Did they nerf the Lagon boss?

He destroyed me in the campaign and posteriorly he's destroying in corruption 0 even tho i have maxed resists and my hits barely damage him to the point i've stopped playing because i really want to throw a rant about how unfun bosses are in this game.

It feels like edmund mcmillen balanced this. I'm obliterating all the trash but the moment something hits me my life just goes from 100 to 0 faster than an american on his way to wendy's.

The fact that his tentacles are swiping at you constantly whilst he's also throwing a one shotting attack every few seconds makes using a melee against him a misserable experience. My first class was a mage and i was doing monos at level 30 with no problem the first time i arrive at the end of time (pre runes of power).

With the paladin i had to level up a lot and be methodical to be sure that i killed everything before they had a chance to attack or ill be in a bad spot, specially when you're facing massive scarabs that tank like hell, hit like trucks and for some reason can get the "frenzies when allies die" affix...

The crafting system carries this game hard...because everything else feels like garbage. Either follow a guide for a broken build or just forget about having fun because you tried to make your own thing.

Dodge when the eye goes red! :)

I just remembering the fight had more phases before?

Oh man, with some characters I always struggle on Lagon

[Cutie ♡]

I had the same problem. I mostly got around it by moving a lot from side to side at every major attack he does.

Unless they have fixed it recently, the Lagon fight has been broken for years. Some builds have issues even hitting the fella (you know, the size of a barn) for some reason.

Yes, it took EHG all these years to implement the bog standard for this type of boss fight, the same change we were told was not good enough on the official feedback forum all those years ago.

Lagon is no long the poster boss for hitbox issues, he is now the poster boss for melee punishment and simply representative of hitbox issues that apply broadly to bosses.

The complaints here have been my EXACT experience here. I can get through everything else easily and then Lagon completely wrecks my character. He takes so little damage that I think it would take more than a full hour, he has serveral oneshotting attacks, semi random Ai which makes positioning very difficult for melee characters. I try to fall back to earlier areas or places with keys and even when I enter dungeons 10 levels higher than mine I can't pick up any of the drops./venting rant

I hate the Lagon changes since it makes it way harder to avoid Lagon attacks at lest for me.

Sure the targeting was iffy in the old version but at lest I could still kill him slowly.

Ah that was the change I was confused about not remembering, and I guess it did make the fight more fair aka a bit easier.
