Challenging Competitors - Black Knight challenge is unreasonably difficult with controller
The challenge to defeat Black Knight without getting hit by Verisium Laser is basically impossible on controller. As far as I know, there are two laser phases, and no way to skip them. The laser lasts for nearly the entire duration of the health of the rocks, requiring you use all four with perfect placement. Controllers don't allow for precise targeting of blink abilities. You can aim them, but can't control their distance very much.
Two possible solutions: 1. Give the rocks more health, so the laser can be avoided using only two rocks. 2. Slow Black Knights rotational speed, so you have an opportunity to dash and quickly correct your position before he locks on. The fight itself is almost too easy, and could be made harder, but the laser phase needs some tuning. Thanks Last bumped on Sep 28, 2024, 9:27:25 AM

I'd like to add on I've found this challenge actually impossible. I've tried it four times now, and have even used up all 4 rocks in the last encounter and still failed this challenge... Not sure how it's even possible when using all of the rocks doesn't even work.

Same here when i Blink i get hit, when i stay behind the rock it get destroyed in no time. I use double frost blink with lots of cast speed, still get hit. Tried at least 8 times already.

Yea the laser challenge from what I can tell is just you have to insta phase him. That or minions blocking it I think I saw a post about that.
Frost wall doesnt work I tried that so im just waiting for sasan to show up more than 1 time. Mash the clean

can't believe they still haven't fixed this, give everyone who did this challenge 10 times a free completion of that laser challenge.

Phew, so it's not only me who's wondering how this is even possible. I hope they fix it.
Thanks for sharing the science about frost wall not working. Softcore, solo self-found.

Exactly my thoughts.

How can people do this challange. Every time this shit laser appears and the rocks, the game is so laggy that its just not possible to avoid the laser.

I completed the challenge by focusing on bandit lord and pirate instead, but I definitely think Black Knight's laser phase needs a nerf. Make it so his turn speed is slow so you can always dodge the laser.
PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.
Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build! MFers found strength in their Afflictions. They became reliant on them. I am not so foolish. | |
To mee its almost impossible because in DX11 Shaders are loading "on the spot". So when new effect is loaded game stutters for me for sec or two and that makes it too long.
In some situations - like crimson ore - i see beginning, then stutter and then i see everythyng dead. But im OK with that. |
