moose goose flying away right before dying

[The Stricken One]

I had her at almost 500 health after pouring everything I had into the fight because two spawned on my base on the second day of spring, I killed the first, and then the second was near death, I was finishing her off with scrap weapons and tools, and then at about 500-600 health she flew away right in front of me while I was hitting her, I can see the nest from where we were fighting because it's in my base, and then she came back with full 6000 health on her nest 5 feet away from where I'm standing still in my base, originally I just brushed it off and tried again, but this was the third time this battle that she's done this to me, does anyone know if there's a way to disable the flying away feature? maybe a mod or in the options menu? it's not a fun mechanic imo. tbc tho it'd be okay if moose goose didn't regain all her health.
found a video making an example of this at 28:50, watch for moose/goose to fly back a few seconds later, and then it happen AGAIN at 34:30

The reason why Moose gets all her health back is because the game is technically spawning a new Moose in place of the old one.

that makes sense, but that just adds to another question, why have her fly away at all? she never goes so far away that she can't just walk back to her nest like she usually does.
either way though, does this mean that the health recovery isn't an intended feature as much as it is a consequence of how they wrote the code?

She flies away (along with her mooslings if alive) at the end of Spring, but she also generally does so when not aggro and let her mooslings just walk around and devour everything. I guess she flies away just so that a player could kill off all the mooslings first, but no point really since mooslings is where most of the good stuff are.

Technically it could be an unintended feature that she flies away mid-fight and regains health, but so far as the game itself is aware, it is intended since it's an entire new thing.
They could technically fix it by having it store a health variable, but... Well I guess there's no point for the weakest boss in the game, right?

Truthfully I've never seen her fly away mid-boss fight, only glitches where she becomes invincible for a little bit and requiring you to move back and try again at hitting her multiple times.

to be honest the Goosemoose Regain HP back its punishment for Coward Fighter that run away From Fighting area, if that uninteded feature why no Major Complain Since 2016?

GooseMoose its Easy boss to Fight than Deerclops and Bearger, and if there is 2 or 3 and
more people smack her,she will died in under a minute

fair enough, good points, the reason why it's such a big deal to me is that I'm playing solo, but seeing the response from people in this post I guess I'll just stop complaining and git gud.

Well the think is you no need to fight it derectly you can use anything else, that powerfull and not gonna give up till its dead, and Frog its in that line especially in group, you can said some "Bodyguard" or something

the answer of this sentence its, Yes and No
Yes if you use brawn and No if you use Brain

You can use Pig,Merm,Spider,Catapult to fight it but the efficieant Way its Frog rain

I had killed multiple of the children and with that the egg had also been hatched by the time I had moose/goose on 500-600 health at which she flew away. I know indirectly killing the boss is the most efficient way but I shouldn't have to and don't want to depend on rain frogs to kill something that's in my base and is a boss that's intended to fight the player, also frogs don't fix the problem of moose/goose healing herself, as a matter of fact moose/goose did fight with frogs and hounds too and then recovered all their health back.

I offer you Easy WAY to deal with it, but you said it Wont fix it you need to use Brawns to deal With it and ill help you with that

you see, answered you 2 times one with Detailed Behavior for said Mobs, and looks like no one understand with my answer

i am Not Sure but if you look how the Nest Spawn at Single Player and Multiplayer its Diffrent, At Single Player There IS Boss Warning, Character quoted like Deerclops, Bearger and Dragonfly and The Goosemoose Spawn nearby Player BASE with her egg kinda teritorial but its never fly away sometimes it will folow you to your base the egg only hatch when you hammer it sometime its caused more goosemoose to appear

But at DST its Spawn at Fixed Location Usually near a pond, That make you thinking twice to chose base location at Single pond and they spawn more than 1 at Diffrent Location, the Goosemoose only present when the egg not hatch and will flew away when the egg hatched and only come when the Child harmed and Very teritorial Creature with higher Hp than singleplayer Counterpart,

its a buff for Multiplayer Environment i could said

so i make easy to understand answer but end up miscomunication,the Goosemoose fight system intended to that see my answer above, But there is something that i like at Dont Starve there are Many way you can approach problem and not system intended

many way to approach not only one way

I too love the creativity this game enables with combat, but in the case of moose/goose I'm allowed to approach the problem as I want as long as the way I choose to approach the problem is within 5 feet of the nest, which really makes moose/goose my least favorite boss to fight now because of how much potential approaches are taken away.
btw, I fought Deerclops while insane, was ez because I can just run a bit away, kill shadow monster, run back to Deerclops, this can work on pretty much every boss I think except with moose/goose, this doesn't work with her because running away can trigger her instant health regen, which is frustrating, I just need to be sane for the fight I guess.

