Why I can't kill Dark Esaù anymore?

[mat.ber]

When I try to kill Dark Esaù with Tainted Jacob, he doesn't receive any damage and tears passes through him. Could anyone tell me what this is due to??
Is it changed anything in the game?
Thank you in advance!

Maybe you had a mod that allowed that but in the base game you can't damage or kill Dark Esau.

It's strange because originally I could kill him, without any mod..

I think it was killable at first but they changed that with a patch last year or something. It can't be killed now.

It was changed in an update. Most players like that better because he got killed to easily so they had to play in lost form a lot.

Oh I see, I didn't know that. It has sense! I try to manage him for all the run then :D

Exactly this, if you can manage to dodge Esau, you won't be forced to play the Lost anymore because Esau touched some red poop, which was really frustrating.

On top of that, instead of dashing in the 8 cardinal directions, Esau now will always dash directly towards your location, so you can dodge him more consistently
I think he's really fun now with the changes, good luck on your runs with him!

Pre-patch T. Jacob was just an absolute torture

Dark Esau was made immortal in patch 1.7.5 - he had 250hp previously and died pretty often
