lightreaper ng+

[Parre Stoned]

just a rant of how tough is that bossfight in ng+

[Baron01]

I have only tried him in those 1-time encounters and failed 3 times because when he buffs himself under 50% HP his damage output spikes out massively. I can heal myself up using spells/auras but past that point he can burst me down from 1000+ HP in single combo.

His jumping slash fire attack is the biggest BS ever. it one shots regardless of build, it's super fast and ITS ARENA WIDE. If you have ANY lag at all it WILL kill you!
Seriously, I have almost finished ng+ and the Lightreaper is 2nd only to the Sundered Monarch for most BS "difficulty"

Guess I got really lucky... beat him my first try on ng+.

[Task]

Just sharing what's worked for me, I just beat him on NG+3 by posture breaking him.

Build:
Weapon: Bloody Glory+10, 2 Orimon (Rad scaling), 1 Ruq (Posture dmg)
Off-hand: Sanctified Huntress Shield +5, 3 Nartun (Mana regen)
ring 1: Envenomed Ring (+ charged dmg/posture dmg)
ring 2: Charred Root (cast infernal spells with non-inferno catalyst
pendant: Hallowed Triptych (Holy dmg deal posture dmg)
catalyst: Exacter Scripture +10 (Radiance)
Heavy armor

Buffs:
Aura of Tenacity (- 25% dmg) - never runs out due to mana regen
Adyr's Rage ( + 10% dmg buff)
Adyr's Hardiness (- 25% dmg)
Radiant Weapon (radiant dmg buff)
Unripe Berries (endurance regen)

Attack with nothing but fully charged strong attacks. It does not do insane damage, but it is very effective at posture breaking which is the build focus.
edit:
It's also very tanky

I could be wrong, but this thread was made way before they decided to heavy-nerf the bosses in NG+.

Also, between NG+1 and NG+4, the bosses have little to no difference in difficulty, as I was able to defeat Lightreaper in NG+4 in the first encounter, around level 240 before the nerfing.
So, I would assume the NG+ bosses are now much less challenging to defeat.

Except there are no boss nerfs. If anything some bosses were made harder.
