How to beat the boss?

[Genetic]

In the big room with pilars, after several attempts i managed to destroy the 3 energy balls and dodge the laser beams coming from the center but after that i can't defeat the vortigaunt no matter what i throw to him it won't die...
Also the air is poison and it kills me slowly, wasted all health and armor stations triyng to stay alive but no luck...
Any clue how to defeat it?

The final vort is really beefy, really bullet spongey. You just gotta keep pumping him with bullets, he'll eventually die.

Thanks to patch 1, you can safely unload all AR2 alt-fire rounds into it, then all of your AR2 ammo. That should do it.
If not, keep unloading everything.
Oh, and stick near the Heath chargers.

The AR2 alt fires on the final vort should do nothing, the vort should just absorb them, rather than dying to them.

Huh. Good to know. I kinda figured that'd be a bit overpowered.

Nah the boss is pretty easy if you know what to-do, kill the first two enemies then make a mad dash over to a switch that are locationed west, north, east. Once you destroy one you just have to dodge the lazers, I would also stand on a pillar as right after that attack a massive wave of energy will be released (if you can't get onto a pillar when it happens then go to the armor points, it will keep you alive if you use E on it).

Do this 3 times and then you fight main Vortgaunt, just keep ahead of him and get ready to get behind a wall when he charges up his attack. Just remember to keep healing and never get close (his shield will kill you). Honestly the only part I die on doing this fight is the lazers, they will one shot you in most cases (or almost one shot you). I find this fight enjoyable and not too hard but not too easy.

i just reached the boss myself, hes reallly too strong for a boss who has no health bar... i end up having no ressources left in the room and i think i have to restart from an old save now...

[SpeedKiller.txt]

i think ill go ent_remove on his ass...
edit: godmode and all of my smg ammo did the trick i guess...

Would you guys welcome a nerf?

I could throw one in there for v2.

Would probably nerf the lazer attack and the energy wave, both hits like a truck and come very quickly. Overall I find the boss in the right spot of difficulty, I don't find the Vort at the end tankly at all and the armor rechargers always gave me enough hp to get throughout the entire battle (even if I got hit by a lazer once and mess up by getting hit a good amount of times by the final Vort).

it sounds like the vort could use a bleed effect.
don't know how difficult that would be, though.

The lasers need nerf. They kill you INSTANTLY.

One time I easily killed the final Vortigaunt, and the game didn't transition to the ending cutscene. Since it was a while since I played the ending when it softlocked, I didn't know what to do...

In early versions, using the AR2 energy balls on the vort would softlock the game.
