Zalmarath the Living Colossus Bugged

Another dead hardcore exile :(

They must remove this boss right now, is unfunny in hardcore.

Those who claim the boss is impossible to kill it's not, but regarding that it is bugged I guess yes.

Currently I've beaten the boss, was difficult but as usual, learned the mechanics and managed through. So those who couldn't, please stop complaining and do your best.

I am fighting the boss right now with a friend... where I keep losing HP without being touched. Now if you guys are having these problems, then it's definitely a bug where we can't move forward/away from. We also confirmed it by standing in the opposite sides, and I still keep losing HP + my energy shield is not regenerating.

Everything else through is fine as the game is supposed to be challenging.

I hope it gets resolved ASAP.

All the best.

Normally the hits take 20-30-50% of HP and sometimes you`re dead...
Walking on the arena and the character jumping in the air or the camera falling under the arena?
Getting randomly hit, even though clearly not in the area where the boss attacked?
This isn`t about skill anymore - you have to dodge every attack 100% and pray you don't get hit by random hits...
As I said, seems like the position in the client and the position of the character on the server are not in sync, and some attacks hit multiple times.

Given all this, yes it`s not impossible, but you have to be very lucky... Luck should not be part of the equation, only skill.

Bump, adding two videos of two separate HC characters experiencing this from my own thread https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3624633

https://streamable.com/o6tt7o Here i didn't know the strategy and went in blind, fair enough, still the damage calculation is wrong and the telegraph is absent for such an ability. (Sorry for the shouting, I was surprised)

https://streamable.com/ejkm7r Here i did everything right strategy-wise and had over 1K armour which is overkill at that stage in the act. Still got oneshot not even close to the stab/dagger animation.

Please have a look at this bug it is making me reconsider making new characters in HC just to die from the same thing a third time...

Just wanted to chime in, after the last patch I am ending up under the arena during the fight. Really frustrating to die when you can't even see your character.....

Bump

Bump. Died again.. same reason - one-hitted :/

Got 2 of my hardcore characters one shot by the forward dagger thrust that is basically the fastest and least telegraphed attack of him while I was able to face tank all other boss mechanics like for example the fire breath were you're meant to hide behind the sword which would only deal 20% damage to my hp pool.

Please fix.

Video showcasing the bugs I experience:

And I especially avoid the arena bugs.
Didn`t get this time to showcase the flying things appearing directly in the arena from underneath, instead of actually flying.

Look at the cursor, look where the arrows fly, look where the Gas Arrows explode...

So, please fix?
