Worst Boss

[Zendrag0n]

I want to know what you think is the worst boss and why. I'll start The cube boy in the labyrinth because he has points you have to break you while having to play dodge the block, on top of throwing attacks that will get you squished if you avoid or might kill you if your in a cube hole.

I'm not sure about the name, is it Legion? Spawned with Hearty too.

How to tell if someone scores low on pattern recognition and analytical thinking.

I found a method that works for me after a while but that doesn't mean I don't get tunnel vision for looking for the lights and I still hate it. I have to die and restart the boss for my method to work and even then I have issues. I run Handler/healer/Engineer so I don't have as much of a problem for other bosses since most don't 1 shot and are a gimmick.

Last boss definitely. I'm locking my last boss in story to lower level atm, and grinding power levels and weapon upgrades in adventure mode to make it more manageable. I have 0 intention to kill that boss after 1 kill ever again.

The cube is average in survivor, and one of the easiest in any difficulty from veteran onward.

The last boss and mother brain easily take the cake on this one. Venom can also be tricky but at least there's obstacles you can kite him around.

I don't even own the game, yet I was treated to a rage-filled tirade from one of my friends over the cubes in the labyrinth. And we spent about an hour on his discord stream trying to figure out the positioning, and how exactly the first cube swaps his safe spots.

This boss has no reason to exist.

Green shahalah because I haven’t learned it yet

Uhh you can finish it by just standingng in the first half of the room then run forward for one final shot. You can stand under cubes if you break one of its faces

Magic Meatball (Abomination). Absurdly high damage, the plates and bombs on it are tanky as hell, its melee combo is awful to learn to dodge, tosses explosives around seemingly randomly, you get all of 2 seconds of window on its weakpoint before its charging you or rolling back in a pipe. It's just annoying and takes a while to kill, I prefer seeing any other boss on n'erud for the required progression dungeon.

You realise you can stay safe under the broken sides of the cube? And the initial one always lands on the same spot?

Another tip, if you stand at the door at the end of that corridor no cube can hit you either.

You just have to shoot down projectives, and heal and move when you see the big cube aoe coming.

This boss is a utter nightmare for HC runs, but for normal gameplay it's nothing to die a couples times and go right in, it takes like 1 minute to finish the fight.

Legion boss and mini bosses are really absurd in the damage they can deal, but you can use terrain to your advantage and make them harmless. In that boss fight you just need to run around the pillars to avoid it rolling into you, or hit you with projectiles in the second phase.

Elemental damage is great against it, but if you use bullets you can break it's plates and reveal it's weakspot which take massive damage. Also if you shoot the explosives on the ground when it's rolling nearby it will send it flying for good damage.

The first cube swaps its sides each time it passes through the initial 2x2 area, resulting, eventually, in death on the tile that was safe previous times. Then there is a case of area denial pulse, which is pretty much random. The first room will kill you if you don't stay on the move. Always. Especially with wooden mobility and bad responsiveness of the game.

And regardless of how easy or hard it is to do - this encounter is unfun garbage. It's not a bossfight, it's a puzzle with randomized elements that forces you to reset on a single mistake. This is trash design.

venom..! ♥♥♥♥ that boss...

Legion and primigenitor.
Best were Sha'Hala and Annihilation.

If Sha'Hala is the best then I have little faith for the rest of the game. Spawning adds with absurd amounts of health is such a stupid gimmick. Let alone the suction sphere instantly popping up under you every time is so annoying. Couple that with the fact that if you have the dog companion it doesn't do what it's told 95% of the time and then fact that the animation for commanding the dog interrupts everything else you do was an idiotic choice.

I've ran through N'erud a couple times because the game won't re-roll anything else for me (not to mention that 0 of the seeker quest items spawned on my first run) but all other bosses and elites are pretty faceroll in comparison to the randomness that is Sha'Hala.

2nd phase last boss was the worst eye bleed I've ever had in a Soulslike game. EVERYTHING IS RED. Red attacks, red floor, red everything. It's so bad. I had to turn off the music just so I could listen to sound queues. First phase is fine but holy crap that was just awful.
