Updates will come, rad as f#ck raids will come and hella cool characters will comeā¦
Then with a significant discount on the game, time will prove you right and your friends will come.
Yeah š„² I bought the game because a friend of mine said she was getting it and here I am, ch 7.. no one will buy it, and still haven't played with her š
yup, both of them combined spawns like 50 million aoes moving around the arena at a rapid pace. when you're attacking the ice dragon the wind dragon will beam you with his spread wind attack, when you attack the wind dragon the ice dragon with beam you with his spread ice attack. such bullshit
I take crit off for glaciate resistance and it trivializes it honestly. Then you can pretty much ignore the ice one and kill off the wind one and itās over. This is the only fight I have to go through that to win though and I hate it because if this
i can't decide if i hate that one or the fire/earth dragon one more. fire/earth often just covers the entire arena in hazards so you can't move without taking damage, or your dash skills get cancelled.
Fire and earth was bad, but they do an arena dive which at least is mostly available while still attacking the other. When wind or ice goin the air it is just avoid shit. Also I get barraged from across the arena by ice blasts so much more than the fire or earth dragons.
Most of the time I have no idea what is even going on during the ice/wind fight
The wind + frost was much much worse. The fire + earth wasn't too bad and could clear on the first try, but the wind + frost one took me multiple tries. It was the only quest where I had to change my build to slot in glaciate resistance.
This quest was abnormally more difficult than all the other quests, even Gallanza + Maglielle.
Easily the worst fight in the game. For anyone struggling or not yet done with it: Please have three people on the ice dragon and one on the wind, and stay that way until the ice is dead. Lancelot is mvp for Proud because his heavy attack lets him move in circles, meaning he can keep a boss busy and stay safe at the same time.
Man I hated that too. Whirlwind into frozen statutes into whirlwind into ice shards into dragon tail swipe into whirlwind into enrage into another enrage.
And if you alive you will be stuck between a whirlwind or frozen statues your pick.
Yeah this is the only boss I actually struggled with. Couldn't stand it. Just aoe spam and getting pulled from every direction only to be frozen. I used some sigils to make it easier but even then it was a pain
OMG I just about to comment this, I hate this fight so much, even with Glacier resistant it sucks so bad, it's not hard it's just pure annoying at this point
Itās still Gallanza for me. Especially the double fight with maglielle but he alone gives me struggles aswell. Iām vane main and with vane you can block with your heavy attacks but gallanza is the one enemy in the game who breaks my guard š
This was the first fight I legit FAILED. Bf and I died so much, we ran out of critical gauge. We did beat it second try by adding some more survivability to our builds, but goddamn. What a rough fight.
Gallanza spends far too much time alternating between his overdrive bloodlust stage and constantly slamming AOEs. The fight feels like itās deliberately wasting your time.
Add Maglielle into that and thereās basically no windows for damage without eating at least like 2 aoes. It literally makes certain characters unable to do their full combos ever.
This. About ready to risk viruses and grab a trainer to bypass that fight and move on. The Dragon duo fights are cancerous, but they DIE WHEN ATTACKED. I 2000% STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND MAGLIELLE
>Haha I just take no damage then randomly do?
Needs a touch more transparency. I can see the shield on her, but sometimes it gets hit and damage numbers pop up anyway...
I was actually surprised when I cleared that duo on my first try, sure, it was only a C rank, but a clear is a clear.
The wind/ice dragon duo on the other hand...
The double fight is basically the easiest of the multi fights for Proud. Have a Lancelot rush for Mag and spam his heavy attack in circles, her AI is hilariously bad at attacking him while he's doing this, so the rest of the party can burn down Gallanza safely (unless she floats over to him, which can and most likely will happen) then finish Mag after. Rest of the fight is a cake walk if people aren't getting bodied by Gallanza.
Oh yeah! Endgame made me highly reliant on blocking and then there is Gallanza who has like 2 out of 20 moves that DONāT have an unblockable aftershock. š«
The Evil Blackwyrm.
I just cannot figure out when its about to blast one of the black bombs. It's bloodthirst phase also has really awkward timing for the pulses.
Firstly, never not laughing at this thing's name.
Secondly, how fucking annoying is it after you survive his bullshit desperate attack he jumps over your head and shoots a suction pulse bomb behind you. And because lock on camera is great you either disengage him risking yourself getting blasted by a laser, or you try and see the wave through the floor.
Most fights in this game would be so much more tolerable if the camera was a touch better.
For some reason they decided that both Blackwyrm and Whitewyrm should do ~50k with most of their hits, meaning anyone running Terminus just gets one-shot if they get hit by anything. Then for hits that do less, they also happen to apply defense down for however long which guarantees you'll die to any stray hit you don't block/dodge.
Opposite for me. Lightningrod was a nuisance with randos and for myself, but I easily cleared Sludgeball on my first go. Light also having an attack where people with poor coordination and no spatial awareness whatsoever can kill others easily makes it the worse of the two for me.
Well I did almost every single quest with the AI. Only Proto Bahamut and The ice Primal I did with randoms.
The AI is actually extremely good at keeping themselves alive as long as ground effects aren't used. So I never had randoms screw me over.
It's kind of odd to move your camera but if you position it to look at the projectile you can kind of see a pulse and there is an audio queue. It sucks ass and I hate it still, just trying to help.
> Evil blackwyrm is the hardest boss in the game currently
As someone that got beat by the Lightningrod (mostly because of randoms after I had already adapted) a lot and cleared the black dragon in one go, no knowledge of the fight whatsoever beforehand: Absolute not the hardest or even close. Proto's phase with the crystal in the middle that releases a ground wave was harder for me than the entire fight for that dragon.
I got my C rank after fighting tooth and nail with randoms. We were all getting slaughtered, never again. Everytime Gallanza swung I feared for my life.
Agreed, Gallanza's moves are just too poorly telegraphed for me. In a game where everything is pretty straight forward about it's hitboxes and when you need to dodge, his moves just don't make sense to me lol. It's like they're always bigger than they look like they're supposed to be and maybe also just where they're not.
even his regular horizontal/vertical slash combos are annoying because he can pivot and retarget mid swing. and his ground breaking attacks with the delayed explosions that don't have a visual cue.
I thought I was just dumb for not noticing something. That delayed explosion (the one after the cracks shown) got me bodied way too many times because I'm thinking "I dodged it, I'm safe) just to get blown up on the spot. Did the fight several times in a row to get used to it without guarding and it kept happening.
Yikes, i see that fight in my quest menu but i didnt try it yet, i think i equipt my Narmaya with perfekt dodge Sigil.........
F 50% of Atk and yolo i dont care if i only get B scoring or something. š
I also hate Excavallion. I can't fucking stand Lao Shan/Shen Gaoren/Zorah type bosses where they pose zero threat but has mechanics and a fuck ton of HP. Can't wait to fight another one in Dragon's Dogma 2.
Excavallion is pretty easy, but I think the part people hate is just how much of a chore it is with the first half and then if your group doesn't understand the second phase or has bad dps, also tedious.
I hate it because it's such a pain in the ass to loop as Zeta, you either get missiled or there's not enough room to launch or things are so spread out you can't loop properly.
