3 player coop on last boss is broken

[Zerixar]

no matter how many stacks you have you cannot break his armor. something is broken with the scaling.

Have killed him with 3 People several times. Try use different combos. Dots are very strong against his armor.

have every single item in the game, 480 trait points. tried multiple builds. at 15 stacks, couldn't break in 3 player with a build i can break easily (and almost 1 shot) with in 2 player. (hard difficulty).

and it's not just me. the other 2 people i was with had good builds/weapons and we cleared all of hard mode in like 1.5 hours, but in a 10 minute fight with each of us getting pulled into the nightmare multiple times, NONE of use could break the armor. it even looked like it did the armor break animation, but then continued to be invincible.

Ya..maybe just a bug.

looking through posts i'm not the only person reporting that coop is scaling really bad on the last boss post patch. and almost every thread i'm seeing is people going "fight it solo" because the scaling is broken.

not. OK.

If you were on Nightmare I'd buy what you were selling, but you're not. More than likely you're not utilizing the best methods to stun the boss. Tell me exactly what you're doing in regards to being transported out to the other dimension and then what you're doing when you exit that dimension. I'm almost positive this will reveal user error, despite you having all the tools available that you'd need.

I assume the OP has a full group since he's talking about 3 players.

I'll keep following this post since i can still break the boss armor with Hunting rifle +20 and Wildfire Shot (it gives you 5 charges of flame grenades) on Nightmare difficulty.
So maybe it's just a temporary bug for your session ? Or maybe because the boss scaled up a bit too high for your co-op game ?
Note: I beat him while playing Solo on nightmare

definitely a bug, even consistently trying with 15 stacks from the void realm, neither me nor my friend can get more than a centimetre off his health in coop.
we restarted the game several times, switched up builds and weapons. over and over.
one time i even had as many as 20 stacks.
Whether its Ruin, or handguns, or a with level 20 beam rifle. No go. nothing works.
what a demoralising session.
I do love this game but i hope this gets patched ASAP.
this was on normal - lol

Absolutely a bug. Tried on 3 players, never got him to expose dreamer. Tried on solo as well. My solo run lasted about 30 minutes and he still never exposed the dreamer. I was consistently hitting him with more than 13 - 15 stacks every time. Dreamer fight is 100% broken right now. Prior to this recent patch, I never had this issue and have killed dreamer multiple times on normal and hard.

I don't know why, but with 2 or 3 people damage to stagger him doesn't seem to be enough. Solo, instead is easy even with 9 stacks. With 2 people 18 stacks are not enough. I think they should rescale his stagger threshold since only one person goes into the shadow realm.

with breath of the desert is an instantkill when the guy upen up and is fine like it is.... because i do not want to play more than 2 minutes a crappy bossfight when i have to wait the guy to teleport me or get 1 shotted cause i distracted or been too close... they should modify the boss fight to be fun to play and remove the 1 shot by boss attack (because 1 shot is always stupid) and last make rapid teleports... when they do that we can talk about the boss durability. if they do not fix it i prefer if they remove it.

is more than enough, you just need to use DPS elemental weapon mod like breath of the desert, swarm or even wildfire shot are extremely damaging to the boss and there are more, swarm and breath of the desert are the best; just use swarm and then spam the breath cause it will get self reload when the boss gets hit by swarm and breath, when he open up spam breath together and basically it melts.

Need to say that this is an old thread made during the time when exposing his weak point in a 3-man team on nightmare difficulty needed around 22 stacks and very specific mods.

Now the fight has been nerfed to the ground. Still a few things don't work because the damage stacks work in a r etarded way, but high damage mods and weapons with high fire rate only need a few stacks to expose his weak point. Also Osseus set is now a thing.

that's right! but the guy commented 12 hrs ago that he still have problems with it and that's strange.

As of April 2020, I am unfortunately encountering the same problem while playing COOP with my brother. Nothing seems to work. What a sad way to end this adventure.

this has been patched a long time ago, there is a chance your just not doing enough damage. fast firing weapons like the AR and the SMG are recommended. also I seen alot of people use the hive to get extra damage on them
