief

who the bloody hell thought THIS turd was a "fun" encounter?

Im now 46 minutes of trying to kill the most boring, tedious, unengaging, bullet sponge "boss" in PC gaming history... frankly you clowns should send every person that actually KILLS this stupid thing a box of girl scout cookies or something.

WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?!?! SERIOUSLY WTH!?

*edit* and no, I wont go into details due to spoilers, but if you've "fought" him at all.. I KNOW you're thinking the same thing. This is just the WORST game design Ive ever seen. Ever.

I simply shot at him with my rifle whenever he got close, and continued to progress the stage when he wasn't. by the time I completed the stage I only had to spend maybe 3 minutes finishing him off, aa he appeared a lot around the end point.

For an optional boss, I think this is fine. many players won't even think to shoot it as its not an apparent boss.

I sat on spawn and kept plinking at him with an engineer turret and corrosive rounds on a long range rifle.

Not an issue for OP to "get good" more so to just understand the games range system and adapt to the boss. if he's spent 46 minutes trying to kill him then he has to be using a short ranged weapon dealing ~90% reduced damage.

He melts when you shoot him, The infuriating part is killing all the other guys too. He really doesnt do much unless your super close to him, so just keep moving through the level and shot him from afar, or get close after you beat those squid archer ghost guys.

It melted fast with fire mod on the rifle.

I like the "get good" comments from people playing solo on normal where the game is literally too easy. On 3-man Nightmare, this boss is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ trash.

The boss you kill once and ignore after. Just hope that it doesn't spawn with Regeneration & Hearty/Thick Skin haha

First encounter, spent like half an hour going back and forth. Get it down to a sliver of health, and I fall off a vine :D.

Nice...I could go for a box of girl scout cookies right about now.

Mine spawned with regen

No thanks

This boss took MAYBE 10 minutes, and they basically are zero threat. Quite an easy "encounter", idk. just use anything that has super high projectile speed (or are hitscan, honestly not sure which) like the starting Hunter rifle, and throw on a burning or acid mod. Ez work

mantagora being the big butterfly thing (I can't remember the names of stuff, but I'm guessing that's it)

your best bet is to get to the clearing in the center of the map and blast it.

i think its AI bugs out and it flies much much farther out than intended, like i mean FAR out. I don't think its supposed to do that. I found the best way to make sure he doesnt break is to aggro him near the start of the gardens, on the elevated edge area (where a big root bridge extends to a forested area to the right), you get a bit more room here, and his ai seems to consistently make swoops to get close so you dont have as much damage falloff.