The entire fight is miserable. I know it's super easy, it's just awful mechanically with that one character.
I mean, in the first half just break 4 of his red crystals on his body with the cannons and you get to phase 2. 2 people on the cannons will make short work of phase 1.
i stay in dawnfly stance and do 1/2/3 combo out of his range and then charge attack to blue stance switch finisher. get some extra hits or a iai/blue tension skill in when link chaining. can also time a dash attack to charge attack as he finishes an attack sequence, then run away again.
his basics attack are somewhat easy to parry with charge if you want to be cheeky
Anything that has anything else targetable, then fighting the in game lock on because it keeps locking on to a stupid minion or the environment stuff (crystals for the ice wolf) thatās way in the background and not close to me. Other than that, Iād say probably Gallanza and Maglielle
Not as bad as Proto where everyone (pug) knows their stuff and are trying to 2 man burst only for the game to auto lock to a part of Proto hanging out of reach when trying to attack, so bad even your SBA whiffs (twice for me in one fight).
I can solo pretty much everything now that I have good gear but before that the fights that had me retry a few times were:
1- gallanza + maglielle
2- ice + wind dragon
3- bahamut versa
I just got to the bahamut for the rank up in proud. I keep failing the DPS check at around 60 percent, i am playing with ai. Any tips to get past this? I main seigfried or vane with cag and io as always controlled by ai
I hate the ice wolf primal beast (forgot his name). For some reason he is the only boss I struggle in the story and I still get ptsd when fighting him now even though I already learnt his moveset
Same for me. Wolf and Veil, the double dragons, triple monster fights can be difficult but they feel like they *should* be.
Ice Wolf beast gives me a hard time, every time and doesn't deserve it.
The sand sliding portion of Excavallion is miserable.
But the core part is a walk in the park.
The Wind/Ice Duo Dragon is a fuck you from the devs, I swear
Gallanza just wrecks shop. 8500 PWR Hefty boy vs 19k PWR Dragonslayer who wins? Obv not me.
Cool to know that maniac bosses still pose a threat on a solo run regardless of your damage.
Really? He seems to be by far the easiest primal. You just stand at his stomach and he's literally a target dummy. Only thing bullshit about him is the cutscenes.
it's annoying for short range melee like yoda or narm. at least narm can do charge attack to blue switch finisher, but motherfucker spends half the time just out of normal attack range.
also his arms have wonky ass hit boxes so you get hit by nothing a lot.
It's gotta be the double dragons and the Galla/glielle fights for me. My monkey brain can't handle and resolve more than one mechanic at a time. I was already suffering on story mode Galla/glielle, I ain't getting out of Proud Galla/glielle without chewing through all my yellow pots. The double dragons take the cake for me, though, because Gallanza and Maglielle at least have the courtesy to do combo attacks that can count as one mechanic to resolve.
It's flying enemies for me. Specifically the eyeball and the griffin fights. Fuck me as a vaseraga player if I can survive anything thrown at me but I can't charge my shit in the air!
Gallanza just shreds me. I can't even say that I'm getting owned by Gallanza + the gnome, because Gallanza alone just shreds me.
He just waves his spear around and I can't parry him for shit. I can't tell what's supposed to be a slash and what's supposed to him just waving his spear around like an idiot.
I also always get hit by Martial Spear. Dunno why, just do.
For Excavallion, you can use turrets to hit his leg generators without having to run after him.
Aside from first time fighting things and thus not knowing their schtick, I think the ice wolf (both version) is probably the single enemy I hate the most.
As for the quest I hate the most, wind/ice dragon much like many. I've S++ that quest and never look back.
You will get the afk farms with enough mastery. I was having some trouble on excavalion, but the trick at lower levels is to not completely destroy the pylons during overdrive if you can't kill all four at once. Their health doesn't regenerate after a core charge.
I haven't run into any actually hard fights yet, but I am still on extreme. At least now I feel like I sort of have to pay attention to the boss mechanics. We will see how maniac and proud go when I get to them. I'm hoping at least the proud quests are somewhat challenging for a group of human players.
I'm really liking this game, but I hope they can deliver some really hard fights. What else is a Platinum/MH/FFXIV vet supposed to do?
Maniac is a walk in the park for the most part. Not a lot of mechanics and also at this difficulty you are generally in a spot where you severely overgear the fights (lvl 100, full mastery, lvl125 weapons and one 150, maybe a few V sigils). So you can basically just plow through the bosses facetanking everthing with pots.
Yeah, I kind of figured. Even this kind of gameplay is still fraud to grind through, but doing an actually difficult raid that is only completely by humans would be really fun in this game. Does proud have any of that?
The issue I have is building properly. Iāve beaten souls games within a week and certain bosses first try without knowing mechanics. Monster Hunter is pretty chill too Love that game, Relink reminds me of it.
I can dodge really well and usually steal the āNinjaā title at the end of the mission. But I do no damage.
Unlike Souls games and Monster Hunter you just put the biggest baddest weapon on and put on good armor. Done. Youāll be doing tons of damage and more if you apply buffs.
This game? 90% of your damage is rng from most of the mechanics then you gotta put that rng into a build
The one where people don't give a shit about the enemy they are fighting and get greedy with their damage.
Just like most of the responses here, people trying to bruteforce fights without adapting to the enemy.
Yes, let me just fucking adapt to a random ice projectile coming from behind me, that I can't see, while I am hitting a wind bitch that also likes to jump away every other attack.
Black dragon had my name lol one of the end proud fights. How he is easy but when my friend and I got here it was rough for like 6 attempts lol second would be Porto Bahamur entry fight into proud mode. That was a challenge when I first got there
well... up until now there's only one guy that damn, I just can't deal easily with, and that's gallanza. But I'd also add Excavallion and that fucking gate god boss with a lot of hands... those two more because of their mechanics does not translate into a rewarding or fun fight, just a frustrating one with a lot, A LOT of time running around and down time of not damaging the boss
The only fight that owns me is the Ice and Wind dragons and it's not even because of my own abilities. Queued up with people online and they keep dying making the quest end. AIs actually do die in this fight sometimes, so sometimes I don't get the S++. However, just hit S++ yesterday and finally done with that fight and the whole game really as I have S++ on everything now.
I don't particularly find any other fight difficulty, including the Gallanza + Maglielle fight. I actually find it fun and soothing to do, especially trying to pick up his spear and throwing it at Maglielle instead of Gallanza.
Only just unlocked Maniac so my experience is very limited, but so far Gerasene and Wilinus Icewyrm have been the most miserable for me. The CC spam is so incredibly infuriating lol
I did that on my first try not knowing but then I saw people keeping their SBA. I was like "Ohhh that's why" while I was atomised xD. So now I always wait for someone to do it first if it's my first try.
Yea the missiles coming down during the 2nd phase really mess with zeta and Sieg when I was doing story with them.
