Hello, this is my first post on the forum. Unfortunately, I want to complain…
I’ve had a bunch of fun with the bossfights in Grim Dawn. All of them require a strategy, and none is impossible. Except for this one. Except Bollag and the big guy in the sewers, these fights were retarded. I’m a DW purifier and there was absolutely no hope on Ultimate difficulty. I don’t die in one hit, but that’s no problem as he doesn’t only hit once after a charge.
I feel that the expansion is way too brutal for ranged builds that can not facetank. Bonus points, the game kept on crashing when I tried using Cheat Engine, I have never encountered this before…
You need stun resist and any form of invul/on-demand sustain to feel comfortable with this guy. He’s not the hardest purple thing even compared to some vanilla creatures.
Make sure you have damage resistances maxed (except physical) and stun at about 60% above. Also have word of renewal, blast shield and inq seal maxed. Those help a lot with survival.
And cheat engine isn’t the ‘cheating software’ here. There are a lot of easier tools in the utilities section.
I’ve got maxed resistances (except vitality) and 9k health (which is unfortunate, I know).
I had a beer and decided never to get away from my PC until Bollag was dead.
The first 45-50 minutes of struggle were agonising. He kept following me, never returning to the drawbridge. I’d find him idling next to my grave and that made me come here and write an angry post xD
I restarted the game and then he would give up on following me when I entered the little house(closest to the gate). After one more hour of frustration… the deed is done. I managed to get him stuck in the wooden stairs, which is possible if he uses the charge as his first spell when you encounter him.
HA! Who is overpowered now, Bollag?
Ah yes, the nightmarish struggle ended with an amazing, earth-shattering drop of two common components. Really? XD
