Ring of Mercy not working on Bosses

[Softshine798]

Hi. I was trying to catch a Wumpo Botan boss to get an alpha, and when I had the ring equipped and used handgun to try to weaken, it was killed.

Just to do the usual checks...
You're only doing physical attacks on your own, right?
Ring of Mercy does not extend to your Pals' attacks.
Ring of Mercy does not extend to status effects or other DoT.

This is not working for all i think now, or can fail in many cases, they need fix it. I am trying capture a normal pal level 52 but my frostalion kill him.

Ring of Mercy will not work if Frostalion gets the kill. Ring of Mercy only applies to your own attacks, for Pals they need to have the negative passive 'mercy hit'

Ah ok, thanks for the information. Unfortunately with this option this ring is useless for me. Why can you fight without a pal? I prefer hold the target life without it.

If you get a pal that has the passive trait, Mercy Hit, then the pal can't kill them. But, that does not apply to damage over time. So if the pal applies burn effect or poison effect, those effects might still kill your prey. And I maybe wrong about this, but I do think Ring of Mercy will work on a pal, if you are mounted. It however still doesn't prevent death form damage over time.

That is correct.

Honestly, pals you can ride gain the ring of mercy effect while you're riding them. Riding Frostallion with "do not attack" enabled from the pal menu so it can't attack without your order means you can use its attacks while mounted without losing the Ring of Mercy's effect if it's equipped. Just remember NOT to have it on "attack aggressively/same target" or it will still attack when you dismount and kill your target.

If you mount a Pal while equipped with the ring, it also extends to the Pal only while you're mounted.

This!
Just discovered this. tried to kill a pal can confirm. ride your strongest pal and lay waste with the ring of mercy equipped.

If you hate mounted combat, I was there with you, until I got a perfect speed Frostallion Noct. Now I love mounted combat, and not just on him. I didn't like learning it with the others, but now that I've got a grasp on it, I can use most mounted pals to some degree of competency. Get yourself a fast pal to learn the ropes of mounted combat so you an actually avoid things altogether, then pay attention to the attack patterns and how attacks actually behave, and that will help you. Frostallion is a fine mount, just need a fast one to learn the ropes with. That's how it was for me anyway.

(you don't need perfect speed per se, just faster than average. Perfect speed can be a little tricky to control, on a truly fast mount anyway)

It also makes a huge difference what attacks you have on your pal. Some people hate the burst attacks, but I love them. Most people love things like Dark Laser, and while I use it, it's not my favorite attack because it's a long wind up and you are stuck there for a bit, you're going to get hit when you use it, that's all there is to it.

My personal favorite attack is, I think it's spirit flame, it's a mid range attack that is three homing missiles of hate. The wind up on it isn't too bad, and it hits pretty hard for a mid range attack, and you are only stuck there for a sec or so.

I just noticed how many people responded. For the people asking what I was doing when I was fighting it, when it was at low health, I put away my Pal completely when it was at ~10% hp, and then whittled away at the boss with a pistol. There were no status effects on it, so when I landed the final blow, it should've been at 1HP, but it was killed despite that.

DOT (damage over time) still can kill Pals even with the ring equipped, poison and flame are very common, many dragon attacks also have a chance to inflict burn.

My favourite attack is to hover above the enemy where they can't see me, hold down LT to aim my rocket launcher, then mash RT a few times to turn the entire area into plate glass. Pal attacks are an absolute joke next to the power of the rocket launcher.
