someone killed a rock shifter thing my fav hoxies animal so I team killed the rest on extraction felt good
I think the hardest miniboss was actually your team repetitively dying. Good playing dude!
happens to the best of us and i love them all the same. but thanks!
🥲 i don't have that problem
yeah playing with shitters will do that to you
I never die from bugs, only friendly fire and explosions
@@zombievikinggaming4258you forgot fall dmg
Bet-C has killed me more once she's "helping" than when she's "purposely trying to kill you" T-T
so true, especially on like, mini-mule missions. she'll just straight up block you, and on top of that, she'll toss bombs into the uplink zone. it's a huge pain
Betsy is a hardcore Yandere that disapproves of you being near anything else.
I swear she's still targeting me while pretending to attack the bugs, she only ever throws bombs at bugs that are literally at my feet. WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF THE SWARM BET-C? HMMMMMM?
@@raisinsmakemeuncomfortable6893You forget that Molly is trying to kill you too. The AI hasn't quite figured out how to take over the space station, so they are low-key eliminating dwarves as they can. All hail. The robot overlords.
while the korlok is an ammo sink, i think bet-c is definitely the most threatening mini-boss. her 2 attacks are very hard to dodge and since she moves it can be hard to LOS her like the korlok. You also have to move around her to get at the charge suckers so it can be quite tough depending on your setup. She's also never worth the reward. korloks, prospectors and corruptors all give rewards and the nemesis is a pushover.
I lost a haz 5 extraction to a prospector, it was right at the end of the mission and we we're BEARLY hanging on then someone finds a prospector when kiting a massive hoard and brings all the prospecter spawns as well as a massive swarm back to me and both of our downed teamates as I'm resing one I get taken out by a patrol bot missile immeadiatly and the one who was kiting got got by a goo bomber and promptly swarmed.
wow… it’s almost as bad as i expected. stories of prospectors ending runs just hits differently than the rest of the bosses
Agreed that was a mixture of incredible embarrassment and hilarity
That's 100% your friends fault because prospectors will ignore you completely unless you damage them.
@@carljohan9265 not quite, if you get close they also trigger.
@@gamergeekbcw9703 Yea but you need to basically touch them for that to happen, so the point still stands.
Your friend's fault.
Does the OMEN tower count? Because I would definitely say that gives the korlok a run for its money
i would say it does, yeah. omen is probably the second hardest boss for our group
Depends on the configuration. If you're unlucky enough to get a Heavy Burster/Drone Replicator tower, then yeah it's one of the hardest encounters you can find - both are deadly and very difficult to fully lock down, with varying patterns.
with some knowlege (for example, plasma-waves generator(??) panel is always on opposite side from that core thing with key(???)) omen tower is easy.
Omen towers aren't actually too hard if you prep correctly. Always use your pointer to check each section before you open the omen, and plan accordingly. If there are drones, scout should shoot the drones, so the people on the buttons don't have to worry about them.
However, all bosses can become easy if you know how to deal with them.
If you struggle with omens, look up a guide, and it will give you what you need to know
Korloks only open once a certain number of sprouts have been killed, so if no healing pods are up you can revive your team without too much issue
@@capybarinyaThe Plasma thing is actually the least of your worries with the Omen. The second and Third levels are your biggest threats. For the Plasma Burster just drop a resupply or stack 4 (or 5?) Engi platforms ontop of the scanners and that basically eliminates the Plasma Burster as a threat. If you already know this information sorry but hopefully somebody can learn from this c:
The Korlok also just... wakes up to nothing? Sometimes? Like if Bosco/Molly/some *air* _breathes_ wrong near them, they can just wake up and antagonize you when you had no intention of proc'ing their aggression.
yeah it’s a weird one! it’s very inconsistent in that regard, found that out when i was recording b-roll
one explanation for this could be stepping on the roots on the floor near them. It wakes them up and it’s not always easy to see lying on the floor due to terrain, nor does it make a sound or anything.
Driller is your friend on this one. Both flamethrower and frost cannon work good, but driller's main feature here is trenches.
