I just tried him solo with the best possible gear, with post-CC gear, but the combination of laughably stupid stuff in this fight destroyed me. I'm not asking for "tips" on a normal fight since I already know everything and have tried to fight him many times (only won legit with Wigfrid since the spear TP, area damage, and sanity and health gain remove most of the fight's frantic chores), he's just plain stupid, horribly designed and awful, I need CHEESE so I don't have to fight this monstrosity, so what is out there except gunpowder? Can he still be stuck in some way to use a hondius shootius or something?
For the rant, see below, no toxic git-gudders allowed, skip this section if you're gonna be toxic
Ridiculous stuff includes:
- putting the amulet on for 5 seconds spawns a nightmare beak that won't leave me for the next 30 seconds despite me being at more than 50% sanity
- FW spamming his bone cage every 10 seconds
- FW downtime being less than 10 seconds
- Having to juggle tons of items in the inventory and even with pausing every 2 seconds the fight is frantic and hyper-stressful with 10 things to manage at the same tlme (genuinely, you have to at the same time: maintain distance so FW doesn't hit you, hit the unseen hands to remove his shield, lazy explorer out of his unavoidable bone cage spam, eat a gazillon sanity food every 15 seconds, swap to an AoE item to spam the little minions and if you use the brightshade staff also repair it since it breaks in 5 seconds of pressing F, swap your nightmare amulet for body armor, get close to FW with a melee weapon, look at your health and heal in consequence during the downtime that is already way too short)
