Sharpen your blade and cast your spells as we prepare ourselves for an adventure through the treacherous world of PoE2. This world is filled with difficult bosses including Damur, the Mastadon, and Kouto, Lord of Kin. It's clear that this game has made a huge effort when producing these boss battles. So let's figure out what makes them so exhilarating and how to come out victorious.

 

• Systemic Changes to Boss Fights
• Boss Fight Strategy & Rewards
• Endgame Bossing

 

↖ Systemic Changes to Boss Fights

We've become accustomed to "grave rushing" during campaigns and using "six portal strategy" in endgame scenarios from PoE1. Unfortunately for us, that's all going away now. The developers have decided that we've grown too used to it and want us to feel tested like never before. Here is a list of some critical changes they’ve made:

• Boss Resets: If you fail while fighting a boss their health resets to full next attempt.
• Portal Mechanics: You can't just escape anymore either! Casting a portal takes several seconds now and any damage interrupts it!
• Logout Dynamics: They've nerfed logging out too! Now if you log out you'll be exactly where you left off when you log back in.
• Boss Staggering: Crowd control abilities now have a meaningful impact on bosses. Each boss reacts differently when stunned or slowed - adding a new layer of strategy.

 

↖ Boss Fight Strategy & Rewards

With these big changes in mind – let's dive into some strategies for tackling PoE2's bosses:

• Adaptation is Key: Learn each boss's attack patterns as quickly as possible so you can adapt your strategy accordingly. With bosses resetting on death, you can't be dying over and over again!
• Preparation and Patience: Make sure you have everything in order before going into battle. Flasks full? Gear optimized? Great. Be patient with this game too, rushing in won’t work.
• Reward System: Each boss will drop unique loot but also offers permanent statistical bonuses upon defeat. Make sure to slay all of them for extra progress.

 

↖ Endgame Bossing

We still don't know much about the campaign yet but here is what we know:

• New Systems: We'll definitely be seeing a different system to access endgame bosses compared to PoE1's "grave rush".
• Campaign Bosses in Maps: Some of the bosses from the campaign will reappear in maps with potential modifications to their abilities and difficulty level.
• Increased Focus on Bosses: Map bosses are making a come back too - and they're no joke! Compared to PoE1, these guys are going to take up more of your time and reward you better because of it.