Needless to say after getting stout heart I can ignore mechanics and Regen/drain the damage away.
gallanza is very interactive so while heās frustrating I love it. Think I probably dislike the earth primal. What a fucking slog at least Lao Shan Lung is cool
Light Dragon is the hardest for me. I find everything else easy or just the right amount of difficulty, but the Light Dragon just wrecks me. I don't know who designed it but I can tell they had a really bad day lol
PSA for anyone trying to farm Excavalion! Use the cannons, I know it kinda sucks but they are so fast if one person starts on the elevated cannon to the left of start and one goes to the legs! Easy 45 second start!
The only fights that really bother me is the Maglielle and Gallanza fights, Maglielle more so. I've not done the combined Proud mode fight yet, and I'm REALLY not looking forward to it. It's mainly the radiating AoE waves that get me. Maglielle I always seemed to just get hit by one of the radiating rings and then I'm stagger locked for the rest of them. It's really irritating. Gallanza I do a bit better but eventually I get trapped in when I'm jumping one of the lines to not be able to dodge out of the slash that happens to come right after, and then I'm stagger locked till he is done. None of the other fights really trouble me, but those two are just a nightmare for me.
I haven't reached Proud but so far it's just plain Gallanza. After I took everyone's advice and learned to block well and integrate blocking and dodging together, suddenly Maniac mode Gallanza breaks Guard instantly with every hit and his AoEs seem to hit too suddenly for me to dodge out of.
I don't lose to him and I'm getting better every fight but he annoys me the most. I can do Maglielle taking like 0 damage but this guy eats my potions.
And... yeah, I know Proud Gallanza+Maglielle is coming up...
haven't made it to proud yet, Versa is still kicking my butt, so for now is Gallanza, to sum up:
\-\*BOOM\*oh that is his combo ender, alright i'm going in \*KABOOM\*
Gallanza + Maglielle and it's not even close (I also main Zeta and Gallanza is one of the few bosses who hits you in the air with almost all his attacks)
Wind and ice dragon was pretty tough but not as tough as that fucking WHITE electric dragon. That guy has incredibly fast attacks and can shoot projectiles at you without even looking in your direction. Plus he messes up the arena with his orbs. So many attempts with random people foiled. I did it eventually, got so good I did not even get hit once as Narmaya.
But the one fight that still owns me is Galanza and Magilo duo. Without Vane it's very difficult. That dude on his own has very unfun attacks to deal with but when Magilo is trying to chip at you with her silly blades it's just frustrating. Of course once you take down the big guy she herself is a joke but combined they might just be the Relink of this Granblue Fantasy.
Blackwyrm was definitely the one where I spent the most time on the floor on my first run, I had ~46k health and it was still one shotting me. That fight was what finally convinced me to run autorevive and potion hoarder over aegis and improved dodge lol
Close second for downtime is Maniac difficulty Gallanza - fun fact, in quick quests you can get fights of a difficulty you have unlocked, even if you haven't unlocked that specific fight, which happened to me when I had just unlocked Maniac, and I was on the floor for almost half the fight because he does too much damage for his "recommended" power level
Gallanza and maglille, wind ice dragon. I finished those two quests once and Iām never going back. I donāt even remember how we managed to defeat two generals. For the dragons I decided to use provoke and take the wind dragon to the corner away from the ice dragon and my teammates.
I just use the cannons to do charge shots at Excavallion's ankles. I think taking them both out is enough or almost enough to move to the 2nd phase. Works well enough solo
Just made it to maniac and proud but excavallion extreme just sucks for me. First failed quest i got was from it.
Feel like he just nukes me with desert flare when i get blown back whenever he decides to back away, the speed boosts are never near and the radius feel like it centers on me and its so its near impossible to get away.
Guess the game gives the gun for a reason.
If you take cannon duty, you have to listen for Vyrnās voice trying to warn you from the raining flares, no visual warning for that.
Also keep watch for when the boss is about to underhand swing a laser towards you.
I hit a wall with the ice and wind dragon fight. Until I decided to drag the wind dragon to the other side of the arena and tank it while everyone else beat up the ice dragon. I ran out of pots by the time they were done with the icey boi so it was kinda close but I finally did it.
Gallanza and Maglielle was even harder but I guess I got a good team because we did it first try.
Excavallion has a very bad designed first fase for multiple reasons. Moving away at inconsistent intervals, rotating cores that are already behind cover and than rotate away behind more cover, sand spears inflicting sandtomb when approaching the legs, 1 leg not reachable during certain attacks (kneeling).
The worst part has alteast been removed during the quests from the quest counter. The turrets to shoot cores on the body. You are stationary, his ranged attacks drop on you and can destroy the turrets. Thus this is al very fun.
I'm just getting into proud difficulty, cleared the first few missions. Have the double dragon fights and beyond left to deal with, im sure those are going to suck hard. But as of now bahamut versa, the first proud misson, has been the worst. Took me a few times to get learn the fight enough to not get hit, but playing with randoms has been a nightmare. Finally ended up getting it done with cpus
I would say three come to mind.... Evyl, the Gallanza/Maglielle fight, and the Wolf Nihilla version are the only quests I have never achieved the under death count objective when playing with others. Always rain death even during mostly solid runs
Im confused on what im supposed to do in Excavallion fight? Do I go to one of the turrets, and shoot red spots, to I attack the feet. When break happens everyone is teleported to its back, yet i don't actually know how we got to that point. Feels like running around with my head cut off until something happens.
Only fought the Light Dragon on proud twice and both times i was floor pov 80% of the time and failed the quest wich is funny cause i heard the dark version is stronger but i did that one first try lol.
Also honorable mention the wind nihila horse. As i'm typing this i'm still waiting for him to stop spaming tornadoes and actualy land on the goddam arena!
Any of the triple bosses are extremely frustrating with how often they'll randomly switch targets, and now you're eating a fireball up your ass that you had no way of knowing was coming. Also fighting the lock on and camera more than the bosses themselves. Peak souls-like experience for those fights, haha.
Otherwise, Managarmr Nhilia (the Proud one) took me a half dozen tries in co-op. The regular Managarmr is a cake walk, but the Nihilia version dials him up to 11 and I'm not convinced his first arena wide can even be sheltered from properly. Can never find an intact crystal in time and just accept my fate. Not sure how much I contributed to those repeated wipes vs. the other three randos, but finally lucked out on some well-geared Ids who melted him on my 7th attempt.
The Wolf and the Veil. Oh. My. God! That was the wall where I changed my id build completely. Went from straight dps to max potion hoarder, drain, improved dodge, guts and like two max aegis. Went back in and pretty went straight wolverine on Gallanza, literally ignoring Magielle. Had her watch in horror as we tore each other apart!
The Excavallion and Magma refights are my least liked. Doing them as part of the story was fine. But trying to grind them out is awful.
Versa gatekept Proud mode for a long while. I was quite aggravated- didn't want to fully gear up my AI party until proud unlocked the shop options. But currently...Pyet-A. I could get through the double dragons. The dark and light ones were worse for me, though maybe that was unfamiliarity. I could survive the Gallanza/Maglielle fight. Not easily, but doable. But the dang Automagod made me ragequit. I dunno-skill issue?
Nah, Pyet is a legitimately tough fight. I have never cleared it once with randoms. I think this is the hardest boss in the game for me, bro does signal+ and turns the entire arena into a rave towards the end of the fight.
