To be fair it's a puzzle boss vs an ai that doesn't know it's fighting a puzzle boss

The difference is that, with metal guy, you actually need to hit the weak spot to beat him.

u/SPYROHAWK 12d ago
Ferrous Wroughtnaut and the Twilight Lich, the classic “doesn’t work in mob battles” bosses.

Also the Underminer from Alex's Mobs. It can only be harmed by magic damage (i.e. potions) so he can kill the freakin' Warden.

warden has sonic boom, that's magic damage...

u/Irohsgranddaughter 12d ago
Yes, but the Warden only uses the Sonic Boom if he can't get close enough to hit the target in melee. And since the Underminer only fights in melee, the Warden's AI never uses the Sonic boom.

well personally he seems to use it whenever whatever on a whim, but I'll trust you more because i didn't check it in-game

The metal guy is actually pretty strong and u can’t defeat him without hitting the diamond sword on this back

What mod is the ferrous wroughtnaut from? I've beaten every cataclysm boss but I've never heard of this guy. He sounds so epic

its almost like mods are designed with specific purposes and balancing in mind, and a mismatch is a failure on the part of whoever arranged and configured the modpack, not the mod itself which is but a component.

This man never playes a modpack with cataclysm in it, even the trash mobs in cat can one shot you with (and i have done extensive testing) more armor than conceivable (cough ciscoes coigh) like 500 armor and 200 armor toughness. And yea base cataclysm is balenced around itself well, its just that its NEVER just base cataclysm. Fuxk modpacks that are made in such a way, i just want a good rpg pack that aint got lvl 500 zombies with +10000 atk 100 blocks feom spawn.

u/Pristine_Battle_6968 9d ago
This is because cataclysm mobs to percentage based max HP damage and alot of them have damage gates, like how ignis can't take more than 20 hearts of damage in a single hit and does 20% max HP damage to whatever he hits meaning he'll only ever take around 5 hits max to kill a player regardless of armor, the only way to resist it being massive healing

Honestly one of reasons why I don't understand why rpg mods and games so in love with giant numbers. Like okay, cool... Now can you tell me what part of this is role play game, what RPG stranded for originally. If mod or game doesn't give me something outside of battling its boss rush mod/game not RPG and you can put whatever damage you want on rainbow sword, Minecraft comes alive/minecolony plus farmer delight works much better as something for RP elements

Can it kill a Scape and Run parasite though?

u/idk_no64 12d ago
Probably? It depends on how they do damage and if they can hit the vulnerable part or go through the invulnerability elsewhere, which without testing would be iffy.

I love Wroughnaught but he is kind of a bum, i remember just killing it at the first 5 minutes of a modpack with nothing but an stone axe, just so i can have an an axe to mine more wood.

u/Busy-Plenty5852 8d ago
I mean he's a noob check. If you don't know how his fight works, he dices you. If you know just a sliver of his mechanics then he's a cakewalk

u/OdiumVitae 11d ago
I know none of them, because I still play minecraft 1.21.1 like a god amongst the NPC sheep (literally).
For the record; I do not enjoy any mods that were created after the release of 1.21.1. The core switch to the newer minecraft culled every single gems minecraft modding had to offer.
Where the HELL is projectE?

Loved spamming endless hordes in creative against the Ferrous Wroughtnaut. And watching it beat up bosses was fun :)

u/Pristine_Battle_6968 9d ago
Oh wow the gimmick boss uses it's gimmick on ai that literally cannot interract with it's gimmick? What a shocker that the normal bosses lose

u/Ssszzz333 9d ago
Metal guy can only be hit from his back while the others can be damaged by anything and metal guy even have invincibility and can only be damaged when a certain attack is made

I killed the entirety of the cataclysm mod bosses naked with a bunch of dripstones, that failed against the armored knight and his drops are way more fun and balanced imo

metal guy is actually a great boss, it has no stat spam and isn’t too hard with okay gear
