One tip that makes the fight a lot more consistent - always roll towards the attack, not away, especially on the shockwaves. Make sure you roll towards the boss. When he's swiping left and right, roll towards the sword. This way your hitbox will be in contact with the hurt box for fewer frames, and your immunity frames are more likely to cover it. One additional thing, in terms of build for this boss, health regen is very strong because it's quite easy to dodge parts of the attack chains, but it happens a lot that the transitions between the phases catch you off guard. But the boss never combos directly after this. So if you can passively regen the damage from that one hit, you do not need to heal. Final tip, this boss's head is huge, it's really easy to hit for good weakspot damage. If you use a good long range DPS option with a powerful mod like Crescent Bow or Nightfall, you can use Faerin's Sigil to have very high uptime on your mod, and you can absolutely shred this boss. With a good DPS setup, you can actually transition into the second phase in like 15 seconds since you get a window of free damage right at the start of the fight.
Yup roll forward is such a big deal lol I used nightfall +9 with hunter gunslinger to beat him akaris war band with the ring that gives you more invulnerability on your rolls is super clutch
Nice job! ..Anyone struggling (Xbox seriesX) on Survivor, The Vulcan mini-gun (not Flame) shreds this boss in less than 20s in phase 1! Use it again in stage 2 and the complete battle should be over in 5 min. or less! Practice and learn this boss's attack patterns first so you will know when to dodge. Alot of people think and go for the Life Heart ,but the Shield Heart worked best for me! The boss has to penetrate the shield then your life as opposed to just your life allowing more time to take damage. My build, Primary: Dog Handler lvl 10 + Sub: Engineer lvl 8 : Shield Heart (8) cracked Mod/ordinary Mod duration/mod + skill cast - (weapons) Wrangler 1860 +15 /Nebula+7 - Amulet: Ankh of Power (15% damage) - Rings: Burden of the Audacious (Dodge healing) Constant Variable Ring(20% range damage) Tightly Wound Coil (shield gain 10% max health) Generating Band (regen 3% health with active shield) + 60min health Regen potion from Mudtooth. The Vulcan mini-gun can be finicky initiating with LB/RT ,but you'll get it down. Phase 1: Use a heart shield as you walk into the fight and the Vulcan mini-gun. In Phase 2: Activate the Vulcan gun whenever the boss gives you the first opportunity. If you die, the dog will revive you once! You don't have to be all that skilled. Use the shield potions and dodge and get in a few shots if you like and watch this boss go down! I was left with 2 Shield Hearts before the last surprise attack after the cut scene so be ready! It only took me 3 tries to defeat this boss using this build. I was playing real sloppy and not at my best and probably would have had more Shield Hearts left, but nevertheless still got the job done. Remember the Dog handler as 1st class then engineer as sub class. If vice-versa then the dog will be unable to revive you if you die ,and it's back to square one. ..Also FYI: The Dog Handler +The Wrangler 1860 + Stasis Mod combined with Nebula weapon leveled up will destroy anything and all bosses in the whole game except for this last boss and one other boss, I can't remember atm. Hope this helps all struggling! Never give up! Keep fighting and you will prevail!
Just wanted to say, love the remnant coverage.... And as a sniper this fight was so much easier as his face is right up in front of you.... Once you get the audio and visual down its just a ton of fun. I dragged my two buddys through this fight after they both died right as we got to phase 2... And i got to solo his full phase 2 3 player health bar by myself 😭 the music starts to get so damn epic as you go and was so crazy exhilarating... I know the fights a little crazy but im glad they made it
I would say genichiro in sekiro was one of my hardest bosses to learn. Because I'm an idiot and refused to spam block and wanted to deflect every hit perfectly. Learning his 8 hit combo was painstakingly long but once I did it was so satisfying. To this day no game has ever delivered the boss fights that Sekiro does. No BS stamina bar holding you back. From software delivered a combat system that allows the player to react against every single move without anything holding the player back like a stamina bar. The combat system in sekiro is just so good. Such a satisfying game to play and to this day no game has ever delivered for me personally what sekiro did and has to this day. It happened to be what I was playing before Remnant 2 came out. I play it multiple times a year. This boss's second phase though in Remnant 2 Annihilation did give me some troubles. Then I turned the music down in the settings and was able to run off the audio cues instead of only visually seeing them. Made a big difference for me
@SmileBe4Death that is part of it. I was running a challenger build with the starter shotgun and pistol which did not make things easier, but it's that second phase that is just insane. Doing adventure mode now to get better range weapons
Glad someone with TV's skillset has the same feedback on this boss as I did. It's not tuned well at all, for all the reasons mentioned in the video. I'm watching/liking all of the variety videos produced by Destiny content creators to ensure they can move on from that shit game
overload is an understatement and not to mention or go of on the color scheme, just makes my eyes bleed and my head explode! think it is a bad fight compared to the rest of the game. thanks for the nice breakdown!
