Worst boss in the entire game

[Snobby Hobo]

So far by miles the worst boss I've fought: Xyclucian the Chimera.

Playing as warrior. This is the equivalent of the Elden Beast on steroids. Boss constantly runs away, can't ever hit him with melee weapons. 50% chance that in the literal 3 seconds per 15 seconds of nonsense he does you get to strike him it's an AoE freeze that forces you to run away.

I literally just sat in front of my screen re-enacting the Travolta meme looking at this boss. Who designed this garbage? 10 minutes of 10 seconds being able to play the game, while the remainder is him dancing around on some geometry I can't hit him or scooting around in the air.

You can attack the pillar that he flies up onto and destroy it to knock him down and immobilize him for a pretty long time. That's where the biggest opportunities for me to pile damage onto him came from, and he does it pretty often. I haven't gotten back to him in Cruel yet, but I don't remember him taking all that long for me to get down when I went through Act 3 the first time.

This is the way, wait for pillar landing, then strike it down. When there are no pillars left he is on ground a lot more as well.

for me as range super easy boss not on my worst Top 5 List. But i can see why Melee could have problems.

It didn't take me that long either, but it was just incredibly annoying. Similar to the Elden Beast just running away non stop.

The pillar can be knocked down? I tried that initially but the thing gives 0 feedback, so I figured that wasn't intended.

If you destroy the pillar quickly (it has a health bar and can be targeted only when the chimera is ontop of it) it'll feel like no feedback because of the animation taking forever to start

You can when he's on it only. I can only agree that it's not clear.

Seriously? The boss that lies in stun for half an hour after you knock it down from pillar? This is that you struggle with?

Idk why everyone reads this as "having trouble" or "struggling with". Literally never did I mention either of those words.

I found the boss to be incredibly unfun to fight. I beat the Elden Beast in the first time I encountered it too, and still I left the fight with a feeling of "wow... really?". This boss was the same; it took long for me to take down and it was just pure frustration.

Apparently it's actually a puzzle boss with the pillars, but the game isn't very clear about that.

The need to start whole post about this boss being bad signals that you struggled with it. And your post itself says so too

DOnt ignore the humblebrag of "I beat the last boss in elden ring the first time blind too". OP is one of **those** people who are never happy with what theyre given.
