Mini boss on bridge @ Broken Stairs. Cant beat

[Hyun808]

Dafuq. WHy is this mini boss so hard to beat?Im on apocalyp or w/e difficulty and he kills me in like 2 hits.
Hes the one that appears on the bridge and throws cars at you .
Did some research and it seems a lot of people are actually having trouble with this monster.
THinking of dropping the game just because of this,. Cant stand annoyances in game when they should be brning enjoyment.
This will be like literally my 8th time I think.
I mean,why so high dmg? And we cant even fricken skip cutscenes and have to start from beginning of the map.
ZZzzz

Yeap. I died ~10 times on apocalyptic (the hardest mob ever).You just need to be behind him and do as many damage as you can. Also - catch car he throw at you, but don't die when you hit him with that car.

No tactic, just dodge and attack...

Lol yeah did that. But he always gets me with his claw attacks .Ive never tried staying behind him tho. Ive tried the dashing away tactic, spamming jump attack... Still dies.
And its so descouraging because I have to start from beggining and watch the cutscene all over again @_@
I dont understand why the devs ha to make it so hard. Its not even a boss.
And I heard he'll be a regular mob in the next few parts of the game?

Yeap!

This mob has veeery large attack angle. You must avoid to be in position in front of him. Only on sides. Only dashing (ALT) from these positions can save your life.

Game has maaaany mobs that can kill you in 1-2 hits on apocalyptic, so... prepare yourself.

He gave me alot of problems too, I ended up killing him just bearly by equiping the +damage slot on the sword and alot of dashing. I think I blew both of my ground spikes on him too.

[Earthenwright]

Stingers all day everyday. How Im solving most of my combat situations.

[Hyun808]

i already beat him. I bought one of those stone that increases damage and that ski;; where he does a stabbing attack after dashing. I just kept doing that to stay on his side or behind him.He died pretty quick.

Guys. In the future you will meet many even stronger monsters plus about 10-30 other less dangerous foes. If you play on Apocalyptic there is a hint:

When War is on animating - he is invulnerable

Got it?

So, first - attack few foes until you can Finish them with single E-button. Then attack the strongest enemy. Try to dodge, dash. But when you see there is no chance to dodge - dash to weak enemy and spam E. Enemy will atack you, but War will be on animation, so he takes no damage. Then again: atack strongest or "prepare" little ones to be killed with E, if you killed them already.

And remember - best weapon is Scythe. But it's just IMHO )
+ Mass damage, knockdown spells, attack angle more than 360, mass disable, far attack range. It's a peace of "cake". I beat game 3 times with Scythe and only 1 without it.
- A little slower, not easy in use.

The "Mini-Bosses" on Apocalyptic are in my opinion most of the time much much more harder then the real bosses lol. I'm now on my way through the tower, there are for example two of that Grim Reapers. You really have to block as hell cause they have attacks which cost jo 3 complete lifebars with one simple attack. So most of the time you die instantly and often they attack you at the same time. One hit => dead! lol. No matter if you have 3,4,5 lifebars :/
That was no problem for me on "normal" as they did a lot less damage and the biggest deal is as always that there are another 2 or 3 waves of enemies appearing after you beat one of the Grim Reapers.

I also hate the block function. Its reacting really slowly and often i got hit cause i press RB but the character is reacting to slow lol. There are also bugs i never encountered before. For example i was riding at one of the big creatures, dealing damage to the mob and died. Normally you can't get hit during you're sitting on the back but there seems to be glitches. Never mind, it's really hard ^^

...and i try to beat the game almost using Chaoseater only. Did no upgrades till now on Scythe.

Equip the horn (Earthcaller) and simply alternate a single attack with RT. Piece of cake.
