I know what some of you are thinking with a title like this, so please put your pitchforks down and your git guds away and listen for a second.
This is stemming from another post about bloodied blows where people showed a lot of hate for its current design and I wanted to elaborate further.
For some context for those grinding this boss currently or those looking to give it a shot, I’m currently 4/5 on purifying sigils.
They all took a reasonable number of failures but I was able to push through by learning from my mistakes. (I actually really enjoyed figuring out sensory enrage that was an insane fight)
And then I started working on bloodied blows. In order to get to the enrage phase you realistically must stay at 1hp through p1 and p2 and go through a boss fight that pulls you to sleep. Once p3 begins you absolutely must wake tf up and prepare for an enrage that EXTREMELY tests your focus and accuracy.
For p3 context:
You must camp low hp to have an effective kill time.
You must be at 15 hp or lower to 1shot the flares.
It is not a GUARANTEED HIT even in max mage to hit the flares
Yama can hit you with chip damage up to 12 while you are focusing flares.
This requires you to effectively dodge fireballs, skip over waves, read the hitsplat number on your character, make a critical decision based on mental math on whether or not you need to drink a guthix rest, open a moth jar, or even eat a hard food based on your hp. Hell you may even need to eat a hard food then locator orb down just to HAVE A CHANCE at killing a flare.
So naturally once I hit 50 failed attempts I thought to myself “man I must suck let’s get on YouTube again and see what people are doing differently”.
EVERY video I saw of a successful attempt albeit impressive.. people were getting chanced 4-8 times by the chip damage. Rng plays a HUGE role on whether or not Yama just decides to smite you down with large amounts of chip or hit you a zero.
So enough rambling, here’s what I would change:
- Make void flares 100% accurate to magic damage. Nobody wants to die to bad rng in a skill challenge with gp on the line
- Change Yama’s chip damage to a maximum hit of 6-8 rather than 12. Make one mistake and you are already getting 1 shot anyways. Keep the hp threshold needed to one shot flares at 15 hp.
Anyone else feel the same?
TLDR: Yama’s flares don’t need to be an rng coin flip and his chip damage in p3 also adds too much intensity to the kill.