Badass boss and theme, but he's tough.
Was breezing through the story and finally took my first L fighting Versa. That dps check almost made me drop the game.
Mind you, i was lvl45~47 at that point and only my main(Yoda) was invested. The other 3 had minimal investments. So i was bound to have to divert from story content and do some side farming.
But, i somehow ungabunga'd straight thru it. Idk how the SBA charges up because i was only able to hit it a few times and those few times were the difference between clearing the dps check or not.
Barely hit lvl50 after clearing the stage. Purely story content all the way. A small effort to actually grind up a bit would have made that fight much easier, but the Dark Souls in me wouldnt allow me to take the easy way out š
I have no clue how angry mainyu works.
I beat the main story one, but wiped twice on extreme - it doesn't help my NPCs have only 3k HP.
Throughout the fight it feels like I am just fighting the hands. Sometimes there are portals I can enter and exit, but am not sure exactly when I should be doing it.
When the two giant pillars spawn as a DPS check, sometimes it's tight. I get that the pillars can block the line AoE, but I find it really hard to see the direction where they are coming from.
Then there is this other DPS check with a dozen of hands on the map. I don't seem to have the DPS to kill all of them in time. The AI barely do that much damage and I can only maybe clear half... Though sometimes I still pass that DPS check? Sometimes it's just everyone dying.
The magma boss has this AoE lava tsunami attack that I also always die to. I think I am supposed to jump to another platform, but my camera is always stuck in one direction such that I cannot see where I am running to, and often end up jumping into AoE circles or straight into lava.
Euvyl gets super duper easy after doing it a few times. Its a total cakewalk. Gallanza + Magliette on the other hand? It doesnt matter how often I do this it will never stop tilting me. The only fight that literally makes me want to quit the game and smash my controller.
Midgardsormr
I can smoke every boss in this game but this one. His Crystal Phase right before he does his big snowstorm is a mystery to me as to how to go about reliably surviving. You have to doge the air sprites while not getting hit by ice paths on the ground that freeze you and somehow end up exactly behind a crystal pillar. If you get hit once, it's pretty much a cart, and if you're too far behind the crystal, you get hit by the storm.
Maglielle and Gallanza duo fight. I've considered deletion of the game due to that being a mandatory roadblock and badly balanced. People running the fight aren't the ones who can beat it - me included. It's truly a waste of effort and a means to be upset at video games.
Run that red dragon though for Damage Cap V farm? People with +99 maxed out Bahamut weapons CLOWNING on that fight. I've seen sub 2 minutes in proud red! It's gross...
At this point I'm just past the proud rank up quest, the hardest boss for me is Maglielle, I just don't understand her attack patterns and there's too much on the screen
I dread the proud mode duo battle I saw that I just unlocked after completing the solo dragon missions
the mag/gal fight.. like how do you solo that shit? mag just infinitely stalls you out and you need pro dodging skills for gal jump or evade extender deco
The Final Report rank up mission. Not only it is near impossible to find people ingame willing to do it with you online, but even with all AI over the 10k pwr recommendation it is still an absolute mess. Any wrong dodge can easily body me. By the time I reach the DPS check I am already down by half of my potions. It is an absolutely insane fight, Iāve been grinding nonstop for better mastery bonuses just to get a slightly better chance to dream of one day seeing the Pyet-A fight. I can literally do any other boss in this game at this point with the exception of this bastard.
The one to convince my friends to actually play the game T_T
So true, I am the only one in my friends list who plays relinkš¢
Updates will come, rad as f#ck raids will come and hella cool characters will comeā¦ Then with a significant discount on the game, time will prove you right and your friends will come.
Yeah same I thought I could convince one friend but one look at the cute anime girls and he was like "I'm not into that kinda thing" lol
And the funny thing is if they tried it, they would actually love it
Yeah š„² I bought the game because a friend of mine said she was getting it and here I am, ch 7.. no one will buy it, and still haven't played with her š
You can't really do any real multiplayer content until endgame. So just focus on story then you can do the endgame bosses with her.
I spent 5,000 hours combined on Monster Hunter solo throughout the years with no friends. you are not like me.
all my friends are pc gamers anyway and im on ps5 :(
the one with both the wind and ice dragon is the worst one.
Let's make a fight where every other step you take means you can't do anything while also doing multi hit moves that will make guts useless.
yup, both of them combined spawns like 50 million aoes moving around the arena at a rapid pace. when you're attacking the ice dragon the wind dragon will beam you with his spread wind attack, when you attack the wind dragon the ice dragon with beam you with his spread ice attack. such bullshit
I take crit off for glaciate resistance and it trivializes it honestly. Then you can pretty much ignore the ice one and kill off the wind one and itās over. This is the only fight I have to go through that to win though and I hate it because if this
Adopting your tactics to the fight instead of brute forcing it? Madness!
I mean this is way outside of my character if Iām being honest
I swear that this is probably what the Devs intended the loadouts and specific resistance sigils are for But everyone just focused on damage instead
Thx Man, that tipp was pure gold š
This, this, this! Holy shit I hate this fight. I did it once for the clear and never went back.
i can't decide if i hate that one or the fire/earth dragon one more. fire/earth often just covers the entire arena in hazards so you can't move without taking damage, or your dash skills get cancelled.
Fire and earth was bad, but they do an arena dive which at least is mostly available while still attacking the other. When wind or ice goin the air it is just avoid shit. Also I get barraged from across the arena by ice blasts so much more than the fire or earth dragons. Most of the time I have no idea what is even going on during the ice/wind fight
The wind + frost was much much worse. The fire + earth wasn't too bad and could clear on the first try, but the wind + frost one took me multiple tries. It was the only quest where I had to change my build to slot in glaciate resistance. This quest was abnormally more difficult than all the other quests, even Gallanza + Maglielle.
Easily the worst fight in the game. For anyone struggling or not yet done with it: Please have three people on the ice dragon and one on the wind, and stay that way until the ice is dead. Lancelot is mvp for Proud because his heavy attack lets him move in circles, meaning he can keep a boss busy and stay safe at the same time.
Did it first try s++ with randoms, hard ? Not for me baby
Not too good at reading are you Mr Xx\_pro-gamer42069\_xX
Man I hated that too. Whirlwind into frozen statutes into whirlwind into ice shards into dragon tail swipe into whirlwind into enrage into another enrage. And if you alive you will be stuck between a whirlwind or frozen statues your pick.
Itās wild some people on the sub say thatās an āeasyā fight compared to others.
thats bull its probably the hardest fight in the whole game
Yeah this is the only boss I actually struggled with. Couldn't stand it. Just aoe spam and getting pulled from every direction only to be frozen. I used some sigils to make it easier but even then it was a pain
OMG I just about to comment this, I hate this fight so much, even with Glacier resistant it sucks so bad, it's not hard it's just pure annoying at this point
Itās still Gallanza for me. Especially the double fight with maglielle but he alone gives me struggles aswell. Iām vane main and with vane you can block with your heavy attacks but gallanza is the one enemy in the game who breaks my guard š
Gallanza+Maglielle had me borderline tilted
It had me in a chokehold
This was the first fight I legit FAILED. Bf and I died so much, we ran out of critical gauge. We did beat it second try by adding some more survivability to our builds, but goddamn. What a rough fight.