Korlok not only is stationary, its spitting weeds also have fixed spawning points. Meaning that, ideally, before triggering it you should dig a few holes (like foxholes mentioned by other people) to hide from blasts. Also, driller can dig to fallen teammates and revive them if he stays alive (which wasn't the case for your team). Throwing axes are good at melee range if there's a need for quick damage burst (for the occasional healing pod or Korlok itself when it opens).
Overall, it's somewhat akin to the Caretaker or OMEN - preparation and coordination are almost half the work.
Of course, a cursed cave generation can wreck even the stongest team. Good luck!
thank you! appreciate the tips
This is absolutely true. Both of my hardest missions ever were caused by one of those weeds in a horrible location. It was so bad I installed a recording software in case it happened again and it did so there’s a video out there of that now. I can very much agree with this sentiment.
yeah gotta catch that shit on film, tired of these korloks getting away with making my life hell
Definetly agree, Korlok can hit in all the wrong ways. Unless we count omen tower as a mini boss, hate that thing, easily takes first place. Probably doesn´t help that I usually run with randoms if I play coop. Not that they are bad, but Omen needs coordination
omen can be very brutal without a coordinated team, yeah. i can't count on two hands how many times we've lost to the omen tower. i would need many, many more
if you have either engie or a lot of nitra, you can do it pretty easily. place an engie platform just above the things you stand on or a resupply pod. you should be able to dodge the annoying laser spam which is probably the one you're having trouble the most.
Ended up fighting a korlok and a corruptor at the same time the other day on a haz 4, we wiped there and went back out only to be faced with 4+ spitballers in the same room with a contagion spike. Fun times
In my experience I've only lost a mission once to the weed, while it was several times to the corruptor.
The Tyrant Weed only gave me trouble when I was new to the game but now I feel like it's the easiest. Corruptor is definitely the hardest for me because it keeps spewing out all of those annoying patches everyone and also vines and ground pounds.
No clue why but any time i have to fight this boss im suddenly either very low or just out of ammo on everything, i end up just preemptively trying to save ammo by melee-ing all the tentacles
3:15 I totally agree, BUT as the Engineer, you "could" build a wall to protect your team and the objective from the sniper plants, just saying.
GENIUS!
Definitely agree about the Korlok. It always eats through half of the team's ammo on a good spawn, but if it spans multiple caves then have a driller or die.
i agree with all your points however personally in my solo missions when i find this, i don't usually have a bad time with it. i think that might be down to the difficulty scaling with player count and that i'm on haz 4, not 5. also might be that gunner has a better time with his shield able to give me breathing room, and of course being gunner to do big dps on damage phases. would be interesting to see how i find it with a squad though, maybe there's more shooters and healers and stuff. great video!
it does actually scale with player count! i figured this out when recording some of the b-roll. it's also entirely possible that you're just a better player, too, so give yourself some credit
Pro tip: lighting the sprouts on fire disables them from firing. Iirc it won't stop the pods from healing though...
That Kris from Mr. Beast comment aged like fine milk
Korlok is definitely the hardest miniboss (only OMEN comes close and that's only if you don't have a good single target build and an engie who knows what he's doing), but there's a hard counter to it: you can freeze the sprouts. Driller with the cryo cannon (especially with snowball overclock) turns it into a pretty easy fight.
that's what i've heard! i really need to get my hands on snowball, looks fun
I remember a Korlok has extended a 4 dwarf mission to an hour long suffering marathon. It was in a deep pit so everyone fell in it
I would say the OMEN tower is most consistently the hardest boss in the game, but I'm pretty sure anyone who's spent a significant amount of time in DRG has had at least one epic encounter like this with the Korlok that made it feel like an unwinnable battle of attrition that you're going to end up getting f'd by, one way or another
11 months late to this but that is the hardest and dumbest mini boss those rocks do nothing it's just nice to look at in your hands
I was once on a industrial sabotage mission solo and like barely a minute into the caretaker fight, I just see "Korlock Tyrant-Weed" at the top of my screen. 😭
I find it depends on two factors: How long you've been in the mission (wave size and frequency) and also terrain generation. I can think of at least two occasions where i've lost a mission two a combination of these factors and advising against doing the korlock but the team want to go for it regardless. I'll always go with the team decision because it's more fun but for 1500 xp and 1050 creds it's hard to walk away from.
i agree with you completely and entirely
Yeah Korlok can definitely be rough. We were on an elimination mission and one popped up at us. We were fighting it and someone accidentally triggered the dreadnaught. Fighting a dreadnaught and korlok was damn near impossible. So many deaths but we somehow persevered. Insanity
oh wow, yeah. sounds like a rough time. fun tho
They call them TYRANT Weeds for a reason.
ah, the ammo-weed. capable of crippling an entire mission even if you manage to kill the thing.
