Adam The First Born

[Salty]

Just a question for the Devs, Who Hurt you and why must you take that out on your playerbase?! lol Dracula never gave me even half the struggle this Troll of a boss does.

[Holydivine]

Agree, Dracula is way easier then this Adam

Username checks out.

me and my duo only just managed to take him down on normal

all it took was: every single buff active, bloodmoon level 89 gear and a magic build designed specifically for fighting him

and a lot of luck, learn his moveset, the reason I think why this dude is so hard is because of the difficulty spike, as no before before him comes close so you never really need to learn

Really needs to have an Adam mega thread for people to rant.

Boss fight isn't hard, focus generators and use a weapon with evasion.

I mean, the Holy Hulk took some learning, (Double Shields FTW) but this guy has no gimmick, and it just becomes a battle of attrition it seem lol I've had him down to like 5% health 2nd phase 3 times and he gets a wild hit off that just plugs me...its heartbreaking hahaha

That's funny, I've been trying Adam today and I also find him a bit overtuned. I can deal with the first phase and deactivate the generators quite reliably during the fight, but I have some difficulty keeping up with his teleport moves. The ground slam always comes at the worst times, as well as his lightning fast (heh) grab. the regular grab, on the other hand, is easily dodged by simply strafing.
Also, while I can manage his one-two-three combo quite well, he will sometimes be locked on me however I move, making the first wave a guaranted hit. Not sure if this is intended, since it happens randomly, but I'm a bit salty about that.
But the worst is when you have to deal the mines + the lightning storm + the generators + the boss. It all feels too RNG heavy.

If it can help, my best tries (20 so far) were with using void + shield of the damned + chaos veil + a level 30 gun. The E dodge on the gun is pretty handy in a lot of situations and skeletons are good to keep aggro for a bit while I deal with the generators or DPS Adam. I use the lightning ultimate that makes you go The Flash for a bit, but the ice block might be a good idea to recover some health.

Yeah, Im still swinging at level 89 with a purple weapon and only have a 100% Rouge blood, made due with Dracula and the other bosses, but I'm thinking I'm going to have to invest some time in getting my arsenal up to snuff for this guy.

Lol congrats on the first views, and those legendary weapons are something else, guess its like I said to buddy guy above, I will just have to go get myself some better gear and blood and try again.

Dude, I'm not in it for the views or the channel growth. All the videos are "unlisted", meaning nobody will see them without a direct link. They don't even appear on my channel when you go into my YT profile.

Those are some insanely fast weapon swaps you got there btw what gems you running?

There's generally 1 mod that is very good, and 1 mod that is good, for the rest you typically want whatever boosts damage, as there are usually mostly garbage mods left.

For Blood Rite it's Immaterial duration, then it's just damage mods. The "Throw 4-5 daggers" mod that is featured in these videos is worse than it seems, because it's 1 per target, meaning it does very little vs bosses. It's still more useful than garbage like "Fading snare" which I think is literally useless vs bosses that are immovable.

But Blood Rite isn't even that great, it's just low effort and easy to use. If you want max damage with a shield/counter go Chaos.

For Cold you want Cooldown Reduction per hit, best roll you can get. The secondary is move speed while channeling, the rest are not as good as these.

For Dash you want Elude duration, secondary is when you periodically damage and apply Static, go for damage on the rest if you can.
