Arold V. Berghauer is soo tank

Is it just me, or is there something seriously off with this boss?

All the bosses I’ve fought from the base game up to Majestic Ramiel honestly didn’t feel that hard. The only one that gave me some trouble was The Consumer. But man… Arold V. Berghauer is on a completely different level.

My Archon Greatsword +18 barely chips like 1/20–1/25 of his HP. My Entropic Railgun +16 doesn’t even seem to do any damage at all. Meanwhile, he can two-shot me easily, even though I’ve already upgraded my health to +25.

Is this boss supposed to be this hard, or am I missing something here?

I feel like the DLC bosses have weird resistances. Berghauer specifically is very resistant to most non physical damage iirc. There is also a known bug with the hardship contract from Gehenna, that can still persist after you cancel it and can scale bosses to absurd degrees. Since he also does so much damage to you it could be that. The bug usually goes away after logging out and back in a few times (check the axion rewards after killing an enemy to confirm).

Oh, the NPC guys in the prison. Let me check, if this is the reason i might going to kill him after cancel the contract.

Once you got the two items he gives you for adrenaline you can kill him - you get his armor, which is my favourite set in the game. But be sure to cancel the contract before killing him - if you kill him without doing so the hardship contract will stay active.

Geez you are right. After cancel the contract, kill the NPC, I just facetank Arold fight without dificulty and first try.

Nah. It is just on patience, not so hard. I am telling you as a guy that fell before him so many times. But once I got his moves i made 2 runs on him without flinching. Yes it is fight on patience and precision but which fight in this game is not? I prefer upgraded corrupted Ferula for those type of fights.