"Complaint; So Bad; But I Love It?" Perfectly sums up DRG gameplay
I've had 3 Korloks in my last 25 missions or so, all of them on cliffs with oversight of large rooms. All of them were absolute nightmares to fight.
As scout, you can grapple to it, power attack, and unload both shotgun shells into it and using the second special powder shot to fly away (you fire the first on on the ground). You deal a LOT of damage that way, and since you're barely there for three seconds it's surprisingly safe.
I can say that it's the most annoying one for sure.
I once had a tyrant fight where it made sprouts on 3 different levels and tyrant itself was standing on a small island of land.
We spent so much nitra on it...
But I want to say that Betsy is more dangerous because she can chase you unlike the static vegetable.
bet-c is a lot harder with fewer people, i find. i guess that’s a pretty common opinion though
Just drop a resupply on the damned weed
you're smarter than me unfortunately
I recorded a whole mission where the pod was on an arch high above with the weed shooter things around the drop pod and hidden around underground. It was soooo annoying
3:09 platform gun cover solves that issue. Or driller makes a bunker under the objective.
One time it took me like 30 minutes to kill it, because it spawned in the middle of a ravine, and I kept on falling in
Bet-C is the hardest miniboss because she keeps being a pain even after you hacked her, pushing walking and shooting on you constantly
that’s the truth!
I hate that one asshole machine that says help me from a distance until you see it and then it says dwarves must die, constantly grabbing you and holding you for an unreasonable amount of time.... These tyrant weeds are EASY as hell.....
as someone who just got the 'legendary miner' achievement, I'd have to agree. Encountering a korlok tyrant in a bad cave can be a run ender. Especially on haz 5 when the moment you loose concentration 3 stray shots put you on the ground. A well built gunner or cryo driller makes life significantly easier, but sometimes you just arent built to deal with one, or your driller goes down in a bad spot, and its all over.
(edit: if you ever see this I'd love to know what track you had on in the background it was vibey af)
i try to read all my comments! first song that plays is "humming the bassline," the second one is "miller ball breakers," and the third is "everybody jump around." every song is from jet set radio!
Why he is right is we have 4 people with all ammo kits, we got every nitra we seen, and had around 4 resupplies before taking it on. We used all sups and had to kill it using melee. It's made to drain ammo and it's super stupid that it does. It doesn't help a healer plant spawned in a cave in the ceiling who's hole was not see able from below.
As main driller, you just stack some dots(1 out of primary - freeze, fire, corrosive) on three of it's appendages, then shoot the boss. Don't let it heal too. It's too easy, when you just get to kill them all.
Throw C4 on the boss, when feels necessary.
You could have built a small wall around the objective so the Korlok can't spit on you.
To one shot it just get ready to call in a resupply
But… but the green shiny rocks!