Hey TV long time destiny viewer, so glad to see you playing this game! It's amazing from the fights to the builds and the secrets. Even the secrets hidden behind secrets. This game is the most fun I've had in years.
One of my big issues with this boss is that Short Range Weapons (often coupled with heavier armor, hence slower dodges) just don't seem to be what this fight was built or balanced for. A long range weapon with light armor felt like what this fight was balanced for. I only had my Bulldog at +15, since it did just fine for every other boss until now - but nope. I had to go back and get a nightfall+3 and switch to Leto's Amulet. Never has a game punished me as much for playing a close range build *after offering it to me as a starter class*.
Im not a melee build but I completely agree. One of these reasons is due to their immense love for flying enemies. I started as handler and quickly realized the biggest downside to the very good boy was that he cant do anything to flying enemies besides taunt them. Sometimes theyll come to ground level but very rarely. Honestly, I find some of the ground enemies to be much beefier and harder to deal with most the time. They also put me in a sense of “do everything right or you die” and I love that.
I used bulldog and melted him, there are quite a few solid close range opportunities to unload that shotgun right in his face. Just saying it worked for me
Beat it solo and its best way as health bar is not that big. Running Engineer with a handler doggie for extra healing. Fight took about 10 minutes I think. But phase 2 is the worst designed phase of any boss I have ever played in souls type game. When I beat it wasnt happy just happy it over. But the game as a whole is best non FromSoft soulsy game I have ever played
Great in-depth guide, TV! I'm glad you point out the audio cues. I actually needed to totally turn off the game music and keep the sound fx all the way up which helped me dramatically. I run a thrilling glass cannon build so I beat this with Hunter + Gunslinger using the Hunter's Shroud and Sidewinder abilities.
Just beat him today with a friend on veteran. #1 game changer which I HIGHLY recommend is turning the music volume off to hear the dodge cues. Also, switching your rig or console in options to performance mode to get the best frames. After learning the dodge cues, 1st phase is easy and 2nd phase just takes a little practice. Stack ranged flame damage too if you can. After 2nd phase it’s an easy 20 second run around weak enemies.
I really enjoy this boss, sure it can be alot at times in terms of what's on the screen, but the devs knew this and put VERY clear sound queues in for each attack, very smart.
Beat this fight solo adventure last night. I was running an engineer and summon build with soul link so I was constantly regaining health. Without this build I definitely would've died way more. This fight is insane
hes got massive health regen and cheesy lightning gun for the orbs.. that alone makes a huge difference.. i didnt watch a guide when i killed him last night.. the orbs were a pain with my bonemaw and and star shot.. mainly not having enough bullets loaded up when the time came..
This boss is taking me ages because of the phase switch, but it SO CLEVER, no matter how hard it is I cannot argue that this boss goes hard with well done mechanics
genuinely surprised gunfire didn't put a warning for photosensitive people in the game, I honestly can't see shit in this boss fight and the other one on root earth where it just randomly teleported in an extremely glitchy way
Dude, I just focused on the "shin" audio clue and I killed him in no time. Actualy third try. Thanks a lot!!!! By the way, if you turn the music down is WAY better
There's a phase 2? I haven't even managed a quarter of his health yet and you're telling me there's a phase 2? Oh God 😂😭 I'm going to have to come back to this video after I give myself a few shots after getting the phase 2 consistently.
I knew the last boss was going to be shitty when the bosses before him was named venom and cancer 😂😂but bleed bulid is really good its just 2nd phase crashes my game sometimes too much
As someone who doesnt play these types of games at all this is where i had to end the game. Just couldn't do it. Im honestly proud i made it that far. Hardest game ive ever played for sure
thanks for the tip with the music. I really dont like this fight at all.. I have p 1 down but in p2 it just seems totally random. I get hit allthough i dodge etc. The least fun fight of all.
