once i learned that you can just strafe around it to avoid all of the attacks it became a piece of cake

Yup  did you do any other bosses? I just beat one. A familiar friend lol 

I got a +10 sword

@Twinblade hahaha now I know what you mean. 

Just beat it. Took me about 5 tries. 

@Twinblade ha, I just beat who you were talking about - barely lol. Cunt to the cunt power lol

edit: btw, this whole level OWNS! Incredible atmosphere. Puts a lot of horror games to shame.

Yeah but there’s another one after that gave me a hard time until I found out that there’s a way to cheese that fight pretty easily.

I just found the third stargazer. Was it the creature before it? 

@Twinblade were you taking about the robber? What a cunt lol. I got her, though.

Make sure you kill the those big fuckers with the wrecking ball arms in the swamp. Each of them gives you a quartz.

Shit, I’ll do that. I just nuked the level 8 boss with health to spare and my spectre was still alive

The shield legion arm made all the difference for me. I would just pull it out and whenever he charged I would eat a small amount of damage but would remain on my feet and not get stun locked.

 

And don't forget about Vigor (Stamina) that is also a pretty vital stat. I try to keep both Vitality and Vigor on par with each other (I have 21 in both atm).

Nice man!  I have that shield. I’ll equip it.  I may reallocate my arm skills to that. Btw, I get 2200 damage with just one fable charge, 6600 with 3  I’m going to redo my tree so I can get a 4th. I’m going to grind a bit more by going through older areas, searching for shit I missed ( have only  found  6 quartz). I don’t just want to beat that boss, I want to nuke him lol.

@-GD-Xwow  I woke up this morning and on my first attempt, after making some very small changes to my build last night, I managed to beat it.

I respek’d and I’m getting some massive damage. Almost got him too on my first shot this morning!  Motility + technique build > all. I just need more health now lol. He killed me with a combo lol. I’ll grind out 5 levels to put towards vitality (only have 15 lol). I got 30 on both mot/tech. 800+ base damage

Ill have to try the fire one again. I remember it being really weak and not great against normal enemies.

 

My Seven Coil greatsword is still not that strong but I Just equipped the ring that gives you +4 to motivity so Im hoping that will help a bit. Thats the one downside with the weapons you get with boss ergos, you can't upgrade them that many times and they also require a different set of materials that are extremely difficult to come by.

I’m going to read up on potential things I most likely missed, and then decide if I want to go back to a beefier build. I’m watching a lot of vids where peeps are getting 1,500 + regular hits, and like 4,500 + with weapon arts. I’m getting a fraction of that.  I think I’m using the skill tree properly, but I don’t know.

What Legion Arm are you rocking btw? I just maxed out the gun one. Since there's no magic or ranged weapons I think having a ranged option even if limited can be handy. 

I have the flamethrower, which is pretty godly against this boss. My sword sucks (I can’t get any half moonstones to bring it to +8 (stuck at +6) That’s what’s fucking me up, I greatly enjoy the advanced build, but I may respec tomorrow. I was getting 800+ damage with my screwdriver + dance sword handle combo when I was balanced. But it’s too short against bosses. I kind of messed up with the swords. I thought there would be way more halfmoons by now (only found 4).

The worst part is having to do that first phase over and over again. I still fucking hate this type of design more than anything else  

Yup. It’s getting annoying. 

Just now, Twinblade said:

 

well after a few attempts my spectre and I managed to get him down to half health before we got destroyed. There must be some easier way to dodge or block that charge attack, because if you get caught in it you're almost certainly guaranteed to die.

I had him down to his last chunk. I think I figured out a way.

I wish the difficulty in this game was more consistent. The chap 6 boss was tough, 7 was a cakewalk, and now 8 sounds unreasonably difficult and unfair.

Maybe you’ll think differently. I know some peeps hate him as much as me, though. Some say it’s tougher than the final boss lol.

ugh. Im right before that boss.

the first half is fine. His charge attack, in the second, will stun lock you. 

The boss in chapter 8 SUCKS lol. I even did a respec for this mofo. Makes Orphan of Kos feel easy. I’m level 72, so maybe I need to grind a bit. The scaling is bizarre in this game. A “strength” build basically sucks. Balance, dexterity and advanced (a more elaborate bloodtinge) seem to be the way to go. 

@Twinblade the boss in chapter 8

That actually worked  I avoided using the throwables in the first phase because I thought they would be more useful during the 2nd phase. Im also constantly worried about wasting them unless I know im in a good position during the battle, because I don't want to have to grind to buy more If I die.

 

Also im using the wishstone that decreases the damage your specter receives. Is the one that heals them more effective? 
 

Edit: this game seems really long btw. It looks like I have at least 4 areas left.

I haven’t tried that wishstone yet. I believe there are 4 more main areas, so I’m about 2/3ds in.

Im really not enthusiastic about that. If this game just had a average difficulty level I would be enjoying it more. I especially can't stand

 

  Hide contents

these 2 phase boss fights. Probably my least favorite thing in gaming in general. Im at the King of Puppets boss fight and having to beat his first phase every single time before getting to the 2nd form just feels like an annoying waste of time.

 

Boss in 7 only has one health bar, but he hits hard af.

Hearing great things about Mike Flannagan's new Netflix series. IGN just gave it a 10 and it currently has a 100% on RT.

 

 

 

I hope it’s better than Midnight Mass. what a snoozefest. 

@Twinblade the boss in chapter 7 gave me a good challenge

The soundtrack in the game is surprisingly good btw. The record tracks = 

 

edit: man that 5th boss is just straight BS with those extremely quick attacks with such huge arcs.

I just beat the 4th world boss which really tested my skills (and patience ). This bad ass greatsword I got made all the difference, especially after a few upgrades:

 

 damn, I need to cash in my rare ergo 

8 would be great.
