Inferno mode

[Ascheroth]

...is really seriously difficult. And I'm loving it :D
I'm currently at Gildias, which is the first boss that made me really go 'How the hell am I supposed to beat THAT??"
I mean, you basically barely survive 2 hits (115 damage with best equipment and lvl 32), it's over with the third.
At first I thought that's impossible, but seems I was wrong. Haven't beaten him yet, but I can get him reliably under 1000, the rest is only a matter of time :)
I love how all (read: most) of the inferno-bosses seem freaking overpoweredly impossible at first but become very possible (still really difficult) after fighting them, trying some things and developing a strategy.

Anyway, my impressions on all the bosses on Inferno I've met so far:
Dularn: Was a joke. Made it on the first try.
Ellefale: Completely wrecked me. Managed her after levelling and upgrading a bit, and notizing that the disks sliced me in the air if I didn't manage my jumps...
Chester: Was rather easy. Probably like Dularn, if you can beat him the 2nd time, the 1st isn't really a problem anymore.
Guilen: Required lots of patience, but he's perfectly doable if you're careful enough
Gyalva: the spikes o.O. Same with Guilen: patience and not trying to hurry is the key. And a bit of luck with the spikes..
Istersiva: completely destroyed me many times. But then I remembered I shouldn't try to rush him after his shield goes down and pay more attention to his bombs. Because they do damage. Lots of damage.
Ligaty: Was a rather easy fight. Key: damage them equally. And I only attacked when they started their music-circle-thingy and only dodged the rest of the time.

So far, Inferno is lots of fun. And freaking difficult. Seriously, sometimes the normal mobs are more dangerous then some bosses...

Though I'm probably going to cry once I reach Death Faleon :/ That bastard was annoying even on normal.
But after defeating Dark Fact on Nightmare I'm confident that I can deal with anything after trying enough times (probably more like really really many times)

What about you guys? Do you like Inferno? Think it's to difficult? Which boss is your worst nightmare?

I've got an Inferno save just before the final two bosses. Still trying to grind my way to a decent level before attempting them.

[Ascheroth]

Awesome :)
And good luck with those 2. Hopefully I manage to get that far sometime^^

[ThreeSon]

Yeah it's actually a several-months-old save file at this point. Getting there took all my energy.

You should get there no problem. The worst boss (by far) up to that point was the rematch with Chester. That was bastard hard, and there's only so much grinding you can do before you need to face him. Good luck.

[Ascheroth]

Thanks.
Actually I killed Gildias just now, so next up is Death Faleon once I get past the mobs. Will probably need all the luck I can get.. :/

Gyalva was a horrible RNG-fest. The rest so far have been about the same as Nightmare.

How hard is Inferno compared to Nightmare?

From my experience, each level has about the same increase in difficulty as the one preceeding it. So the step up from Nightmare to Inferno is about the same as Hard to Nightmare, and Normal to Hard, etc.

It feels about the same to me. Things on Nightmare already killed you in 3-4 hits. On Inferno they're noticeably bigger numbers but it still comes out to 3-4 hits and anything you care about still has the same health.

Boss animations might be a touch faster, but chances are if you're good enough to be taking them on Nightmare then that was never the problem.
