Green Monster of the Swamp

[Pink Eye]

I finally got to this boss. Yo what are those attack animations. I don't have the reflexes to parry those attacks, and its red attacks keep throwing me off with how delayed they are. Then it does this burrow attack that I can't dodge or block unless I somehow guess which direction it's going to leap from ground then run to other side to dodge. Aw man. I'm going to the gym. I need to prepare myself for the 8 hour death match I'm going to have with this thing.

Also the b@stard isn't even green. Scammed.

I actually might have changed my mind about this boss...

I have tried the boss JUST once yesterday to see what awaits me and I got destroyed by the tentacles because I got Decay and I was like "WTF he gives Decay on every hit ?" and today after one more try I have realised that it's only the tentacles which give Decay...

On my 3rd try (1 yesterday, 2 today so far) I reached his second phase and took like 30% of his HP, he might actually not be as hard as people describe this boss...

What build are you using, if you don't mind me asking.

I JUST BEAT HIM ON LIKE 6TH TRY LOL

I use the Romeo's Scythe, I usually apply fire on it before the fight (you can get to second phase within even like 40-50 seconds if you are lucky about his attacks)

EDIT: For my Legion Arm, I used Puppet String on max level, you can sometimes really give him a good bonk on the head with it...

The funny thing is also that I didn't use any throwables, if you use those, you can really take a HUGE chunk of his health away...

Is the green monster considered a "carcass" enemy? There's a amulet that does extra damage to them, I used it when I fought it last night but never did figure out if it actually works on it.

What worked for me was being super aggressive for both phases. They both give you a lot of opportunities to combo and land multiple charged attacks. Kind of treated it like an armored core 6 dps race bossfight, where the goal is to inflict as much damage as possible, combo and stagger and crit, before it has a chance to hit you with its big damage and drain all your heals.

It definitely takes some practice and you'll need to learn at least some of the moveset and be able to parry some attacks. A lot of the 2nd phase I was able to just dodge and counter, I didn't parry many attacks for that part. It probably took me 2-3 hours to beat it without summons or cheese.

I think it is carcass at least for the first phase, I have used +4 Technique amulet so I can do more damage every time, no matter if it's a puppet or carcass lol

The lucky thing is that he uses a lot of attacks from Watchman in 2nd phase so you can easily counter them...

Fire is a huge thing in this fight though, I got into 2nd phase once within like 30 seconds because of that lol

I slept and I'm guessing you're still stuck.

Yeah you can actually catch the whole monster on fire in the first phase, pretty satisfying watching that f'r burn tbh. Fire buffs, fire throwables, and the carcass amulet should make short work of the first phase. Just not sure if the fact that its basically wearing puppet armor in the 2nd phase stops the amulet from working or not. I also used the technique amulet for more damage, and stamina recovery so I could be more aggressive.

I see in your achievements that you beat the boss... congrats!

Holy sh1t, holy sh1t. I did it. Yo. F#CK this boos. F#CK decay degrading weapon durability way faster than it should. F#CK this clunky ass parry system. and lasty, and more importantly, F#CK these jank ass boss animations.

Farm the near by enemies for throwables.
When you get the boss down to half Health (use the fire arm and spectre for that ) throw all your throwables at the boss.

By the HP bar, you probably should have invested some of those points into damage or stamina (stamina especially if you are playing with a big weapon) instead, even I don't have that much HP and I am right in front of the boss in chapter 10 lol

You really don't need that much HP imo.

man the more i play the more i am starting to hate this game xd

the second half definetly needs tweaking on the visuals and timing of attacks to make them feel more fluid

[NicZerus]

i am stuck with this boss , 40 tries , i dont have idea how to win .

[mayhem523]

That video is actually pretty impressive considering how little damage you were doing. No wonder you were struggling. I'm guessing you didn't use the carcass damage amulet? Really got those parries down though, nice job.
