easy mode final boss...doesn't feel easy?

[moonbeam81 (da chara)]

could just be a skill issue on my part but. i play on easy mode to enjoy the story and stuff. and everything was going good. even the big guys are pretty simple to take down once you know what to do....but then i had to spam healing during the final boss because this mf gets all up in my face. sends out so many projectiles i can barely react or dodge. and i died because he pushed me against the wall and proceeded to ♥♥♥♥♥ smack me. am i just bad or?

Okay this could very well be a major oversight on our part, the last patch balanced more to do with Normal difficulty, which does reduce some health on Easy mode as well, but we need to put more time into balancing on easy mode for the final boss. Really sorry for this issue, this will 100% be patch in the next update. Any feedback on which parts of the boss should be addressed first? Total health, speed green ball attacks, ease of phase 1/2/3 etc? Thanks, Blake -VitruviusVR

Okay good to know, I'm going to prioritize balancing this fight for the next update. Thanks for posting and letting us know!

You can switch to auto-heal in the options to make the game even easier. I did NOT do this and I beat the final boss on my 2nd try after switching to ranged on normal difficulty (I did heal frequently though as it is a long fight and splash damage is probably inevitable). I found the last boss rather easy. I think it's more about having the right ranged weapon more than anything else.

Auto-heal doesn't work proberly in the boss fight for me. You will die soon. Also the 'quick syringe' is not available and there is no time to go in the inventory and select the syringe. Until now I also was not able to beat the boss. Now I will try it without auto-heal.

Another tip is to constantly shoot the boss in phase 1, even if you are not hitting the orange health pockets. The boss still does take damage and will get downed more often in the fight if you continually shoot him. We are still going to balance this better though. Thanks, Blake

Regarding having the right ranged weapon, it's a shame that the ultimate submachine gun mod replaces the laser sight with an inferior holographic sight...
