Ancient Guardian: you can (sort of) land more than 2-3 hits

[mr. brj]

So you can still land more than 2-3 hits on the minotaur, but it's much harder. Pretty sure using cobblestones or using an overcharged WX-78 makes this method more consistent, but I haven't tested it yet. I hope everyone that misses the old method finds this one useful. I actually like the challenge of not being able to execute everything perfectly as well, at least when you don't have enough setup prepared. Enjoy!

I tested it when the change occurred but didn't record anything. Roads makes the method consistent if you use a magi + cane on top of it (I don't remember if a club can be substituted for it but I think I can). Wolfgang gets a 25% speed boost when mighty, so he can get away with just magi + cane/club. I'm assuming the same for Wormwood in bloom.

For other characters though, kiting early game or at least without roads is gonna be a slugfest though (iirc Wanda is another exception b/c of her high DPS).

I just hope the other characters can at least get out of this slugfest some time soon

AG is getting a rework, and I suspect that rework will be coming in 2022.. but Klei Devs have heavily hinted at it.

Personally if I worked at Klei I would “update” a lot of old stuff from the 2013 version of the game to make it feel like a game released in 2021 as in:

Hey the moon broke apart and crash landed into the ocean causing many changes to familiar biomes, mob behaviors and designs.

Just look at Wobster as a prime example- Klei could’ve just directly posted these guys over into DST from Shipwrecked and called it a day, but instead- they are infused with Moon Glass to clearly indicate the moon has changed them.

I know what your about to say “But AG is underground in a cave away from the moon chunk that landed in the ocean”

There’s a new biome in caves if you weren’t aware called the Lunar Grotto- a direct mutation to caves caused by the events of the Moon.

So I would personally really love to see Klei take that concept and run wild with it, AG now getting a new design and attacks BECAUSE of that chunk of moon that’s causing a ripple effect with the world.

Im only bringing this up because Klei has made it clear they plan to change this boss fight, and I for one: would like to see a bit of progression between the events of DS and what’s going on NOW in the events of DST.

Nah, I just found it cool that you can fight the AG in a legit way and I just wanted to share it with others. I'm hyped for the AG refresh too.
