help with boss 3 obsession

[Ami]

Hi all, i just had the unfortunate thing happen of a party wipe on act 3 boss. im looking for suggestions to what i can do different to survive in future. i went in with PD, GR, Flag and MaA. i had buffed up MaA with inn food for health and death res etc etc. he was at 74 health i think and nice resist all over the place. i managed in first phase to get 1 seed on Flag and 2 on MaA. none on backrow, all were in good health etc going into the final phase. then in 2 hits, boss takes MaA to deathsdoor, and with no chance to heal him he died:o sad sad. what did i do wrong? any suggestions pls for my next try? any help appreciated, <3

Having only 2 in your team with the mark is pretty decent, could also try to get all marks on your MAa. The only way I know of how to do that is to move your tank to each spot, after he have received the mark from the spot.
Basically, have the tank on spot 1, get mark, move him to spot 2, if the eye on that spot have already given a mark then kill the eye until its completely dead so when it respawns your tank will get the mark. Then move tank to 3 and 4 in a similar way.

Another good thing to do is to save the +4 speed inn food (could also use the pet that gives speed), to give you a better chance at starting first. This gives you an opportunity to buff your tank with the 75% reduced dmg shields so he doesn't get put to death door immediately. Save other good inn foods for the last fight as well.

Besides that, its a lot of RNG in this fight (as well as RNG with trinkets etc). Best of luck!

You need to get all 4 eye tokens on MAA, keep killing those little eye spawns until you do it.
Constantly healing him with your plague doctor and health potions until you can't, he also has a self healing skill at death's door. In the mean time keep using upgraded shield skills of him to reduce damage.
At least 1 hard hitting hero is necessary, hellion ravager is great. You gotta buff her with items, try to find that bottle which gives crit when you use. if not bring some attack boosting items.
Blinding and debuffing the boss is also important, you can use back skill of jester for it.
I would definitely switch Flag with Jester for this run, flag would make you slow.

Blind does not work on the boss fyi. Neither does taunt on the small eyes in phase 1 (you didnt write this, but its worth mentioning since a lot of older guides mention this).

[Ami]

thanks both of u, will try jester for sure:) i think i just got unlucky rng maybe, and ya i should have passed when i had MaA turn so he could have healed himself, and i i should have blinded the boss with combat items to help rng. i will try again with new team. just was amazed at how fast MaA went down:/ he was beefed up lol:P oh just read blind dont work dammit, oh well will keep trying and pray for better rng:)

[LAURELINAD]

Yes I just checked, even you give him blind, he's able to hit you anyhow, I forgot that. But still possible to debuff him since he has only 30 debuff resist. You can debuff his attacks with various trinkets and quirks.
BTW the easiest way to get all seeds on MAA is keep using "Toe to Toe" skill on little eyes with Hellion and shielding her with MAA.

The boss is damn hard, and at the moment I feel like you need certain chars and luck to beat it. Heres how I did it.

1) Plague Doc, Jester, Graverobber, Man at Arms.
2) perfect run, great trinkets, flame 100, everyone full hp when I got there.
3) Debuff the boss with death spores item, oasis stress water on jester, invis powder on gravegirl, death door resist vile on man at arms (who had 99 hp by the way from cultist trinkets)
4) encor man at arms with mega speed jester because I buffed everyones speed in in. Use defend on plague doc. Now two eyes mark man at arms, one on gravegirl, one on jester. Kill the eye that marked jester, move grave robber to his stop, take second mark on her while managing stress. Get hit for 20 HP before a hit by stupid eyes before phase 2...
5) Slap upgraded standfast on man at arms right before phase 2 so you got 2 more or so block+ when it comes out, pop upgraded absent on gravegirl before it comes out so you got 2 dodge+ on her by phase 2.
6) Damage race the boss till man at arms dies and then prolong graverobbers life with invis powder into that upgraded skill that gives her taunt and 2 dodge+ when going out of invis, that way you can stack it in single turn.
7) Still saw her die and if I did not stack one hundred trillion dot on the boss, he would have killed rest of my team within next 2 turns I bet.
8)Good Luck.
