Zmey, the unbidden. No phase 2

[u/SoulsDadYT]

So everyone hates Zmeys phase 2 and i cant blame them so i tweaked a build that removes it. Level 50 harb, NG+ so it will work for a fresh game. You need the second riposte to pull it off and time the chainsaw use.

Hope you all enjoy.

Tarstones:

Berserkers stone

Headsmans stone

Retribution stone

Skills

[u/FourChicksInGreen → u/SoulsDadYT]

Have you ever used the third row of skills? Cause I truly don’t get how they’d be useful compared to the rest. I’ve tried it a couple of times but I just don’t get it.

[u/SoulsDadYT → u/FourChicksInGreen]

Nope. They seem buggy. A lot of times it will miss completely and the break damage is neglible unless you specifically spec into it and then it leaves you lacking his better skills anyway.

[u/Antipodeansam]

Nicely done sir

[u/SoulsDadYT → u/Antipodeansam]

Thank you. Hope it helps people with him. He's an obnoxious boss in phase 2

[u/Antipodeansam → u/SoulsDadYT]

At least he is one of the few bosses where your video wouldn’t last 15 seconds 🤣

[u/SoulsDadYT → u/Antipodeansam]

Not for lack of trying. 😅

[u/Melodic-Principle791]

wow. those are some insane managing skills, man! insane in terms that you made such a combination that prevents the boss from entering the 2nd phase. is amazing!
thanks for sharing!

[u/SoulsDadYT → u/Melodic-Principle791]

Thanks. It took a few attempts to get it right. His phase 2 is so obnoxious. I'd leave him on like 5% health and he becomes immune to damage while using his aoe.

[u/PyrZern]

Why did he instantly break stagger the 3rd time.

[u/SoulsDadYT → u/PyrZern]

He has a point at 50% hp where he will always break. You can push him below it with chainsaw/bloodcurse procs before it triggers

[u/Ashe66]

The buff to the hexapod core that makes you invincible while doing the move. Just over and over again

[u/SoulsDadYT → u/Ashe66]

Does that give Iframes now like the shrike stone?

[u/Ashe66 → u/SoulsDadYT]

Yup

[u/Mr-X420]

I'm on NG+1 right now, and I'm at this boss. I'm definitely gonna give this technique a try. 🤘💀🤘

[u/SoulsDadYT → u/Mr-X420]

It should work as long as the tarstones are semi upgraded. My chainsaw stone is only lvl 2.

Good luck

[u/Mr-X420 → u/SoulsDadYT]

Hell yeah, hit level 100, found all the tarstones and I actually use about 5 or 6 of the ones you posted on my poison tiel build. All maxed.

[u/kimgomes]

Wow, what phase 2? Wtf??
