Conclave boss making me want to stop playing the game

[Boondock]

I have spent 3 hours on this boss even with difficulty on zero. As if it isnt a pain enough, why do the damn vines need to be pushing my characters turns back? Every time Selene is hit by one, her ATB bar resets. Or at least have the zombies stop after a certain amount. Or something. Anything. Its not fun at all.

I have just found a post on here with a video of someone doing it ages ago, so I am about to check that out, but I really wanted to say here that it shouldnt have to come to that point.

Hello, i would like to make it easier but i need to have more info, the core mechanic is using Daryon to tank the corroded and use the duo Myrna / Selen to break the tentacles as soon as possible to prevent the slam (and move to avoid the attacks) then kill the boss, if you feel like some mechanics are very hard to avoid / too complicated please tell me which of them, thanks.

I literally did everything you just wrote. Am I too underleveled? I am 23. The biggest isue is that selenes turn kjeeps getting interrupted by tentacles. To the point where she gets one spawning under her, but I can never move her, as every time its about to be her turn, she is attacked by a tentacle and turn cancellled.

There are just too many things going on in this fight. You have aoe from the boss in front if it, tentacle spawn dmg, dmg from tentacle attack, party members being moved, and the zombies. Thats already a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to deal with but then you gotta make the zombies endless and the tentacles attack cause ATB reset.....its just.....too much.

You really need to remove some. IMO its a complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I appreciate what you were going for but the phrase "sometimes less is more" would be really appropriate to use here. As of now I still havce not gone back to the game to play because I dont want to deal with this section of the game. And it angered me enough to not only stop playing but write this much of a detailed message about it....so I hope you take it seriously as I see MANY other comments about this fight similair to my own

ps thanks for taking the time to read, and ty for the game, despite my complaint here i really do enjoy it and hope i can get back to it at some point

I think i will slowdown the ATB of tentacles and reduce all incoming damages on the fight, for the mechanics i won't remove any mechanics because it's part of the boss design of the game bosses tend to become more and more mechanically complex but i think the issue is more the damage output than the mechanics.

I've nerfed it for next patch

It took me two or three tries to beat it on normal difficulty. The issue isnt the boss difficulty in my opinion but that once you enter down that part of the story you cant go back. I think games that have those functions in the story should have a warning such as "If you enter, you cant go back until later in the story."

What I had to do to beat it was play smart, use the skills and items I had on my inventory to assist. Positioning was important. Using the main character to keep the attackers from behind busy while using the other characters to attack the boss. At some moments, I had to switch away from the boss to help control the minor enemies.

If a player hurries through the story before entering this area, I can see how they could get stuck. That is why I think a warning before entering this part is better than nerfing the boss. Too easy and its boring.

We plan indeed to add a warning, we are just overwhelmed with the quantity of work on everything but it's planned to add it, anyway we nerfed a lot bosses from Chapter III for next patch to make sure that the difficulty curve progress accross chapters instead of having a sudden peak at Chapter III.

I unfortunatly had a bug, where Myrne disappeared in this Part. And had to fight against conclave only with Daryan and selene.
This was extremely hard, and impossiboe to get all three bonus task Point. it is the second time myrne is dissapearing and nowhere to find.

Even restarting does not fix this. i had to start the game new on new save.

This made this bossfight for me nearly impossible. Just got it, becouse i changed the dificulty factor on 0,00. But myrne is still missing again. :(
