Only Boss so far i disliked besides the """"boss"""" that was the Eldest Brother fight. 2nd phase felt really forced and honestly wasn't a fan of most of this guy's attacks. Even after adapting my build i still just couldn't get it down and really hated the stupid Dig Attack that he just decides to delay or change which side he's emerging from, alongside his really dumb phase 2 attack where he does the giant overhead slam with one hand that tracks you perfectly even when far away for some reason. I can see why people might like him but he's not that good in my opinion. His design is a bit too loud. Better than the bad gank fight though.

He "un-alived" the real Alidoro, who dropped the Two Dragons Sword

I thought he was really cool and fun! I like how he's green and ****ed up

the trick to the fury charge attack is to turn around and run away; not to the sides, straight back. it starts losing momentum when it catches up to where you were when it started, and will come to a stop right in melee range for you to bonk it in response. if you're having trouble with the dig move, you can block it normally. it's a back attack like romeo's close range pull move, but unlike that one there's no followup that makes turning around impractical. i also stepped back (towards the burrow site) while blocking to make sure it hit my guard properly, though that can make its targeting behave awkwardly if you're already at close range so look out for that.

People really out here defending this trash.

Shrek?

Submit

Worst boss in the game, not even close.

Submit

Only neowiz can ruin a perfectly fine boss with a single bullshit attack. Like, even when its attacks are weird in the second phase i can still kinda internalize the timing since its combos are always consistent, and then out of a sudden it pulls that bullshit red attack charge when i have no time to move out of the way and i lose my progress

NOT EVERY BOSS NEEDS TWO PHASES HOLY ****

Submit

I only just noticed that the body he possesses in the second phase is the same as the scrapped watchman. He even uses some of the same attacks

Can't get enough of the extreme amount of salt in every single fextralife comment section

this boss wrecked me when i first saw him in ng. it's definitely one you have to learn, but once you do, you can no hit his first phase and pretty easily take down his 2nd phase with patience.

1. his underground dig can be avoided by sprinting away as soon as he begins to dig, once he surfaces, he'll miss and you have time to let off a combo or 2 full charged heavies;
2. his fury charge can be perfect parried right when he's roughly 1 meter from you, staggering him and allowing for a charged heavy;
3. for his left smash, right smash, both arm fury smash combo: parry the first two swings and strafe or roll around to his side when both arms are in the air and he'll miss you allowing you to punish him;
4. when he does a little head shake, he's about to swing his antenna and shift himself back, here you can roll back as soon as he does his head shake and he will miss;
5. he does a long range poke with his antenna which never hit me, just stay mobile by strafing and this will almost always miss;
5. for phase 2: has a similar move set as scrapped watchman, so parry his twirly arm combo including the fury attack but stay directly in front of his head when you do so that he misses the follow up tentacle swing, here you will be able to punish with a charged heavy
6. his charge in this phase is the same, except he'll continue doing it for 3 "runs" unless you perfect parry, which you can and should do when his face is about 1 meter away from you.
7. dodge roll toward his jumps until he settles down, each jump gives you the chance to create some distance and reset
8. his tentacle frenzy move, once you see his head rotate to move his tentacles to the front, he'll do a sideways crab walk while swinging his tentacles wildly. just step back when you see his head begin to rotate and wait until he's done swinging. i found this to be a great opportunity to close the distance and punish with the fully upgraded puppet string or even a fable attack.

hope this helps and best of luck, he was a super satisfying boss to defeat.

While I can't confirm it, it seems like the second phase has significant Physical resistance compared to the first phase. This means you'll need to use Electric Damage to actually deal any real damage to him. Learn the first fight without using any grindstones and just use an electric grindstone/Abrasive for the second phase.

NG+ was hell with this one.
I spent like 10 hours throughout 4 days. I committed to own the fight without a phantom

My winning build:
1. wrench+10 with mjolnir handle. Good reach. Gives lots of stagger potential, handle fable art for easy perfect parries. Big help on the second phase, in particular with charge and red ground slam after which the boss is wide open (if you are in front of him)
2. Extreme modification, conquering, arm of god and weight amulets. Maxing damage output
3. Maxed puppet string. Attack link is great. I topped it with legion auto regen upgrade on p organ
4. Electric grindstone - 2 uses, both during the second phase

god this wiki sucks

Hardest fight in the game on NG imo.

Most bullshit second phase of all time

Some tips for this boss (no cheese, no specter):

Phase 1:
-The fury charge can't be avoided in the way the guide described. Instead, I found parrying it to be the most sure way to avoid taking damage
-When he burrows, run away, and just as he is about to reach you, roll.
-When he shakes his head, he is ready to use his decay ability where he flings out with his antennae. Hold block and when it begins, dodge to the right

Phase 2:
-The arm windup attack is a good opportunity to get in some hits. Just as it is about to hit, parry. He'll wind his next arm. Get some hits in, then parry. Get more hits in, then parry the fury smash attack.
-As soon as he extends his other arms and goes on all fours, run like hell. He's about to start a flurry of attacks.
-The charging attack he does in this phase will come in sets of three. This can be stopped by a parry, which allows for some free hits

Soloed with holy sword + landmine
Not a good strat this thing is so hard to stagger

This point out the problem of the design imo.