I killed him last night but this boss is just cheap AF imo.. people complain about others bosses in this game but from I've played the other bosses are fine.. I have problems with this guy tho!
Just beat it 2 players in apocalypse mode and oh god there is so much going on but the pattern becomes clearer each time we tried to beat it. Took us 5-6 hours over 2 days to beat it but we felt so great afterwards, now onto hardcore mode to get the savior weapon and we are hoping for the best !
I must have fought this boss 20-25 times. More than any boss in a long time. Really since sakiro has a boss given me this much trouble. His first phase I was able to know hit after just a few tries. But then that second phase when he starts teleporting you back and forth. That took some getting used to, to say the least LOL I'll never forget going to roll Dodge the Dragon just to be teleported exactly at that moment into the phase 2 section and instead of rolling I jumped off of the small square you fight on. It was the first time I got the boss's health under his last third. LOL I was pissed. The good thing is I came back and spanked him the very next fight. Needless to say now I can no hit 1st phase and most of the second. The fight is a little bit of BS. He attacks so fast and so frequently and it takes the players so long to reload and heal. It can be frustrating at times but just stick with it and learn his moveset because really he doesn't have that many moves and he becomes easy. There is a physical and audio cue before he does anything. Turn the music down in the settings and you're good to go
My build through this whole game was beam rifle and melee mostly melee so this boss was like oh you now need to go build another +20 set that will actually reach him
Here is a tip that helped me a ton: Turn off the music, about 95% of the boss' attacks have a sound cue before they hit, and sometimes the music is just another distraction on top of all the shit going on the screen. It will simplify your life.
yeah definitely not the most fun boss to be up against but man was it rewarding defeating her and funny part is if the rumor is true annihilation was nicknamed the root broodmother according to a discord rumor, and second was a theory saying this could be a copy or evil version of clementine we go up against due to the root earth dimension timeline, if your into the lore of the remnant franchise
tbh i dont really like using the enigma. part of it is like, a point of pride (it was an OP meta weapon and now its just a meta weapon), and the other part is that i just think it doesnt sound very good. if it had like, the distinctive tesla coil *buzz*, then i'd probably be interested, but it sorta just sizzles or smth, i tried it out, and i didnt like it in any event, im also, for fun, running a build that's more for aesthetics than actual, like, mechanical performance. basically, crossbow with skewer, double barrel with blood draw, and an armor set to tie it all under the theme "space witch hunter" (navigator helm, academic torso, bruiser gloves, red widow boots), and as you may have noticed, the weapons i chose, not exactly too good for dealing with multiple homing bombs. i do run engineer so i usually just plop down a gatling sentry and leave them to it, but i wonder if theres a better way that doesnt involve switching in the enigma?
This boss borderline ruins the whole game. If you play co-op and you have ANY latency, it is pretty much unbeatable with the current, sub-optimal netcode.
We gave up, there is too much going on with this fight. It's driving me nuts. Elden ring had good boss fights where you just could focus on bosses. This is an overload of effects, lightning and what not, how can you focus? I am done with the game, what's the point if you can't finish the last boss? Also i liked the first Remnant way more, it had more content. I like this game, a lot, but the last boss makes me never touch it again...
This game was intended to be played with people. But I honestly found fighting bosses way easier solo. Less people with chances of messing up. What are you gonna do. Just leave your buddy dead the whole fight?
Yes I thought about using that but I wanted to learn the boss so when I'm playing on apocalypse I don't have to rely on some mechanic to get me to the fight. I can do it with Dodge so I decided not to use it. Took me quite a few times to learn the second phase because of the teleporting and not realizing he was always teleporting between combos LOL
I have given up on this boss and went back to adventure mode. I honestly can’t see the boss between all the crap floating on screen and all the red and black tones. Sensory overload is what it really is. Needs a fix
Tried to fight this mofo for like 3 hours, i got to phase 2 at second try but god damn i was getting exhausted with those phase 2 attacks. Couldn't do it, im not a souls player and never will, the difficulty is something i dont really appreciate but i understand many like it more than just swinging till death like in witcher 3 lol The whole game was fun overall, and for a souls noob like me i can say i've gotten pretty far. Will try this boss again tomorrow but i think i'll leave my gloves on the floor and call it a day Lmao But what a game that is! Tons of fun
Try that one on apocalypse. Kills you in two hits with 80 percent damage reduction. The only chance you have is to memorise all attacks or reaching the flow state.
