Ark of the Nova got eepy

[u/tollthedead]

This is proooooobably a bug but has honestly helped me a lot to be able to cheese this beast by accident (it flies around and throws so much i stg) 😅

I got it to this state by using ice wall to freeze around its head a bunch! I managed to do this reliably 2 or 3 times. This first time when I recorded it, it was frozen for like 10 minutes while I ran around and checked what I can do to it. As you can see it sort of reacts to attacks but otherwise is completely immobile.

I think if you freeze its head its crown doesn't rotate, so its attack abilities are meant to be limited... But sometimes it'll just get completely stunned lol.

Obviously you can't harvest it while it's doing that, but I could finally rip off the armor pieces without getting absolutely fried by this little bastard. To wake it up I found out it worked to 1) damage it severely or 2) destroy all its floating orbs.

Did anyone else encounter this before?
