Subway boss ???

So huh I went looking arround for stuff and I get ambushed by a sort of boss that keeps teleporting behind me, and when I shoot it flickers and it says blocked or something. What is it ? And how do I kill it ?

Keep firing. It'll say resist until you break it's shield. Then unload on him. He'll regain his shield each time he teleports. Firemods are pretty effective.

the dual cicle dude? yea. when enemies have that red glow (not many do) it means he has invinciblity armour, like flicker cloak the player can get. U need to shoot him few times to break it, then after it breaks u can dmg his hp. He will often start sprinting after a while and teleports after u dmg him enough. If he grab you he can choke u out for which u need to mash E to escape from. Keep checking your back cuz he often spawns behind you and first time he appears you might even not notice him, he can be pretty sneaky.

If you have lots of trouble with elites a good weapon is sporebloom. Sporeblooms mod makes almost all elites trivial. It's a AoE explosion that lingers and slows enemeis that enter it's cloud. It's super good against elites. It barely slows bosses tho and has poor spread and range so you are far better of with hunting rifle for bosses or such.

Oh, it's a random ennemy ? Like the ones that charge at you with a big swords or the ones that can summon other roots or the ones that you need to wait for attack before doing damage

It's an elite enemy which spawns rarely . There are certain tips with a flickering shield like Geralt alrdy explained.

Flicker Shield breaks after certain amount of damage:
Stalker (has Flicker Shield)[remnantfromtheashes.wiki.fextralife.com]
Hunter (blocks damage with swords you can hit him if he charges onto you or if you hit him from behind)[remnantfromtheashes.wiki.fextralife.com]
Assassin (pretty much sniper with flicker shield)[remnantfromtheashes.wiki.fextralife.com]

Ah, well I'm disapointed. I guess I'll find one again sometime. Thanks !
