It makes sense to reset the boss fight 1-2 times when its your first time but something like 5th time? That's utterly embarassing and probably means you have a very poor approach youre not changing.

Not everyone is an expert with mouse and keyboard.

She is doable

I tried once with the crossbow and failed miserably because I couldn't juggle everything. Went back in with the greatsword and wiped the floor with her.

What known issue.. there is no issue to fix. You need to get better and kill her that's it.

My friend and I are running through the game again.. we are currently on The Duke of Ballaton.. we killed Maja first try.

There are bosses WAYYYYY WAYYYYYYYYYYYY worse than her.. she is difficult but learning her move set helps a lot.

I agree she needs a nerf. She does entirely too much damage for a boss with such a wide attack radius. By the time you get to her, your health is just barely above 400, and every one of her attacks, including those of her minions, is never below 30. Even if you manage to find a warrior or creature with blood quality of 60+ to get a damage reduction buff, that's still not gonna mitigate enough damage for you to find the time to safely damage her. And forget leaving the room to stand behind a wall and heal, cuz that'll just reset her health. The reaper is fantastic for taking care of the minions, as a single Q will easily wipe them out, but when she goes for a heal, you don't have enough time to kill the minion and dash away because she immediately casts another ink demon at you, dealing on average 38 damage, which is a pretty devastating hit with how difficult it is to dodge her wider AoE attacks while also dodging minions. Overall, her damage is too damn high for a boss with so many wide range attacks.

I am quoting you, just cause I think you are who "resurrected" this post.

I did struggle with this boss initially when I was trying to stay far away from her/range her, and maybe trying to ignore the minions a bit in hopes I can just finish her off.

But when I changed the strat to just full force melee cleave her she was sooo much easier. I used a greatsword and the illusion Phantom Aegis shield ability/Bloodrage increase attack speed little heal ability (Blood Rite parry ability can be good but I suck with these kinda abilities xD).

Just run at her and when she blinks away keep on her, this way you force the minions she spawns to be next to her as well to cleave them, so that when she starts the healing thing the minion is already at low health.

Save your shield for eating her paper attack/direct ranged ink attack she has, these are what hurt the most. The papers are actually kinda easier to dodge if you are next to her, because if you are behind the animation you avoid the entire situation lol.

This is generally one of the worst abilities to use on bosses with adds.

1)This does not block Ink attacks cleanly like a shield/counter ability does, meaning she still spawns her adds on hit even if you absorb the damage.

2)Vs most of the bosses with adds the best course of action is to kill the adds ASAP and a non-damaging ability does not help with that.

lol this thread still exists.

I dunno I tried to aoe the minions the first few times but if I recall they move a little weird, and then she blinks and starts papering so I was like I am not even going to bother with them xD. When she starts tunneling one of them, I'll try my best if I fail ow well.

I like Aegis though in general...I dunno the random spell resets/mass weaken/shielded while swinging feel good to me, and I think you get higher cd reduction if it lands on adds no? I don't recall her adds actually doing any meaningful damage.

I mostly aegis/bloodrage melee swinged to death most bosses. I am not like saying it's ideal, but it felt like I can play stupider.

I did have to switch up to full ranged spells mode with some of them though, keeping it spoiler free I guess.

Bloodrite is I agree waaaay better, but I am just terrible with such things.
