Architect one shotting?
" In other words, it's a tedious boss. Avoiding certain telegraphed attacks from bosses is fine, even fun sometimes, but just hitting once then doge 3 things, then hit again, doge again.....until you very slowly chip away at his health is just tedious; unless, like always you play "the correct build" in which case he melts. |

He is a bit disgusting, a lot of abilities across all damage types (including some bouncy chaos), depending on your temple and level most abilities will kill you fast. Boss is dumb when you go in blind due to over tuned and amount of abilities leading to a high chance of bricking your temple (1 death). Either blow him up or struggle thru the slog. |

The architect boss is SIGNIFICANTLY more difficult than Atziri herself. The AoE is far too fast a cast to dodge even with 30% speed boots, and it will kill you even at capped resists and high defenses, until you're beyond stupidly geared out, and maybe even then for most builds.
There was only one time that he didn't open the fight by instantly 1-shotting the whole room, and that was still an absurd shit-show, because the bouncing bullshit never stops. I still killed him that time, but when I finally got to Atziri after that, she was a complete pushover by comparison, beaten on the first attempt. Whoever designed the architect was just trolling, there is no real excuse for it. |

" Yeah, that's a very fair point. In another thread about the Arbiter gatekeeping rare tablets, we also called fighting that boss tedious. I'm sure it's subjective to some extent, but maybe it's a valid concern/feedback that all these linchpin bosses feel this way. Dernière édition par ac429#4687, le 23 déc. 2025 à 23:09:49

Every single boss in the game is shit.
A oneshot on a timer . A AOE oneshot on a timer A Cone oneshot on a timer A Leap Slam oneshot on a timer. Tracking oneshot on a timer. Every boss is now a oversized leap slamming , teleporting proximal tangibility void walking shitbag. Cause GGG dont play any class that sticks close range. Friggin Obviously! Guess what, every one shot in the game , means there is NO meaningful combat. Wonder if that sinks in ... You know the Elden Exile they keep trying to make. No boss in Elden ring can oneshot.

I play werewolf glaciar cascade freeze so im kinda mele and boses are doable. So far hardest was Count in Act 1 and Chosen of Jesus in Act III (due to the shields that protect him from any alignments).
Just learn to play i guess. Also im not using WASD, just PoE1 point and click and forgetting about dodge roll constantly. Dernière édition par de99ial#0161, le 24 déc. 2025 à 01:13:03

" There is no learn to play . The mob hit you once you die. The mob jumps from off screen and slams near you , you die The mob cone attacks , you die. Improve what ... every fight is now a mini arena staged combat bullshit encounter. Why do i need to fight a one shot timer for a "chance" of an exalt orb. Keep the orb!!!!! it's not worth it ... ill pay you the orb to take all that shit off the screen. .... streams of used to be hardcore streams all playing trade league .. or custom ..cause its bullshit . Its all crap , staged , claustrophobic crap . Proximal tangibility so the one skill a melee class has in reserve doesnt work. With extra physical damage aura . With always poisons. resist chaos. For what ... cause im being forced to .. its just ass! Ohhh geeeee do i get to make a whole temple of 35 oneshot rooms ..can't wait to ignore that Dernière édition par Jitter912#4278, le 24 déc. 2025 à 05:28:41

Im not a "good player" but i still manage to go through game. I sometimes face a "wall" but its alway temporary, nothing that few levels cannae fix it. I do sometimes get one shoted but still went forward.

I had same issue on my bear, then oneshot it easily with a plant build. Boss is 956% easier as ranged. Like most bosses and most of the game.

I like how boss does all sort of elemental damage but it doesn't matter if you're resist capped or not, you still get 1 shoted. What's the point of gear if you get 1 shoted by things that your gear try to reduce but doesn't reduce enough?
