So just 2-Manned Duke for the first time, but we got destroyed on the 5th phase (I was up to 160 CE to Rez, 80 on Partner. Decided to stop it there)
Those slag guards make it so annoyingly difficult! Constantly on my ass, evading swings, evading fire that's pretty much everywhere, avoiding charges, avoiding falling debris. It's insane!
How does everyone else do it?
Bring them to the top? >.> But they follow me all around! I don't understand your language, sir.
Cryptic.
[I'd just log on and send you a tell detailing this movement of bumping them up but this isn't the right computer.]
Ah. Well. My IGN is Deslare if you find the right computer.
My assumption is that you turn them to Stone, then let them rest? So that they won't respawn?
When you fight Vanaduke, the first phase he calls out 4 Slag Walkers.
Kill 2, then lead or push the other two to the top right corner. Hopefully you brought a freezing weapon or a freezing vial from one of the previous floors, pop em with it. After, just stay away from the top right. Since he still has minions still alive, he never spawns more, including no Slag Knights.
Honestly, I say just leave one, but others told me leave two for safety's sake.
It removes the whole mini harassment factor for all the other phases while fighting him.
Cantus, the freeze isn't that long, do we have to keep going back and refreezing them or am I missing something?
Presumably when the ice breaks, they'll forget all about you as long as you stay out of their sight range.
Go back to your fanfic Esp xD
Keep shield-pushing until it de-aggros. Might take a few trys.
Once its there, watch out for stray fire from your guns and water bubbles.
The freezing doesn't have to last long, it just needs to last long enough. The idea is you lock the enemies in place (in this case, a place that's out of the way) and then go off screen. Once you're far enough, they should hopefully ignore you and go back to being moaning statues for the rest of the fight, again assuming you don't go over to attract their attention again or miss with a water ball and smack one.
Have one of you deal with vanaduke and one of you handle the slags.
Make sure the vanaduke guy stays in one side of the room and the slag in the other side, they're easy to handle without Vanaduke down your throat and if you still have difficulties just use one of the corner pillars to stop them from moving to much.
I love how the preferred method for beating vanaduke is to bug out his adds.
I blame the AI.
I'm surprised no one mentioned how easy it is to lure vana to get 'stuck' between the fountains. Or the corner safe spots.
Lol, Sick. We accidentally did got him stuck on a fountain in his third phase. We were like "Srs? I think he's stuck!"
Vanaduke gets stuck a lot.
We told the devs, but you know. They don't read bugs involving Vanaduke.
as the ol' rings make Slag Guards spawn at the battle's start now.
[pls dont kill us]
They're already dead! Why kill them again?
I propose we bring them to the top, and never bother them again. Restless souls, and the fight's just begun! Too soon for another passing.
