Final Boss

[thorin.hannahs]

Damn was that bad. Knock off Radiancecombined with the Medievil final gimmick fight.

Did it all with a tower shield and full set of plate. The game seems weirdly paced or there is a lot more that I am missing. I still have about 4 levels of blacksmith to go so a lot of end game stuff I don't have which is why I think I must have missed a lot.

It's not you're missing a lot, but you just didn't grind enough. The game expects you to kill enemies/loot the gathering spots for literal hours to be able to upgrade your vendors at the Witch Tree. It's... kind of ridiculous, honestly. Horrible pacing if you wan to max out all of them.

Ahhhh so it is more of a pacing thing. That is unfortunate I don't really want to mindless grind just to get lvl 18 or 19 plate.

Went into the fight a bit off and failed a couple of times :D, but then it hit me what to do and then the fight was a cakewalk. Did it with 2hander and focus on crit. I guess the camp lvlups is more for new game+ .

How does one NG+?

Hm I actually can't beat this guy. Mandragora's lantern drains faster than I can damage the boss.

You may notice that the lantern mechanic ramps up so the longer you hold the faster it will recover. You may need to eat an attack or sacrifice a stagger to refill if you can't DPS.

With all the flask upgrades and witch stones unaccounted for it makes you wonder if they are in an unreleased NG+ or if they are apart of some DLC not yet released.

What are the optimal builds for mid/end game? I'm at the Ferryman boss and it's not a hard fight but I'm getting killed because of the spongy unlimited adds screwing up my ability to dodge. That and even a full stamina bar of attacks is basically chip damage to this guy

There is a lot of ways to play. I played Sword and Board and used Full Plate with Tower Shield. I am pretty sure I was just making sure I could get all my passives on the right side of the Vanguard skill tree and then I prioritized Vigor to negate the weight penalties. You may have missed a recipe for a decent weapon somewhere along your way there.

I used paladin + druid combo. Made super tanky character that face tanked everything that healed a bunch and got insane shields. I oneshot every single boss face tanking from half the game till the end.

Yeah, managed to beat him with some luck. Did not enjoy the fight (or the rest of the game for that matter).

Prism and smite smoked everything without issue

Except falls. Falls killed me a lot.

That is fair. Bosses were meh until Wanna-be Radiance then it was just not a fun fight period.