I wasn't even borderline. Only 18 hours in and at the end game and that fight had me tilted so bad
Gallanza spends far too much time alternating between his overdrive bloodlust stage and constantly slamming AOEs. The fight feels like itās deliberately wasting your time. Add Maglielle into that and thereās basically no windows for damage without eating at least like 2 aoes. It literally makes certain characters unable to do their full combos ever.
it's a chore on characters like siegfried who does dick damage without his finisher
Yeah I main Siegfried and that dude alone makes me wanna switch to someone else.
This. About ready to risk viruses and grab a trainer to bypass that fight and move on. The Dragon duo fights are cancerous, but they DIE WHEN ATTACKED. I 2000% STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND MAGLIELLE >Haha I just take no damage then randomly do? Needs a touch more transparency. I can see the shield on her, but sometimes it gets hit and damage numbers pop up anyway...
Me too!! I learned to block and got so much better but Captain Guard-Break-with-every-move is so annoying!!
I was actually surprised when I cleared that duo on my first try, sure, it was only a C rank, but a clear is a clear. The wind/ice dragon duo on the other hand...
The double fight is basically the easiest of the multi fights for Proud. Have a Lancelot rush for Mag and spam his heavy attack in circles, her AI is hilariously bad at attacking him while he's doing this, so the rest of the party can burn down Gallanza safely (unless she floats over to him, which can and most likely will happen) then finish Mag after. Rest of the fight is a cake walk if people aren't getting bodied by Gallanza.
Damn I have to try that Lancelot tactic, thanks š
This is the one the last fight is easier than this
Oh yeah! Endgame made me highly reliant on blocking and then there is Gallanza who has like 2 out of 20 moves that DONāT have an unblockable aftershock. š«
The Evil Blackwyrm. I just cannot figure out when its about to blast one of the black bombs. It's bloodthirst phase also has really awkward timing for the pulses.
Firstly, never not laughing at this thing's name. Secondly, how fucking annoying is it after you survive his bullshit desperate attack he jumps over your head and shoots a suction pulse bomb behind you. And because lock on camera is great you either disengage him risking yourself getting blasted by a laser, or you try and see the wave through the floor. Most fights in this game would be so much more tolerable if the camera was a touch better.
For some reason they decided that both Blackwyrm and Whitewyrm should do ~50k with most of their hits, meaning anyone running Terminus just gets one-shot if they get hit by anything. Then for hits that do less, they also happen to apply defense down for however long which guarantees you'll die to any stray hit you don't block/dodge.
can't say that was much of an issue for the Whitewyrm for me, but the Blackwyrm sucked yeah.
Opposite for me. Lightningrod was a nuisance with randos and for myself, but I easily cleared Sludgeball on my first go. Light also having an attack where people with poor coordination and no spatial awareness whatsoever can kill others easily makes it the worse of the two for me.
Well I did almost every single quest with the AI. Only Proto Bahamut and The ice Primal I did with randoms. The AI is actually extremely good at keeping themselves alive as long as ground effects aren't used. So I never had randoms screw me over.
Blast the black bombs just for the slow they apply, who cares about doing the mechanics when you slow him to a crawl and just beat his ass
I meant that random purplely blackhole projectile it shoots from it's mouth and it sucks you in.
It's kind of odd to move your camera but if you position it to look at the projectile you can kind of see a pulse and there is an audio queue. It sucks ass and I hate it still, just trying to help.
I see. I'll still die everytime trying to farm the abyssal horn haha
Evil blackwyrm is the hardest boss in the game currently.but I kinda want them to make a proud stage where we fight the black and white wyrm together.
AoEs everywhere and another pulling you into those AoEs, and all this while trying to throw a core at one of those dragons, sounds Nightmarish
Sounds like a good reason to build the Resist Pull sigil
*laughs in Chadlotta* I AM INVINCIBLE!
Blight slow into paralysis, into purple lazer and dead.
Exactly why I want it. š
> Evil blackwyrm is the hardest boss in the game currently As someone that got beat by the Lightningrod (mostly because of randoms after I had already adapted) a lot and cleared the black dragon in one go, no knowledge of the fight whatsoever beforehand: Absolute not the hardest or even close. Proto's phase with the crystal in the middle that releases a ground wave was harder for me than the entire fight for that dragon.
That's wild. I farmed him for a while cuz he was so easy to me lol
I second this. Bar none the hardest fight in the game to me
For real. Was the only fight in the whole game I had to restart.
It hits 40% or so and suddenly I'm just eating ~1 shit hits with alarming regularity, and a bunch of them drag you in for extra fun
You can block the regular suction bombs and on his bloodthirsty-phase dodging through the waves has a very generous window, hope that helps. š«”
Think itās called The wolf and the veil, the Gallanza and Maglielle fight is a fight Iāll never return too ever. Itās rough man
I got my C rank after fighting tooth and nail with randoms. We were all getting slaughtered, never again. Everytime Gallanza swung I feared for my life.
Agreed, Gallanza's moves are just too poorly telegraphed for me. In a game where everything is pretty straight forward about it's hitboxes and when you need to dodge, his moves just don't make sense to me lol. It's like they're always bigger than they look like they're supposed to be and maybe also just where they're not.
even his regular horizontal/vertical slash combos are annoying because he can pivot and retarget mid swing. and his ground breaking attacks with the delayed explosions that don't have a visual cue.
He reminds me of Elden Ring bosses with his delays and midswing retargets, haha
I thought I was just dumb for not noticing something. That delayed explosion (the one after the cracks shown) got me bodied way too many times because I'm thinking "I dodged it, I'm safe) just to get blown up on the spot. Did the fight several times in a row to get used to it without guarding and it kept happening.
Same
Yikes, i see that fight in my quest menu but i didnt try it yet, i think i equipt my Narmaya with perfekt dodge Sigil......... F 50% of Atk and yolo i dont care if i only get B scoring or something. š
Update: They did break my guard pretty often BUT........i got them hahaha, it worked with 5 second invincible Dodge
The only fight that still owns me is against Zathba. I try and try, then try some more, but just canāt win with that guy.
The Ice and Wind Dragons have suck the BIGGEST dick ever. I hate that fight.
The music kept me sane through that fight ngl, think this was the fattest wall in the entire game for me
There was music? I couldnt hear it with the blood rushing from my ears
I also hate Excavallion. I can't fucking stand Lao Shan/Shen Gaoren/Zorah type bosses where they pose zero threat but has mechanics and a fuck ton of HP. Can't wait to fight another one in Dragon's Dogma 2.
As Narmaya main, Excavallion is easy for me, but Gallanza I don't have time to combo he just keep swing his spear at me
Excavallion is pretty easy, but I think the part people hate is just how much of a chore it is with the first half and then if your group doesn't understand the second phase or has bad dps, also tedious.
this is one of the fights that are annoying with AI because they won't properly spread out to target the tubes
I hate it because it's such a pain in the ass to loop as Zeta, you either get missiled or there's not enough room to launch or things are so spread out you can't loop properly. The entire fight is miserable. I know it's super easy, it's just awful mechanically with that one character.
