About the One True King

[The Ultimate Despair]

Just beat it solo, is it just me or is his moveset kinda.. a bit too easy?
Feels like he just teleports slam and.. that's it?

he has more movesets but i think he's easy cus he's slow, however if they made him faster oh boy

I wouldn't want him to be faster or to hit harder really, faster would just make it near impossible to react to the teleport except relying on sound alone, and that ain't something most players can do.
Hitting harder would just be the easiest possible band-aid fix, and that's just lazy.

I feel like adding a few more things to the fight would be more interesting.

I was also pretty surprised how straightforward his attacks were and I'm pretty sure the green COVID balls have done more damage to me/my build than the end boss of the dlc

My biggest complaint is how grueling the fight can be. I'm sure walking in to him the next time understanding the fight more I won't need to see 7 waves of Dran, but damn, dude summoned the whole village over a single attempt.

funny part, me and my friend managed to just insta kill the whole village as we were both Ritualists all he did was pop miasma and i cast eruption. and poof all dead. Nightmare btw.
However i bet it wont be any different in apoc as im still killing Dran easily with eruption atm

Id say more damage is warranted with how slow and easy his attacks are to roll, BUT I also feel like there was some missed potential for a phase 2.

1) The axe breaks from 2-3 slam and root takes hold of him, turning OTK and the dran he summons into the infested monsters
or
2) Drops axe from player breaking it 2-3 times, and the arena is set on fire as the Red prince arrives to help OTK up from the ground

Honestly i expected second phase after that. Faerin/Faelin is much harder i think

you mean he is properly balanced? he still heals and is invulnerable to damage at certain periods wich just extends the fight too much.
He is my favourite boss in the game because of the voice acting, the lore, story and the fight.
he actually has 3 rewards that tie to the lore wich is great

I had trouble with him first time around, but after destroying his weapon he died fast, he falls to his kness stunned and rinse and repeat. If you dont do this his last phase he does a slam that hits hard.

Problem is that the slam and any shockwaves he does, is easily rolled through, even from point blank into the hammer

The freaking enemies, even their physical attacks could kill me in two hits, but I can tank an elite and OTK no problem. Go figure.

I disagree with the more damage. That is always the lazy option. Give him more combos/mix ups, now suddenly he will do more damage, but in a way that is more mechanically enjoyable and especially will not feel like just added cheap damage

[The Ultimate Despair]

Just to clarify, I love the fight. I am not complaining, I was just wondering

[inaliFTW]

I dunno, I was waiting for a hellish fight with 2-3 phases. I'll take it! The spear guy was pretty tough and the main game boss was tough. So when it wasn't I was happy, but, I do think he will get buffed a ton. Looking forward to it.

Between the Witch with Trapper, and the other guy with Trapper and totk. The King was by far the easiest of the DLC bosses. Flet pretty good not to die because of Trapper DoT for once though. :P
