Unkillable Vampire Queen

[Shajirr]

I am at Vampire Queen currently, and she doesn't seem to be able to die, so I am stuck.

Her healthbar visually is at zero long ago,
but her numeric health just keeps resetting to more than 1Sp every time it gets to a low value.

Any way to fix this? Losing this run would suck a lot.....

Just watch the HP go from like 80 Qt to 8 Sp, what nonsense is this?

[Shajirr]

Update - after running like 10 minutes on that stage I finally found out how to stop this.
I turned off all weapons except Death Scythe, and that stopped the boss HP resetting all the time.
This seems like the game engine doesn't work correctly if there are too many projectiles / low fps.

If she's stuck for some reason, and you don't want to lose the run, save/quit works to reset the fight.

Haven't had any issues with her at low health getting stuck personally.

[Shajirr]

Did you have 6 or 7 weapons, all projectile ones, with 1000% attack speed and 15 additional projectiles?

I've had corrupted avatar runs before where my rog level was over 1.5million. Wisdom of the Forgotten, then a shrine of disorder gave my WoF a multiplier of 41x. All other xp cards were maxed at the time, and between the end of the lava stage and the mansion all the stats blew up... as corrupted avatar has unlimited attack speed.

We did talk about that though before.

I don't use too many weapons anymore as the more levels I set to just getting my weapons sorted the less dynamic everything really feels to me. High defense piercing and shredding with gear perks that boost things per level are huge. I balance all that out so it starts at a low or the first level... make some late game gear that opens up without the negative buffs and then party.

This is specifically on the Blood Handed or however its called achievement, so damage of all the weapons is zero now, so it would not made sense to turn them back in the first place other than for knock back, but that's no longer needed.

And this bug is happening again on a loop - again got to Vampire Queen and she is constantly regaining part hp when on very low health and she should be dying, this time with only Death Scythe alone, with 300 proj cap. Will need to lower it even more I guess......
________
Still happens with 200 proj cap
________
Still happens with 100 proj cap
________
Still happens with 50 proj cap, so this doesn't help.......

Still there...

Yeah done that 2 times, this did absolutely nothing.

Seems like with the current corruption level she is fast enough to instantly fire one of the bul1shit life restore beams directly on the character instantly as soon as she gets to very low health, and just being touched with it once is enough to make her unkillable due to how much HP is restored each time this happens.

Death Scythe damage seems to lower the lower the HP enemy has left, and with this boss its just enough that she can 100% of the time recover more HP than she loses.

okay, this suggestion is what it is... but trying things cause the goal is to help as possible... on a loop even with decent defense piercing/shredding some of the bosses have been sticking a bit like you said.

I've got the passive perk that gives a bit of xp every second going, so even when I'm not doing damage I'm getting xp.

I've got my level up set to manual.

When I've experienced that sort of issue, even at the desert worms on an earlier loop, I've saved up a few levels through manual, then when it gets to sticking I do a few levels up, move around a bit, get some distance and circle around... and then the boss dies pretty quick after. I haven't had the issue outside of a loop, but it might also work with blood handed?

with the vamp queen I really got all the talent charge perks and then going into the third health bar part, pretty much lived in anachronistic. That's the main way I survived that one and was able to dodge all the beams.

I have infinite XP already.
And everything levelled to max except some tainted cards that now do nothing useful.

get some distance

Impossible, at current corruption the boss is fast enough to always teleport to you. Even when she's not instant, the healing beam gets you, restoring boss HP.
I found trying to get away from the boss at max possible dash speed, in any way, to not contributing to damage whatsoever, most of the time boss will gain HP instead.

I do try to use anachronistic as much as possible, but the boss is always fast enough to cast the heal beam so far.

and then the boss dies pretty quick after.

As soon as she gets to very low HP she casts many healing beams, which seem to be unavoidable, and getting touched even once heals enough to undo like 20+ seconds of damage.

When I've experienced that sort of issue, even at the desert worms

Then its a completely different issue, since my problem is with this boss only, and specifically because of infinite healing, which other bosses don't have.

[S'bass thulu]

It was a frustrating challenge for me too.

[S'bass thulu]

I beat her using rogue... which has a attack speed cap of 2000%. Corruption was super high, but not seeing an exact corruption number in my game history rn.

Seed number is: 410882880

Does that do anything? curious to know if sharing seeds between players who don't have that record is a thing.

This boss has poor design in my opinion, it took me a while to beat her but live in anachronistic and press SPACE to quickly get away from the beams.

[firstsunday2]

I did end up just murdering her with the flamethrower with my gunslinger, flamethrower has highest dps. My corruption was something ridiculously high. You can try him.

I dunno, I beat this boss first try before the nerf. She's super easy now.
