How to beat Tiamat

[Nun With A Great Rack!]

From time to time I see posts by players who have difficulty beating Tiamat.
Here is a video on how to do so!
This is being done on Apocalyptic Mode.
There are no spoilers. It's just the fight.

Thanx a lot for this help. I thought that I never create it. The fight has cost me almost all nerves.

[Nun With A Great Rack!]

You are most welcome!

In some ways I think this is the hardest boss, even though it's the first one you meet.

No doubt I was one of the posts Nun With A Great Rack! saw. My biggest problem was the whole bomb business. The tip that helped me most was to use the target lock, rather than the reticule aim cursor, when throwing the bombs at Tiamat.

I forgot to mention that I had the Weapon Master enhancement on at the time. During my next playthrough I think some testing is in order. That enhancement dosen't seem to do much.
I think the real power comes from leveling up chaos eater and the attack moves.

the worm
and i don't mean the boss fight itself that's the easy part, it's the pit that's the most frustrating.
it's really the only time i ever died on apocylpes and that was cheap insta deaths, first playthrough to.

Here is the Silitha fight.
No spoilers :-)

When you say "pit" are you talking about the arena where youfree your horse?

The Insta death section where the worm chases you through sand and you have to move from platform to platform with precise timing

I thought that was fun and scary!

I really can't understand the bosses in this game.
Tiamat is bloody difficult, mostly because of terribly slow aiming.
Then you have Griever with her annoying beam that reinforces blue rocks and makes the fight longer than it should be.
Coming next, Stygian. A great boss, also fairly easy compared to the previous ones.
Number four is Silitha, the only boss you literally just grind and grind until she falls. Easy but a bit epileptic.
And then you have Straga. Straga who greets you saying "STRAGA IS THE STRONGEST OF THE CHOSEN". He is also the only boss with whom I didn't need any healing mid-fight. And the only one I beat in under 3 minutes. And literally, THE EASIEST BOSS IN THE GAME. He comes as the last of five Chosen. I still haven't fought the Destroyer but seeing the tendency, I expect him to pose as much challenge as the Electrocutioner in Arkham Origins.
Great game but the creators could use some practice with difficulty balancing.

Agreed. Some of the mini-bosses are strong enough to one shot you on apocalyptic.

This guy has been mentioned a few times and there are several ways to beat him:
The first is death by car. If you hit him enough he will be executable when he lands on your platform.

Or you can block his attacks:

I made this one just to show that his attacks ARE blockable. The 2 handed attack requires you to block a second time. If you do or do not block the first attack, you still need to hit block again to defend against the second attack.

I don't do either of these usually. I wait till he lands on my platform, then hack and dodge.

If you're good at blocking, you can beat every boss of the game without taking damage. Including final boss (maybe the easiest :D). As for Tiamat, if you know how to block, it can be the easiest. Even her dive is blockable.

You can block her dive??? Holy smokes... The next time I play through I might just record all my boss battles and see what moves can be blocked. Thanks for the info!
The more you know...