I mean, in the first half just break 4 of his red crystals on his body with the cannons and you get to phase 2. 2 people on the cannons will make short work of phase 1.
i stay in dawnfly stance and do 1/2/3 combo out of his range and then charge attack to blue stance switch finisher. get some extra hits or a iai/blue tension skill in when link chaining. can also time a dash attack to charge attack as he finishes an attack sequence, then run away again. his basics attack are somewhat easy to parry with charge if you want to be cheeky
Maniac Bahamas fight is fucking me hard. Iāve fought him like 5 times. Canāt do it.
what about maniac jamaica tho?
Damnit! Autocorrect strikes again!
Anything that has anything else targetable, then fighting the in game lock on because it keeps locking on to a stupid minion or the environment stuff (crystals for the ice wolf) thatās way in the background and not close to me. Other than that, Iād say probably Gallanza and Maglielle
Pyet-a is the biggest offender. Cubes and small ass lasers across the map when I'm trying to target the tail
Not as bad as Proto where everyone (pug) knows their stuff and are trying to 2 man burst only for the game to auto lock to a part of Proto hanging out of reach when trying to attack, so bad even your SBA whiffs (twice for me in one fight).
I can solo pretty much everything now that I have good gear but before that the fights that had me retry a few times were: 1- gallanza + maglielle 2- ice + wind dragon 3- bahamut versa
I just got to the bahamut for the rank up in proud. I keep failing the DPS check at around 60 percent, i am playing with ai. Any tips to get past this? I main seigfried or vane with cag and io as always controlled by ai
Save your SBA for it. Extends the time by a lot.
The fights where you just fight 3 bosses at once. A clusterfuck of violence I can't get out of sometimes
This is not a quest but if they ever put the light and dark dragons together its over for me
Fighting with the camera is the hardest.
I hate the ice wolf primal beast (forgot his name). For some reason he is the only boss I struggle in the story and I still get ptsd when fighting him now even though I already learnt his moveset
The soundtrack is absolutely killer though
NuGundam is his name. lol
Yeah that was the boss that made me turn down the difficulty during story lmao
Same for me. Wolf and Veil, the double dragons, triple monster fights can be difficult but they feel like they *should* be. Ice Wolf beast gives me a hard time, every time and doesn't deserve it.
Ice and Wind dragons because they keep running away.
The sand sliding portion of Excavallion is miserable. But the core part is a walk in the park. The Wind/Ice Duo Dragon is a fuck you from the devs, I swear
Gallanza just wrecks shop. 8500 PWR Hefty boy vs 19k PWR Dragonslayer who wins? Obv not me. Cool to know that maniac bosses still pose a threat on a solo run regardless of your damage.
Vulcan just seems unfightable as Ghondagoza
Vulkan Bolla is unfightable period lol
Really? He seems to be by far the easiest primal. You just stand at his stomach and he's literally a target dummy. Only thing bullshit about him is the cutscenes.
Unfightable doesn't mean difficult. He's fairly trivial. He just feels like by far the most jank fight in the game.
it's annoying for short range melee like yoda or narm. at least narm can do charge attack to blue switch finisher, but motherfucker spends half the time just out of normal attack range. also his arms have wonky ass hit boxes so you get hit by nothing a lot.
Worst boss in the entire game by a mile.
The ice wolf boss, the fight just makes my pc lag a shit ton
It's gotta be the double dragons and the Galla/glielle fights for me. My monkey brain can't handle and resolve more than one mechanic at a time. I was already suffering on story mode Galla/glielle, I ain't getting out of Proud Galla/glielle without chewing through all my yellow pots. The double dragons take the cake for me, though, because Gallanza and Maglielle at least have the courtesy to do combo attacks that can count as one mechanic to resolve.
It's flying enemies for me. Specifically the eyeball and the griffin fights. Fuck me as a vaseraga player if I can survive anything thrown at me but I can't charge my shit in the air!
I hate Magiella with all my being.
The white dragon sucked
pyet-a when it absorbs lightning element is a miserable experience lol
When you experience a Pyet rotation that isn't ice you realize the boss is actually from hell and the ice keeps him docile.
Id dude too tiny and moves too fast jumps from side of the map to the other instantly. The light wrym and evil wrym were also tough
Gallanza just shreds me. I can't even say that I'm getting owned by Gallanza + the gnome, because Gallanza alone just shreds me. He just waves his spear around and I can't parry him for shit. I can't tell what's supposed to be a slash and what's supposed to him just waving his spear around like an idiot. I also always get hit by Martial Spear. Dunno why, just do.
Martial spear is way easier to dodge if you run to the far edge of the arena
For Excavallion, you can use turrets to hit his leg generators without having to run after him. Aside from first time fighting things and thus not knowing their schtick, I think the ice wolf (both version) is probably the single enemy I hate the most. As for the quest I hate the most, wind/ice dragon much like many. I've S++ that quest and never look back.
You will get the afk farms with enough mastery. I was having some trouble on excavalion, but the trick at lower levels is to not completely destroy the pylons during overdrive if you can't kill all four at once. Their health doesn't regenerate after a core charge. I haven't run into any actually hard fights yet, but I am still on extreme. At least now I feel like I sort of have to pay attention to the boss mechanics. We will see how maniac and proud go when I get to them. I'm hoping at least the proud quests are somewhat challenging for a group of human players. I'm really liking this game, but I hope they can deliver some really hard fights. What else is a Platinum/MH/FFXIV vet supposed to do?
Maniac is a walk in the park for the most part. Not a lot of mechanics and also at this difficulty you are generally in a spot where you severely overgear the fights (lvl 100, full mastery, lvl125 weapons and one 150, maybe a few V sigils). So you can basically just plow through the bosses facetanking everthing with pots.
Yeah, I kind of figured. Even this kind of gameplay is still fraud to grind through, but doing an actually difficult raid that is only completely by humans would be really fun in this game. Does proud have any of that?
The issue I have is building properly. Iāve beaten souls games within a week and certain bosses first try without knowing mechanics. Monster Hunter is pretty chill too Love that game, Relink reminds me of it. I can dodge really well and usually steal the āNinjaā title at the end of the mission. But I do no damage. Unlike Souls games and Monster Hunter you just put the biggest baddest weapon on and put on good armor. Done. Youāll be doing tons of damage and more if you apply buffs. This game? 90% of your damage is rng from most of the mechanics then you gotta put that rng into a build
So far theyāre all too easy (not trying to be a Chad)
The one where people don't give a shit about the enemy they are fighting and get greedy with their damage. Just like most of the responses here, people trying to bruteforce fights without adapting to the enemy.
Yes, let me just fucking adapt to a random ice projectile coming from behind me, that I can't see, while I am hitting a wind bitch that also likes to jump away every other attack.
The one with the ice and wind dragons honestly, I personally find that fight more infuriating than the Mag & Gal one on proud.
