Question about the BIG Mobs in Open World

[Globii]

Soooo, im ~Level 35, Act 2... How on earth am I supposed to beat the REALLY Big Monsters that are in the Open World?

These things have like a Quadrillion HP and Oneshot everything.
Am I missing something? How am I supposed to beat those?

You can try and equip some pictos with defensive stats.
This will help you to survive one or two hits of SOME attacks (other attacks will still one shot you).

But at the end you are supposed to parry most of the attacks.

You can also lower your difficulty settings. This will lower their HP and damage.

He took around 25min aint that hard or come back later. He gives broken OP ass picto tho.

[AkumulatoR]

You can beat him by the time you're going for monolith if you git gut at dodging/parrying his moves. Or just do it in act 3 with damage unlocked.

[Globii]

Huh? Cant imagine that its supposed to be THIS hard, like for example the big weird thing thats walking around in the Water.... Even if I do my best Attack I cant even see his HP go down.

That fight would take me atleast 1 Hour of PERFECT Gameplay, theres no way thats how its supposed to be.

Be significantly higher than level 35.

Once you get to higher levels, and have better pictos/weapons, you'll be doing significantly more damage. Can do millions per hit yourself, so taking down enemies with tonnes of health becomes much easier/quicker.

Oooh, so im getting like a Special Item later on that makes me significantly stronger than I am right now?

Cause like I said -> Max. Damage I do right now is around 10k, it wont even scratch the big things HP Bar, cant even see it go down atleast a little bit xD

Yes you get to remove the damage cap at some point (not missable).

You do become a lot stronger throughout the game. It's possible to defeat those big guys earlier but they do take a while with the amount of HP they have. Just come back later unless you have very consistent parries/dodges and enough patiences to kill that amount of HP. It is very rewarding but that reward is still valuable even if you come back later.

Progress in the story, u will unlock a picto to uncap your damage.

[Encleaver]

most enemies are level based, but as long as you are GOD at parry you can beat everyone

[Globii]

Good stuff, thanks for the Answers Guys.

Guess i'll be coming back to those Guys later, dont have the Patience for a fight like that right now :D

Yea... Im not

you can even steal a picto that gives over 1k defense, if you aggro enemies at a place which is far beyond your level, then run back as they chase you and pic up the picto.

no spoiling where it is.

after that you've to find a place where you can reach ~lvl 45-50 and find some lvl21 weapons at those mobs, already accessible in act2, but very hard, because it is a danger zone.

or you just keep on playing and come back later, because if you clear everything, the main story becomes too easily beatable, I still did everything before entering the monolith, ruins the boss battles a little

only playing on normal, expert is doable but a waste of time in my opinion

PS: some bosses are beatable by exploiting their ingrained mechanic and breaking them from there on

It is an illusion of open world, everything is extremely level gated. Just do main and return back at least 1 act later, otherwise you will be angered by the amount of dead ends you find

I had no issues with this world, I'm not that good at parrying, I just cleared everything from the start, went everywhere where it was possible and went back to the places which were op, all before I was half through act 2

No you didnt. Most of these enemies kill you in 1 hit. If you did, congrats, you are in the top 1% of players, but that doesnt make it true for almost anyone