Maybe hardest boss ive fought in my adult life of gaming. Haven't come close to bottom 1/4 bar of phase 1. Gonns have to switch from offensive to just Dodge focused.
In my opinion they should nerf the second phase there’s too much going on and there’s too much red everywhere and the transitions are just horrible people can’t even process what’s going on bc it’s way too much lol
I heard there was a Phase 2 and celebrated after beating him, I ended up frantically trying to shoot him in Phase 3 and almost got killed lol. I think the key to this fight is to get used to the transitions and disco lights in phase 2 😂
I’m sure you have been asked this before, but is there a window to your right? And what the hell do you look at every once in a while? Is there a neighbour there staring at you
After 3-4 hours I’m now getting easily past the first phase. But I’m not ready for second phase. Out of ammo, low health. So I have no time to learn the mechanics in the second phase. Also have the feeling I’m not doing enough damage.
meanwhile i played entire game as handler and in this boss fight my maxed out handler doggie is watching and cheering with popcorn. now i got blocked and force to switch. entire build who served me well in boss fight, and especially this one final, is trash
start nie charactwr with high noon gunslinger. You will see The difference .destroying thersflu bossem with Pure dmg. Btw new game gives you 50% more scrap item.
@@ShawnC07 th-cam.com/video/S5WfhmCtz0Y/w-d-xo.html final boss phase 2 in 4 seconds. Who needs to dodge annoying abilities and learn patterns, gets frustrated, get smashed with tank healing build and dogg who watching with popcorn
Not really a fan of this fight either as the second phase is very glitchy and choppy. I understand what they were trying to do but the change back and forth is too quick, I think if the fight paused for a second as it changes forms it would make it better.. Still an amazing game
I managed to kill him while failing to dodge almost anything, but I also play on easiest. And I also had the "fingergun" and the submachinegun with the fire mod. The fight certainly didn't last anywhere this long. But I guess this is on harder difficulty.
I couldn't beat him so I went on adventure mode and did some improvements on my character. I was able to beat him after 2 days of upgrading. How do I fight him again?
That glitch crap annoys the hell out of me and I kind of miss the final boss from the first game where it at least saves your progress through phase 1 so you start Phase 2 right away as long as you don't leave the area and continue. This fight just feels like it should be a Nightmare fight, not for starting out.
first part is easy. all his attacks have sound cues and if you roll once u hear them youll be good. 2nd part is a different story i cant even tell whats hitting me half the time 😂
It’s not as bad as it looks, it’s my first souls game and I really really REALLY enjoyed it. I think you should give it a try such a good game for only $50
Poor performance kills this fight for me. The audio cues are out of sync with the attacks. It's also a bit absurd how in the 2nd phase the boss will teleport you out of the red realm & straight into 1 or even 2 point-blank AoEs. Coupled with the first problem, dodges just don't work. The overall game is awesome, having spent 240 hrs in it already, but - just like the first game - I'll never willingly play this fight again.
After watching this video a few times I finally smashed the ‘c u next Tuesday’ thanks my man! Definitely helped turning the music down to concentrate on the ‘shwing’ sword noise. I ran engineer an summoner with the big boy summon which help smash him down. Think I screamed like a girl after finally beating him 😂 Great video 🙌
@@truevanguardgaming thank you, love your work my man. Been watching since destiny but after the second one came out I lost interest after a while. The first was always better PVP in my opinion. Thanks again 👍
it didn't seem to happen to you in this video, but whenever the second phase guy spawns the orbs, I get pushed to the back of the room and then am out of range of the orbs with enigma. Any tips for this? Those orbs are the only part that's been able to kill me in my last 10 attempts
Not loving this fight, but the game has been top notch up to this point. Almost on a par with the best Dark Souls games but less stressful to play than them. Perfect game for what I want right now whilst Destiny is utter dog shit. It is a 9/10 for me for sure.
Sensory overload is an understatement, I can’t figure out what the hell is going on in this fight.
i will never beat this boss but it is okay i had fun with the game over all
You guys must have never played returnal. This game has nothing on returnal LOL talk about sensory overload but it's hella fun
@@RobK-rl6sn i did try that game - stopped playing because it is no fun a pain up the rear
@@RobK-rl6sn i think the game disk is under my bed with 12 inches of dust on it with dog hair

One tip that makes the fight a lot more consistent - always roll towards the attack, not away, especially on the shockwaves. Make sure you roll towards the boss. When he's swiping left and right, roll towards the sword. This way your hitbox will be in contact with the hurt box for fewer frames, and your immunity frames are more likely to cover it.

