Gluttony Boss Fight Rant

[smokeymcpot]

What... The... ♥♥♥♥??? Is this really how the boss fight is supposed to go or is my save glitched? Is the boss really supposed to instakill the player? I've been really enjoying the game so far. The Lust boss battle was difficult. I needed some tries to beat it but it was perfectly fine since it was always my mistake if I lost but this ♥♥♥♥ here... I haven't even seen him go to 50% HP and I've died maybe 10 times already. He sucks you in - instakill, he lands a blob on you - instakill, he spins his schlong - almost no way to escape dmg. Why?! This boss design is really retarded. You need to give the player some room for mistakes. Unbelievable. I'll get him eventually but this ♥♥♥♥ is aweful.

You have to spent some of your attribute points on health. Gluttony must be the easiest one among seven (including envy) because after you take half of his health, all you need to do is direct one of the bombs into his mouth. Before that, just stay far as possible when he closes himself and turns around to hit you.

Yup. Beat it after 11 tries. And yes he is very easy. There isn't even a "battle". You just have to run away as soon as he finishes his 3 hit combo and that's it. Not only is this super boring, it's also cheap that he can instanly kill you. Untill you figure this out you will keep dying.

They put zero effort into this boss. It's fine that's Envy is easy. The player is still unfamiliar with the game but this is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. That tree boss in Dark Souls 1 was even better than this. Like some review said: "Darksiders 3, why won't you let me like you"? ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥...

Heh, first you were ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ "OMG! TOO HARD ! WAAAHHH!" Then, "phss.. so easy peasy and cheesey.. waaah!" make up your mind. Or do you just cry your way through life.

Ooohh you really got me there! Don't cut yourself on that edge, bro, I never said it was hard. I said it was designed by an intern who doesn't realize that punishing the player for one mistake is bad game design. Go suck on your moms tit, mr keyboard warrior.

If it instakills you, even on the hardest difficulty, it's because you got hurt too much prior to suction or you built with too low of health. Period. That's on you. Here's a klenex.

My HP is only 300 and that's a choice, think it was lvl 6.
We shouldnt have to worry about HP in a game like this, I never do, always play barely any HP with all damage, that's how I roll.

But the mechanics in this game are so damn wonky, typically when I get hit it's because Fury don't respond to the damn inputs, I'm not building a tank to deal with wonky mechanics.

Huh, I have had zero problems with Fury responding to inputs.

That's probably because you are being patient and playing the lame waiting game with enemies, I go HAM with Fury and as a result not all inputs will register all the time.

I find this stupid to begin with, Making Fury an action slasher but putting her in methodical combat situations, who's idea what this? Fire them, they have no business in this industry.

As to the OP, Gluttony got on my nerves too, a couple of his moves just arent telegraphed in such a way that give you time to react, like his arena tentacle swipe, if you aren't already knowing its coming and are already moving to the walls, you get hit. You can't jump over them and there isn't enough time to get out of the way.
I've gotten sucked into him while my force hollow was on too, I've also got sucked in while I was using the force wrath attack in his face to try to iframe out of the suction and hit him to end it, but nope don't work that way. Can't do cool things like
Pretty abysmal boss design in general, not a fun fight either, just a nuisance.

I played fairly agressively. BUT, I sure didn't use the long chain combos. They leave you way too vulnerable. Being agressive did pay off because of the perfect counters leading to nice damage across an AOE.

I didn't try with force Hollow, but what I did find (or feel) with Glutony is that due to his suction tell being short, it's best to fight him mid range. His tentacles suck, and I can't consistently dodge them, so also I fight him mid range. His poison hurts, so I get him to drop it close range so my mid and far range is toxin free. I personaly enjoyed figuring him out. And I found the fight fair. And this was before they nerfed everything.
