Breach lord
I am running a cyclone berserker build, lvl 87, 6k hp, 52k dps, ress capped, lately I managed to 6 link Marohi Erqui and using Daresso's Defiance for endurance charges.

So I opened this Uul or Tul or w/e his name is, the one that summons pillars that shoot ice shards, map cleared the way up to the arena portal without any issues, entered, fought him for a few seconds and took him around 5% hp then switched to his pillar or totem or w/e and it froze me, I unfroze myself with a flask and the boss killed me with his lightning balls or w/e is he shooting.
When I entered again he summoned second pillar, got frozen twice as those pillars have quite too much hp I didn't manage to kill them with 52k dps and died.
Third time I realized I am going to die on instant right after the invulnerability perished from me. I was right.
Fourth time I just went in and rushed straight for the boss, managed to survive for 5 or 7 seconds and died.
After this I just went in and wasted all my remainig portals without hope of defeating this boss.

I read that there is just one exact build for which this breach league was disegned for, so they could nerf it. I also read and saw a few videos of people killing him with Blight and one other skill which name I forgot, without any problems.

Please, what am I doing wrong?

Positioning. You're doing positioning wrong.

Getting in the way of the pillars is a bad idea in the fight. You need to move out of their firing lines. And you may need to stay away from the portals that spawn enemies when you get close. And you want to re-position yourself when he does his breath attack. It might be a good idea to fight him on the edges, as it's more unlikely that those can be targeted by the pillars (as those seem to shoot between themselves, and it would take two to form a line there).

If you follow those positioning rules, you really just take his weird melee sort-of-projectile attacks damage, which you can leech through, pot through etc.

So ignore those pillars completely? And those enemies spawning from portals are dying on instant + it refreshes my potions.

If they don't pose a problem to you, ok... keep them - just keep in mind that they can do quite some damage.

Well, unless they overwhelm you, but it'd probably be better to have them die as side-effects of aoe or something, as they take too long to kill directly imho.

So much for your they die on instant, they are the reason you died at 4:13. Second death was the breath and not taking cover behind him. Third death was even moving into his breath cone. And then a disconnect and I only see a black screen after that.

That being said, cyclone is probably a hard skill to manage at that fight^^

Yeah I didn't even notice those add at first too much effects. But that boss has way too much hp.

As much as I want to say that you probably made some mistakes in dodging, I also will admit that Tul is one of the hardest ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bosses I've ever fought in this game. Seriously, his damage and CC output is digusting. I don't blame you at all honestly.

Not only is Tul absurdly tanky, but he can both Freeze and Stun you regularly. He is one of the hardest bosses I've ever seen in the game. I was able to kill Uul-Netol easily without dying, and Uul-Netol is 5 levels higher than Tul. Even with a Thawing flask, he can just stun you with a single hit and then obliterate you with his AOE and totems. I'm kind of surprised no one else in the game is talking about how strong Tul is as a boss fight, especially since he's supposed to be one of the 3 easier Breach lords.

Running a sapphire flask specifically for the boss would help, as well as two health flasks. Not sure why you're using overflowing chalice since a normal sulphur flask with a status immunity rolled on it would be better for you.

If you want I can kill the boss for you, Tul is really easy for me

Even when I used the Cold flask with unfreezing, Tul was able to stunlock and then instagib me. What's your secret?

I used two freeze immune flasks (one on quicksilver and another on sapphire) when I did him at 74 and ran behind him when he did his bullet hell move. Now that I have better gear and way more levels I just face tank him and kill him before flasks even run out.

If your damage is low you can always use a vaal lightning trap on him when he does his bullet hell move since he doesn't move at all, just make sure you run behind him first.

I guess I'll try that. Thanks.

"Content Update 2.5.1 also contains the following patch notes:
Tul no longer takes reduced damage while doing her Projectile Barrage skill.
The Crystal Ice Spires in the Tul encounter now have less life.
The snowstorm skill used by the Tul Breach monsters now provides less damage avoidance to the monsters inside of it.
Frost Blades used by the Tul monsters now does less damage at higher levels."

Just saw them post this. I knew it wasn't just me. Tul fight was broken.

HAHA

52k dps AS A BERSERKER that's your problem. Absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bottom of barrel dps. Maybe try 2 million, the boss would die instantly instead of you.
