    Just lost a run to getting caught offguard by the change to how the fight works thanks for posting an updated guide on a new strat.

    I still think the design of the boss is dubious. Having a first fight that can totally prevent you to win the second fight feel strange. It’s like if in the first zone, an ennemy could break the diligence and reduce your max number of heroes, it don’t feels right. I think I just don’t like preventing a situation, and rather adapt to it.

      In my opinion this boss it the worst in the game, really not a good design compared to the others, and i'm not saying that because it gives me trouble, but because I really dislike the fight. It doesn't feel good to fight it

      @@maellemoine-s5727 I came here after having a near perfect run, never fought this thing before, and after the annoying little eyeballs i just get wiped? Like I get i could have done a few things better in the run but aside from that being my first interaction with it, it should NOT have just nuked my team 3 times in a row.

      ​@@user-ly5oo2hd7pYeah but the moment the boss shows up and you didn't do the first part right you're already screwed, furthermore the game literally doesn't say anything about what to do and there's no way of getting rid of the token, even limerance doesn't consume it. I would have preferred something like the Prophet in DD1, where the first part some of your heroes get marked and maybe nuked when the boss shows up but the tokens get consumed and it shows who is going to get hit next

  • @NR-zx6eo
    @NR-zx6eo 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thank you for your video, i was strugling to beat the first and second boss, i manage to get the first boss but then the second one was realy hard because i didn't know the breathing mecanic, as soon as i understood it i beat him first try and then straight went for the act 3 that i beat first try thanks to your explainations about how the boss works, luckily i had a good team comp for the boss but noot the item to get the taunt on my tank so my character that burn got focused early and she died in the boss fight. at the end i just spammed blight with my doctor and applaying my combo every tunr with my furie so i could just perma heal every time my man at arms was reaching death doors. so i could just not lose at this point it was pretty fun knowing that you win 100% even when seeing the boss with almost full hp haha.

    Stealth works as well. If you don't have any taunt at hand.
    Still can't change the fact that doctor and man-at-arms are irreplaceable.

  • @Bobbybobbeh
    @Bobbybobbeh 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I liked the mechanic where they targeted their mirror position and you had to shuffle your sacrificial pawn- I mean tank around and kill them to take the tokens off if you messed up. But maybe that’s just me. This new one is far more tedious.

  • @jonathanmiller3613

    Just beat this with Crusader, Flagellant, Grave Robber, and Plague Doctor, completely blind. Went to look up a video after, only survived because my Flagellant tanked like a dozen DD rolls after being the only one attacked in the second half. No idea how I would have done this otherwise lol

    14 speed on 3 of my team, 10 speed on my leper. Started with 3 taunt tokens on my leper turn 1. Got 2 seen tokens on leper, then 1 seen token on occultist, with 1 taunt still on leper on turn 1. Entered phase 2 on round 3 with 6 seen tokens across 3 of my team. Fight is broken.

    Just beat this boss for the first time ever!!! Used Man At Arms, Runaway, Occultist and Plague Doctor. PD got seen first move, used defender to keep occ safe, runaway was seen. Set up chaotic offering the turn before focused fault came out. Burning stars with that trinket that give random buff or 1 stress hit. MAA had last stand, defender and retribution to keep all the flack, pd died first door check and orphan runaway helped with little burn and some dmg. Been stuck on this for so long and it felt so good watching that stupid eye sink into the abyss. Would HEAVY recommend occultist cuz he hits hard without needing crit or strength but can heavy benefit from it if he has one. GL to all y'all and thanks for reading all this :D
