The Nightweaver: Broken and really, really annoying rather than fun.
My main complaint about this boss is how it is broken. I don't know entirely if it is her that is broken, or if it is also the arena, but I am having the following issues:
- When she does her attack where she swipes while diving forward really fast, her movement is broken and it makes it hard to time dodges.
- During COOP, she mainly targets one person (seriously, I got attacked maybe 6-8 times per first phase, while my teammate was getting targeted by everything else, include nearly every time she did her lunging swipe attack. (she targeted me with it like 1/30 of the time)
- Her spiders movement/path is broken just like hers.
- Teammate would sometime not be able to see her ranged attack properly.
Had some other odd problems pop up during that fight that we hadn't before, examples include:
- Dog companion standing still and doing nothing (even after being commanded.)
- Dog companion not reviving anyone (even if able.)
- Dog companion nearly NEVER being targeted.
- Sometimes we would be hit by attacks even after 100% dodging them.

I would also like to talk about how annoying the boss is in general. No boss has been this insane throughout the rest of the game (so far!) Basically to sum up all the annoying parts of the boss:
- Every attack almost deals half hp,. usually over a quarter, but not always.
- A fast pace, and sometimes shortish first phase transitions into a less fast pace second phase, where she has more health.
- Second phase has a 1 shot move which is easy to get hit by (literally standing next to a wall) but can also be easy to dodge.

I seriously cannot imagine trying to fight this boss solo, especially if you aren't playing the companion class. For me, it's the high damage it has that makes me mad. Combo that with it almost always targeting my teammate, and then it being impossible to revive my teammate due to the fast attacks it has, it is just not a fun boss AT ALL. We spent 2 and a half hours trying to fight it, only to get halfway through her second phase.

Pain.

This game is far harder than the first one. And harder than most other souls games (for comparison) at least in the beginning.

This is %100 correct. Me and a bud have been suffering on this boss for hours dealing with this ♥♥♥♥. The attacks from her hitting early/late are a massive problem for us. Impossible to play smart when her attack animations aren't syncing with when the damage is being dealt.

As a solo player on nightmare, the bigger problem with her is having to reload AND dodge all the time. There's no time to breathe or heal really. Oh and her goop projectile from her chest is just really jank. Sometimes it hits, sometimes it doesn't and it feels more like a cone of damage and not projectiles.

For phase two, her ''vampire'' attack hits not matter what AND it one shots(Most times). Even when i'm mid dodge and it looks like she missed, i get launched to the floor and i just have to wait and die.

Oh and, NO STAGGER MECHANIC???? I haven't staggered a single boss yet, even when doing 30% of their health in less than like 5seconds.

No stagger is the icing on the cake.

Yeah, took me and a friend 3 tries on veteran. Had to use the bore shot mod and we all focus fire on it to chunk health, and fire shot to do DoT without friendly fire like the fire tornado mod which tracks her if you land a direct hit but when she does a dive attack it follows her and really damaged us instead. Although it took 3 tries I am never, ever fighting her again.

Brah, the stagger mechanic is for YOU. The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ deer stagger in this ♥♥♥♥♥.

Did you had the purple elevator crystal sequence on nightmare solo yet?

Its a hoot

I managed to get it done solo + nightmare, but it was pretty hectic. Some of the projectiles in the first phase circle back if you take them the wrong way around, and the second phase one shot feels like it should have a QTE or something and leave you at 1HP if you fail maybe? I only got killed by it once, but it was still tricky to dodge.

And I didn't bother chasing her in the rooms when she leaves, it's honestly more trouble than it's worth.

You pretty much have to do P2 without getting hit (except by her basic attack) otherwise you're almost guaranteed to die.
I think it was a pretty fun and stressful boss still, I had fun honestly, and I got better as I learned her patterns. I only got hit twice in the final kill!

level up more, practice dodging and upgrade yer weapons

what makes this ♥♥♥♥ even worse is the fact that she refuses to do her minion move when on low HP so if you want the melee weapon you have to precisely burst her down at the right time, which can be hard to do if she goes to a faraway room or you make 1 mistake

What? You mean the dreamcatcher? Mate, you have it wrong in every sense of the word.

If you've been to the labyrinth the pistol there made her adds easy, and takes away like half her danger. Dodging into her helps a lot when she charges you then wait about a two steps and roll.

I did her on Veteran solo hunter + rifle and was reasonably familiar with her move set. My main gripe is that i could do phase one consistently but the second phase i would say is bugged because she does not do things in a consistent way.

It appears random or possibly bugged how she reacts to certain damage and what she may do, whereas in the first part, it's very predictable.

Dodge balls x2, shoot her chest when summoning, dodge one of two moves she does, rinse and repeat.

Phase 2, For me after repeated fights she seemed to glitch into the same animation move set over and over, no matter what i did, unless i went to the walls. It's a problem because the goes into the same triple dodge combo immediately after she just did it making you dodge until you run out of stamina.

Every time teleported to her area and triggered the fight she was ok but i died with her being low in second phase. If i stayed to repeatedly fight her, she got less and less predictable in the second phase, to the point where i was really thinking it's bugged.

Maybe i need to get gud but i have a feeling there is something wrong with her second phase, especially after repeated attempts.

I don't mind the high damage, its the fact that she isn't a glass cannon like some of the bosses, shes a tank with nukes. She hits hard, fast and stun locks. Which gives me no time to do anything, including healing.