Final tip, this boss's head is huge, it's really easy to hit for good weakspot damage. If you use a good long range DPS option with a powerful mod like Crescent Bow or Nightfall, you can use Faerin's Sigil to have very high uptime on your mod, and you can absolutely shred this boss. With a good DPS setup, you can actually transition into the second phase in like 15 seconds since you get a window of free damage right at the start of the fight.
Anyone who has played the souls series has "roll forward" engrained in there mind 😭
Yup roll forward is such a big deal lol I used nightfall +9 with hunter gunslinger to beat him akaris war band with the ring that gives you more invulnerability on your rolls is super clutch
This is the fifth breakdown video ive seen for this boss, but the FIRST time I've felt informed. Thanks, bud!
I immensely agree that the second phase is pure sensory overload, it feels like its too much at times and I'm only playing on Veteran.

Most useful tip I learned is to turn down music volume. It allows you to hear his attacks before they go off.

I know the fights a little crazy but im glad they made it
Having played every fromsoft game and beat all the bosses, this may be the hardest boss fight I've ever done and I'm only playing on veteran
Matter of a build. Ludwig, The Holy Blade and Orphan of Kos from Bloodborne were much harder. IMHO
Same

Second phase tip, if you destroy all the orbs in the glitched realm, then the boss gets staggered.
I must have fought this boss 20-25 times. More than any boss in a long time. Really since sakiro has a boss given me this much trouble. His first phase I was able to know hit after just a few tries. But then that second phase when he starts teleporting you back and forth. That took some getting used to, to say the least LOL I'll never forget going to roll Dodge the Dragon just to be teleported exactly at that moment into the phase 2 section and instead of rolling I jumped off of the small square you fight on. It was the first time I got the boss's health under his last third. LOL I was pissed. The good thing is I came back and spanked him the very next fight. Needless to say now I can no hit 1st phase and most of the second. The fight is a little bit of BS. He attacks so fast and so frequently and it takes the players so long to reload and heal. It can be frustrating at times but just stick with it and learn his moveset because really he doesn't have that many moves and he becomes easy. There is a physical and audio cue before he does anything. Turn the music down in the settings and you're good to go
My build through this whole game was beam rifle and melee mostly melee so this boss was like oh you now need to go build another +20 set that will actually reach him
Here is a tip that helped me a ton:
Turn off the music, about 95% of the boss' attacks have a sound cue before they hit, and sometimes the music is just another distraction on top of all the shit going on the screen. It will simplify your life.
yeah definitely not the most fun boss to be up against but man was it rewarding defeating her
and funny part is if the rumor is true annihilation was nicknamed the root broodmother according to a discord rumor, and second was a theory saying this could be a copy or evil version of clementine we go up against due to the root earth dimension timeline, if your into the lore of the remnant franchise
The is the best guide for this boss
Really good guide
Yea the hardest part of that second phase, is just how disorientating it is. Between the glitching and delayed attacks it truly is an nightmare.
tbh i dont really like using the enigma. part of it is like, a point of pride (it was an OP meta weapon and now its just a meta weapon), and the other part is that i just think it doesnt sound very good.
if it had like, the distinctive tesla coil *buzz*, then i'd probably be interested, but it sorta just sizzles or smth, i tried it out, and i didnt like it
in any event, im also, for fun, running a build that's more for aesthetics than actual, like, mechanical performance. basically, crossbow with skewer, double barrel with blood draw, and an armor set to tie it all under the theme "space witch hunter" (navigator helm, academic torso, bruiser gloves, red widow boots), and as you may have noticed, the weapons i chose, not exactly too good for dealing with multiple homing bombs. i do run engineer so i usually just plop down a gatling sentry and leave them to it, but i wonder if theres a better way that doesnt involve switching in the enigma?
I have played every FromSoft title to date and this is by far the worst boss design I have ever seen.
It’s not fromsoft bozo
@@godussop391 Read again.
Elden beast was kind of crappy...but this one is worst. Both spoiled the fun of the game.
This boss borderline ruins the whole game. If you play co-op and you have ANY latency, it is pretty much unbeatable with the current, sub-optimal netcode.
