Boreal Brute is the toughest boss in the game?

[Greywolf]

despite being a regular mob? Seriously the rest of the bosses in this game are a cake walk yet these guys who are not boss enemies are far harder? Seriously how do you damage these guys when they have their Ice armour? Feels like I am missing something? Is it possible to get rid of their armour?

[xtracheese]

Lol. When I first fought him, I kept dying (more often than when I fought a boss). Till I ended up on the top of a crate and smacking him from there. Took me long enough to realize he's very weak against fire.

A cake walk after I've found that out :'))

Who's boreal brute?

[Rivazar]

With him there are only two strategies: Fire magic to melt ice buff or stagger him with 2h weapon so he can’t buff himself. Very effective one-shot buffs+charged heavy attack.

Imagine a yeti that's 3 times taller than a normal human and 4 times more buff.

Now add that he can summon ice to become armor on his body as well as generate a massive icicle that he can throw at you with explosive force.

Now wallow in pity because that "explosive force" still applies before he throws it so it's doing damage when it hasn't even left his claw. And he also has several extended combos with large AOE strikes due to the extra ice on his limbs.

They are very easily toppled with nothing but stats: 160 ice resist and they do actually 0 damage (until they buff up). Infuse a hammer with fire and just shred their armor the moment they get it.

LMAO i went solo on them and they both gather in one spot. i was able to spam them up the air. Killed one, before i ran out of the rage bar, pain in the arse.

Fire or poison takes care of them.

I only just got to the point in the game with them. Stupid enemy. Ludicrously unbalanced. Fire damage is a necessity but it doesn't make them not stupidly over powered. It still takes 10, 15 combos to take them down.

been a while since I played this game, but I remember being able to stagger them out of the buff animation. The way you start the fight with this thing is very important. Usually when the fight starts, it will try to use this ice shield buff. If you're fast, you can prevent it from buffing up. Otherwise fire based spells/weapons are your best bet.

Wait until you get to the depths dungeon where there are two of those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in the same room. Even with a coop partner, it was hell (mostly because they kept switching targets without warning).

Guess what? I've been trying to kill those two buttholes the past hour or so.
Gotta love a game that makes normal monsters much tougher than bosses
Their damage seem to be rather inconsistent. I've had one of them one hit kill both my character and Io in one hit while sometimes they seem to deal less dmg.
Do they deal like critical damage or something?

Their rolling attack seems to do insane damage by itself. On some of my builds, it 1-shots me.

Pretty unbalanced honestly. The fast attacks are supposed to be relatively weak, and the slower attacks are supposed to hit hardest. But in this game apparently the opposite applies.