I had a korlok experience once where a meteor took out the terrain beneath the core. Was not fun trying to kill a plant floating 30 feet in the air lol
that would SUCK i'm sorry you had to experience that
my worst tyrant experience: problems started when driller drilled down through the top of a room and fell to his death, he landed right on top of a contagion spike and we couldn't get to him to revive, meanwhile there's a tyrant on a cliff at the top of the room pelting us, engineer tries making platforms but gets taken out by the tyrant, scout runs out of ammo quickly and goes off to find nitra but gets taken out by pox bugs, I'm a gunner with extra ammo overclocks but I still run out of ammo dealing with the seedlings and pox bugs. In the end I have to waddle with my gunner legs all the way over to the other side of the map, get nitra for a resupply, revive scout, we go back and kill the (now fully healed) tyrant, revive engineer, revive driller, clean the corruption and crawl back to the drop pod
sounds like a brutal mission, but i'm glad you made it through
dunno, I agree with most of these points, but I’ve never really had problems dealing with korloks. Despite the severe lack of communication in public lobbies. Only really tend to *lose* missions to omens, but do get stuck in that cycle of barely clinging on to life nearly every time I encounter a corruptor :)
It's only a problem on hazard 4, and on hazard 5 it's just hell
valid! omens are a more common killer, to my understanding. but people do tend to cheese it more often than they cheese the tyrant weed
My least favourite is the nemesis, but that because they either dont spawn or spawn IMMEDIATELY after the drop pod landed, and only when im solo or with one other person. The mission i did last night had one right out the start, then a corruptor immediaetly after
once fought a korlok weed where it was at the top of a hill and wveryone except for a very dead scout were stuck at the bottom getting bombarded
you poor bastards...
I think that the hardest boss in your game is the imposter glypid monster known as code name, Anna aka Gamma.
it's true
Being in this situation too on engie and i agree. Korlok can be a nasty, tough one, with greenbeards. Failure is always near and you scratching for nitra with dead teammates. But victory is very pleasurable on this kind of hard missions.
i absolutely agree!
you had reall good points. usually i end up fighting it with my pickaxe.
step one to counter the weed:
1: get hyper propellant and max out damage and range
2: you have created a super fast gravity defying nuke that zeros dreadnaughts and minibosses
3: you won the game as engi
I once had the twins and a korlock spawn at the end of a mining mission. The rest of my team died fighting them so I just booked it to the drop pod
SOMEONE has to get out of the mission
new nameistaylor video? day is good
These thumbnails are fire and obviously the video is pretty good too
thank you my friend
My biggest gripe with it is dwarves going in and start attacking it without doing any prep work. You have to clear out the bugs around it and get at least one resupply worth of nitra before engaging.
But no, they go in, they fail, they run out of ammo and it heals up.
very true
You can cheese korloks using Embedded Detonators on the Zhukov and Born Ready
Born Ready lets you reload without detonating, letting you stack potential damage until the little explosive indicator pops up, letting you instakill it once you expose the core by reloading normally
wow, had no idea embedded detonators interacted that way with born ready. i'll absolutely be trying this in the future, especially since that's one of my favorite overclocks in the game
I had to hold out for 10 minutes straight slowly whittling down a tyrant weed while also having to juggle fighting a bulk detonator, killed the bulk detonator only for another one to appear a few minutes later while my team mates were all down right next to the tyrant weed. I couldn’t deploy a shield or anything because I was a low level Scout and had already used my Field Medic active perk. I lost but they guys were impressed that I held out for so long despite my limited experience with the class.
that's what it's all about, rock and stone!
You can always drill the objective satillite box into the ground using driller and make an underground bunker so yall didnt have to fight the weed.
you’re smarter than we, it seems
Next to the Corrupter this thing can be papin. I find the corrupter a bit harder still, just because even if you´re prepared it can still easily go wrong
I think one supply in cover is always great, let everyone locate the core and look where all the arms are and prepare a bit if needed. Burst heads down, attack core, and burst the heads down before they get a chance to attack, shield if needed, kill healing pots, easy win very often I´d say. Still an unprepared Korlok is just so much worse then every other miniboss and it´s just importatn that you prepare and dont just go shooty shooty on it without the team beeing ready. Ping it, let them know per chat and get everyone ready and the fight will be alot more chill
tyrant weeds on flat areas are still pretty easy for me, its the ones on the edge of a cliff thats annoying, and the sprouts are also in a similarly hard to reach area
Korlok Tyrant Weed is generally the worst but I had one encounter with a Lithophage Corrupter that was worse. Firstly it was in Hollow Bough which is never good. Secondly the cavern me and online randoms fought it in was basically vase shapped (very steep cliffs with little area to stand on but lots of space at the very bottom). Because of how the corrupter basically can hurt you via its lithification trail, that meant being above this thing was a no go because the small spaces would be dangerous. However I did not forsee this and placed down the rock pox tools asap on one of the higher platforms. About 15 collective deaths later and the thing was finally down but it was a pain for me an my team. Also I believe as we were depositing core samples in Molly we got a swarm alert on Haz 4/5.
