the red prince fight is dumb

[AlphaWolf]

so i decided to go for the crown cause why the ♥♥♥♥ not so i did all the ♥♥♥♥ to get the dagger as a weapon and go to the actual fight (and im doing this on the easiest mode btw as im not ready for a harder one) so i go to try to do his fight and it turns out hes like 300000x harder than the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ final boss

constant clones constant fire and curse procs constant unrelenting attacks like WHAT IN THE ACTUAL ♥♥♥♥????

how the ♥♥♥♥ am i supposed to even fight this?

if i try doging it doesnt usually help and i still have to get very lucky making it still VERY unfun fight

he HAS to be bugged right now right????

Engi/Challenger. turret gun, Life Siphon, and minion lifesteal. Use buff instead of rampage. Heavy armor with encumb ring to light roll. EZ PZ just melee to hell when he surrounds you.

[LoveTruffle]

It's a cage match, bring your close up game. Challenger is a good choice with any other AT really, support or damage.

[Eudicots]

I would just recommend you go with a tanking build since it will make it easier to time the killing blow. I went with a medic/challenger build on survivor and I upgraded the dagger to make sure I landed the killing blow.

Go do some coop for a while and gear up. I spanked him like a red headed step child on the 2nd try using my Hunter/Invader on a blood based load out.

this will easily steal the kill from said melee weapon

see if you can get the ring that prevents curse build up and preferably get the ring to roll faster no matter the weight and use heavy armor.
Otherwise, use a lot of defensive items like black cat ring, hp tonic, heal over time. The bleeding grenades on the boss etc.
Healing shot also helps. Using neutral dodge is good too, just see what else you have to improve your survivability

I just got the crown few minutes ago. I put the engineer earthquake thingie in the middle. Used void heart and HEXWARD, most important thing. When i saw he was low i put away bot n beat on him. All those rings of damage reduction and shields were neato. I was wearing 3 pieces of letos. But nothing else special. I chopped away at him with lvl 3 knife till he died. Man that assassins blade is horrible. Oh well. Crowns mine now.

He is easy on challenger/engineer as like the fairy prince he is weak to melee damage but it sucked on gunslinger/engineer/summoner. There is very little room for dodging in the fire arena and he packs a punch. Some say it is good to use anti-curse ring.

Imo he and Nightweaver are bad fights because you cannot really be a sniper there, meleeing and shotgunning them works tho.

Invader/Summoner. Eat an Elder Thaen Fruit before you go in for an extra life (will not work if you get killed by his fire tornado). You must stay on the center platform. Invader's void cloak makes it impossible for him to hit you. The summons distract him to some extent and kill the adds. Very handy to have the mutator on your melee weapon that gives you a shield every time you hit him with it (Shield Breaker). Most important is the Hyperconductor amulet. This doubles your skill charges so you have 2 void cloaks available and 2 sets of summons. This works best if you've maxed the Expertise trait and used rings to get your skill cooldown as low as possible. Hyperconductor is found on the train in Terminus Station on N'Erud. I always collect that item ASAP when I start a new playthrough.

I beated him on first try

[The Icecream Snowman]

I beat him on nightmare by putting an impact cannon down when we get to the fire ring phase, and using doggy to heal me and bother his summons.

Kill the summons as a priority, they don't have loads of HP and they might drop ammo. The main thret they pose is staggering you just as you need to dodge.

I used the Bonesaw with Bandit and the lanyard, never had to reload. He takes little damage from body shots but lots from head shots, so I built around that.

There is a ring you can get that makes it so you cannot be cursed.
Highly recommend for red prince.

[bagonzago]

Well better him than the stupid alternative boss that can one shot.

no curse ring + medic healing AoE and keeping all my gear +0 (except an accidental +1 from picking up same gun) made him pretty "easy" since his damage didnt scale out of control

the issue is the hell in the cell fight of you dont have max stamina and recovery traits for learning. without those its going to take some practice runs
