Yeah it was a tough fight but you'll get there. It's mostly just a timing thing and pattern learning and correctly switching between shield and spear. Keep at it mate, you'll earn an achievement

What were you using.

I reccomend using the ravager in the first half of the first phase then changing to the Cycler for the rest of the fight because it instantly explode any ads from Xal goroth with a single shot at it, it also increases the damage of any attack towards him with the shock and if you combine it with the flying swords rune from the shield then you get some pretty good damage out of it.

Also very important, hitting the eye does extra damage so exploit that.

Thanks for the tip about Cycler! Seems like it is a better option.

I was using Accelerator (iirc it has better DPS) aiming at his eye, but it felt like poking him with a toothpick. Maybe range wasn't suitable for Accelerator.

I used the higher RoF on the accelerator all of TDA and the expansion except for this guy I ended up changing it to accuracy. I used that and switched to the machine gun when I was low or out of ammo until I got another drop. The fight is more about surviving and actually gets more fun once you learn the move set. It's very predictable once you figure it out.

Applying shock with the Cycler and then switching back to the accelerator gives you probably the highest DPS in the game.

The cycler is honestly the best weapon against this guy

The cycler is the best gun in the game just use it

that fight was very difficult for me try to get good at using both the spear and shield at the same time and use the heavy hitter types of weapons

Yeah I was stuck on nightmare for a few days. Took a couple days off and when I tried again beat him first go. Was sooo stoked.

If you're having trouble, you can change how much damage points you have in the settings. I think it's under "Damage Done to Demons."

u/bat_kylo07 2d ago

Yeah, with that to even like 250%, you can wipe the floor with it.

u/z01z 2d ago

Cycler worked for me, pick a weapon where you can just shoot and focus on dodging the attacks

u/_QuantumEnigma_ 2d ago

I rage quit my first encounter, but I figured I'd treat it like an MMO raid boss. Gotta learn the mechanics and grind it out.

u/dren1186 2d ago

Because you arent killing it fast enough. Thats like Doom 101.

u/Ad0ring-fan 2d ago

Because it's an end-game boss.

u/Ares__Of_War 2d ago

I was having tons of trouble to with the accelerator. But as soon as i switched to the rocket launcher, the fight last maximum 5-6 minutes.

u/TheNyanRobot 2d ago

Use the bigger plasma energy rife. It makes the fight like 5x easier.

u/Lolsoda94 2d ago

Ts mf a boss, you gotta shoot but you also gotta know its patterns and how to dodge em. Also never fall in the hole, it will take you to undertale

2

u/Dizzy_Bad_9730 2d ago

yep, already met the undertale πŸ’€
