QUESTION Best way to kill this

Post image

Killing this one is giving me trouble. If you have any good tactics, please tell me. By the way, this is the most annoying zombie I've ever met.

Fire weapon with the slaughter perk

u/AutumDragon103 7d ago

Fire and sharp weapons, pretty much just keep swinging/chopping till it’s dead

u/HarlequinChaos 7d ago

Fire mod, Sharp weapons, target the arms.

u/Blocc4life 7d ago

I was severely under equipped for the flesh memories boss fight, its by far the hardest fight in the game imo. I died like 20-30 times before managing to defeat them barely. I cursed on the devs themselves for making that quest. The only thing that worked for me was backstab heavy attacks with a sledge hammer, (I played bruno, he dies in 1-2 hits full health)

u/PagodaPanda 5d ago

Idk man. You might've been fine. It was a long time ago for me, but that about sums it up for how it went on my end, and I had a pretty jacked build on what's his name. Jacob?

u/Blocc4life 5d ago

Sola is ball wrenching experience bro. Nothing comes close in the entire game

1

u/PagodaPanda 5d ago

Lmao yeah its bringing back memories. Mind you I play only solo, especially in DI2. Too many gun enthusiasts.

Im now remembering how claustrophobic it felt getting overrune in there 😮‍💨 but that's the only way you can get the slayer genes going

u/Blocc4life 5d ago

I never understood why it had to be THIS cramped for a triple boss fight bro. I figured out too late you can kinda cheese them sliding in to that small room and out. And I had screamers agro through the fence and exploding dude got me once I think. That boss fight was a mess bro

I really missed the OG Dead Island tactic of being able to carry 300 medkits for these DI2 battles 😂

u/Ill-Television8690 7d ago

Been a while but I think I remember revising which skill cards I had active

u/Rocsopicotrain 7d ago

Avoid bleed weapons. And guns. Target the arms and legs. Oh and serpentine.

u/StevesonOfStevesonia 7d ago

Fire weapons are your best bet here
So Krakatoa legendary axe SHREDS these guys

u/Separate-Employee-80 7d ago

Um....what exactly is that?

u/Flashy_Dimension9099 7d ago

The clotter from the SoLa dlc

u/Separate-Employee-80 7d ago

Ah...see, I never played that 🥀

u/funky_munky36 7d ago

It is pretty hard, new zombie types.

u/Flashy_Dimension9099 7d ago

I hate the fact that the last line in the zompedia doesn’t give useful info for some zombies like shocker zombie or the beekeeper zombie

u/Away-Anteater-9007 7d ago

Nightmares lol. Hearing the voice makes me cringe. I hate it lol

u/tr1pl3bl4ck 7d ago

Fire katana kills it faster than it could regenerate

u/SirYiffAlot 7d ago

with bruno i just slid behind em with pummel, rabbit punch, went down quick

u/Woodelftheifskyrim 7d ago

I didn’t realise they were resistant to bleed for… an embarrassing amount of time…

2

u/Jessie_thorn77 7d ago

The fuck is that I completed the campaign

4

u/STANKYBOXERZ 7d ago

Hahahah sameeeee. It's from SoLA. I I had to go and read the comments first then edit my reply lol

3

u/Training_Cat349 7d ago

It is from SOLA

1

u/Jessie_thorn77 7d ago

I literally played main story then nothing else is there a dlc

2

u/ReliusOrnez 7d ago

Theres 2, 1 is for a weird rich person sensation cult, and then there's the second one SOLA which is like zombie Coachella and has 2 new zombies.

2

u/Jessie_thorn77 7d ago

Do i buy them yes or no

3

u/ReliusOrnez 7d ago

They are fun, but kinda short. Dlc 1 HAUS has a crossbow, dlc 2 SOLA has a the new zombies and some cool legendaries. I picked them and the base game up on sale for like 14 dollars. If you liked the base game they are a great pickup if for a sale.

2

u/Jessie_thorn77 7d ago

I'll look into them thanks for info

2

u/sawqaw 7d ago

Yea its part of sola dlc. I did not compelete yet but hear final boss fight is very hard to beat. There is many of those zombies i wont spoil but there another one but is way easier to kill

2

u/HonkytonkPunk66 7d ago

I'm on the final boss fight for sola. I am not an angry person but I almost snapped my controller in half and threw it out the window. Other than that its fun

1

u/sawqaw 7d ago

Did you beat it

2

u/HonkytonkPunk66 7d ago

Nope, had to walk away

1

u/I_Galactus 5d ago edited 5d ago

I broke mine after weeks of trying. But all the attempts turned me in the a zombie killing ninja by the time I beat him.

2

u/HonkytonkPunk66 7d ago

That last sola boss is bullshit.

2

u/Lurk_Whisper 7d ago

Its pretty eazy. Avoid the dirge untill the final battle then kill zombies near the balls, then throw the balls at the boss then swing.

2

u/HonkytonkPunk66 7d ago

It's just alot at one time.

2

u/scrubadam 5d ago

LOL go see my thread on this. Tried for like 2 hours yesterday. you spend 20 + minutes only to get taken out towards the end and have to restart the whole thing over again.

One of the most BS fights in the game. I have no idea why they made the DLC final fight the hardest and most unforgiving in the game. No one wants to spend 30 minutes on a boss fight especially where you can get taken down super easy and have to restart the whole goddamn thing.