There you said by yourself at Deerclops and i said it by post above its Work with bearger too but with that Moosegoose mechanic you cant Run away to long because the goose can regain HP back and need to fight it all over again but if you read my post (which you dont) moose goose have fixed spawn location that make it "optional" Seasonal bosses

Unlike single player counter part that spawn close to base whereever are you basing,that why i tell you frog rain in first place you can prepare to kill moosegoose unlike other 2 Bosse that recently spawn at day 1 Winter and Autumn at my world, if you not acted fast it can be result costly unlike this Moosegoose its more like longterm mistake with base location if you see that Moosegoose hard to fight

and dont Foget Raid bos too most of them its teritorial area and will Despawn get Max Hp back if you ran away from them, is just that Raid Boss have Huge teritory area unlike Moosegoose

Well if you dont like it, i cant Force you to like it and game have a button to Disable it, we can agree dissagree at this i hope

I do read your posts, you were right before when you described this as a miscommunication, I understand now what you mean when you refer to it as an optional boss, part of my misunderstanding I think came from the wiki lacking a lot of this info from what I can tell but also and mostly because of where the first one spawned, https://imgur.com/a/6mvuV6k (circle on map is where pond is at, top left is second moose/goose) it seemed not optional and in the normal game it's not optional, so I wasn't understanding what you were talking about at all and so I discounted it, now I understand better and will avoid ponds for base locations. sorry about all this

[Airvanz]

Well i not angry i just wanna clear out this Moosegoose thingy because i see many lack knowledge at it, and like i said post above "Usually at Pond" and forgot too add "usually more at diffrent location" based your Screenshot you got Un-usual area Moosegoose Spawn.

i got 3 Nest Moosegoose at one Spot before where if i killed the Goose the Mosling will Rap me to Death sadly the World its Gone due Mod Crashing it and end up delete it, yep Rip Base because Moose goose

Moose goose will gone at Autumn but will have Chage to Spawn at same area at Spring Where you make base kill her will be mandatory if dont want get anooyed by her or move The base away from her

>boss flies down from the heavens into my base and into my face

i Could said the Boss Mechanic make kill it Optional, But the loot its Mandatory for Summer Survival to me
i Introduce you "Luxury Fan"

- Heat Stroke at Summer just fan it to Yourself
-Base get Burn just Use the Fan
- ingredient for Weather pain

thats why i Slaghter all of them in my world

ik about the fan, I have lotsa feathers for those now actually

[Retrolicious]

Easy fix for next time:
Never place your main base near a goose nest. Never place your base near a dragonfly lava pond. Never place your main base near a Bee queen hive wasp. Never place your main base near a toadstool spawner. Never place your main base near a ancient guardian spawner, etc etc

TL;DR
Never place your main base near a Boss spawner

PS: Goose & dragonfly fights were always bugged, since ancient times and klei is too lazy to fix said bugs. Dragonfly gets invincible midfight and you need to reset server. Goose randomly flying away no matter what.

The only form of problem I get is rain or sometimes other mobs like frogs come up, I know it's not very helpful to say "git gud", but truthfully it's what it boils down to.

I've not heard or even seen moosegoose ever fly off out of the blue, only times I've seen her do it is because she lost aggro because something like hounds interrupted me as usual or end of spring which is a nice sight to see truthfully.
But her being randomly being invincible is a common thing I see.
However her randomly flying off is something I could imagine happening not gonna lie.

These bosses are buggy and only ones close to being near perfect bugwise bosses are Deerclops and Bearger. Mostly Deerclops but his bugs are spawning related at times.

[Airvanz]

looks like there is bug in game 4 people report it here, maybe its only me that blind here

because what i know the goosemoose killable either Melee or using other Medhod solo and its just easy with team,so as long as i got the goodie at my chest i ok with the bosses,
i try to explain how the bosses behavior, give an example, try to analyse at how to kill it but its waste of time its just no better than said "git gud,noob kek"? then just wondering why no people vocal with this bug and report it? is Klei just not hear or see people and Close thier Eyes and Ear?

So the character Reworks and New Content update Its Useless? welp idk then because of its good update for me dunno what people thinking, just lets see how this game going
