Swap Nether Gauntlet and Blackstone Golem

[gleaming cove]

Suggestion swap Nether gauntlet and Blackstone Golem in the campaign. The nether gauntlet especially on harder difficulties does hella damage and one shots you most of the time, on the flip side blackstone golem is an absolute joke of a boss. Swapping these 2 bosses in the progression would make the nether gauntlet much more achievable due to being able to access the end dimension for Galena, tier 3 trinkets and more upgrades which would make the boss much better to fight against.

bro seriously turned it into a post? Well anyways im all for it

the gauntlet is genuinely hard

[gleaming cove]

I considered doing a post a week ago but I didn't want alm to strike me down 😂

[slim inlet]

bro forgot that level scaling exists, that fucker's oneshotting you regardless lmao it doesn't matter what galena or trinkets you have access to

if anything golem just needs to be buffed because yeah at default values it's a pretty underwhelming boss

but i think that has more to do with how it's designed, it's slow asf, attacks slow asf, doesn't really do anything interesting

[gleaming cove]

I played it at level 15 and it one shot me with full legendary prot 3 berserker armor

[foggy karma]

but to be real his abilites are quite difficult too, golem just moves around

[slim inlet]

good, people need to learn how to deal with proper boss attack patterns before they're halfway into the campaign getting by with basically standing still fighting stuff

the gauntlet serves as kind of a "rite of passage" boss, a much more difficult boss for where it is in the campaign that's basically gonna decide whether or not you're ready to tackle the rest of the chapter and beyond that

that does not mean i fight 2 hydrogen bombs at the start and then go on fight kids dubbed as "bosses"

i mean compared to conjunc and bgolem, lich and gauntlet might as well be hydrogen bombs

[slim inlet]

again, that's moreso because of how they're designed unfortunately, but both of those probably do need buffs

[gleaming cove]

Thats fair but I still think it does a bit too much damage. For a guy with a basic knowledge of the pack it it is still a very difficult boss. The reason why I think the boss should be after the ender dragon is when you beat that you get access to the end which has a lot of upgrades in it like Galena and tier 3 trinkets

[foggy karma]

yea they seriously need, coz i didnt spend 2 hours for the shards just to fight a walking old golem

[gleaming cove]

Please buff conj, it sucks. The only attack ive ever seen deal damage was the laser attack which i dont even see because i deal a lot of damage to it

[gleaming cove]

Could there be a way to cap your level at a certain point when you want to. Maybe an item that blocks you from getting level XP so it's much easier to not overlevel

How

Its such an easy boss

Just dodge

[gleaming cove]

Have you played it on hard mode?

[urban jetty]

I have

I beat it on hardcore

On my most recent playthrough

[gleaming cove]

Did you just dodge 100% of the attacks?

[urban jetty]

I mean no i didnt dodge them all perfectly but i still dodged enough to not die

Getting multi roll early game is the best way to defeat it

[gleaming cove]

What was your armor, because when I played hard mode it one shot me if i even touched it

[urban jetty]

Full netherite assasin gear

With prot 4 on all

[gleaming cove]

Full prot 4 before nether gauntlet?

I see

[urban jetty]

I usually get thr best things i can

Before defeating bosses

I do my boss run when i got evreything you can get without having to kill bosses

[gleaming cove]

I prefer to get enough gear to beat the first boss and gradually upgrade myself as I go, if its too hard i leave, upgrade and come back. I think thats the most fun in my opinion

[urban jetty]

I prefer the late game

Or well anything after chapter 1

Thats more fun to me

[gleaming cove]

tbh the hardest part of the entire modpack is pre end

[urban jetty]

I hate the dragon fight

I loved the eldrich eye compared to the dragon

[slim inlet]

That's not an uncommon thing

You can rush to like level 60+ enchanting pretty quickly in this pack

[gleaming cove]

Still normal protection is a rare enchant

[gleaming cove]

The dragon fight would have been great if the phantoms didn't deal a third of my health each time they hit me

[urban jetty]

I just hate how 90% of thr time u cant even touch the dragon

[gleaming cove]

Eldritch eye is prob the best boss next to faceless in the entire pack

[gleaming cove]

When it perches it almost impossible to hit it and the perches are very uncommon and short

[haughty hawk]

Lowkey the dragon fight is the same as vanilla except it has phantoms

[gleaming cove]

And they deal 2k damage

[haughty hawk]

No?

[foggy karma]

the dragon fight didnt seem that hard?

yea he perched for short timings but he didnt deal some crazy attack to me either

[gleaming cove]

The dragon was easy, it was the phantoms dealing a third of my health that was annoying. Every time they hit me I had to re heal and the crystals would keep respawning which I had to break, summoning more phantoms. Even during the night lich they did a crazy amount of damage.

It was only when I had a flying mount that I was able to deal damage to the dragon and avoid the phantoms

[urban jetty]

The phantoms were a boss on their own

It was so annoying
