There's nothing wrong with Mithrix stealing items. Take Shaped Glass and learn to DODGE RAIN

[VolteVaris]

Shaped Glass exists for the exact reason of poisoning Mithrix. Start practicing with the Glass rune before you even dream of trying to kill Mithrix.

You instagib him, or he instagibs you. Seems fair to me.

Providence had his ♥♥♥♥ing deathworms.
Mithrix has his item steal.
Both are brutally unfair.
Brutally Unfair is Risk of Rain.

[Professor Hugedix]

it's not difficult, it's boring and the gimmick is old after the first time you see it.

Yes I completely agree, it's 100% balanced. My 4 hour stage 71 run could definitely out-DPS his item steal.
(granted he may or may not have had -2.1 billion HP and been extremely hard to do any damage to even with a build that could oneshot maps, but I got that far into the fight and had the win stolen away from me, literally)

You don't need to do it any more than once.
And it sure as ♥♥♥♥ isn't "old" to me.
Ain't my fault you picked up bad habits of "builds" with your command nonsense.
Glass is the player's friend. Practice it. Learn to love it. Then carry the shaped glass to Mithrix.

It's why it exists.

There is a stark difference between providence and mithrix. One is designed well as a boss (with a great level to go with him) and the other is total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mechanically.

yeah sure dude, final boss, do it once then never go back, great 1.0 release man

command isn't even necessary. it's just a badly designed boss. "stack glass" doesn't make it fun.

Mad because Bad. Mithrix would lose all character without the Steal, and it forces players to GIT GUD.
Even if he didn't have the steal his fourth phase will instagib you anyway.
Show me your RoR1 and RoR2 hours and acheives

Guess that's something you and them have in common.
I noticed you didn't show your RoR1 and RoR2 things that I requested.
You know I'm going to disregard you for that, right?

being regarded by you would be worse, the things you think are good are bad.

You're kind of whiny self important little loser.

[ArtemisHunt]

It definitely says a lot about a boss when the proposals to dealing with it are:

1. Git gud
Git gud is not an answer to poor design.

2. Artifacts
Artifacts are a cosmetic to the game, not necessarily part of the core. If your strategy involves artifacts, you're already down the wrong path

3. Gimmick Shaped Glass Build
When you need to use a gimmick like a shaped glass build so you can OHKO, that's a sign of a poorly designed fight

4. Cheese room location
This is a result of a poorly designed fight AND a poorly designed room. The fact that you can cheese the boss from a pillar is already a sign of bad room design but the fact that it's proposed as a strategy means that the fight design is poor since people resort to cheese to deal with it.

The pace of the game comes to a grinding halt and this is really the biggest offender. Your movement, grinding halt. Your attacks, grinding halt. It's just not fun to slow down by 75% in a game where you've been ramping up for 30-60 minutes

[QRM]

I've beat him a few times, the fight is actually fun and exciting up until the item steal point. You have to just cheese him down to nothing instantly. You can tell it's ♥♥♥♥ because you don't even care to see what happens IF he succeeds in taking your items. He doesn't just keep them forever, he eventually gives them back, but no one wants to even bother cause it's awful. You just want him to sit down, not do an interesting mechanic cause it feels awful.

[Lunacy]

It's not intended for you to have to change up your itemization just to deal with phase 4, a change should be coming in a few weeks.
The only reason it's so bad and annoying is because he gets to use every item effect that he takes, so something as simple as Barbed Wire or Chronobauble can end your run. Hopoo forbid you've picked up a Tesla Coil.
Once he no longer gains item effects, it'll probably be a much more fair and engaging fight. Though so far I haven't survived phase 4 long enough without cheesing it with artificer, engineer turrets, or bursty dps to skip it entirely to see how it really plays out.

Agreed lol

[Teknical Mage]

Just knowing his timing and being careful with dodge makes monsoon runs really playable. He's a struggle but not impossible or even unfair. I'd equate his hammer slams to a vagrent. You gotta know when to gtfo because a few slip ups and you die.
