Sirus fight is making me quit POE
" The last phase is frustrating, yes. But also the colors....everything is black and red...I can't see shit. The first boss in 7.5 years of PoE that I truly start to hate. “Human decency is not derived from religion.

Good to hear that i'm not the only one who really starts to hate this boss. Last league i thought he wasn't that bad and i managed to beat him on my 3. try on awakener level 5 (i think it was). But this league... wtf happened to him? I just die once during the last phase and i struggle so much to get back into the fight that it's literally game over already. Big problem is, that he spamms EVERY instant killing attack of him without a real delay. Geez, why making the first 3 phases so easy and the last nearly impossible?

I barely played in 3.9. Got to 24 challenges in 3.10 and worked out how the new atlas worked properly.
Spawned Sirius. Watched video. Managed the first 25%. Then died either moving the vortex things around or to the Maze. I was playing a necro build. How on earth can you even SEE the maze with minions everywhere? Plus as an older gamer my reactions are slower than they used to be. Now the other conquerors fights I though were mainly ok. You could learn the tactics - didn't need that fast reactions. But Sirius is something else. Just really stupid mechanics. |

i ve now downed sirus 3-4 times in a row and every time it a miserable experience. as i ve mentioned before, this is the worst designed fight in arpg history. it should be taken out of the game completely.
Shitysushi - Arrow shooting build.

" If I could be arsed to actually critique the Sirus fight, I would've typed out the above post word for frickin' word. Right on, man. Even your signature is spot on. Thanks for caring enough to post. I've given up. I thought GGG was the one gaming company that actually listened to their player base... guess that's what I get for thinking. Weeks of grinding to make it to my first Sirus fight. Now another 20+ maps to get another six portals to try again? No thanks. |

Playing a VD build for the lulz. Barelly can see shit, expecially aoe shitty ground effects.
Sirus must be reworked or removed ASAP. "There's no thing like random one-shots in this game. You only die because you take 353,456,237 hits in 0.2 seconds."

well, it's over. it was good game, but then they broke my will by this terrible torturing fight. i just cant't win, i just't can't see what's going on. playing melee buiid i just dont know where to run while all my screen is covered in red and black explosives and rays and clouds, but if i occasionally find him and draw close he dissapears and one shots from offscreen. i tried 3 times and couldn't. he beat me, i'm defeted. it's time to move on. thank you ggg, it was nice game, nice 2K hours of gameplay except couple spent on my pity attempts to defeat what you have created. i quit. uninstalled. farewell.

Played this game more than 5k hours and i think i'm about to quit. There are SO many bullshit things happening during the fight it's not even funny. Worse thing is i can't SEE SHIT.
Even when i defeat it deathless i feel nothing but frustration. They say they are proud of their boss fights and if this is the direction they wanna go with poe 2 then i'm out. I don't want to play some arpg version of dark souls. The fight is %90 invulnerable phase for crying out loud. You are literally fighting the environment.

" Honestly if you've actively played 2000 hours and can't tell what's happening in this fight even after trying several times, watching some streamers, and looking at a mechanics guide or two, you might be better off finding a different game. Everything damaging in this fight is either very red or very black, and the arena floor is a sort of light grey stone color. The Uber Elder grey poop on a grey floor is way harder to notice than anything in this fight and everyone seems pretty ok with it. Alternatively, since you've played thousands of hours, spend one more day to level any non-melee character. It's not that melee can't beat him, you just have to actually understand the mechanics to beat him with the added positional requirement of being in melee range for the last phase. Play basically anything else while you get used to the visual/audio queues and get a feel for the flow of the fight. Or, if you're just frustrated about missing the actual kill/rewards, see if you can find a reputable streamer online to rescue runs you've blown most of the portals on while practicing. Most of them can easily salvage it deathless even if you just lay dead on the floor doubling his health. Then, you can still practice the fight without missing out on the loot drops and story completion in the meantime. |

" oh dont't even compare UE and this shit, firstly, you are prerared to uber elder when you reach him because you already fought him and shaper and it's just 2 of them. second - you always can tell what he and shaper are doing and where they are. i fought UE many times and there were times when he defeated me, but i never was so frustrated (except one time - first or second time when i desperatly tried to kill himm at my last portal when shaper was still alive - he was at empty HP bar and just didn't die at all. i must say its another one element of shitty design when you just dont understand why it doesn't die). i hate catherine also, but at least she doesn't oneshot you even at 83 level and you have time to figure out what the game wants from you. i don't care about rewards, i just don't want to feel helpless and cheated. i never complained about dyint to delve or temple bosses (last could be more tought i think but im speaking about mechanics). |
