Invincible Act 2 Boss

[Robinebra]

I have gone through all the needed steps to make the boss of act 2 (the swamp) vulnerable, and yet he has kept his HP regen, making him unkillable. How do I fix this issue? The 4 bonfires around the area where you fight the boss are NOT lit, if that helps with locating the issue.

You have to lit them

[Robinebra]

How does one do that? I get no prompt to do so when I approach them. Do I throw Molotovs at them or something?

Yeah you toss a molotov at the bonfires. If you sold them all or used them all, rest a few times in a row to respawn enemies, and kill some scally wags, as they drop molotovs as loot. That is if you can't buy it from the merchants.

Alright then, thank you all for your advice :)

You can use fiery ammo as well. Cocktail molotov CAN fail to ignite them.
I beat this boss twice now, the first time, I was hoping to kill it with the bonfires only so I lit them all and let it walk in all of them. When I realised it was doing nothing, I used my BIG gun and gold bullets, it took 4!!!

On my second run today, I only burn it once and my bullets (same weapon, same bullets) were doing WAY less damage.

I think that the bonfires remove some kind of protection this boss has.

FYI.

Yeah, I read the prompt that the bonfires give you. Each fire lit increases the amount of damage the boss takes by 30%

Good to know, I'll need to stop skipping every cutscene and dialogue in games at some point :)

Forcing the player to waste finite resources to light the bonfires = developer fail. Lighting the bonfires does nothing anyway. After half an hour I took off maybe a quarter of his health. No more molotovs. No more incendiary ammo. No more dynamite. Took a bedrest to restock traders and found he was back to full health. What? Can't kite cuz acid tentacles. So it's basically a softlock.

Shame they crapped the bed this far into the game, I was really enjoying myself.

Hey there,
once the ritual fires are lit, the boss should be much, much easier to deal with - especially since its regeneration is halved. But the boss has to enter the blue fire first, before weakness is exposed. And the more blue flames it enters, the easier it is to kill it.

If that happened and it still took a long time of you trying to kill that boss and made you run out of resources, then something may be wrong.

Well, I pulled it off.

Solution: Explored the rest of the map, specifically the NW section past the saw mill and found The Second Coming on top of the burned out doctor's place-- finally, something that can chamber all the Long Ammo I've been stockpiling.

Loaded up on nitro rounds for Emerald Eyes to hit the bonfires when Cthulhu gets close enough then just kited the hell out of it, ignoring the tentacles completely. Took about 5-10 minutes.

I guess I just wasn't counting on a giant boss fight in my stealth-action game, but here we are.
