Arbiter of ash
|
First impression/attempt. This fight is just bad right now. I watched some videos before attempting the boss. I kind of knew what to expect. I didn't find it hard. The problem is the arbiter does attacks off screen. I'm supposed to react to these rings that appear but I can't even see them until its too late. Just reaching the rings doesn't feel possible sometimes and I have +52%ms with tailwind up lol.
The burning ground/chilled ground mechanic is confusing. Its hard to notice the burning effect. I didn't see a debuff icon. I wasn't losing life. My flasks just didn't work but It consumed charges I think. One attempt I couldn't find an orb to change the ground from burning to chilled. Some of his moves aren't telegraphed well enough. Overlapping attacks leading to what feels like unavoidable deaths. It felt like he kept going invulnerable as well. Just felt turn based dodge 1 shot then you attack repeat. Ok I'm done. Keep up the great work. Love the rest of the game. MADGING Last bumped on Jan 29, 2025, 9:27:37 PM

I also fought him for the first time yesterday. I went into the fight raw for the first 4 attempts, then watched a video and still was frustrated.
I agree with all of the above, it's frustrating when some of the fire orbs are off screen. I guess GGG wants you to memorize the dash pattern but it's not telegraphed enough to determine when it is happening. Ill add, I could not see the openings for the one shot fire wave attacks well enough. My eyes were straining to see it (my eyesight is good). They need to make it more clear. Otherwise yes, excellent game. |

" Oh man, I thought I just didn't have enough move speed at 27.1%. I already fought the guy once and killed it. So I just did another attempt twice after spending time farming these citadels that are far away from each other, with +1 difficulty, damn I always die at the Falling Flame Seed not getting in the safe zone in time. I just think it is impossible to beat this guy right now. |

The meteor seeds and flame paths should not one shot… they are not fair enough to warrant one shotting.
The way they are now i would allow 3 fail to kill you Any less than that is fake difficulty just like the 1 portal maps GGG is going off the rails |

" Yeah, a lot of his attacks have no business being a forced one-shot. Who tf does that in a game where you need to spend time learning and understanding bosses' attack patterns and then only give you one chance to experience them and if you mess up, you straight up just die? GGG: "Oof, you're supposed to go inside that. Aww, geez. I guess you couldn't have known that since that was your first time getting past that phase. Sure hope you figured out what the attack does, teehee. Welp, I guess you gotta go spend 100 more hours farming for another attempt then. Have fun!" And yes, I know they made it so you get to retry the Arbiter a few more times. But my point still stands. Regrettably, I refrain from engaging with nescient individuals who proffer fatuous commentary whilst concealing their profiles. Last edited by dear123000#3577 on Jan 29, 2025, 9:29:29 PM
