Archon Boreal

[dropbear]

has to be one of the worst bosses DE has ever made, were gonna make you shoot at it right and then let it heal itself 20 times for the whole fight

Did you do that multiplayer or solo? If you can't solo an Archon by yourself, you should probably continue to get stronger and work on your builds. Archon shards are end game content. Get comfortable with Steel Path first, and try more stronger weapons and builds. I do believe that the game lets you fight Archons too fast, when most players can't comfortably damage them appropriately yet.

You can stop it from healing by going closer and dealing damage. I'm pretty sure that there's even some dialog that tells you to not let it heal when it activates that ability.

Use terrain or invisibility. I used trees and rocks to block the pushing effect. Boreal was the easiest fight imo but I felt like an idiot when I checked on Youtube after the fight how others did it and everybody used invisibility.

Yeah, I can understand that; DE has never seemed to be able to make fun and engaging boss fights for Warframe so far. Perhaps its a failing in general. The players here though are a fountain of great advice for a least making it easier to complete.

Bro, because you have to pay attention to what is said. Space mom says something about how his thing has a "secret" and the "secret" is that the healing phase is all smoke and mirrors. It looks scary because MEGABOSS DOING HUGE SCARY BUBBLE but in reality it's just to scare people like you into thinking that he's unreachable.

Out of all the tricks DE has done with the bosses, I actually think the psychological part of it is pretty good. Obviously not as good as Psycho Mantis with the second controller slot thing but it's gotten the best out of a lot of people and that's worth something.

Or you need to read the post. He's doing the quest, not the archon hunt version.

whats the big "secret" and how is this a psychological trick, i was running into him and doing no damage, this has to be the most unhelpful reply yet

The big "secret" is your not allowed to let Boreal see you when his bubble is up, which is literally why you have the smokescreen.

Hence "the healing phase is all smoke and mirrors" is kinda funny. Hunhow even has this dialogue when he is explaining the three to you :
"Worst of all is the paralyzing screech. Terrifying, yet this moment is your only chance to close in, unseen, and strike."
