Ya'll think BALTEUS and SEA SPIDER are bad....

4 hits from the pile bunker killed that thing. though it took many many tries to pull off.

[SilkyJohnson]

really? I might try that

Dual stun needle launchers on your back a gatling gun in hand and a jet lance

Ibis is overrated. Took me like 3-5 tries for each phase, never learned the move set. Just stayed mobile hopping and jumping around with a light build and being super agressive. Ayre is the real deal... spent all day getting my ass kicked by her.

I had more trouble with Balteus. By the time I got to IBIS I had enough equipment to put together my old go to of light weight missile spamming builds. The difficulty of Balteus was more about limited options for me.

yeah ibis was rough. at the start she goes up in the air to fire stuff at you. perfect time for double ice worm stun needle.

then she charges at you and goes to your left, you can go that direction to complete the stagger. needles come back up part way through. can take out 70% health and sets you up for phase 2 with all 3 kits remaining.

phase 2 is rough though. i found closing the gap to her and strafing towards her like other bosses helped limit her moveset somewhat.
but with my phase 1 strategy you can brute force it with enough tries and a good AI routine in second phase.

[FAT WANZER]

i tried the Ong Bal dude strategy from youtube,surprisingly works even when i'm bad at the game,the Lance tracks the boss and after its moonlight slashes it is easy hit with lancer charge+ shotgun to the face= stagger then pile bunker for half HP gone

wait... you mean the boss that gets resurrected right? that one is hard? Only reason i failed to beat it on my first attempt was i was messing with the grinders before and there isn't a supply just before it. had no ammo and not my normal melee. Was not ready for that second phase at all. Second try it was dead. That was the easiest cweapon boss i came across i'm pretty sure.

What is it that people are having troubles with? Its not like it does a ton of damage or anything. or at least its very easy to dodge.

her phase 2 moveset can get pretty ridiculous, especially the longer the fight goes on. need to be spot on with dodges as her tracking is great, which i wasnt able to do haha.

good on you lad

Balteus was way worse than Ibis or Ayre IMO, simply because I hadn't found the easy mode build while fighting him.

i don't think i even realized the moveset changed. I didn't need to change anything i was doing at least. it got popped for stun so much i legitimately didn't realize people could have a problem.

I'll have to figure out what i had as a loadout and what i did differently. Pretty much the gist is i kept close while strafing and constantly poking with the charge burst rifle. Then i'd send some dual missiles and pop them with the upgraded shotgun for huge impact damage. once it was stunned it would take so much damage between all three weapons it would melt.

Maybe theres a trick to the movement that was just natural for me? Or maybe its because i was playing mouse and keyboard so it was easy for me to track it jumping around? I don't know how anyone could play this game on controller with how much later bosses jump around.

[yutterh]

Sea spider was nothing to me lol balteus was a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ that almost made me quit.

[Funpire]

Ibis is tough, but in a more engaging way than the other bosses. Everytime I get to phase 2 on Ibis, it's just such a good fight. You just need to pay attention to your hit marker warnings for the correct dodge timing and remember to use the third dimension.

It's the closest thing to an anime fight I've ever been in.

yeah that seems to be the way for bosses i found. hyper aggressive and stay close to limit their moveset somewhat.

but yeah try watching videos of her. her phase 2 aggression and tracking is pretty harsh especially if not close.
