Grounded - Infected Broodmother
Ойындар
Didn't expect a new boss on a "minor patch", much less for it to be the hardest by a long shot! Very enjoyable fight, though phase 1 is kinda eh.
Gonna experiment with this boss to get it done with no heals, hopefully without debuffing her attack speed too!
My strat here is to use crits with Scythe of Blossoms to quickly dispatch phases 1 and 2 (getting a crit on the strong attack of the scythe deals massive damage). Then for phase 3 switch to a Fresh Toenail Scimitar to reduce it's attack speed + Lv3 Swordmaster to further reduce it's damage output.
Regarding it's attack patterns, I think the most important think to note is that if she's away when the fog is dense it seems like she either goes for a screech or either of the jump attacks.
There's still a bunch of stuff to learn, like how to dodge the bomb projectile up close. Also don't think it's worth it to destroy the explosive eggsacs.

At first I thought “oh he killed it three times nice!” Then I realized it was all one big battle 😢😂
I like how the sca.b still says that you are still in danger, quite a nice touch.
EDIT: This was done on 1.2, they've made the water pool give her buffs in 1.2.4 💀 PSA: Her summon item is very expensive, so it's recommended to just craft 1 and dupe it for 1k raw science. This was done on normal mode. Also yes, she heals from explosions! - Reposting this since I'm silly and deleted my own comment instead of editing lol

Thanks for the tip, but I like fighting the bosses so I believe it to be understandable for me. Also it’s worth it if you get to fight this monstrosity

What you really want is to use items that reduce its defense to take more damage. have spiderlings/mant for distractions and boss sauce for higher percentage of crit chance. She needs a nerf on that healing received shouldn't be stackable, it should be on a timer.

Yeah the scythe alone gives a +100% damage to crits. I wasn't even using Trapper PEEP.R + Thor's Pendant which combined would've given an extra 70% damage
this thing is an absolute pain to beat! Good job for actually recording it too!
you make it look easy, but this is also single player fight, and you doing almost perfect blocks every single time. That's super good! Great video! It's just that I'm trying to do a 2 player infected broodmother boss and ours has a lot more health than this video shows so it's a much longer fight and hard to compare our weapon dmg with yours. Not all of us are this good at blocking, especially when she switches between players it's harder to get the timing right.

No it fucking doesn't??? Reviving twice is boring, the first time is fun because you aren't really expecting it the first time around, but the second time it revives is just like "ok can we just rap this up already?" Why does she simultaneously need an attack speed bonus along with reducing the time between her attacks? And to make things just slightly more annoying, her gold card has a 5% chance instead of a 10% chance like the other bosses, and she spawns infected gnats just for the off chance of making you drop your weapon, because the person who designed it hates the players If anything, the final optional boss for story mode deserves to be somewhat comparable to this strength

For anyone wondering the weapon and armor you can make are an infinite fungal bratburst grenade a new full armor set and a throne/chair. The trinket causes all your summons to cause an explosion when they attack. The mutation cause explosions I think. Also weirdly enough the mosquito rapier worked well when I tried this fight and also use a shield and healbasas

Not only is her summoning item expensive but having to kill her 3 times in one run will make the grind heavy lol she's probably gonna be a one time deal for me
Now that we have an infected variation of a boss I wonder what will happen to the next one.
I have finally beat it tonight and man was it hard even on mild. I mean the first phase was a piece of cake and I only took like 5 hits in the second phase so I was feeling pretty confident about the third phase... man was I wrong. I took me about 6 tries to get it right and when I did it felt amazing. Also if anyone wants to know what build I used it was: fully upgraded koi armour on the sleek path, a mint mace and a spider fang dagger upgraded on the minty path, liquid rage human food and fuzz on the rocks beefy smoothies 30 of each and about 7 aphid roasts. And my mutations where: parry master, meat shield, mithridisom, coop de grass and mantsterious stranger.
I’m a grounded veteran, started playing since the first few months it came out, it has been a fun game, when the doom and shroom update came out with its first boss, the brood mother, I was excited, the boss was creepy and very exciting to fight, after a while we finally got our second real boss, the mantis, fun and exciting but absolutely terrifying too, I love that boss a lot, then cam out with the wasp queen, never gotten a chance to play again because my computer is broken rn, but I have seen the fight and it seems hard but might be fun too, seeing the infected brood mother and how her fighting pattern works……….I am scared to fight it, I’m not even kidding, seeing this thing in action and all scares me, but when I get a chance to I will fight this thing and beat it, even if it means to prepare the best I can……….but actually though I’m scared of this thing just by seeing its fight

Inflicts a debuff that lowers enemies damage resist and the set bonus also gives a minimal damage boost with acid splash. Fire Ant is just a nice all around armor.

I put a bed outside so i can die and respawn over and over to try to snag the trinket before i go for the kill on her. She seems to only give me 1 set of items during the first phase only, only gotten chunks from her so far, and that's with the 2 mutations and the trinket. Might have to kill her once to get her mount and trophy to help increase the odds

Its great to see a challenge in the game, but I feel like the fight is too focused on having to block. Especially perfectly, with all the debuffs she inflicts and able to heal herself along with three phases I dont think I could ever kill her without a completely different build. I like to play with a very tanky and bruiser like build basically in the face taking hits backing off to heal if I need to and go back into it. Blocking here and there if I can. I beat the wasp queen first try doing this granted she isnt that difficult. However I feel like this fight is a bit to "gimmicky" in that you have to be able to perfect block basically everything.

I mean, perfect blocks are a core mechanic of the game. Also remember the new Shield Solidifier trinket which is really good for regular blocking. But I agree with wanting other types of challenges, I'd love to see a fight that makes you consider spacing more. I think only the Orchid Mantis sort of does this with it's triple slam attack which you can perfect block only 1 of the 3 hits, but it's charge time gives you time to run away

Normally I'd disagree, this was my 2nd clear so it's pretty sloppy. But they only made questionable buffs last patch and didn't even fix the thick fog issues on phase 3. The worst change was giving her a 15% crit chance buff whenever she passes by the water puddle. Crits stagger you even when parrying so it's pretty BS now.
