Sirus fight is making me quit POE

Very curious how much money Sirus cost to GGG since its "release".
It sealed my wallet.

Never forget: There are always doors. They make us all happy. Doors !

Sirus fight should really have more doors

I would pay money for a hidden boss that was basically an animated pile of doors for novelty of the joke alone . all of its attacks are movement impairing

:'D

lol

Tru Sirus must scream:

"

Take the atlas..

BUT THE DOORS!
ALL DOORS I WILL BURN TO THE GROUND!

Ended up killing Sirus in A7 later Delirium. Can't remember if I died or not. Just fought him for the first time this league. 5.7k hp, 500es, ele capped, positive chaos res, some spell block, no watchstones (A0).

1. Spent several minutes waiting for the fight to start. Seemed to get caught in a loop of the volcano explosions & Rain of Stars. Could not get the fight to trigger no matter how many times I ran underneath him. Eventually get 1-shot to one of the volcano explosions with no audio cue.
2. Come back to the fight, and it actually starts this time. Sirus keeps instantly phasing every time I hit him. Comes down from his chair, gets hit, immediately goes back up. Repeat. Eventually whittle him down to ~1/3 hp. Takes forever. Giant pain in the ass. At some point, storms block me in up on the section above the stairs. Can't escape the lightning storm that 1-shots me.
3. Hear the audio cue for Sirus's 'Die' beam, so I flame-dash away -- right into his avatar's volcano explosions. The only safe area is back the way I came. I flame-dash back -- right into the die beam. 15-20 minutes into the fight and I've had maybe 30 seconds of actual gameplay.
4. Get stuck behind three storms surrounding the entrance. Run to the upper gap; storm A & B overlapping. Run to the lower gap; storm B & C overlapping. Run back to the upper gap and wait. Nothing. Run back to the lower gap. There's a tiny sliver of space between storms B & C, but not enough to get by without risking another death. Run back to the upper gap. Nothing. Wait. The storms are supposed to move, right? Run back to the lower gap. None of the storms have moved. It's been at least 3 minutes of just waiting. I risk the sliver of space. Sirus comes down from his chair. He says, 'Die.' I flame-dash away. Right into his avatar's lightning storm. It 1-shots me. I alt-f4. 20-30 minutes of a boss fight, maybe 2% of which was spent actually engaging the boss.

2nd fight of of this shitass league. 1st fight ended with all 6 deaths in the final phase w/ a corrupted blood jewel.

1. 1-shot to Rain of Stars. Literally nothing on my screen. The visual cue appears 2-3 seconds after my death.
2. 1-shot to Rain of Stars again. I don't know if I was lagging or what, but the visual cue appeared and it popped before I could flame dash away.
3. Same thing as 2, but with the volcanoes this time. Visual cue, try to flame dash, die before I can click the button.
4. ??? It was in the final phase and total fucking bullshit, that much I remember.
5. I know I'm lagging now, but I've wasted half a level of XP already so I decide to dash my dumbass against the rocks one more time. Sirus does his 'Die' beam, and I flame dash away. I get away . . . and then get teleported back to where I initially flame-dashed and get stomped like I was fuckin desynched or some shit.
6. I get back to the fight, the game lags, I watch a frozen screen, the game unfreezes, my character runs into a flame jet volcano-thingy, and falls over.

The last two are whatever -- the dangers of playing an online game with the potential to lag. I mean, they pissed me off as much as the others, but 95% of that is the previous deaths putting me on tilt. None of the other boss fights in the game are this much of a shitshow. Except Catarina, I guess. Both are just a clusterfuck of poor design.

So true; This Boss-Fight is so broken. I entered the Zone after a death in last phase and i was killd 5 times by the offscreen "Die"-Beam. That's the most broken an unfair Boss-Fight in PoE for me.
20k Amrour, 9k ES an no corrupted blood jewel ... no chance; maybe bugged fight. No Fun.

Sirus is my favorite boss because he's one of the easiest and fastest one to kill even with 5K HP. Think I ran at least 50 - 70 Sirus A8 in Heist and didn't lose a single one.

I hope they'll make Maeven a lot harder than Sirus.

It's been a year

I am a casual player i come back play the league 2 weeks to a month and it's been a year where i attempt every time to beat Sirus on Awakening 0 and I always fail and it's always the last phase

this last time i got 5k hp maxed res positive chaos res, endless flasks you name it


he is simply unbeatable to me as a casual player and they you lose the fight and you need to do 35 to 50 maps to "attempt" again
its just madness how this game is turning into a frustrating fiasco just because a handful elite can speed run end game bosses

this is not dark souls stop making it one

oh and i just saw a video of the Maven fight...yeah I am not going to even try

just GGG do us a favor...I am fine with you making hard bosses but stop gating lore behind them its just not fun for casual players


and next time you wonder why most returning players stop by yellow maps...consider that your game is a bit too hard for casual and new players

Just swinging by to say I hated this boss when it released, and I still hate it a year later.

Constantly teleporting, with lots of negative space on the arena that makes him hard to track (Not to mention he summons clones of himself) and mechanics that punish you by being far away from him are completely unfun.

Shaper, Elder and Uber Elder never did this and they're the best fights in this game. If I die to one of them, it feels fair. When I die to Sirus, it doesn't feel fair. It feels rigged against me because it's so hard for me to track his constant teleporting around. Atziri felt mostly fair, barring the times where she just locks you in a corner with massive overlapping aoes and there's nothing you can do about it. Still better than Sirus.

Maven is her own class of BS, mainly the DDR mechanic. . . during. . . spinning. . . lasers? Who thought that was a good idea, seriously? I seriously want to know the kind of person who thought a mechanic like that was healthy for this game.

Your killing your game with these excessively convoluted and unfun fights. Your killing your game by adding more and more things that punish you for not playing builds with obscenely high defenses, or builds that can offscreen literally everything. Please. Stop. Heist sealed my wallet, after seeing nothing being done to Sirus, and the constant unfair oneshots that you insist on. This league is about to push me away from the game entirely, because it's going beyond the scope of what's feasible for most people who play this game.

I want to get better at this game, and I try really hard to better myself whenever I play and learn from my mistakes. But this game is giving me less and less opportunities to do that. Between Sirus killing me because I blinked or lost track of him for half a second, and random map mobs just completely annihilating me without any clear visual "HEY THIS WILL ONESHOT YOU" (Looking at you, Sirus mobs!)

If you can farm these fights with one hand behind your back, and both eyes closed, that's fine, I honestly respect that. But you're not the majority of the people who play this game, and the sheer length of this thread is proof of that. It's not fun anymore GGG. It's just tiring, and makes me wanna go play another game.

I'm a simple man, get a +1 against Sirus

Released in 2013 and they still have no idea how to design a boss fight... pathetic!

I just dont understand the logic behind getting 1-shot by him off screen? It just doesn´t make sense to me. The average player should be able to dodge attacks and not rely on being immune to everything for 10 mirrors to be able to do this.

Why can´t he spawn in sight somewhere and do his death beam?

99% of the time I have to run around trying to find Sirius and just realizing where he is when i am dead....

This is pure torture! And a stupid waste of time. Why farm 40 maps to spawn this dude when it is rng to kill him with average gear!!!

then make him rng spawn too. That would be fine with me