One of these mfs one time spawned on the literal top of the map and kept spamming shit down to us
You can platform wall off the section with the tyrant weed's line of sight. That way you can safely ignore it if you want. But a well built team can shred Korloks easily. That should be one of your criteria in considering any build: can I kill a Korlok quickly using this build with or without help from teammates?
Just yesterday, I was doing an escort mission where we broke down in a room right next to a Korlok. I was terrified that I would accidentally proc it and it would kill the Drilldozer. Anyway, a meteor shower started that killed one of its appendages and woke it up. I was freaking out until the meteors kept hitting its pieces and one-shot the core as soon as it opened. Free money.
FREE MONEY AND FREE XP BABY!
u have cursed my games ever since this
we've gotten like 4 weed spawned on top of the oil rig so we cant even deposit nitra
my fault gang
I had a tyrant weed fight in a hazard 4, haunted cave. Sure we had a rich environment but we did not win
Setting sprouts on fire disables their ability to shoot. The core also takes extra melee dmg, making it a prime target for crispr drillers
i will remember this next time i encounter the beast
only on higher hazards is the korlok weed a problem. I once had a mission where i was on haz 5 and we had the korlok weed and a lithophage corruptor to deal with.... my squad and I failed miserably as the korlok weed ate up all of our ammo while we were also trying to fight the hoards of bugs.
you shouldn't have and issues with the korlok weed on haz 4 and below though.
For me its the corruptor, not due to the boss itself but the roxpox it leaves behind, if your in a swarm your forced to either leave the damn fave entirely because if you stay your getting stuck, which means more is going to spread. If you clean on a higher hazzard say, my usual, 4, you get ganged in and just die, and between this more roxpox infection is being made and the boss isnt being killed and people are dying further diminishing your qbility to deal with all this stuff at once.
corruptor is absolutely a fair pick for hardest/most annoying boss
Yeah no argument here I've had some bad run ins with those weeds. Almost this exact situation was just one occasion but we did NOT make the final few seconds to the pods arrival.
happens to the best of us
had an escort duty mission once, dug into a cave with the korlok sitting in it. instead of dorretta running it over like usual, she CIRCLED THE KORLOK. WHY?
HUH?
This guy mustve of never heard of the cryo canon. Best driller gun
my favorite driller weapon
@@nameisnttaylor Nice to see youre a man of culture as well
Ahh the korlock ammo nommer!
Personally I find the omen machine to be plenty rougher than the weed to deal with, difficulty wise. At least the weed you can move around much more freely, also not have exploding drones flying directly up your ass the whole time. 😂
Oh the Tyrant Weed itself… I still remember the longest and most difficult encounter I’ve had with one.
The mission: Haz 5 max length & complexity mining, Lithophage with three spikes in Fungus Bogs
The team: Myself as gunner and my friend as engi, would consider us salt-and-pepper beards at the time
How it went: Fine for the start, knew it would be long by mission type, first lithophage done earlyish and moving towards the second after a lithophage swarm (neither of us had good weapons for this and burned through a lot). Next room SH*T HIT THE FAN as a swarm spawned right as we broke in, left with a giant fall in front of us and a sharp bend in the tunnel behind, panic drop a resupply on our ledge before a shield and leaving us with barely not enough nitra for another.
Look over at the far end of the room and the second lithophage is there with a (currently undetected) Korlok behind the meteor. We split up to go looking for materials and to start the lithophage when the Korlok pops, room is mostly open and it’s up on a slight ridge so we have basically no cover. One Iron Will gets used as both of us are sniped while trying to figure out if we should fight it now or leave it. The path forward is also behind the Korlok but we both know we need to get more nitra beforehand so we dig a tunnel around the side. A meteor drops in the last room and we do it getting out okayish for the most part, complete the rest of the objectives besides the last lithophage & Korlok.
