Shadow Hound at Monolith of Thirst - anyone tried it again after update?

[j.bonaiuto]

I fought the Shadow Hound today for the first time.
I watched videos so was hoping to have a challenge but not a blood bath (of me!)
But, the fight did NOT go as I had seen at all.
My weapon was the level 5 KVD Icebreaker, and tried to use the level 5 M700 Sniper rifle.
1600 rounds at 7## damage, and 95 rounds at 14## damage on the sniper.
I got him to about 1/4 health, but at the third death it would not let me revive again.
It brought me back to the start of the dungeon, and the Hound was at full health.
My armor was at 50% and my ammo was almost depleted so I just left.
But that did not play out like I had seen others play it.

Has anyone else, tried the fight again today, who has NOT changed weapons or armor since the last time they fought him?

I was farming him a day ago on pro difficulty and helped someone today. Still fairly easy to solo with decent build

I can't get past him. I saw the videos, but I can't get through him. What really bums me out is that I love this game, but I can't even completely explore the higher level towns because I cannot take out that darn dog!

they seem to have buffed the Odogaron,my Shrapnel friend noticed he was dealing less damage (yes, he is those types of shrapnel users)

What a bullet sponge, not like the previous monoliths. Seems like you need a whole endgame setup to solo him.

Glad I am not the only one stuck on this guy.

Use the teleport doors. Run away to one then when he chases you go through the teleport keep doing that. AT certain times there's is really hard to see weak spots on his front legs, High up on shoulders if you don't get them he is a sponge for a while.
