| Summary | 0008619: Boss spawn/room creates impossible situation | ||||
| Description | Screenshot shows exactly what I mean. Certain boss/room combos are currently creating impossible or near-impossible situations. In the situation shown in the screenshot, it's not actually possible to attack the boss without sitting ON it. No shots can strike it because of it's field, and I cant aim at it ANYWAY because of the layout; there's that one tiny little hole to fire though, but the needles fired by the boss just keep streaming through there, so there's no way to aim anyway. Cant just go down there and attack the boss directly, because it'd just squish the character against the wall/cieling. This outdoor room type is normally used for Wind Shelter missions, and it's not the first time I've seen the game do this with this type of room; the previous red boss chunk in this region had another unkillable one; same boss, Brimstone Cyclone, this time in a thin horizontal passage underwater. Couldnt damage it, or even get close to it without being immediately destroyed. Fortunately, in that case I could just reach the exit without having to defeat it. This issue doesnt happen all that often, but it's pretty nasty when it does, and generally the only way I've found past it when it does occur is to drop the difficulty to Featherweight, and just smack into the boss and hit it with Insect Orb or something similar from point-blank range. | ||||

You don't have to kill bosses in surface chunks. A few Lesser Teleports should get you past it. Alternatively, you could maximize your Projectile Speed enhancements and try using your thinnest/fastest attack spells through the hole. That said, the game probably shouldn't use layouts this cramped for surface boss chunks. |

Yeah, I tried the teleport.... once. Haha. I think I just died faster :P (and Greater Teleport doesnt seem to do anything when I use it, the game just honks at me, so I havent been crafting it) But yeah, the cramped layout is the main reason I brought this up. |
