It’s so unpolished it’s an almost spiritually painful experience to go through. His collision detection with the pillars in his room is awful. More often than not, he will bug halfway through, and stop colliding with pillars entirely. If he’s not phasing through pillars, he’s standing still for minutes at a time glitched into some sort of flinching “in pain” animation. This means a group has to whittle down his health, dealing anywhere from 1 to (our group’s highest) 600 damage per attack. We’re talking about a fight that goes on for over 30 minutes, here. This can’t be working as intended.

Unless I’m missing something? Because I’ve gone at him three times now, and only once has he died without bugging out.

My point is – this guy shouldn’t even be enabled in his current state. CoE is already one of the longer dungeons, and now that the token rewards are all shunted to the end of the Dungeon, the Submarine route is a trap for the ignorant to waste a metric buttload of time in overall futility.

Just experienced this. It comes at the end of a very long run and needs to be fixed! Reported in-game.

If he bugs out just reset him, usually only takes 5 or 6 pillar hits to kill him anyways. At least he has low health for a boss.

To be clear, resetting him did nothing at all for our run. He simply continued to run through the pillars (not even clipping like the player models do, let alone falling down).

The fight and the mechanic are fine (as you said he doesn’t have much health) but nearly impossible when bugged and we did not have the time or firepower to whittle him down 2dps at a time, so this was blocking our progress.

His collision is normally buggy, but now he occasionally seems to just ignore the pillars completely – even after resetting. He also likes to get stuck on the minute changes in elevation on the floor…
