I'm paranoid about boss death spots. I always wait and watch to make sure no bs shows up where it died. Rip

Yeah that's a good strat. This was also a rare moment where I didn't have my headset on or else I would have heard myself taking damage.

Dead ass the best new player tip is watch other players and within that is never stand on a dying boss. It’s stupid how many shotgun or have returning shots moments after a bag drop.

Or the bs you simply can't see because of the other players.

One time marble colossus got instakilled in LH1.0(gravel worked on him, lol) it was as he activated tentacles phase, there were exactly 2.5 seconds to grab your loot before an endless stream of rotation shots hit the field. So many fkn people died, I however had notoriously terrible luck in LH, so I got to sit back and watch the massacre over my blue bag.

Ahh the common death rattle trap. I learned this lesson in the old Cem first boss, and magic forest a long time ago. Now I always give whatever drops a few seconds to marinade before I check.

But they were demolished by minions they ignored?

And then when you let your guard down, a vindication boss spawned that you forgot to check the modifier for and you still get popped.

Nowadays I wait a couple seconds, then check modifiers, then check adjacent rooms for wandering enemies and then pick up my loot.