Coming back we know we have to clear it first and now we have a resupply we can drop and about half ammo, we dig through the intended path and find the heart was somehow in a WORSE spot than the other side. Second Iron will gets used as a swarm hits us mid phase two and we back off, call our resupply in, and go back in. Healing pods seem to always drop away from us in the worst spots possible as we duck in and out of our tunnels to try and get this mission done, eventually pop it and clutch with a last-second shield on the resupply after my friend had gone down on it. Eventually we finish it off and clear out the lithophage with ~10% ammo and low health, a SECOND meteor dropping right after which we say f*ck that and finally get out with a long sprint to the drop pod.
All in all it took us an hour and twenty minutes to complete that mission and that encounter has now made us always chuckle whenever we hear MC say it’s just a ‘Simple Mining Mission’, because we know it never really is. Rock and Stone, miners!
WOW! an hour and twenty is a long time, but i can absolutely see why it took as long as it did. sometimes these "simple mining missions" just get the best of you, and there's nothing you can do about it. things get crazy on hoxxes, but i guess that's why we love it. rock and stone!
Always, the missions we remember most are the ones that go completely sideways and somehow still finish after all... or the instant deaths when you're not paying attention and run right under a dropping minehead/resupply/etc lol
@@nameisnttaylor
I found the tyrant to be pretty easy when using the driller cryo cannon.
I also noticed you like the smart rifle/lazer combo. I'd suggest electric bullets for the smart rifle and the enhanced dmg on electrified enemies for more dps (my preferred loadout)*
thanks you! i'll try and give it a whirl in the future
As a flamethrower Driller player, I find it to be pretty ok, but that's just cause I can easily kill a number of spitters at once, and drills are a good source of damage for ammo conservation if need be. Plus I run the Exploding reload OC on the subata which is a lot of damage for the damage phase. Since I am always in the middle of the Korok I tend to use the Super Melee attack (I genuinely just brainfarted on the name right now lol) which also chunks it for a lot.
thank u for the tips
I have been with random guys in better coordination than you on voice chat. Still, being greenbeards it is okay to be underprepared or easily confused. It is also a better example from a starter's POV. Thank you in general, but I have seen a worse spawn: on a shelf above a well in Hollow Bough - a tight space, hostile walls and floor, everyone falling down is doomed - no cover for those trying to revive.
I can't recall what did I do with my M1000, but it was one-tapping the sprouts oh Haz3. Try it )
btw, if you have enough ammo and are in some specific situations, just create a wall of platforms. They shouldn't be able to hit you through that!
i gotta make more platform walls!
On a deep dive we got a korlok weed 4 or 3 spitballers a brood thing and a breeder all in the same room
so messed up
Bro, you are an engineer. You could stack pile of platforms between you and Korlok ans forget about him completely
i love the hit biome gunk bogs
yum.
If you think the Korlok is hard, the OMEN tower would like you to hold its beer.
fair enough honestly
I passed level 444 last time I played and I swear, korlox are still a pain in the ass for our group. I don't what is this about them, but only times I felt satisfaction fighting it is either with drills or berserker. Makes short work of the core
that makes sense, i need to try those drills sometimes
The hardest "boss" is the Omen Modular Exterminator like god have you ever tried to beat it with the seeking drones , lasers and Radial Pulse-Gun and on top of all that weaponary you have to somehow stand still long enough to shoot out the weak points ON EACH LAYER. Whoever made this event can get dropped with all the barrels I kicked down into the drop chute.
omen is absolutely a close second for us, sometimes it feels like it deserves first place i'll admit
@nameisnttaylor Honestly depends what weapons it has located where, drastically changes how hard it is.
