Easy "fix" for Demonhost

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Gameplay Feedback

I personally think that Demonhosts just like minotaurs are something new we need to learn to deal with first. I don’t think he is horribly unbalanced. Hard for sure, but not impossible. But it’s an incredible slog to kill 5 or 6 of them in one mission because they spawned unavoidable.

Therefore i propose: Leave him as is, but treat him as a single entity per level. Even heal him for all i care, but if he is killed once, he should not appear again. If he manages to kill two players and retreats thats ok. But fighting him too often is more of a slog than it is fun.

Why do people want to nerf this boss? You’re not supposed to fight it. It’s entirely avoidable.

Is it really? If it is directly infront of where you need to get through? When it is directly infront of the chokepoint of a large area, then it is not optional. I certainly noticed that it sometimes is, but maybe i just had way too much bad luck. Needing to kill 5 out of 6 encounters in a level to progress does not seem “optional”.

If it is ever not avoidable, I would agree it needs changing. I haven’t seen that be the case yet.

Also, you can just choose not to go to dark maps.

Demonhost can even spawn in the area where your team has just passed. That’s really confusing, not fun at all.

6

it is always optional. There are always alternate routes. git gud

I am totally not that much against it. I just had a bad mission where he was unavoidable too often, and thought it needed changing.

Lol try to get an alternative route into a damm elevator. Lets try from below, because that seems more on level with your intelect.

Also sry, for the insult but dumb answers require dumb replies.

Incorrect, it does spawn in paths with no alternate routes… like in the small corridor that leads to the last big arena.

It’s fine… why is ever second post asking for nerfs? Just practice at it.

11

I’ve never seen one spawn impassably. The agro radius is quite small.

12

Thats my first sentence. But if it is really unavoidable, either fix that or make it a single entity.

If that is the case, that definitely needs fixing.
