After multiple Agony runs, the Boss of the Haunted Caverns is still the worst by far.

Even normally this boss is waaaay to overtuned. I think my time beating him was a 10 minute fight by itself. It honestly made me hate the game, and dread whatever ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ boss came next.

But that didn't happen. Every subsequent boss is ez, even on agony. But that 1st one just feels like a ♥♥♥♥ you.

If you weren't aware there is an event you can do in Haunted Caverns. Follow the blood paths to bone piles then kill things inside them. Once you complete both you get an item that deals 50% of the last bosses HP.

well you feel how you feel, as they say.

i feel he and the boss from the latest map we got are the only fun once
1st still my fav

he actually teaches players things(if they pay attention)

and its not like the first boss even without the event on agony cant die in seconds
with alot of builds

[Ulyaoth]

I agree with @towly 100%.

1st boss may have tons of HP but this is what makes him an actually boss.
If you dont melt him in seconds, his speed can teach you some great things about movement in this game.
Especially since he has two phases with two different patterns.

The 5th Boss has less hp, but some very nasty combinations of moves, that are hard to avoid.
BUT, the HP difference is that much, that still to this day the only Lord that feels like a Lord after so long time is till the first.


I dont know how far your progression is and even it is possible, Lords arent meant to beat in early game, which became alot easier these days.
And the "special event" on Haunted Caverns makes him very easy, almost trivial.

[timmyofman]

I've completed all stages on agony with multiple characters. Except for the first. That boss is nightmare compared to every other boss. Everything after him requires next to no effort.

[towly]

ya we know, only i wished every other boss would require me to take them as serious as boss number1 sadly that is not the case

which *hopefully* gets fixed, fingers crossed

i mean as an example boss Nr.2, aka Bubbles (thats what i call him)
he spawns, he spawns his bubbles, he dies a 3 step process that takes seconds
not exactly the menacing roadblock one would like at the end of a hall

During an agony run I managed to get the Lord in Chambers of Dissonance stuck, that even seemed to disrupt some of the attack patterns. The hall itself lends to a strategy of using the walls and obstacles to slow and minimize being surrounded by enemies.

Agree, the bosses are trivial.

To OP, there is the special blood trail event to help you kill the Haunter Caverns lord when your progression is still low. It makes him a LOT easier.

Can't you almost one shot him with debuff stacking + event? This can't be a serious complaint right?

"One-shot" is definitely not the term you are looking for. Nothing deals that much damage.

Anyway, the point is that boss 1 is comparatively much harder than every other boss. Boss 1 has twice the HP pool of all the others because you are meant to do the map 1 event. Even with the event, usually newer players will still take longer to beat this boss and given the mechanics it can be frustrating to deal with. Yes you can still kill any boss in less than 1s, but that isn't what they're talking about.

[Rednose]

It is quite simple: if you want to kill boss at your run then take Radient Aura and buff its dmg, if not then just sudoku into the boss to end run faster

[Nelartux]

Yup, the item that deals damage to the boss also uses the fragility stacks. If you manage to throw enough to double the damage taken by the boss in the few seconds for the item to strike, you can just OS both phases.

10 min for a Boss, did u ever read some of the perks ?

[Pondering]

I killed him with the sage in a couple of minutes. Focused on summoning abilities.
