@rukizzel challenged me on stream today to defeat Gargos on Godlike again after being one of the first people to do it in the preview. So, I did it again today on my first try. All Omens were defeated, so he had only one buff. It was still SUPER tough though.
Hope you guys enjoy.
Oh so that mega eruption caused damage (alot of it). Interesting.
That beta Gargos was the warm-up. omg this is hard
What’s the saying? “Careful what you wish for. Because it just might come true.”
Very entertaining fight! I clearly need to buff Gargos some more… MWHAHAHAH
That pesky armor definitely saved you a lot.
Dolph said he doesn’t want to fight gargos with full buffs though.
Wasn’t the challenge with all buffs though? Anyways good stuff man
There’s a special reward that should make doing that significantly easier. Just gotta get that reward tho 
Ohhhhhhhhhh I like rewards. ARIA will do it.
I have to say I love doing this fight, I’m used to the pain that some bosses like Gargos or for other games like Igniz from KOF 2001/2002UM, no matter how long it takes, I will beat Gargos even if I don’t use a single Guardian or item for the fight.
It kind of looked like he went into his alternate ultra ender after, and it did a decent amount of chip. I’m willing to bet that’s an instant kill if it lands.
Yup, lol
DEAR GOD NO
I love the Fractured Ward so much, it’s ridiculous.
Did you not see how many buffs I put on myself just to fight him without his buffs? It would take a lot of luck to beat him with all his buffs.
Curiosity intensifies
Honestly, though, this fight is awesome, you guys did a great job. I got so mad at first when Gargos resurrected, then I was laughing at the end about it.
Stop taunting the devs to make it harder, its impossible enough for the rest of us scrubs already. lol
Right! If they want to tune up godlike mode, then fine, but normal needs to be toned back down some. Normal mode is suppose to be for new players, and currently no new player is even going to come close to beating Gargos. Even with the buffs removed.
Currently playing on Godlike right now with people who I consider to be my best characters; TJ, Omen, and ARIA. All three of them have Perfect Killer Guardians (TJ has Fractured Ward, Omen has Bat, ARIA has Snake) and I still have a relatively good amount of resources from the beta.
It’s definitely harder, but I agree it’s a little overkill. Most of those killer guardians seem to be heavily nerfed (instead of restoring 100% of whatever you get when you hit an Ender with bat, you get all three at once but now they’re at smaller percentages, Fractured Ward has less armor), and the secondary abilities seem to either not work or not even matter all that much anymore, because even with a super huge damage boost and applied items, I’m still getting my butt kicked.
I think the AI not only got smarter, but WORSE when it comes to reading you; I’m honestly convinced Godlike is set to Ultimate/Kyle difficulty, because I’m getting broken all the time and, or so it seems, they know exactly when I’m counter breaking so they never fall for it.
It’s getting harder and harder to get items, now that items require multiple components. I’m sure I won’t even get to use my guardians soon, considering the fact that I’ve gotten next to nothing for astral energy. Guys, I’m playing on Godlike, a mode that’s supposed to give me more rewards! I’m LOSING resources playing this mode, and even when I succeed I’m still suffering.
Basically, my current advice is to just bring as many items as you can that make you immune to breakers and try to use your ram guardians as much as you can.
Once I get some more time with the mode, I’ll make a bigger post about this, but WOW did this get hard! I like it, and I can’t complain much since I’m on Godlike, but dang!
I agree with Godlike being overall much harder. I lost Kim Wu and almost lost Cinder to level 3 mimics.
But the guardians ARE better thanks to the general stat buffs.
Those dam mimics definitely aren’t Beta anymore… I went up against Fulgore, Aria, Fulgore one mission with just Jago, thinking hey, this was light work in Beta… oh I barely survived the last Fulgure, thank god for vampire bat guardian…
During my first try on Normal (because I wanted to complete my last early access run yesterday, but I had to play on the public release instead because update) I just got amazed how Gargos was changed, and I couldn’t stop laughing after getting bodied on Godlike with Gargos having all 5 buffs and me using nothing except my own skills to try to beat him, anyway, the fight is NOW a true boss fight, and I like it.
Well you’re still using your own skills. Just amplified.
nice job @SonicDolphin117. From an AI stand point it looks like Gargos has a hard time dealing with glacius due to his unblockable opener.
From an AI stand point I imagine that’s really difficult to develop for.
Nah, I think it was more that he kept throwing out shadows on wakeup. Normally AI of his difficulty jumps them 80% of the time.
