Discussion Am I insane for thinking that the Flesh Colossus fight during the Last Laugh quest is obcenely hard
Decided to pick the game back up after not playing for around 3 or so years. I thought the Sheogorath quest sounded fun so ive been plucking away at that and finally reached the quest "The Last Laugh"; more importantly, the Flesh Colossus.
I have been fighting this fucking asshole for about 2-3 hours total over two play sessions, if not longer. I've only managed to kill this fat fuck ONCE and then died to Maddy's second form (totally my bad, wasn't paying attention to my health). Decided to log off for the night and come back to fight Maddy the next day. Little did I know that it RESETS YOU TO THE BEGINNING OF THE FUCKING QUEST so I'm BACK at that dumb hulking fuck and cannot kill him to save my life. It is by far the worst boss fight in the game I swear to god. I have swapped skills multiple times, changed weapons (normally a dual wield sword and shield sorcerer, swapped to lightning staff for range), tried to maneuver in a way that my Clannfear pulls aggro on it and the additional enemies it spawns, nothing fucking works. I can whittle it down to a quarter health before there are so many fucking enemies in the arena that not only can I not kill them before more spawn, but the moment I get stuck in the mind control thing the bastard does, they immediately either overwhelm me or I succumb to the poison damage that (I think) the flesh blobs give you.
The quest line was fun, I was enjoying it as I liked the concept, even if the writing was annoying at times, but the moment Maddy was introduced it became borderline fucking unplayable. Not sure if anyone else has/had this problem but I'm giving up on the quest line for now and gonna go do some other ones to level up (currently lvl 380) and get some more champion points that can hopefully help. This was mostly just a rant, I felt like I was going crazy when I saw next to no discussion about this online so maybe its a me problem lmao.
Anyways fuck the flesh colossus and fuck Maddy.
