Sure. Must've just spammed quen back when I was playing blind, but folks on yt had it figured out. Still a hell of a challenge to avoid getting rushed down... or completely trivial with a beefed up geralt.
@@Hachimen Yeah, I tried that first but I played on dark, so every hit was either half my health or a one shot if it was from behind. Combine that with the stagger from getting too close to the wizzard/gargoyles jumping on your head and the invisible barriers and it managed to piss me off enough to look up how someone else managed to win.
fake, you didn't get stuck on the tiles near pillars /s nice work. But still you never encountered any glitches that trouble me - stucking on tiles, shock aura not disappearing from operator...
Appreciate a comment from someone who's actually tried this fight. At 0:49, you can notice that I do indeed get hindered by the surrounding rubble. :) It took extensive practice to learn to mitigate these little pitfalls, but the general idea is to visualize a path you roll along that resembles a square and falls outside of the invisible pillars, as outlined by the bricks in the tiles. To a trained eye, you can actually observe this difference in strategy compared to my earlier vid of this fight. The shock aura (Quen?) duration appeared consistent in the EE version with displaced pillars that I'd played.
@@Hachimen As someone who struggled deeply with those corners, I feel the pain. I made a short yt video half dedicated to how annoying they were here ua-cam.com/video/zC2nuLvBbAU/v-deo.html Another thing is you occasionaly get hyper aggressive gargoyles that slide across the entire room to kill you in one hit. Felt so good to finally beat it on try 30+ lol
@@Niftiest112 Excellent vid, lol. You managed to capture a lot of the crap that happens in this. I had to take advantage of those little nooks in textures at the edges because of the immense RNG aggression. It's very easy to underappreciate how difficult they really are to avoid.
Never thought about using aard to deal with the gargoyles, thanks for the idea, I beat this guy within the next 3 tries thanks to that.

ive played the game like 10 times, not once ive buffed my aard so hard. thats insane!
gargoyles get stunned easy, no need for that
Impressive.
Thanks / dzięki! Getting used to those invisible pillars was a challenge to say the least. (One of the updates bugged the map somehow.)
I'm telling you blizzard and thunderbolt with a attack mutagen build is the best solution against the operator.
The goal of this challenge wasn't to trivialize the fight, but to beat the boss melee with only a few upgrades and mediocre enough weapons.
@@HachimenYour fighting skill is definitely exceptional, i posted that comment for people who might be finding it hard to beat this guy.
