Volbaino Boss fight bug?

[A.X.]

I already beat him but I think there is a bug, and it's annoying AF. In his second phase he does the fire AOE which lights up the entire platform, and you are suppose to climb to ladder or jump down, move to the platform that's not on fire.

What happened to me in one of almost perfect try was he burned the bottom platform, and I climbed to the top then prepare to fight there, immediately he did that fire AOE again and light up the top platform as well, so both platform were on fire.

As this point the only thing I could do was die :) And I believe this is a bug. If not for this I would have had him in that try cuz I still have 3 heals left and he was down to 1/3. Devs need to fix this, super frustrating.

This happens to me as well. Are you trying to cheese him using the ladder when he initially goes up there to do the WWE jump move?

If you go up there when he goes up, he will jump back down and you can go back up and wait for him to climb up so you can get some hits in and repeat the process until he starts setting both areas on fire.

Maybe it's on purpose so we don't use this approach?

Are you sure the second one actually lit the entire floor on fire? In my experience his subsequent uses of the ability were only in a smaller area so you only had to avoid a part of the floor.

It is an AOE effect but I've had him do it twice on the upper floor where you have limited area to maneuver. And you can't drop down yet because the bottom is still on fire (non AOE effect, it's the one where the whole floor is on fire).

Yes, I 100% recommend you climb the ladder when he first goes up. Make him come up there on the 2nd floor until he lights it on fire, then move back down the lower floor where you have more room for the rest of the fight.

I have never seen this happen. he can do like a mini version that lights a bit of the floor on fire not the whole floor. ive never seen him do the big version twice. sorry that happened to you

nope I was fighting him normally. Wait for the jump attack at the bottom. I only switch platform if he does the big AOE

Yea I am aware he has the small AOE and the big AOE, I’ve only seen this happens once where both platform are completely on fire tho in all the times I fight him (I also farmed him like 10 times afterwards for the set)
