Do yourselves a favor and avoid Brutal difficulty.

[Discipline Before Dishonor]

Just a warning from a friend, the devs royally ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it up. Bosses are completely immune to all forms of CC (Even on lower difficulties this is true, but on harder difficulties it's significantly more noticeable). You can't freeze them, slow them, stun them, nor can you interrupt their casts, and they all have new abilities on Brutal difficulty, most of which are either broken by design, or trivial and easy to counter. There is no in between. Basically the new abilities that V Bloods have, which are exclusive to Brutal difficulty, are either completely and utterly unfair and broken, or they're practically useless and completely easy to avoid.

Tristan for example, he has a whirlwind spin where he whirlwinds around with his sword, but here's the catch: Not only does he outspeed you while using it, and not only can you not slow/stun/freeze/interrupt him while casting it, and not only does it last for 10 seconds (yes, 10 seconds), and not only can he eliminate your entire health pool from full by using that single move just once, but I even tried to switch to Wolf Form (+60% speed) to run away from him while he used it, and he was still faster than me, even when I used Wolf Form. Oh, and it has a 20 second cooldown.

So honestly, just protect yourselves from this failed attempt that the devs made at creating a difficulty. Jesus loves you. Have a nice day.

Brutal is just new movesets + higher stats?

Me and my friend are playing on brutal, we just got done mist forest. Tera was a nightmare, the little rock bug things she summons are quite durable and we did not realise there was a cape to get rid of the mist until we beat the weapon summon dude, he was also a nightmare but I think it would have been much easier knowing about the cape.

Im enjoying brutal. Just got to SilverLight.

Here's Tristan full melee, no summons, Mace only, 42 GS, 30% Creature blood.

For demonstration purposes I do get hit by the spin here. Then there's also a demonstration of how to use the wolf form against the spin, as well as getting his spin hobbled by a random indestructible rock.

This is Maja with the same GS and skills as before, but this time it's Axe + Reaper and 75% Warrior.

I just kept chucking wolfs at him and using my mist teleport when he got close, having an 80 scholar blood helped a lot, at 10 stacks of mist passive I got recasts quite often, I also used a scythe. He got me a few times but all in all not a hard fight. When I say he got me I mean a wandering pack joined the fight and got me killed, when I got him in a good location and fought 1v1 I finished the fight with about 40% hp.

been playing Solo Brutal mode and i find it pretty easy for the most part ive kiilled every boss but the last 5

[LazyJoeBeard]

I only found the weapon dude in mist forest (did not know about cape at that time) and Terra to be hard on brutal, I am playing co-op with my friend but also playing a solo game on brutal. I think the sun killed me more then the V bloods.

Bro,I suck at this game. But I’m having fun on Brutal so far. A lot of the fights including Tristan are easily won by changing your build slightly to match the encounter. Melee is at a huge disadvantage in this game on most fights at least for me. But I make it work. I may die 20 times before I figure out what I’m missing but I’d rather learn to be better at each fight than google it or rage quit. Tristan for example,you can use the chaos ult to charge him to force stop his spin to win,you will get hit by the initial damage but it will stop it completely.

I'm playing the game in brutal difficulty and I'm having no problems with this.

The Brutal difficulty is for people who have already played and know the game;
I have beat the game before the 1.0 before a few times, and I know most bosses so brutal makes it much more fun.

Not only this, but I have a friend who's doing it first time in Brutal difficulty, and since he's a streamer, I have proof of it if you need any.

It's fine that you don't like Brutal difficulty, but don't make others stay away from it because of your own personal view of fun or difficulty.

PS: No, I didn't look up guides on how to beat, and neither does he.

When to use your veil? When he does the spin. Slip right past him and keep walking. He can't catch up in time to deal damage.

that's simply not true, sry.

[Jimbo]

Stop whining and get good, i have several friends that have beat the whole game on brutal with no issues. Its called skill. They have actually been complaining that its too easy on brutal lol.

[Airkixer]

Brutal makes the pve side of the game actually interesting, finally.

Play right and you win without issue. Play poorly and this thread happens.

Google the meta and you win without issue, but believe there's more than one way to skin a rabbit, and you'll lose repeatedly until you google it. That's just the way this game is designed.

Yeah but why do you want to use a river stone to skin the rabbit so badly rather than using a knife or at the very least, a sharp object?
