Lephantis bug and other bosses

[ZoreaK]

In the Steam version of the game, many bosses are immortal.
I tried to kill Lephantis and Vay Hek to complete nightmare quests and it was frustrating.
Sometimes you can deal damage to them, but they have an invulnerable effect, so it's very confusing. right after that i talk to people for help and apparently only for those who play on steam are immortal

I hear there is a bug that stops some bosses from taking damage unless it's from AOE damage but I thought it was fixed already. 🤷

Nope. Bug is still in game. With how DE handles things, it might be gone by the end of the month if we are lucky. Then again, they do take ages to deal with issues like that.

Fixing bugs is costly and timely. DE small dev team patience.

The bosses you listed are one of the more poorly designed ones as they can only be damaged if you hit their weak spots. Vay Hek and Lephantis are not always vulnerable and even when they are it can be hard to hit them in time.

Vay Hek (last time I checked) has a head in it's front that pops out every once in a while which is what you shoot to deal damage to it. It has a sort-of red-ish/orange-ish glow on the head when it's vulnerable.

Lephantis has 3 different weak points, one for each side of them. You learn the weak points while fighting them in phase 1. I can't remember which is which, but mainly when they attack there's a pink-ish area on their body that opens up and that is it's weak point. But for some reason there's this weird damage mitigation on them and it can be hard to do any decent damage anyways.

Obviously I know, but now due to a bug Lephantis, Vay Hek and other bosses can't take damage.

I already have the damage to oneshot them, I already did it many times but now I can't do any damage literally 0 damage with those weapons or better ones

And I repeat, this is only in the Steam version.

Gotcha, I haven't done those battles in a long time so I was unaware there was a new bug. I guess just submit a bug report for now.

Bosses with specific weakpoints only take damage from AoE sources at the moment; Single target weapons do nothing and it's not just the 'steam version' having this problem. They acknowledge the issue across all platform update notes.

That explains why i didnt do damage on Lephantis. I was thinking i forgot what the weak spots are but no it wasnt my fault. No Lephantis farming for me then. <.<

If you have access to weapons that do AOE damage, then you can still farm them. Ignis is an alright choice if you got one leveled up and slap an ammo mod on it.
