Frozen Prince, Ice World event.

[Osogitz]

I have gone to every location in the game available to you in the first act. This Ice world is the *last* place i need to clear up.

When you spawn in, there are a bunch of guys, but one in particular is a Hellbrute. How am i suppose to tackle this monstrosity? It has over 1000 health.

edit:
Shortly after i made this post, I completed the encounter. SO it was a bit of a fire and forget post. I had made about seven attempts before posting.

On my last (and successful) attempt, i blitzed my team up the west side of the map, killed the marines and waited for traitor guard to kill the Hellbrute for me. It couldnt find a path to gain line of sight to my remaining crewmates and so it kinda just sat there getting shot.

The encounter is coded so that, so long as the hellbrute is alive, the guardsmen are to target and keep ramping up the hellbrute's buff.

Thanks to everyone who contributed constructively to the post!

i dont know if it was a bug, but the cultist shoot the hellbrute at the begining of the combat.
also sniper and ulfar bolter was a good idea

every hit the hellbrute takes, gives it a stacking buff. so 1 to 0 damage from cultists shooting at it makes it very strong!

Personal note: devs, the difficulty of that fight is high, the loot should mirror that... it did not! no special items from what i found, mostly just cargo of misc, provisions, some weapons and ship parts, and mabye 3 stacks of holy items. about 2k rep of items, possibly 2.5k. cultists were the only ones to dorp loot and it was basic armor/guns for selling.

Hellbrute over 1k hp, 3 chaos space marines with 500hp who melee and kick you prone!. and about 10 cultists who shoot and buff the hellbrute that can 1 shot some of your team by turn 3 with autocannon type weapon!

This seems to be a buggy area. No story just a random encounter with a hell monster.

Purge them with faith and fire

I'm pretty sure it's an Act 4 encounter that you can get to in Act 2. You don't have to fight it, I'd consider it an "optional side boss" at that point.

What ice world? What system?

Yes, stumbled upon on this by accident - managed to do it after the fifth attempt (on daring difficulty). It really, really, really made me sort out my buffs and debuffs. Managed to take out the 3 Marines individually while hiding behind the tank, then hid everyone except my sniper, got him to make himself the low priority target every turn, then take out the Hellbrute. Those frontline and rear strategem area thingies proved really helpful. Oh, and a lot of luck.

found this place today. I was playing on hard, level 31, act 2, and was thinking of raising to unfairly but in this fight, I already died 3 times trying already. Everyone just one shot my guys, I probably have to decrease the difficulty after a few more tries. it's fun until you get one shot with no revival system!!!!!

I was level 25-26 Unfair, again, me, Cassia, Argenta cleanse house easily.

He so big you can't miss.

You can always just go back and return there later, I think.

Personally, I had Pasqal and Idira stack a ton of exploits on it, and then nuked it with Idira's psychic shriek. No amount of armor and deflection could save it from having its brain melt inside its head when I triggered like 50+ stacks of exploits in one attack

Took me a few tries but it worked eventually.

Bolters and Heavy bolters and clean then all. The Hellbrute went down for Argenta improved heavy bolter in one go.

An hard encounter on Act2, one blast of hellbrute can OS a character.
The best way is to move on side to have the walls protection on fight beginning.
The Hekaton rifle was very useful to wipe the brute and the marines

[chaoticevilrussian]

Not sure if it's intentional or not, but HellBrute seems to priititice going after the last ones to attack him if your party is far enough. So dealing with marines first and then shelling the big guy with everithing you got makes figth rather trivial even on unfair.

Killed and found about it during act 4 and not act 2. The Hellbrute was a breaze.