Great video, very pro and easy to understand. Good job.
We gave up, there is too much going on with this fight. It's driving me nuts. Elden ring had good boss fights where you just could focus on bosses. This is an overload of effects, lightning and what not, how can you focus? I am done with the game, what's the point if you can't finish the last boss? Also i liked the first Remnant way more, it had more content. I like this game, a lot, but the last boss makes me never touch it again...
This game was intended to be played with people. But I honestly found fighting bosses way easier solo. Less people with chances of messing up. What are you gonna do. Just leave your buddy dead the whole fight?
This boss was tough solo and I was only on survivor difficultly. Granted I am still new to souls-borne games
This boss is so incredibly buillshit lmao, during second phase he can swap the stage and be mid attack animation already so he hits you immediately.
Invader class helps alot here as it will automatically dodge for you a few times
Yes I thought about using that but I wanted to learn the boss so when I'm playing on apocalypse I don't have to rely on some mechanic to get me to the fight. I can do it with Dodge so I decided not to use it. Took me quite a few times to learn the second phase because of the teleporting and not realizing he was always teleporting between combos LOL
I actually love this fight. Once you know how to dodge, it feels really good to fight him
this fight is cheeks! There is nothing good about him!! Or his MOTHER
I have given up on this boss and went back to adventure mode.
I honestly can’t see the boss between all the crap floating on screen and all the red and black tones.
Sensory overload is what it really is.
Needs a fix
Tried to fight this mofo for like 3 hours, i got to phase 2 at second try but god damn i was getting exhausted with those phase 2 attacks.
Couldn't do it, im not a souls player and never will, the difficulty is something i dont really appreciate but i understand many like it more than just swinging till death like in witcher 3 lol
The whole game was fun overall, and for a souls noob like me i can say i've gotten pretty far. Will try this boss again tomorrow but i think i'll leave my gloves on the floor and call it a day Lmao
But what a game that is! Tons of fun
Great vid. You're a good coach. 👍
When i finaily beat first phase, i was like "LETS GOOOO!" and then phase 2 started and.. "YOUVE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME! GOD DAMN IT!
Try that one on apocalypse. Kills you in two hits with 80 percent damage reduction. The only chance you have is to memorise all attacks or reaching the flow state.
Maybe hardest boss ive fought in my adult life of gaming.
Haven't come close to bottom 1/4 bar of phase 1.
Gonns have to switch from offensive to just Dodge focused.
Need any help?
There's also this thing we're when he teleports between realms you can fall through ground
In my opinion they should nerf the second phase there’s too much going on and there’s too much red everywhere and the transitions are just horrible people can’t even process what’s going on bc it’s way too much lol
I heard there was a Phase 2 and celebrated after beating him, I ended up frantically trying to shoot him in Phase 3 and almost got killed lol. I think the key to this fight is to get used to the transitions and disco lights in phase 2 😂
I am at this fight and had no idea you could level up your artefact!!!!
Thank you!
Great instructions!
I actually got scared first time being in the second phase. And i completed ds1, 3 and elden ring multiple times dayum
It would help if I didn’t drink beer every time I played video games, this fight is intricate 😂
You can see wtf you need to shoot in second phase! His first phase is much easier. May as well put on a blind fold in phase 2!
Nice guide. Well explained. Thank you.
Why aren’t you putting Enigma bolts in him? Haha. You have 7 all fight
First phase when he appears you can roll over the red mist left hand side what blocks you an can run back to the 2 npc’s an shoot him
Yeah if your playing on PC.
@@studivan nah man I’m on ps5 someone joined my game an showed me it works but you gota get the right angle but it works
The grid attack you can’t dodge you need to crouch that’s why you keep taking damage on it
I completed whole game just to leave it at last.
This was worst thing in any game ever
I’m sure you have been asked this before, but is there a window to your right? And what the hell do you look at every once in a while? Is there a neighbour there staring at you
Thanks for the tips. This guy was a real piece of work. Probably my third least favorite boss.
Agree on this not being a well designed boss but either way great game!
Been stuck at this boss first phase for three days now 😮
First phase? Goodluck with second phase lol
If this was a Darksouls boss, this would be one of the easy ones.
After 3-4 hours I’m now getting easily past the first phase. But I’m not ready for second phase. Out of ammo, low health. So I have no time to learn the mechanics in the second phase. Also have the feeling I’m not doing enough damage.
