Rathbreaker fight is out of place regarding progression.

Whole boss fight needs a reimagining. Screen cancer, mini arena, endless spawning ads, hinder (lol?) rework it. Period.

Wdym?

The adds that swarm you once he reaches that particular threshold need to be reduced by a good 33%

I've never had adds in this fight other than the 2 he starts with, you run up a side, run down to him, spam attack, he runs up the screen, dodge left/right, he returns and you finish him (thats the long version) - done with every class in the game.

Rotation for him if you're not tanky - hit, dodge roll behind, hit, repeat

Do all the wolves n shit that spawn once you kill him appear during the fight or something??

If i was overseeing the development of the game and the individual responsible for this section showed me this boss fight. I would have told them to clear their desk off. Nothing about this fight feels engaging, more just bullshit tedium than anything else.



It's like they ripped off Radahn from Elden Ring and the flind boss from bg3, added a bunch of stupid layered mechanics on top and called it a day.


Lazy design.



Every other boss in this game has felt amazing. This sack of garbage though? Yeah terrible.

I mean, if you don't play a Quin build, you get swarmed one time while fighting him. Just pull him to the lower "south" part of the area and "hug" him while you circle his attacks. Then you never get hit by the spear barrage, the adds take longer to reach you, and when he is dead the adds on top don't gank you immediately.

yeah fight on the south of a tiny ass arena with your cheeks hanging over a cliff dodging around a .25 M radius to not get swarmed by 5 dozen packs of hyenas is totally what i consider engaging gameplay.

Like I said. If you are "south" you see the few (not 5 packs) hyenas coming early enough to throw some AoE skill at them. There are in the end white trash mobs. If you struggle with them, you obviously struggle with a boss.

You seem to be missing the context of the thread. So let me spell it out for you, I know about the south arena tech and have beaten him on numerous occasions. That being said I still think it's a terrible rip off other IP with extra nonsensical bs thrown in and should be reworked. As that was the whole point to begin with. Thank you for weighing in on something in which there was no need to regarding how to "beat" them.


Have a nice day.

I quote you because it seems you forgot what your thread was about:
"Whole boss fight needs a reimagining. Screen cancer, mini arena, endless spawning ads, hinder (lol?) rework it. Period."

So your "struggle" with this boss is a mechanical thing and not "I don't like the boss because he is a rip off of another IP".
Like... what boss is he ripped off even!?
His patterns are extremely simple and everything is avoidable, so what the problem!?