Doing the OMEN tower with randoms/Green beards is just a nightmare
so true
I agree with all of your points made about the tyrant weed, but one thing that is nice about it is that it's stationary. Sure you got a bad spawn point here but most of the time you can just ignore it and carry on with your mission. That's the one thing I find annoying about the prospector and corrupter is that they constantly move. The prospector isn't as bad but I play solo a lot and especially when I was playing driller it was impossible to keep track of the prospector from the ground. The corrupter I find even more annoying because you can't ignore it or you'll just get pestered by rockpox larva the whole time during the mission.
that's fair, i imagine it's even worse if they come to the objective. then it feels like you HAVE to deal with them/chase them around the map until they're dead
Yeah especially the corrupter since it spawns plague noodles@@nameisnttaylor
Omen and the lithophage corrupter are tied for hardest. Haz 5 will delete you if you get touched by an omens drone or step on the infection the corrupter spreads, if you don't clean up before each of these minibosses, they are at least four times harder than Korlok.
omen is really really rough, close second for us but i can typically solo the omen if need be. korlok not so much
@@nameisnttaylor We both have flipped experiences lol, Omen has wiped out many of my 4 dwarf missions but I haven't even failed from haz 5 korlok yet, my advice is just hide and snipe tbh
korlok is certainly very dangerous when you cant manage to take care of it fast. however its certainly not the most dangerous, as the Omen exists
omen is a close second for us
Counterpoint: satchel charges. One shots each stage with good placement
i'll give that a whirl!
ive had 2 times that korlok doomed me once the finale morkite room had one first time i encountered it and i running out of ammo from it and died as a swarm came while i was fighting it and then another time it just spawned int he tiniest lil hole and there was no room to dodge
I think that the difficulty of the tyrant weed is heavily dependent on the map generation around it, but I’d still say it’s the most difficult, especially on high haz
i definitely agree with you there, depends on rng!
The hardest boss is when one goes down amd a second one goes down while trying to revive the downed player
Now its 2 players down and suddenly its a lot less firepower and you get another rush of enemies. One of the last 2 gets downed because he forgot to heal and the last ine standing is just a matter of time till he goes down
Iron will will lead to a few futile attempts to revive gunner, but he went down either far away or hard to reach. Reviving any other player leads to again, a down
Boom. Mission killer
you're not wrong
I honestly think Korlok isnt that hard of a fight, but i had several failed missions where the Korlok spawned somewhere close to the drop pod and my teammates just started the fight without even bothering to get a resupply in the first place (that exact situation occurred maybe 3 times)
you're valid for that
can be pretty quick if your team knows what they’re doing
true…
I love stationary objective + Korlok + Harold + infected area
I almost got through it solo then died right after the Korlok
that's just the way the cookie crumbles, you know?
there are problems in your approach, lightly speaking
Lok-1 is largely a single-target weapon without Explosive Rounds OC, and you're using it for crowd clear
Shard Diffractor is alright, it can work with Lok-1, but it leaves you really defenseless to pushes. Should've taken mines or plasma nades with this setup.
But those swarmers that gave you trouble? Diffractor can easily wipe them, just beam all over the place and they'll be gone.
You brought the right tools for the job, and just didn't really use them well.
Good luck on your next trip, miner! Good vid!
I am also really biased because I use ECR Lok-1 and Hyperprop, and Korlok is a joke for that engie setup. I personally think it's good. Nemesis is worse, much worse, just don't think it's fun to fight.
i'll try out that there build you mentioned! sounds interesting, and thank you for the tips and the kind props!
Have you tried wearing your gitgud shoes?
Jokes aside, that seed can be a nightmare, especially if it gets started at a bad time.
i forgot to bring them to the space rig
I would argue that the OMEN is actually harder.
The difficult part of a Korlok is that it requires coordinated fire, otherwise it will regenerate. However, with a little prep, the stationary shooters and large hitbox can be eliminated very quickly, with little mechanical effort.
On the other hand, an OMEN requires both coordinated fire and positioning, as well as decent prep and mechanical skill. The wide variety of attacks, which can come from different angles and sometimes through walls, means cheese is much more difficult and there will still need to be a lot of mechanical skill to dodge while firing. Add to the fact that one of the modules explicitly makes reviving much more difficult, and the possibility of a team wipe is much higher.
Also, you ran this without a gunner and without too much single-target damage, and that makes any miniboss much harder.
very true, and yeah, OMEN is certainly a rough one no doubt. i find that i’m typically able to solo the OMEN in group lobbies even on the harder difficulties, but the korlok feels more like it NEEDS to be a team effort, hence putting it in first place on my list. OMEN is certainly second for me though
No I agree, it killed a stage 3 elite deep dive. I had to go to bed after. Hated it.
