Porky Puff

[Fool]

40 hours into this, finally thought "Oh yeah, I should take care of those big things chewing up the roots.."

So, drove out to Porky Puff to give him what for, and he has curb stomped me at least 20 times. I do not understand how to hurt him. I've tried shooting the patches on his feet, and that doesn't seem to do anything even after shooting them all for awhile, shows no visual effect or anything. Dragging the bombs under him and detonating at least brings up his health bar and stuns him, but then can't hurt him past that and he just goes invulrn again after a few seconds and we're at it again.

What am I missing? It has to be something obvious.

Try with the bombs.

Shoot all four feet and he falls down and becomes vulnerable for about 5 seconds.

Is there any visual effect to show a foot has been shot?

Did for a good long while, was able to get the health bar to come up after detonating them under him, but couldn't damage him while it was there, after a bit would just go invuln again and we'd just go at it again.

There is! A slow down, and a loud "POP" sound.

Also shoot it with your gun, and preferably something you can just keep shooting while driving around, a rifle or automatic rifle, makes it easier to hit multiple weak points while actively dodging the waves.

After the fourth leg, a fifth weak point on the head.

After that, it will dive, my advice : drive in large circles. You don't want to meet its tail.

Then, it will half emerge. Throw a rubber duck in front of him, and go back to shooting its weak points.

Then, second phase. If you're good at dodging, stay afar. If you're good with QTE, get close.

That's what I was worried about, I've had no visual effects at all. Nothing when using the bombs either, his health bar just pops up for about 5-7 seconds and then goes away. I've a bad feeling the boss is bugged for me. I'm using an Automatic Rifle, Twin Pistols, tried Shotgun too. Can't get anything to work.

This is also happening to me. It is like his hitbox for being damaged isn't there.

No, I've pretty much worked out what the issue is, I had the same problem on another one of the Worldeaters, the guns I was using were crafted with special abilities to do damage in an AOE. They don't interact well with objective points like that, mass damage to enemies but things like turrets, random quest things, or boss weak points they do nothing against. Came across it again during Hoof Puff and once I played around a bit, switched to a far less powerful gun with different abilities, they started popping like normal. So just trying to narrow down what abilities cause this bug.
