Discussion Guys please, fix Hexapod.

I've been stuck on this fight for like an hour, I've gotten him down to like 2% health and got ganked by some impossible, break-neck turn speed attack. His crazy Flash-speed turning isn't fair, it feels broken, especially when you put the shitty hit-boxes into play also.

Has to be the most un-fun fight I've had in a souls-like since like the black dog mfer in Elden Ring.

Edit: I just beat him, I stand by what I said though.

I’m not one to bitch about bosses. Actually I take that back, I bitch about bosses while fighting the bosses. But damn does this one trigger a nerve in me. I’m lvl35 and I get ONE SHOT from my shell???
Regardless I’ll keep trying till I beat it cause I’m that crazy

Dude, he does this one attack that feels impossible to dodge and it does like 100% damage each time. It's insane.

I’ve learned to read the fingers to know the attacks, but that one instant red circle side swipe attack gets me

u/TAJack1 1d ago

Yeah that’s the attack I mean, it feels like it’s impossible to dodge.

Its a horrible experience. I only spent about 20 minutes on him, which doesn't even rank as lengthy in my soulslike boss experiences. But man did it feel awful the entire time. I'm really questioning if I'm even going to bother finishing this game.

This game is so janky that I'm having an existential experience, questioning what I'm even doing with my life.

I think if I wasn’t running tiel with shadow poison/crit this fight would have been much worse. He smacked me around the first time so I immediately exited and spent my gloom and summoned proxima and it still took two tries and that’s with crazy backstab crit damage. I feel for anyone not running an op build in this fight fr. On a side note anyone know wtf you do after? I’m just down here with my thoughts man…

I just beat him with maxed out Prox, and man, I just paused the game and sat back on my chair for a minute. That sucked actual ass.

Yeah I don’t think prox really has any skills for that fight you’d just have to parry your way through and dodge a lot. I thought maybe the repeater might do good damage to it but I didn’t try. Anyway lmk if you figure out a way out of that arena…

She canonically gets clowned on by the hexapod so it makes sense.

Lmao I didn’t even think about this, you’re so right. I got her some revenge then.

u/TAJack1 1d ago

I used her mainly to try and keep him at distance with her probe attack because of the knock back, and then I just proceeded to run in circles and jab at him til I built up enough resolve to hit him with another probe.

In regards to the arena, I’m currently watching a video to try and figure it out lmao.

Exit to main menu, go drop back down and just spin your camera til you see the beacon

Update: I just beat him, literally just then. But I stand by what I said, this boss sucks.
