Lumberjack Boss fight bug

[♥♥♥♥ of Monte Cristo]

Is anyone having the issue where the Lumberjack boss fight keeps healing. He healed 6 times in one attempt. I thought that maybe he only does that if I create some distance from him so I basically hugged him for my next few attempts. Despite that, after all the parrying, whenever he gets to around 25% hp he heals to full health anyway. I don't know what to do.

Are you talking about the boss blocking path to Falesia Magna when you clear first Act (Quinta and Monastery)? If yes, I do not recall him ever healing on either NG or NG1.

I suggest you quit the game and load back in. Enemy AI, especially on bosses, can be very wonky and get stuck in same pattern. Quitting and loading back might reset the boss AI and hopefully you get different outcome.

I was just recently fighting, and defeated after quite a few attempts, Veltha on NG1. The fight was absolutely stupid once she enters her phase 2. She heals, which is least of her problems, but she starts spamming spells like crazy. She completely covered whole arena with her pillar of light attacks, the AI got stuck or whatever, and she continuously cast the pillar spell over and over and over. I run out of space to dodge it and had to run through the pillars to other side but she continued to cast it. Another attempt she was chasing me for good 2 minutes with her multi-attack combos cast back to back to back.

it's pretty annoying that he heals so many times and I wonder that the devs likes this, it's horrible, a lot of bosses in this game heals many times what is not fun, don't understand why they put that into a game. Anyway for this boss, don't give him the chance to heal, use heavy weapon and smash him all the time.