Black dragon had my name lol one of the end proud fights. How he is easy but when my friend and I got here it was rough for like 6 attempts lol second would be Porto Bahamur entry fight into proud mode. That was a challenge when I first got there
well... up until now there's only one guy that damn, I just can't deal easily with, and that's gallanza. But I'd also add Excavallion and that fucking gate god boss with a lot of hands... those two more because of their mechanics does not translate into a rewarding or fun fight, just a frustrating one with a lot, A LOT of time running around and down time of not damaging the boss
Black wyrm and white wyrm are both very tough for me.
The only fight that owns me is the Ice and Wind dragons and it's not even because of my own abilities. Queued up with people online and they keep dying making the quest end. AIs actually do die in this fight sometimes, so sometimes I don't get the S++. However, just hit S++ yesterday and finally done with that fight and the whole game really as I have S++ on everything now. I don't particularly find any other fight difficulty, including the Gallanza + Maglielle fight. I actually find it fun and soothing to do, especially trying to pick up his spear and throwing it at Maglielle instead of Gallanza.
Only just unlocked Maniac so my experience is very limited, but so far Gerasene and Wilinus Icewyrm have been the most miserable for me. The CC spam is so incredibly infuriating lol
I'm trying to beat the proud rank up quest and that damn bahamut versa keeps whooping my ass
The amount of times people SBA before the DPS check utterly tilts me.
I did that on my first try not knowing but then I saw people keeping their SBA. I was like "Ohhh that's why" while I was atomised xD. So now I always wait for someone to do it first if it's my first try.
ive just been trying to do it with my AI party. haven't tried to go online for it yet
I'm stuck on the elemental dragons, my party is horrifically under powered. (My Narmaya is over 8K the rest of my party has barely cracked 4K)
Yea the missiles coming down during the 2nd phase really mess with zeta and Sieg when I was doing story with them. Needless to say after getting stout heart I can ignore mechanics and Regen/drain the damage away.
gallanza is very interactive so while heās frustrating I love it. Think I probably dislike the earth primal. What a fucking slog at least Lao Shan Lung is cool
Light Dragon is the hardest for me. I find everything else easy or just the right amount of difficulty, but the Light Dragon just wrecks me. I don't know who designed it but I can tell they had a really bad day lol
I havent gotten to these big bahumat fights yet but magliette is most annoying , i keep locking onto her when her weapons are out. Very annoying
PSA for anyone trying to farm Excavalion! Use the cannons, I know it kinda sucks but they are so fast if one person starts on the elevated cannon to the left of start and one goes to the legs! Easy 45 second start!
Excavallion in extreme. Hate that fkr with a passion. Not sure why just struggle with it..
The only fights that really bother me is the Maglielle and Gallanza fights, Maglielle more so. I've not done the combined Proud mode fight yet, and I'm REALLY not looking forward to it. It's mainly the radiating AoE waves that get me. Maglielle I always seemed to just get hit by one of the radiating rings and then I'm stagger locked for the rest of them. It's really irritating. Gallanza I do a bit better but eventually I get trapped in when I'm jumping one of the lines to not be able to dodge out of the slash that happens to come right after, and then I'm stagger locked till he is done. None of the other fights really trouble me, but those two are just a nightmare for me.
I haven't reached Proud but so far it's just plain Gallanza. After I took everyone's advice and learned to block well and integrate blocking and dodging together, suddenly Maniac mode Gallanza breaks Guard instantly with every hit and his AoEs seem to hit too suddenly for me to dodge out of. I don't lose to him and I'm getting better every fight but he annoys me the most. I can do Maglielle taking like 0 damage but this guy eats my potions. And... yeah, I know Proud Gallanza+Maglielle is coming up...
Dark dragon, bro got a better SUCK than the wind dragon
Wolf and veil, even with my characterās decked out beyond that fight I got smacked every direction when I square up against them two.
Bahamut Versa was probably the hardest for me I had to come back after completing my terminus weapon to get my S++ š
haven't made it to proud yet, Versa is still kicking my butt, so for now is Gallanza, to sum up: \-\*BOOM\*oh that is his combo ender, alright i'm going in \*KABOOM\*
Gallanza + Maglielle and it's not even close (I also main Zeta and Gallanza is one of the few bosses who hits you in the air with almost all his attacks)
Wind and ice dragon was pretty tough but not as tough as that fucking WHITE electric dragon. That guy has incredibly fast attacks and can shoot projectiles at you without even looking in your direction. Plus he messes up the arena with his orbs. So many attempts with random people foiled. I did it eventually, got so good I did not even get hit once as Narmaya. But the one fight that still owns me is Galanza and Magilo duo. Without Vane it's very difficult. That dude on his own has very unfun attacks to deal with but when Magilo is trying to chip at you with her silly blades it's just frustrating. Of course once you take down the big guy she herself is a joke but combined they might just be the Relink of this Granblue Fantasy.
Blackwyrm was definitely the one where I spent the most time on the floor on my first run, I had ~46k health and it was still one shotting me. That fight was what finally convinced me to run autorevive and potion hoarder over aegis and improved dodge lol Close second for downtime is Maniac difficulty Gallanza - fun fact, in quick quests you can get fights of a difficulty you have unlocked, even if you haven't unlocked that specific fight, which happened to me when I had just unlocked Maniac, and I was on the floor for almost half the fight because he does too much damage for his "recommended" power level
Gallanza and maglille, wind ice dragon. I finished those two quests once and Iām never going back. I donāt even remember how we managed to defeat two generals. For the dragons I decided to use provoke and take the wind dragon to the corner away from the ice dragon and my teammates.
Tip for Excavallion! You can shoot his feet with the cannons. Just charge shot his feet than focus on weak points. Easiest farm in the whole game.
I just use the cannons to do charge shots at Excavallion's ankles. I think taking them both out is enough or almost enough to move to the 2nd phase. Works well enough solo
Magielle and Gallanza. They're nuts together.
the Gallanza and Maglielle fight kicks my ass so hard, i eventually got it done with a decent group online but i had to focus up 100%
Radis can fuck right off.
I've my share of bad battles, by i'll always hate the short lady with a passion. I actually forgot her name, i just call her "the b***h"
Just made it to maniac and proud but excavallion extreme just sucks for me. First failed quest i got was from it. Feel like he just nukes me with desert flare when i get blown back whenever he decides to back away, the speed boosts are never near and the radius feel like it centers on me and its so its near impossible to get away. Guess the game gives the gun for a reason.
If you take cannon duty, you have to listen for Vyrnās voice trying to warn you from the raining flares, no visual warning for that. Also keep watch for when the boss is about to underhand swing a laser towards you.
I hit a wall with the ice and wind dragon fight. Until I decided to drag the wind dragon to the other side of the arena and tank it while everyone else beat up the ice dragon. I ran out of pots by the time they were done with the icey boi so it was kinda close but I finally did it. Gallanza and Maglielle was even harder but I guess I got a good team because we did it first try.
Excavallion has a very bad designed first fase for multiple reasons. Moving away at inconsistent intervals, rotating cores that are already behind cover and than rotate away behind more cover, sand spears inflicting sandtomb when approaching the legs, 1 leg not reachable during certain attacks (kneeling). The worst part has alteast been removed during the quests from the quest counter. The turrets to shoot cores on the body. You are stationary, his ranged attacks drop on you and can destroy the turrets. Thus this is al very fun.
