No post processing at Liadri-devalue achieve?
It’s your option to have it.
Just like the shaking camera during jumping puzzles for instance.
If you want the full experience, you can leave it on.
It’s doable to beat her with the effect happening, once you’ve learned your patterns. Killed her with every setting set to lowest and also with everything turned back up to High when showing people how I go about doing it, trying to help them.
I think it triggers randomly, haven’t been able to really point at something specific, as I have had it happen when nothing’s touched me and at random times, it never seem to follow a pattern, as with the Gravity Rifts. I think it’s a lame artificial challenge that makes you blinded and unaware of your sorroundings, so taking it off is just fair. The inclusion of it was just making things a bit over the top at any rate, at least while you’re still learning. It’s like the designer sat down thinking, “How can I make this even more challenging— I know it’s challenging already, but it needs to have that extra little jerk-move to make it stupid hard. I want people to rage!”
If it devalues the achievements, I don’t know. I never got happy beating her the first time around, knowing I still needed Light Up the Darkness, and it feeling borderline impossible still. And when I got Light Up the Darkness, I had been burnt out from doing this over and over and over and over and over and over and over.. so it just felt like a sloppy “hooray.. so happy… meh.”

It would be interesting to get a dev response to this. I’m going for the 8 orb achievement and would feel bad getting it with post processing off if the blinding stuff is really supposed to be there just to make the fight that much more difficult than it already is.
So trying this tonight with post processing enabled – for me I can definitely say it makes phase 2 much tougher.
Is the random blinding a bug or supposed to be there? I know I can turn off post processing, but if the devs intended the blinding to be there then I guess it just ’wouldn’t feel right’ to do so.
I never have post process affects on anyway. My PC can’t take it.

Same here. I don’t think if my PC can handle them or not; anywise, I play with everything at minimum/disabled by default.
It obviously devalues the achievement, but having to fight at about 10 FPS should be a fair tradeoff :P
I turn off Post Process effects cause they are ugly and make the game blurry. Didn’t even knew about the blinding effect before talking with other players around that were complaining about it and I was all like “Uh, what are you talking about?”
