First Boss fight that..

[Gargoyle]

Has absolutely pissed me the ♥♥♥♥ off. The mission where you get trapped in a giant cylinder fighting some ♥♥♥♥♥ out ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ moving the speed of light firing off some moonlight greatsword BS. Fought it 4 times now, the later 2 attempts i killed its ♥♥♥♥♥ ass but oh boy oh boy less the 5-7 seconds on the clock so i still ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fail the mission. FUN mission design absolutely nailed the fun factor on this on.

Whats the strat here? Ive tried multiple times of combos but the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ is too damn fast and does to much stagger you have almost no time to think. Rant/Vent over...lol... any tips?

Its such so much so fast in tiny room i think i almost had a panic attack or something lol.

Okay, just tell me where you are, I might have fought this guy. Are you in Chapter 4?

Im assuming you're talking about the ephemera drone in the Explore Depths 3 mission.

dual 10-tube rocket launchers or 6-tube pincer rockets will pressure it enough to where it will eventually run out of quickboost en. Assault armor is also really good at stunning it if its nearby. A pile bunker will oneshot it from around 3/4 of its health if you have melee-specced arms and its staggered. Aside from that, its just a standard AC fight, if you could kill the Dafeng rookie in 30 seconds you can get this one too.

He's fighting the AC in the pressure chamber after taking out the laser grid generator.

Oh boy you're gonna have a fun time shortly after that...

But quad shotguns, 2 gats/songbirds, something to build stagger quick then a huge burst damage attack. close range fcs really comes in clutch here.

yeah that mission, and i had no idea what i was fighting cause it blends in with the chamber. I was using the twin 10x pod, Pile Bunker and a Zimmer then a Chaingun. Twin Machine guns and missiles. It just never seems enough.

For me, I go full Bashoo AC, machinegun, pulse blade, sondbird and 6 cell missile launcher. OS get defense up, direct damage, kinetic/energy damage/melee, and terminal armor to get revive.

All I do is just build up stagger and finish off with pulse blade with 1 min countdown

Oh yeah, that guy.

I'm pretty sure I used what's basically my standard build- Two Scudder rifles, two of those 3x2 pincer missile launchers, biped, and just kept dodging and never stopped shooting until he fell down. That left me about 30 seconds, which was more than enough to get out.

Without altering your kit too much, maybe try a melee switch build. That or a shotty switch build.

Another hint: Ephemeras have high energy defense.

Pure Ballistic/missile builds usually with the Pile Bunker.

This is extra hilarious because its not even a boss, just an AC.

Boss implies something above you. Hence the word BOSS. You are on equal footing.

Any enemy is a boss till you kill it. It kept jumping everywhere ABOVE me...and it killed me 2 times first...So....Boss fight or more like a MIni Boss fight.
