STOP SHOOTING THE PART IM ATTACHED TOO

[SnoopVee]

basically the last two bosses are IMPOSSIBLE to do in public matches. Got it lol. Trying to get randoms to be on the same page with very little to no communication is going to be a nightmare.

[ondrejvasak]

In the swamp walker enrage phase, if you stay right next one of his legs and shoot his weak points on the next leg, he can't actually hit you. The legs create blind spots for his weapons, he basically can't touch you if you time it right and keep moving from leg to leg while killing weakpoints. You can easily clear the whole enrage phase without taking any damage at all.

[BabaYaga]

I actually had no idea the damage to the weak point armor was still a weak point post armor break

[nip]

Humming birds rapidly fill the enrage that's why you want to kill them, not because they are healing

[prancingpiranha]

'Devourer is easy'. Playing through the game it was the first boss I actually struggled with. Think it took like 6 attempts after failing because of time limit, because I didnt know and the randoms MM put me didnt know in the early runs that the pylons healed him and they dont go away until he is full. I genuinely struggled with this boss until I looked up how to beat him.

Been loving the videos. Keep pumping them out

[ZeroMegu]

I somehow didn’t know you could shoot Pyromaniac’s orb. I either tried to roll out the way or take cover. Thanks man!

[skraag]

Learned several mechanics I didn't know. Great vid!

[coldfries]

This is MASSIVE bro!
I didn't progress into the hard bosses after Dead Bride, so this will be perfect.

I hope a lot of players see this, it would make public matchmaking a lot more reliable.

[kompott_addict]

Amazing, i actually didnt know about the rage Bar not increasing while im on his shoulder or he is down.

[rageexe]

Bless u on educating people about Immune skip❤If u can turn it into a Short/reel it would reach more people

[davit_nguyen]

I’ve been helping as many people I can in normal and hard mode. Knowing what the boss rage mechanic is good but investing in your mods for your weapon and your character survivability is going to make a difference.

[perlance]

another tip for hard mode executioner: Post frenzy/immune phase he has a HUGE defence buff (the green icon you see under his hp bar) you can remove this buff with: Eesimos 4 skill, The ultimate sniper (forget its name) and the absolute curse descendant module, it makes him an absolute cakewalk.

[kbutta]

They should copy Monster Hunter system of breaking parts increases drop chance of rarer stuff they can tie specific weak points to specific drops. That can make the fights more interesting by including breaking specific parts to changing boss mechanics like unlocking stronger weapon for the boss or changing the movement speed of the boss if particular components are broken. Just add some variety to each boss fights. Maybe breaking head armor unleashes a new attack pattern or something. Just throwing ideas out.

[kylecolley]

Another little time saving trick I've found while fighting bosses:
Your guns still continue to finish reloading even during the [whiteout/position change] section of a teleport>slam. So go ahead and get that magazine topped up while you're waiting to double-jump and grapple away 🤙

love the video! I really wish the boss screens at least kinda *alluded* to there being some kind of special mechanic in some of these fights to look out for. I feel like aside from DPS and tank checks- the random mechanics are what throw a lot of battles for people coming into a intercept fight for the first couple goes. I think I had to take on Hanged Man about 20 times the first time through because not a single person was aware as to why we all died 2 mins in and how to stop it.

[aspiringstar]

Get that Viessa build video out my Ult Viessa just got done crafting XD 🤣

[Calaxanasgaming]

Good stuff MOXSY this will help the endgame guys farm as the new guys will finally know the mechanics repost is a must

[thorinhannahs]

Thank you for putting this out there. There are a ton of people who just want to steamroll the entire game and not engage with the Intercept mechanics. I just did a bunch of Hard Dead Bride runs only two failed. If all my party goes down over and over, I can't res them all inside of the snow globe. Also seeing double Ult Viessa in a Dead Bride is now worse than seeing double Bunny.

[jayojha]

My man's content is so good, thank you so much for these❤

[raffay]

wish i knew this all earlier :D currenlty going through Hm bosses and on frost walker . TY for the guide !! keep it up
