Wurtstool Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I'm talking about bosses such as toadstool and crab king here where fighting them is about how much weather pains and dark swords you can fit in your inventory and holding f rather than bait/punish and kiting. I am wondering if anyone find these bosses gameplay fun or if its just me that despises them. I consider bosses like Fuel Weaver, Klaus, CC, and most reticently added EOT/TOT to be some of the best fights in the game because of the skill it take to dodge their attacks and mechanics that are fun to play around. Compared to Toadstool, you have to have a certain amount of items to even finish the fight and most of it is just attacking. I feel that crab king is the most disappointing because of the potential it has with all these gem combos but people almost go all purple just to even stand a chance fighting it legit and therefore resort to juggling ice staff/weather pains/attack spam. So I want to ask if you guys like these "resource management" bosses and Klei should implement more of it in the future patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BezKa Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Toadstool is very much a multiplayer based boss imo. Killing it alone is a massive resource sink, true, but the moment you have another person to help you cut down mush trees the fight becomes really fun- the need for coordination, keeping the Spore clouds out of the way, etc. It is also very obviously a lategame boss; the drops are exactly what players on long term worlds need, which is long lasting (or endless) light, another way to stifle hunger and have the spores that power the lights with it, and maybe a napsack which is supposed to be a lategame panflute but doesn't really live up. And idk if anyone shares this opinion, but Toadstool is the perfect candidate to be fought with Thulecite Club. As for CK, I still have some weird hope that the fight becomes better when more ocean content appears. A reinforced boat, a drilling machine that can be used as a weapon, I don't know, something absolutely crazy I couldn't come up with. CK very much encourages you to not fight yourself- that's what I did, I got Bunnymen to gnaw at him while I fixed the boat. Other than getting the bunnies, he's not that much of a resource sink, at least for me. On one hand, it's tedious to gather all the stuff just to fight a boss. On the other, that's just life.

ArubaroBeefalo Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 i do toad in winter/spring so i can use morning star plus having moon glases makes the fight waaaaay less costly and short Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuuko Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I'm not against them since you can decently cheese them both if you want. afaik bees still work on ck yeah? If nothing else - they are a variant of difficulty which breaks the monotony of standard bosses, even though they are a bit monotonous themselves XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheggf Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I don't think Toadstool is a resource dump at all, he's just designed to be fought as a group of 2-4. If you fight him as a group he's one of the best fights in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretPizzaMan Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 A raid boss is when the spider queen decides to establish a independent slave state and Webber brings his hordes because only he can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t fought this boss yet but I would assume if it heals from the trees near it, common sense says burn away the trees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can burn them BUT they take forever to burn, meanwhile still provide him the resistance boost, and once they finish burning they leave the spoor cloud behind. idk burning 1-2 isn't bad, but you don't wanna rely on burning them all.

Sinister_Fang Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I feel like we just need bosses that scale with the amount of participating players already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you have many people, they are pretty bad. 7 hours ago, SecretPizzaMan said: A raid boss is when the spider queen decides to establish a independent slave state and Webber brings his hordes because only he can do that. *cough cough* no that would be ridiculous...

GenomeSquirrel Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I despise them, but I understand the game needs some kind of goal after the seasons and hound waves are managed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octohunter777 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Yeah I guess. I mean, I enjoy the combat but some of the bigger bosses with more health are just kind of annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