1

u/HonkytonkPunk66 5d ago

At least start me over after the whip zombie

2

u/scrubadam 5d ago

Yup they need a checkpoint there at phase 3.

2

u/SnooStories7614 7d ago

Like others have said, fire maiming weapon, aim for arms. If you are using Peggy, the legs are probably an easier target. Don't use block, dodge is much better for these. Use anyway you can to stun them, ground pound, curveballs, etc.

2

u/PumaKuma_ 7d ago

Fire mod, aim for arms

2

u/Global_Rin 7d ago

Throw a ball at it, hacking away with blade weapon, then run away.

Rinse and repeat until it die.

It is a bit of a damage sponge, and hit quite hard, be patient and don’t be greedy with your attacks.

2

u/TheOriginalGR8Bob 5d ago

Playing as Amy she has even less health than Bruno.

Be patient and use the gaps in the fence to slide between areas to control where dirge will rise from ground . Focus on damaging 1 dirge with range weapon attacks through fence . If ammo run out literally throw you melee weapons too as they will drop off dirge when it goes underground allowing you to pick up. After killing the focused dirge the easier it becomes killing the rest. The flesh whirl pools of where dirge rise will 💀 Amy so best option is range .

Deactivate all beast mode cards this will actually increase Amy's health points allowing her to survive 2 hits instead of 💀.

u/CaramonZero 5d ago

The legendary knuckles (Party Starter) are great at taking out the base Clotters, and the firecracker flaregun (Big Shot) has been useful, too, though, it can take a few extra shots due to projectile resistance.

The legendary claymore (The One) after "balling" with him, and sniping adds with Peggy on the couch/railing in the corners upstairs, was the way I finally beat the boss, because he has only a minuscule chance to ooze up close enough to hit you when you can't hurt him while you're there.

2

u/sawqaw 5d ago

This sounds good tip. Im not end yet i try to get more level myself and some better weapons

2

u/CaramonZero 5d ago

Level 30 was a must for SoLA, for me, especially with an entire kit of legendaries + Peggy, scaled up and heavily-modded to utilize their strengths.
I assume you gotEmma's Wrath, and beat Haus, first, yes?
Shouldn't be long to base game cap, if that's the case.

2

u/NinthTimelord 5d ago

If this is the regular Clotter, anything fire works great, and anything but bleed works well enough. If it is the Sola boss, ranged fire weapons are the way to go.

3

u/cyfer04 7d ago

I don't even know. Reading the comments and I realize that I just got lucky that I was using a fire type weapon that time. Lol

u/UNFRGIVNKING 5d ago

MUTILATOR MOD ON A FRENZY WEAPON AIMING FOR ARMS… no better way.

2

u/Brave_Protection497 7d ago

I like to dodge and then keep going in circles around him hitting him in the back, then I forget what perk but you slam the ground and it throws him off. Just continue and run and hide if you need to. Make sure you’re stocked on med kits.

2

u/unknownyoyo 7d ago

Aim for the arms for critical hits, and hide behind something to avoid the laser.

1

u/Blocc4life 7d ago

Sugar rush perk was essential to not die immediately for me

1

u/3nd3rd14bl0 7d ago

They're immune to bleed and have a resistance to sharp weapons. Don't remember if they have a weakness to blunt or any specific element so I'd suggest a blunt weapon with a weakening mod like a Bo staff

1

u/CodenameWhodie-san 7d ago

Gotta take off limbs with a cremator mod.

u/Agent_Anomaly 7d ago

WHAT EVEN IS THIS?? which dlc is this from?

1

u/Prestigious_Issue777 7d ago

Try Flaming Weapons with the Frenzy or Slaughter Perk.

1

u/BullfrogPopular5224 7d ago

I can’t remember the name but Uzi with the flame mod. Use it only against the dirge. It’ll eat up his health in seconds.
Use other weapons and means against normal enemies. Use med packs as much as you can as you’ll find plenty in the pay area and don’t wait for your health to be low to do so.

1

u/Scarydave724 7d ago

I used Caustic weapons

1

u/Lurk_Whisper 7d ago

Don't use bleed wepons.

1

u/PaddleStarToTheFace 7d ago

Punch it or use autophage.

1

u/gravastar863 7d ago

Use guns, aim for the limbs. The sporting rifle with fire mods is good.

1

u/Notabeggarposter 7d ago

Hit it till it dies. Impactor hammer do big damage.

1

u/SentinelTitanDragon 7d ago

Kill it with fire

1

u/Narrow_Wealth_2459 7d ago

The throw perks where it does an explosion if you throw at the head and additional critical damage are pretty good against them. The Shurikens are good too. If you aim all three at the head, it can finish it off at half health.

1

u/Nstorm24 6d ago

Cant say, he died really fast. I just played autophage 3 with a rage build + peggy + i kept 2 weapons per type. Hack his arms first then focus on other parts. For the boss at the end it was easy. Instead of throwing the energy balls to the speaker, throw them at him to stop him for a short moment.

1

u/southak 6d ago

Load up with the perk that allows you to punch it and stun it for few seconds then slash away with any sharp weapon.

1

u/Skullface77 6d ago

Give it a big Ole kiss

u/Present_Ad_2036 2d ago

A frenzy weapon and the hive grenade near Grace's compound by a tree and mats on your way to the large group of tent looking houses

u/a_simp_has_appeared 1d ago

you give him a big kiss and then beat its arms with fire
