The guide is a bit incomplete and I wish more solutions were included :P Footman to ram before he jumps you and prevent jumping with engaging strike works, but requires your team to catch up quickly and is pretty dicey. Other than that, have a formation where you have only one target (the same as with an aegis, but trickier, since its not your most vulnerable target) and abuse the fact that the AI likes to jump at someone beefy barely in range over not jumping at all. Give him no reset via positioning and then pin him down after the engage with immobilizing crits.
Finally beat him! So I'm fighting the forsaken in a village on the second map. They got reinforcements 7 times now and it just won't end. Do you know what's up with that?
congratz! you're very likely fighting a different village battle than usual. it's explained at the start with the dialogue: you have 3 allies and a catapult with you and you need to "conquer" the yellow tiles. Reinforcements will come endlessly until you win that fight. The win condition is having all your units (not counting allies, they can be outside) standing on a yellow tile, while no enemy unit is there anymore.
Currently, if you play on epic difficulty (which is fun as it makes regular fights enjoyable) Baccayeek also has the ability to bypass shieldwall, heal any status effects inflicted on him, heals and ignores the first 3 attacks and if he is attacked more than 3 times in one round he gets to act which is usually 5-6 jumps unable to be stopped in any way each dealing more than half if not completely one shotting every party member's health. Oh and if he attacks 7 or more times he heals for 800 points of health. Great game up until this point. Unplayable.
Just got to him on Epic and noticed all these things. Not sure how it’s possible. I can tank him for quite a long time, but he heals for thousands every turn. Can it be done?
@@S0LIDSNEK He is prettyy much the strongest boss up until the final boss of the game so I'de say 2nd hardest. The way you beat him is with bleeds. Have 1 or 2 of your party members bleed him and never seperate. If they aren't seperated he doesn't get a guaranteed crit. After that it's just tanking and attacking. Game is much more fun after beating him and much more balanced don't worry.
@@S0LIDSNEK if you can also poison him that would take care of the healing as poison halves all healing. Try to bleed him on your first character's turn so everyone else gets to hurt him after that, meaning bleed and get 4-5 hits in before it returns to his turn.
He initially had leech giving him lifesteal on every strike instead of with a full focus bar. It has been changed in the beta branch to leeching double strikes, but I don't think it's on the steam version yet. Regardless of that, you can always deny his healing the same way you did with his first jump. For example: place your spearman (or a low hp unit with aegis) in an isolated position on purpose, just like you did the first time around while you surround him with your other 5 units.
The boss design is just terrible in this game...its all just lazy programming giving the bosses all skills to counter any kind of creative response from the player...Yawnn...I played it until i got to this boss, then returned with the reason " the devs are lazy ass's who dont deserve my money". If im going to be wasting time ill keep on playing battlebrothers with legends mod.
The game is designed around normal battles and not really the boss battles. Most of the time you are facing a lot of enemies and have powerful tools to lock them down and take them out. It just doesnt work very well against single enemies, since they have to be immune to lots of stuff to be a threat. I would say that around half the boss battles are fun tho and the other half not that big a deal to get through (or even optional). It's totally fine to not like them or drop the game, if you just don't feel it. I'm just not sure why you feel the need to insult the dev or call the boss design terrible after seeing the first one.
@@yeekbacca By the time you can hit this boss, youre most likely not ready for it. Apparently, i just hadnt done enough grinding after talking to some peeps on discord. Still....not great design.
So if you get to him without a Spearman/BH and without a Priest, what's the plan? :/

@@BaseCreation but he cleanses the bleed (and any other status) at the beginning of each turn and obviously heals for thousands. What do I do??

@@BaseCreation didn’t know about poison’s effect on healing. So poison and bleed at the top of the round. Still seems overtuned
He is healing 800 points per turn in my game!