U can block the decay proc from whip. So they made it if u don't block it proc almost instantly. And the decay bs shouldn't be staying on u like poison. If it directly decrease your durability u couldve fix it immediately

And the person design this really has no chill...it has so many attacks

It just force u to do perfect guard only which i did last round
Otherwise u can't stagger it

For the easy win:

Prep: Used flame grindstone, resistance ampule (prevents Decay), and Specter. Make sure your Fable Arts meter is maxed out.

Phase 1: Cut the mf down with your Specter and DO NOT use any ranged attacks. You can toss Fire Canisters when it's stunned or charging but this can be difficult for some.

Phase 2: Sharpen your weapon with shock grindstone as needed. Take another resistance ampule. Use Fable Arts after Boss's initial charge attack. Confirm the Boss is fixated on Specter, then inject 3 Fable Catalysts to replenish your meter. Check on Specter's health and use Friendship Wishstone as needed. Use Fable Arts again. Now for the range attacks! Use Falcon Eye Legion Arm (all bullets), then throw 6 Thermites, 6 Throwing cells, and 6 Sharp Pipes. If it's still alive... continue to run around while you load a Legion Magazine and shoot it again.

Phase two is bullshit fast spam dysrhythmic attacks...

I ****ing despise Tigrex and this reminds me of it, so i fcking hate this thing too now.

My only problem with this boss is the name. Should be Calles Brown/Grey Monster of the Swamp.

I don't get the hate for this boss I found his moves so easy to understand

Submit

Phase one has its issues but doable.

Phase “hahaha what if we made a reskinned boss but more spastic? OMG imagine the rage, the malding, the epic control bashing! Maybe someone will feature us in a salt compilation. Oh well, we made throwables so OP players will probably forgive us our boss design sins.” Two.

Submit

Hardest boss in the game for me

Submit

”Hey, looks like I finally won a boss in Lies of P first-try

Right? …right?

Oh, phase 2 *again*, here we go…”

(Honestly, my only qualm with the otherwise fantastic game — more 1 phase bosses that are not marathon length, please!)

Submit

I think this might be the Lumacchio that Medoro mentions. Lumaca was a character in the original Pinocchio, and it literally means Snail.

Submit

Does he become weak to Electric dmg in 2nd phase?

Submit

For anyone running a technique build. 10/10 recommend Falcon Eyes for 2nd phase. Run from the attack where it flips on its back, pump it full of lead. Then use legion magazines when you have time running around it's jumps. If you can handle the other attacks with at least semi competently the Falcon Eyes will carry you the rest of the way.

Submit

First Phase has arround 10k hp
and second arround 6k hp
Yes i did all that damage in 1 combo ofc with spectre
Using FIre and eletric throwables and also the thingy that enchants ur wep

Submit

When you defeat this boss you get the carcass victory "Eliminated" icon thing. But I think it's carcass in phase 1 and in phase 2 it may be classed as a puppet fight. I'll use equipment geared towards fighting puppets since phase 2 seems harder.

Submit

1st playthrough used the spectre. Even with a spectre healing cube it was tough! Now trying it again solo and boy-o-boy it's a challenge :)

Submit

tentacles are the worst in this game especially on tough enemies and bosses like this one

Submit

Boss is garbage design in 2nd phase. Flail around with tiny gaps in between.. only neck beards would defend this bullshit.

Submit

Call me crazy but I liked this boss, phase 2 was good flavor and nothing felt unfair

Submit

Flying spaghetti monster lookin ahh

Submit

I recommend staying quite close to the boss in phase 1 as it will forgo most ranged attacks like charge in favor of easily parryable sequences of slam attacks similar to phase 1 of Andreus.

Submit

I would love this game so much more if every single wasn't flailing around all over the place and the dodge wasn't so tight. Or that even when you dodge the enemy doesn't just zip across the arena or pivot 180 so that you almost always get hit

Submit

First phase seems weak to fire and is pretty easy to deal with.

Second phase seems weak to electric shock and only took me a few tries after trying the electric grindstone.

Submit

No matter how well you do 1st phase, they find a way to dispatch the spectre and use up your pulses with bs aoe attacks with perfect tracking

Submit

Really? Another? Another two boss fights in one? Did they just run out of ideas and say "**** it let's just make them all with two HP bars and call it a day." ?

Submit

They really just gave another one a 2nd phase and it's just a re-do of the first boss, but with extra hits weaved in.. really?

Submit

Smoky progg finally got an upgrade

Bone-cutting saw with exploding pickaxe handle. Aegis to stop charge, heavy attack and stun.

Maybe this is meant to be monstro or something.

Either way the 1sT phase is easy then he gets that multi run charge thats super annoying
