Mithrix is a terrible boss

[20GoldPieces]

It's really cool that in a roguelike game about building your power through item interactions the final boss throws that all out the window and makes you fight with basically just your boring weak stock character against a bullet sponge that can kill you in two hits.

How many moons into RoR2 1.0 and people are still ranting non-stop about each and every particular line of code about how "Hopoo is so lazy, doesn't play their own game, last level so poorly designed, poor lore design, I'm never playing this again until they fix it how I WANT IT!!1!"

People writing life stories comparing RoR to countless other games and putting their expectations of their vision of an all perfect game that's absolutely flawless. It boggles me how people are so utterly furious STILL about the Mithrix fight DESPITE countless different ways being shown to beat him and countless different ways to just, you know...play the game?

I and the small group of people that enjoyed Mithrix still are practically outcasts in this forum because any attempt to dissuade the yesmen of "Mithrix is bad, and Hopoo is bad" are met with an endless swarm "You're a moron and lack critical thinking."

i take back what i said. Mithirx isnt unreasonably hard for the final phase, he is extremely easy even if you dont have movement like captain if you just stand and shoot him from the ramp, thanks hopoo

yet me and many others can beat him? every few hundred dmg he gives you your items back 1-2 types at a time in full stacks... its not hard, you just gotta know when to attack him. u'll be doing alot of running and hiding, thats why all the cover stays for you to use after phase 2. so you can use it phase 3-4. you must use the area to your advantage.

Mithirx was easy, and with thew recent patch is now even easier. If you honestly had trouble to begin with, then you shouldn't now, but if you still do, and where talking about monsoon then maybe go play on drizzle and learn his moveset?

Here's a funny tip, i just had a random public match on monsoon and went as artificer with the lunar equipment meteor, i just flew around the arena lobbing lightning balls while meteor did most of the work, during the item steal phase which i think everyones b1ching about, i just continued to fly around, and then i froze him in place while a fully lobbed lightning ball hit him and the meteors finished him off, didnt take a single hit the entire fight. Dunno what's so bad about it.

As huntress i usually shift around the map and hit him with the special 3x900%.

As commando i lob grenades and secondary.

Actually instead of telling you each character to do, basically keep moving, and spam your secondary and specials, i mean how bloody dumb you gotta be?

Of course you can beat him whats your point, i so far made it to eclipse 4 within a few days and that still doesnt mean hes a good boss fight. And guess what, if you seriously need to cheese him by staying out of the range of his attacks rather then dodging them out in the open and you die in a single hit even on the first loop, then its a ♥♥♥♥ boss.

How about instead lf ignoring criticism about game design with ad hominems and personal attacks actually respond to it

You shouldnt be forced to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ study the boss fight and considering you have to go 30 minutes in just to fight him each time sucks

Also its not that his move set has anything wrong with it. His first and third phase he teleports like 3 times and then instantly slams you, he also has no cd on the slam attack so he can do it twice in a row, so if you use your hopoo feathers and movement ln dodging the first one he can teleport behind you at a weird angle and slam you, it also gives you the effigy effect and pierces jade elephants and basically everything.

Also again if you have to cheese the boss then whats the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ point. Also as captain your taser does nothing and your passive that he steals cancels the orbital strike

old thread but i hate this boss more than anything. i just got the 20 zone trophy, was a god, one-shotting everything, even mithrix. then as if to punish me for doing an amazing run he one shots me because he became too powerful to even do damage to. and for everyone saying kill him before he takes your it3ems, you cant. he is invincible until he takes your items

You used to be able to kill him before he took them, they patched it. Also you get your items back by hitting him so you will kill him eventually no matter how many defensive items he got.

literally hopoo still hasnt fixed the boss, they made a tiny patch and has ignored it and gone radio silent about it since then. He is so incredibly boring and lame.

Fortunately he's optional. Nowadays I just loop and obliterate exclusively. Much more fun.

They said there will be another final boss but I can't remember if it's dlc or a free update

[SrCalavera94]

I dont know, i kinda like it, is unfair as ♥♥♥♥ and the best strat is runing the ♥♥♥♥ away and cheesing hes ass (talking about face 4). It be cooler if you could fight him straight up, but eh some old videogame bosses were unfair ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ too, kinda makes them memorable, but yeah is bad desing.

I also wouldn't classify artificer as 'immobile', she's a hell of a lot faster than MUL-T, REX, or Acrid.

All the characters have the same movement speed, just sayin'.

You haven't played a lot of game have you ? Because almost every boss in a LOT of video games will ask you to learn their attack pattern, at the very least.
