What mod are you using?

[Hinnyuu]

Imagine complaining about the power level of Flowering Cactoid XD

[Joshybones]

Oh, I see. Even if you do suffer through 1000 parrys to defeat the thing, it just uses 1000 needles and instantly kills you. Fun.

you need a black mage for that fight. Otherwise it's too strong for you that early in the game.

[Joshybones]

oh no, i need 1001 hit points because it does 1000 damage no matter what, can't dodge it or avoid it

[Joshybones]

obviously, by having 1001 hp, i have outsmarted the genius game designer hat created this god tier end game boss monster

That's just a part of the fight. Get a second party member and use a phoenix down when someone get's hit with the 1000 needles. It's unavoidable. That fight is too difficult, or even impossible with just one character.

[Joshybones]

No other character has 1001 hit points, and therefore they are inferior and unworthy to join me in my quest to defeat the giant death cactus.

[Joshybones]

UPDATE: I managed to kill it without 1001 hit points. I just had to punch it down below the threshold of a single fire spell to kill him without ever using 1000 needles. It took 70 potions though.

Poe's Law?

You're supposed to use quickenings against 1000 needles, by dealing enough damage to kill it right before it can use it.

Alot of marks and bosses get much tougher at their last sliver of health, where a quickening chain can push through it. It's demonstrated in the tutorial.

Normally one wouldn't have access to quickenings so early in the game unless they have grinded a fair bit. The easiest strategy for flowering cactoid is to just have a black mage in the fight, or wait until after you've returned from the Barheim Passage.

But your right about about marks getting tougher at their last sliver of health. Unleashing a quickening chain at their last sliver of health to finish them off is a great strategy. Some marks can quickly overwhelm you when they are near death.

I always prioritize at least level 1 quickenings. It lets you cheese the first ba'gamnon fight.

For real? It's easy to solo the cactus. You just need to use the right magic/items. I used dark/inmobilize and the shards to do a ton of damage before it could cast 1000 needles. Easy mob
