viper boss fight is kinda a joke

[Charles Vane]

barely beat him by pure luck after 20 tries just to find out there is second phase, what the ♥♥♥♥ am i supposed to do with only 4 healing charges lol, this boss feels like a late game boss, not to mention his obnixous attack timings

[Branded Lost]

You're a bit late talking about a boss that's already been nerfed

[sgrey]

Learn his timings and parry him correctly. Also, reflection can help tremendously in this fight. He is not that bad, very good fight, actually. You are half way there. When you beat phase 1 ten more times, it will become easy for you.

Learn then those timings because...there is an alternate side quest version of him

more than one, I might add.
And every boss after him is way stronger too

He's not that bad. You just have to learn how to use the game mechanics. Once you do he's trivial. Learn proper brink blocking and counter attack and he's easy. What's also nice about the boss, is while he's difficult, him forcing you to learn mechanics makes future bosses way more manageable

If you didn't actually learn the mechanics and still beat him, I have bad news about future bosses that are way more punishing for messing up lol

[khamthien251]

this boss only got basic attack, wait until you meet boss with elemental damage =]]

[Luckyxray]

gotta learn his moveset honestly after a few tries the first phase will be a breeze
also id suggest trying to raise your stats a little because your most likely a little under lvl/gear

"As for the actual adjustments made to Viper, we specifically reduced attack damage, stamina, and HP by approximately 12%. We did not make any changes to its still or AI behavior."

this is not much of a nerf lol.

[ExiledToBronze]

I beat him VERY easily before the nerfs were even made. Skill issue is all i can really say.

It's a SOULSLIKE. You're supposed to struggle.

[MeeseeksDaBooty]

Sounds like you got filtered lil bro.

"what the ♥♥♥♥ am i supposed to do with only 4 healing charges lol"
You're supposed to - all say it with me now - G I T G U D

12% is a decent chunk. Dropping him to 88% across the board is almost insulting.

I had a hard time with viper till I learned after him to grind gear and ride on top of the enemy. if you let them breathe you will get owned. the only boss I had a problem with after him was Skalpel.

Don't forget to use parry, cheesiest mechanic in this game.

[FromChaosTheory]

Thats easy. Learn the timing and stio taking loss personal. The only way you learn is it by failing. It's not that serious.
