Blackjaw is a garbage boss, one shot mechanics shouldn't exist in any game.

Had fun until this trash boss who 1 shots and can hit me off screen with the most ridiculous AOE I’ll pass

I managed to kill him on the first try, but my build is quite tanky so I could take hits and they didn't one-shot me. Silverback was more of a problem in that regard.

He's not particularly troublesome, but I agree that some of his attacks are surprisingly not well displayed while hitting pretty hard.

His hitboxes are most definitely broken. The hit comes WAY before the actual animation suggests. Took me like 20 tries. I'm playing Witch Hunter Oil+Gas Grenade Merc. The only thing that worked for me was to just do damage in massive bursts and once he started any animation, I ducked behind a pillar. If it was the fire circle, I'm safe to pop out and do some damage until he moves again. If I see him raise the club above his head, I'm staying behind the pillar for the bugged triple slam attack.
Really obnoxious boss. I don't know how I'd do it as a melee build, and it's why I haven't touched any melee characters until they fix the random bugged hitboxes that just instakill you out of nowhere. |

I left him alone in normal and cruel. Came back with level 75 and oneshotted him twice to get my +20% fire res.

The only thing i didn't understand and what killed me several times was his 3-hit combo. The problem is that after you dodge roll, you have like .1-.2 sec until you can dodge again, so if you dodge roll his 2nd hit, then his 3rd hit is perfectly time to land in that .1-.2 seconds before you can dodge again.
The only solution i found was to be far away when he starts the combo so that i can just run away from his 2nd hit while using dodge roll only for his 3rd hit. Yeah the boss design seems intentionally cruel, it asks you to dodge roll his hits but then turns around and punishes you for dodging. |

not sure if this will be of any help, but here's my cruel blackjaw kill on a pretty underperforming build of pre-leech buff blood mage. I'm no perfect player and didn't go record a hitless attempt to make as a guide. I just keep seeing people say they struggle with him and I happened to have my kill recorded from the other day. hopefully someone gets something out of it.

i have finsihed normal difficulty on two characters and for me this was the worst boss by a massive margin. Wrong hitboxes, columns sometimes protoect sometimes dont, and his really fast aiming..
I dont really understand people saying thats its good and to learn fight, there is nothing more to learn, unless you call hugging him a tactic. |

" GJ, yes, circling him is a good option, but unfortunately, if you're unlucky and he does his three-slam attack after his attack that you need to run away from him, it's very easy to get cought by his slams attack, for example after his fireball attack, you'll have very little or no room to dodge his attacks - like the last attack sequence in your video. The boss would be way easier if you could be next to him all the time. |