Did it
I tried using the Monarch homing bullets on his weakspot with either a half hp build or the ankh amulet. It does ok I just have trouble dodging
I feel like you could teach me algebra really well.(:
meanwhile i played entire game as handler and in this boss fight my maxed out handler doggie is watching and cheering with popcorn.
now i got blocked and force to switch. entire build who served me well in boss fight, and especially this one final, is trash
I know that feel bro and still I see a lot of people saying "Handler is OP"
start nie charactwr with high noon gunslinger. You will see The difference .destroying thersflu bossem with Pure dmg. Btw new game gives you 50% more scrap item.
@@ShawnC07 th-cam.com/video/S5WfhmCtz0Y/w-d-xo.html final boss phase 2 in 4 seconds.
Who needs to dodge annoying abilities and learn patterns, gets frustrated, get smashed with tank healing build and dogg who watching with popcorn
Not really a fan of this fight either as the second phase is very glitchy and choppy. I understand what they were trying to do but the change back and forth is too quick, I think if the fight paused for a second as it changes forms it would make it better.. Still an amazing game
Just reached it. When it transitioned to phase 2…. ☹️
I beat him on Apacolypse difficulty and my rewards got bugged. Smh
I am so bad at this fight. I’ve had people try to help me and they leave after a couple of attempts.
I managed to kill him while failing to dodge almost anything, but I also play on easiest. And I also had the "fingergun" and the submachinegun with the fire mod. The fight certainly didn't last anywhere this long. But I guess this is on harder difficulty.
how many relick charges did u have lol
I couldn't beat him so I went on adventure mode and did some improvements on my character. I was able to beat him after 2 days of upgrading. How do I fight him again?
That glitch crap annoys the hell out of me and I kind of miss the final boss from the first game where it at least saves your progress through phase 1 so you start Phase 2 right away as long as you don't leave the area and continue. This fight just feels like it should be a Nightmare fight, not for starting out.
first part is easy. all his attacks have sound cues and if you roll once u hear them youll be good. 2nd part is a different story i cant even tell whats hitting me half the time 😂
Beat saber goes hard now days
Genuinely if they removed the balls it would be a pretty cool fight
This video helps but im still dying like crazy. Wish i could get help on ps5
I’m also on PS5
Man I want to try this game. Just not sure I can really put in the time. Encounters are all really cool and unique.
It’s not as bad as it looks, it’s my first souls game and I really really REALLY enjoyed it. I think you should give it a try such a good game for only $50
It doesnt require a lot of time bro, do yourself a favor and cop it💯👍🏽
its a single player game bro, 10 minutes a day is enough
It's not a long game. If you just want to experience it once. It should take you between 16-20 hours to finish.
Man it's worth it. I work a lot but there was no way I was passing up playing this game
Best classes for this ? I can’t beat it after 20+ tries
Sorry, just started playing this game a week ago. How do I get Health Regen ? You might not remember at this point. Haha
Poor performance kills this fight for me.
The audio cues are out of sync with the attacks.
It's also a bit absurd how in the 2nd phase the boss will teleport you out of the red realm & straight into 1 or even 2 point-blank AoEs. Coupled with the first problem, dodges just don't work.
The overall game is awesome, having spent 240 hrs in it already, but - just like the first game - I'll never willingly play this fight again.
What's the name of the ring you have that gives you health Regen Everytime you do damage?
After watching this video a few times I finally smashed the ‘c u next Tuesday’ thanks my man! Definitely helped turning the music down to concentrate on the ‘shwing’ sword noise. I ran engineer an summoner with the big boy summon which help smash him down. Think I screamed like a girl after finally beating him 😂 Great video 🙌
Nice work!
@@truevanguardgaming thank you, love your work my man. Been watching since destiny but after the second one came out I lost interest after a while. The first was always better PVP in my opinion. Thanks again 👍
Turn music down listen for cues
it didn't seem to happen to you in this video, but whenever the second phase guy spawns the orbs, I get pushed to the back of the room and then am out of range of the orbs with enigma. Any tips for this? Those orbs are the only part that's been able to kill me in my last 10 attempts
if you dodge right as he does that push, you'll disregard it and stay put
Not loving this fight, but the game has been top notch up to this point. Almost on a par with the best Dark Souls games but less stressful to play than them. Perfect game for what I want right now whilst Destiny is utter dog shit. It is a 9/10 for me for sure.
