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…
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.
no worries mate, took a “couple” of tries when i made my auric maelstrom ogryn solo
not 5 minutes went without me shouting and cussing
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?
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.
