Yo what on EARTH is with the first boss?

[Pride Lizard Pride Lizard]

Don't you think it's a little absurd that the first boss can literally just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ one shot you in the first few seconds of spawning in on the hardest difficulty, deleting your save and making you do the entire thing again? Come on.

Hello

next update is going to nerf the first boss a little bit. It's coming soon ;)

Stoked to see the devs still planning to update this great game. This game is awesome. Im a retro fanboy and I LOVE the style of this game and even more so the SOUNDTRACK. Ive revisited the game after a while. Hate that it got lost in my library. And went to the store page to buy the soundtrack....oh snap...its free with the game. Lol Im now motivated to leave a review and post a new thread. Mad love devs!

oh and as far as this thread....like for real...come on guys...hating on dude for complaining about getting insta'killed a second after loading into boss. Thats not "oh well get used to HARD dif" Thats a honest mistake in boss design/damage calc or possibly hitbox timing issue with his attack at load in/spawn. Whatever it was (rando guessing honestly). It seems to have been quickly addressed by the dev....and that alone is...well...case and point. And notice how he didnt address it further? Wonder why...

Tone down the hate guys, remember.....your attacking another fan of a game...that you also enjoy? Why not have a discussion about it instead of throw s***. Is steam not full of enough toxicity in game communities?

Auto-assuming this guys is trying to get bragging rights and yadda yadda is unproductive and makes me sick tbh. Wish this thread went more into strategies about the boss fight or better yet ways to re-balance other boss fights. Cause for real this game on HARD is HARD ASF. xD

Sorry for the rant tho. ^_^

Many people complaining about a boss, is reason to rework that boss.
One person complaining abut a boss, just means that one person needs to lower the difficulty level.

its one thing to have a boss be difficult, but the double barrel is the only one that actually damages him in the 3rd phase. literally did no damage with magic dynamite, nailgun...

That sounds like a bug instead of an overpowered boss.

Just completed the game for the first time. I played on hard.
The first boss was by FAR the hardest part of the game, nothing else came even close.

This thread is about the sphinx boss. It is not the first one. I thus take it you didn't have an issue with it and was able to beat it just fine?

No, the thread is about the first boss, which is the sorcerer.

OOps, my bad. Got my wires crossed.

I was indeed talking about the sorcerer, the first boss who's also by far the strongest boss in the game imo.
4th boss did absolutely nothing, 2nd and 3rd I ran in circles and it went fine. Final boss had a huge amount of hp but none of his attacks were very threatening and by then I had all my guns upgraded.
First boss is just crazy hard. The first two phases he can just insta kill you if you make one single misstep. Poof, you're gone. And the third phase ??? I played through it a few times now, he just rushes you down and it always felt like a dps race. If there's counterplay, haven't found it. I just don't think the first boss should be as OP as this, especially compared to the others who were just pushovers for the most part.

I understand that the initial boss fight was pretty easy, but this new update just made it way too hard with it spawning the bigger mechanical enemies.

The terminators and walkers can be a bit too much if you are unlucky with what spawns

if i can be honest, pre nerf he was actually pretty braindead. he missed every single shot considering i always stayed on the move. (got it ingrained from DOOM 2016, thank GOD!) the only part i found unfair was in phase 3. basically the movement speed and zero chance to dodge his melee attacks. (he has no transition animation from reaching you and his attack, it's practically instantaneous and hits like a mother.)

needless to say, this guy is now both deadly accurate and deals a crap ton of damage still. feels like he even hits me through the pillars, which i think was what was saving me before the nerf.

down to two lives now outta six, literally my first roadblock in the game after almost half a year off of it. this thing is wild!
