Boss is dope

I don’t normally enjoy FS bosses but I gotta say this one is fun! A good amount of hordes, the spells didn’t feel too cheap, you can interact with the flying balls, and once you learn it not too grueling. A boss that rewards positioning, awareness, and coordination without being too gimmicky. Great job!

Surprisingly, the bots do a good job of avoiding the lava. Better than me; it was quite difficult to see the safe spots imo. And woe betide anyone colourblind…

*This was the post-patched version

Even if you are colorblind (me) if the floor is glowing get away

Speaking of bot, did anyone notice them being able to push pox burster now?

Though idk if it was accidental since I don’t get to play with them much.

I carried our whole Strike Team; don’t you lie about that! @Frish

I beat the Prophet of Decay whilst playing as a SLOW CLASS prior to his nerf too and I therefore have BRAGGING RIGHTS!!! Nyehehehehehe… >:3

sadly I could only in auric, albeit i clutched the last phase so i can show off a little bit at least :joy:

was then a few hours short for the havoc 40 version, sped through the random pool like crazy but the nerf came too fast for me to get a 40 map in time

I thought I was hallucinating, pretty sure I noticed this too!

It could just been @Khorne_Dawg though since they totally carried everyone, totally.

Ah, I tried to channel my inner Index as last one standing first time around but sadly ended up having to watch a dog chew me up for a while :sob:

I share your sentiment, new boss fight is fun.

Also the first symbol I had to follow looked like vag***. :smiley:

I personally hate it.

I think colored patterns like this is lazy game design and it brings me right out of immersion.

I will never play that mission again.

They are nurgle-flavoured and quite literally magical though. Definitely more diegetic than Twins poison trap AoE indicators. Even the purple bouncy mist appears on enemies throughout the mission.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, just that I disagree :grin:

no worries mate, took a “couple” of tries when i made my auric maelstrom ogryn solo :joy:

not 5 minutes went without me shouting and cussing :smile:

main thing though is to channel that hate and break the damn thing, then you’ll gain cathartic bliss

well its high time some dev got the balls for a full slaneesh orgy setup.
conan exiles gives you elixirs that grow you a third leg while the chaos gods stay prude?

thats heresy within depravity

I think there’s a button on the hammer for that! It’s… all of them :laughing:

New map in general is really fun. It’s the first time I’ve played Darktide in a while where I actually felt a sense of wonder from how big this place is supposed to be. Every other map is so claustrophobic. Haven’t gotten a feeling quite like Athel Loren until Spillway.

Boss is also good fun, very challenging but it never felt as gimmicky as Nurgloth did.
