GetNerfedOn Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 It seems that the Guardian's lair has new generation which ensures that cheesing no longer is effective - graves are spaced farther, the pillars are placed such that the exploit no longer works. I've seen this so far on two worlds. On one, I failed to take a screenshot after I died exploring the lair, desperately searching for the exploitables. I then rollbacked and the save was before I explored it, and also leaving me with no map data as I left to prepare for a proper fight with a statue (which will be long and drawn out no less, thanks to Rosalina's damage. Well, It's a nice balance she's got.). On another, tho, here's a screenshot: No grave i found was close enough to each other or the edge to be exploitable. This pillar was the only one not directly beside the edge, and it wouldn't let me reach the beast. Can someone please confirm these on new worlds? Or have I just been extremely unlucky?

Canis Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 If this is true, I'm actually legitimately happy. Fighting Ancient Guardian the "real" way is a really fun fight. Too bad in DST, his health is equal to that of a raid boss. This just means that you wont get a guardian horn or fuelweaver access very early on when you're not supposed to.

snugglysnootertoot Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 The thing is, it's possible to stand in front of AG and hit it without getting hit back. No graves, a pillar or anything else to block it. That was still working a few days ago (haven't tried since) so even if the arena did get some update AG itself is still glitchy.

MondayNight Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 No biggie, the new meta would be (if really wanting to play as safe as one gets) pre-building a Potter's Wheel and quickly make 2 statues close beside one-another that act like pillars/graves and spam F. Waste of time the old classic "as intended" way if alone, loot most of times is mediocre at best. If going at it in (at least) a pair, position 1 in front, 1 behind and tandem-hit it, pretty much same result without retaliation if alternating correctly.

Bird Up Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 although, im looking at this now, and i don't see any truth to supposed changes. I can still kill the guardian with generic pillar/grave cheese. He still gets stunlocked. I don't think anything changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirrormind Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 the only real reason why an exploit being removed would be a bad thing is when the content is less fun when you can't use the exploit i don't think i'd generally ever fight the ancient guardian if i couldn't cheese it . would cost so many resources to tank it or so much time to spend several days kiting it around chipping away at it ; i'd rather stay on the surface and organize the base storage or something same applies to like seventy percent of the bosses 'cuz they all got such artificially high health Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splorange Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 i don't think they did anything regarding the ancient guardian arena's pillars and graves, perhaps the ToT world generation indirectly changed it. even if they did it doesn't really matter, you don't need them!

Toros Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Ancient Guardian “as intended” is the worst boss fight in the game. Tedious, repetitive, way too much hp to grind through. I can’t imagine how anyone could consider it fun relative to all the other bosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GetNerfedOn Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 Update: after creating another world to test, it seems I have merely been extremely unlucky. I managed to cheese the Guardian on a gravestone beside the edge. Welp, i'm rlly sorry about the fuss, guys, but thanks for all the help and insight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADM Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I don't have a single idea about why is everyone agreeing here, I've created many world recently and even killed a Ancient Guardian today on a map from a day ago, the pillars and graves still spawn "correctly" as always Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
