Zalmarath, The Colossus glitchy one shot (HC experience ruined)

Just happened to me and I had to google around to see if this is a thing. Fought him a dozen times with no issue on HC, always just instinctively stuck around his hand on the ground. Fought him today on his other side, he pulled that knife drag move on the ground, didn't even seem near me, instant death. What a bummer. If this is intended it's a terrible telegraph, does not look like it even hits you at all.

Anyways, bump...

Pls fix this, HC is russian roulette on this boss. I died so much in softcore at release date from this dagger drag attack (not the one where he drag you with his arm), and now i only play hardcore and already lost 4 characters.

Sometime the hitbox isn't near you at all and one shot, sometime it does 0 damage. I also already fall from the arena but teleported back without any consequences (wtf).

I agree with others, i think the dagger draw attack is bugged and register multiples hit because of the drag. Fix it pls

Just died again to this...

I've done some research; this will probably help. The one-shot attack is made by the right hand in the left direction. So if you always stand on the right side of Zalmarath's right hand (from his point of view), he will never hit you with this attack. Just be careful to dodge his swipe attack Try to kill him using ranged attacks, but melee should also work. Don't stand between his hands or near his left hand and you'll be fine.