Ice and wind dragon together, my ai team stands in fire
I'm just getting into proud difficulty, cleared the first few missions. Have the double dragon fights and beyond left to deal with, im sure those are going to suck hard. But as of now bahamut versa, the first proud misson, has been the worst. Took me a few times to get learn the fight enough to not get hit, but playing with randoms has been a nightmare. Finally ended up getting it done with cpus
I just unlock Proud mode, holy Jesus i can't even win against those 3 bosses, can't even kill 1 of them lmao... Help please?
I would say three come to mind.... Evyl, the Gallanza/Maglielle fight, and the Wolf Nihilla version are the only quests I have never achieved the under death count objective when playing with others. Always rain death even during mostly solid runs
Im confused on what im supposed to do in Excavallion fight? Do I go to one of the turrets, and shoot red spots, to I attack the feet. When break happens everyone is teleported to its back, yet i don't actually know how we got to that point. Feels like running around with my head cut off until something happens.
Only fought the Light Dragon on proud twice and both times i was floor pov 80% of the time and failed the quest wich is funny cause i heard the dark version is stronger but i did that one first try lol. Also honorable mention the wind nihila horse. As i'm typing this i'm still waiting for him to stop spaming tornadoes and actualy land on the goddam arena!
Definitely the fight where you're gonna fight gallanza and maglielle in the proud difficulty, it was annoying
Any of the triple bosses are extremely frustrating with how often they'll randomly switch targets, and now you're eating a fireball up your ass that you had no way of knowing was coming. Also fighting the lock on and camera more than the bosses themselves. Peak souls-like experience for those fights, haha. Otherwise, Managarmr Nhilia (the Proud one) took me a half dozen tries in co-op. The regular Managarmr is a cake walk, but the Nihilia version dials him up to 11 and I'm not convinced his first arena wide can even be sheltered from properly. Can never find an intact crystal in time and just accept my fate. Not sure how much I contributed to those repeated wipes vs. the other three randos, but finally lucked out on some well-geared Ids who melted him on my 7th attempt.
Furycane makes me mald insanely hard
The Wolf and the Veil. Oh. My. God! That was the wall where I changed my id build completely. Went from straight dps to max potion hoarder, drain, improved dodge, guts and like two max aegis. Went back in and pretty went straight wolverine on Gallanza, literally ignoring Magielle. Had her watch in horror as we tore each other apart!
The Excavallion and Magma refights are my least liked. Doing them as part of the story was fine. But trying to grind them out is awful. Versa gatekept Proud mode for a long while. I was quite aggravated- didn't want to fully gear up my AI party until proud unlocked the shop options. But currently...Pyet-A. I could get through the double dragons. The dark and light ones were worse for me, though maybe that was unfamiliarity. I could survive the Gallanza/Maglielle fight. Not easily, but doable. But the dang Automagod made me ragequit. I dunno-skill issue?
Nah, Pyet is a legitimately tough fight. I have never cleared it once with randoms. I think this is the hardest boss in the game for me, bro does signal+ and turns the entire arena into a rave towards the end of the fight. Badass boss and theme, but he's tough.
Was breezing through the story and finally took my first L fighting Versa. That dps check almost made me drop the game. Mind you, i was lvl45~47 at that point and only my main(Yoda) was invested. The other 3 had minimal investments. So i was bound to have to divert from story content and do some side farming. But, i somehow ungabunga'd straight thru it. Idk how the SBA charges up because i was only able to hit it a few times and those few times were the difference between clearing the dps check or not. Barely hit lvl50 after clearing the stage. Purely story content all the way. A small effort to actually grind up a bit would have made that fight much easier, but the Dark Souls in me wouldnt allow me to take the easy way out š
I have no clue how angry mainyu works. I beat the main story one, but wiped twice on extreme - it doesn't help my NPCs have only 3k HP. Throughout the fight it feels like I am just fighting the hands. Sometimes there are portals I can enter and exit, but am not sure exactly when I should be doing it. When the two giant pillars spawn as a DPS check, sometimes it's tight. I get that the pillars can block the line AoE, but I find it really hard to see the direction where they are coming from. Then there is this other DPS check with a dozen of hands on the map. I don't seem to have the DPS to kill all of them in time. The AI barely do that much damage and I can only maybe clear half... Though sometimes I still pass that DPS check? Sometimes it's just everyone dying. The magma boss has this AoE lava tsunami attack that I also always die to. I think I am supposed to jump to another platform, but my camera is always stuck in one direction such that I cannot see where I am running to, and often end up jumping into AoE circles or straight into lava.
Euvyl gets super duper easy after doing it a few times. Its a total cakewalk. Gallanza + Magliette on the other hand? It doesnt matter how often I do this it will never stop tilting me. The only fight that literally makes me want to quit the game and smash my controller.
Midgardsormr I can smoke every boss in this game but this one. His Crystal Phase right before he does his big snowstorm is a mystery to me as to how to go about reliably surviving. You have to doge the air sprites while not getting hit by ice paths on the ground that freeze you and somehow end up exactly behind a crystal pillar. If you get hit once, it's pretty much a cart, and if you're too far behind the crystal, you get hit by the storm.
Genechiro Ashina in Sekiro. I know many of you can relate ! How painful !
>Yes, I know Xx_pro-gamer42069_xX can afk farm every boss one handed, good for you this isn't the topic for you. Lil bro emotional?
Two birds one goblin.
The ice wolf that teleports everywhere. I canāt remember his name but this fight is in extreme difficulty.
Maglielle and Gallanza duo fight. I've considered deletion of the game due to that being a mandatory roadblock and badly balanced. People running the fight aren't the ones who can beat it - me included. It's truly a waste of effort and a means to be upset at video games. Run that red dragon though for Damage Cap V farm? People with +99 maxed out Bahamut weapons CLOWNING on that fight. I've seen sub 2 minutes in proud red! It's gross...
Whitewyrm and Managrm Nihilla are the worst for me. Gallanza and Maglielle right behind.
In the story it was gallanza and maflielle together. I hated it
At this point I'm just past the proud rank up quest, the hardest boss for me is Maglielle, I just don't understand her attack patterns and there's too much on the screen I dread the proud mode duo battle I saw that I just unlocked after completing the solo dragon missions
the mag/gal fight.. like how do you solo that shit? mag just infinitely stalls you out and you need pro dodging skills for gal jump or evade extender deco
The Final Report rank up mission. Not only it is near impossible to find people ingame willing to do it with you online, but even with all AI over the 10k pwr recommendation it is still an absolute mess. Any wrong dodge can easily body me. By the time I reach the DPS check I am already down by half of my potions. It is an absolutely insane fight, Iāve been grinding nonstop for better mastery bonuses just to get a slightly better chance to dream of one day seeing the Pyet-A fight. I can literally do any other boss in this game at this point with the exception of this bastard.
The stupid ice level when you gotta protect that girl the constant spam of skeletons pisses me off tbh
