This game is great but the swamp boss old man is the worst designed thing ive ever played

[Terry Hesticles]

literally such a bad design. its anti fun. and full of bs

such a shame for such a good game

Someone died to a Lurker while chasing him down.

Invest in movement speed equipment. The lightning wall gives a speed buff for running through it.
It's a very silly "fight" and success or failure largely depends on what enemies show up.

He patrols in a certain route and doesn't stray to far from his path. You can chase him into a corner and he'll double back and forth to the area. Best advice I can give is do a massive deforestation in the area he patrols and kill everything. Don't bother with the swamp part stick to the south of it with no frogs. And watch out for big boy.

[Galroche]

don't worry, you'll see him a lot more while doing rift

[Glyph]

It feels like a troll to have him show up as a rift boss lmao

oh ffs, thats not what i wanna hear

You can use the spear skill to pull the boss closer to you, also the void skill is really good to keep him in place, and one unholy magic to summon some skeletons so they can distract other mobs.

The first time i played this game and had to kill the boss was the first time that i really thought about alt f4 and stopping playing the game, really bad boss design, thanks Sigmar i managed to kill him back then other wise i would be missing one of my favorite games.

Okay? I thought it was a fun alternative to the usual boss fights.
The seamstress was kinda silly since she's just running around town.
Chasing after the old man with mobs coming out of the mists was a pretty entertaining concept.

Fun? I nearly got a heart attack when an eldritch juggernaut came out of the fog with an aoe slam.

I beg to differ, that sounds hilarious :D

just would be cool if he also unlocked some hood / helmet or allowed to equip some "gem" on a decoration helmet , so we could have the anti fog benefit, without having to change cape :)

You know the positive thing about the rift fight for him is there is no Mist or Screen obscuring filter. Just have to contend with the adds and you can chase in a direction you see clear and fit to engage him.

[theworld]

He has like 1/3 less HP than in Gloomrot 1 year ago, he's not gonna get nerfed further.
