Maluca is unbalanced

[acrosouls233]

This boss needs a nerf. I can 100% say that with certainty.

The devs are new to this so I guess it really shows. This boss is unbalanced. When you have a boss in the second phase that can put a status effect that can stop you from healing and he is LIGHTNING fast attacks that can kill you in one hit. You don't make him TANKY.

And I always have to say this cause people are simple. You can beat him, no one is saying you can't. That still doesn't mean he isn't unbalanced.

Btw I said this with a few bosses in lies of P and guess what....they got nerfed.

Edit: adding this. I switched to easy and he is still insane. Once again reiterating that he is unbalanced and the difficulty settings need an update.

Second edit: they just NERFED HIM AND VIPER ON patch not for 27th of March. And I take my bow 🫡

Not a bad fight. The worst part about it is shes too small. Your character obstructs her a lot, particularly if you're wearing big armor + show helmet.

I didn´t like her to how defensive she was, but i overcame it my way in the end with a mix of baiting out attacks and attacking afterwards, but wasn´t a fun fight overall for me

Playing aggressive vs her is the way to go. You'd be surprised how much of her attacks are punishable. It's just that she blocks in neutral, creating the illusion of having impenetrable defense.

I agree there, for the first few i was entirely passive to see what she did, but noticed as you said she blocks more or less everything, so had to be more aggresive towards her as a boss

A terrible fight. She will block basically everything (While rapidly regenerating stamina) you throw at her until you get one of a few openings to attack her that she doesn't use to charge her shield, which she'll just do herself. Maluca was at least a high octane fight that had me trading blows with the weeb in a way that was actually fun. Elamein was me waiting 15 seconds or more for her to do something so I could sneak in maybe a hit, half a combo at best before it went back to waiting.

Try her again and you'll see she's not that bad.

You're pathetic man. Beat him third try before nerfs, not that hard at all. Your reaction time needs a buff.

I already beat and moved past the giant tiger man. She just wasn't as enjoyable, so having to fight the highly mobile giant monster man instead was a breath of fresh air. Luckily she drops nothing I'd want anyway so I'm not going back to that until NG+

I was just saying, she's not as defensive as you think and you can really push your offense more than what you probably did the first time you tried.

It seems like the softcaps for stats might be really high too so at least we can grind out a couple hundred more stamina and health and damage lol. Also upgrade all your weapons and gear by juicing them.

How do you do that?

There's an alchemist that'll show up at some point. You have to do a side quest for her to get her "Kaleido". After you do that, you'll be able to upgrade your gear's level at her place down where the blacksmith is (in the death realm however). It's best to do this if you have a set you've crafted and want to keep relevant.

Idk about other weapons but charged greatsword dont care about her guarding. Just gotta be careful when the shield is glowing and be prepared to trade.

I should be able to one shot him.

what are you saying? she is by far the most defensive boss up to that point. that doesn't mean you can't attack her at all, you just have less windows to attack than most other bosses. this is not really a complaint btw, i think she is tuned fine but to say she's not a very defensive focused boss is a baffling thing to say

there are ways to increase her attack frequency sure, but she has a sturdy shield that can nullify a lot of attacks, bosses generally don't have that feature do they?

I bet if you spent half the time this guy did into practicing the boss you'd find him to be fairly easy to manage.

Lol you show a video of a guy who has 7 heals and almost all the stats needed max to beat this boss. Do you have a video of a lvl 61 with 4 heals?
