Deidaku Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Hey guys. Don't you think it's kinda dissapointing that lephantis can't be really defeated using melee weapons? What do you thin could be done to change that without turning him into a weak boss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyrn Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 The stuff teased in both Prime Time and the recent Devstream could potentially make it much easier to fight Lephy melee only. As it is, Glaive/Prime and Kestrel work...very slowly, but I can't say I've seen success or even tried with many others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somedude1000 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 If anyone could share the tactics on how to do so, id gladly share with them my friendly friendship T_T I've seen a video where a bunch of dudes did it melee only, but im told that was a bug. Even with the new tactics it would be very hard to aim for his fleshy spots :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatchias Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 One idea I had (and posted about earlier) would be for Channeled melee attacks to "break" his armor and open up weakpoints where you hit so that you can actually damage him without needing to boost yourself upwards.

GinKenshin Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 well, pretty much all the bosses can be killed with melee, so why not exclude a few bosses (Lt Lech Kril, general Sargas Ruk, Vor and Lephantis), just to make things more interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's too high, and has far too much health/armour to beat with melee. Even with the channeling leap, you won't be able to reach him reliably to beat him.

Acos Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Maybe the next couple of bosses could have a gimmick where melee is easier than ranged. Similar to how the Arctic Eximus works in that his shield reflects bullets, but it doesn't stop you from walking in and cutting everyone apart with your sward. We are apparently getting air-attacks with much better hit-boxes soon, so that might make bosses like Lephantis do-able, but I imagine that the accuracy of a gun will still be preferred overall. I think it's probably okay that a few bosses benefit more from ranged weaponry, otherwise the developers are going to be very limited in the ways they can make a boss challenging.

You should be able to run on his arms and jump on his head to melee him but nope...>_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyreuzs Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 in my opinion it's the best way as it is at the moment, because you have to show skills by only shoot the red marked parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Hanged_Man Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Don't you think it's kinda dissapointing that lephantis can't be really defeated using melee weapons? No. It's a zelda boss. You have to use the correct weapon type to kill it. What do you thin could be done to change that without turning him into a weak boss? Make a boss like lephantis that you can hit with melee. the game is still in beta so I can wait :) The game is in beta in name only, TBH. Better to say that you're content with the game as-is and await future updates eagerly:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
