tips on easily killing kill pillars?

[GONDAL]

this boss has really been on my nerves lately and i'd like some help beating it because i get whooped every time

[ddreamer9159]

if you blank their super circle attackthey use in the beggining it stops the attack short. also explosions are also really good for damaging more than one pillar at the same time

Yeah, I actually haven't killed the...Kill Pillars and yet I've killed the Dragun already.

Goes Wallmonger<Mine Flayer<Kill Pillars for me (easiest to hardest).

During the circle attack, don't worry about going over the straight lines. Just rotate with them and dodge roll over the circle while staying between the same lines. During the other attacks, either zone out your focus to try to weave between their shots or focus a little closer to draw mental lines to trace out trajectories and find safe spots. On the last one, just run in one direction until you have to dodge the ring then dodge through it and run the other direction until you have to dodge again then just repeat that until it's done.

IMHO they're the hardest floor 4 boss to kill early on but probably have become the most likely to perfect for me with experience. Piercing or exploding weapons are wonderful if you happen to have them. The commando, any snipers, and the anvillain all help tear them apart.

Oh right, High Priest. >_>

literally any weapon that makes explosions, not only do they deal quadrouple damage when ythey're clumped together as it hits all of them but if you hit them at the right time as they're starting the circle attack with the cursed bullets you can remove most (if not all) of the bullets from that attack, therefore making them sitting ducks while they finish the attack.

the ice cube gun in particular is REALLY good, also if you can't get an explosive weapon peirce works well too as it will hit multiple, the skull splitter or similar weapons like the vertibraeK-47 in particular are good against them as they have a pretty good chance of hitting multiple even when they're stomping around the room.

Any area weapon makes them cry, other than that stick to the walls and run as fast as you possibly can from them except, obviously, when they do the sweep attack. The enraged pillar is as simple as rolling into the ring of bullets and shooting away a little every time.

As others have said, the circle attack is simple, just follow the lines and dodge over the growing circle when it passes by.

When they are in a group moving around the room and shooting, try and get as far away as possible and it's not too hard to just walk between their bullets most of the time.

When they line up to the left and move as a wall towards you, well I usually end up blanking at the end because it becomes too hard to react to their shots.

When you're down to one, just dodge out of the way of the ground pound and then dodge right back into the circle of bullets that come out.

You can take out up to 3 at once, but the final pillar will heal up some, so don't bother trying to kill all 4 at once.

Use any weapon that pierces - Rail Gun, Dueling Laser, Serious Cannon, etc. Explosions work as well, but not as effectively since it'll usually only hit the front two.

To avoid the giant circle phase, simply stay below the boss and dodge up-left when the circle grows out. By dodging up-left you avoid the circle (which goes down) and the arm (which rotates right).
