I Hate Sirus

Sirus is THE worst endgame boss ever designed. The number of issues with this fight is just crazy. Terrible visual design (black on black). Terrible mechanics, especially teleporting off screen and shooting the DIE beam. Black clouds that can still block the entrance - after all these years and countless 'fixes'.

But the most infuriating thing is that if you die one time - he can just shoot you in the face upon re-entry, again and again.

> Exhibit A <

His awareness radius is huge. And when he shoots from that kind of a distance there is pretty much no avoiding that beam (it tracks you too).

Over the years the regular Sirus has fallen way behind the power curve. Nowadays you can delete him before he does any of his bullshit. But the Uber version is still there to reminder you how badly this whole encounter is designed.

And in 3.28 we might just get Sirus v3. Because 'Eagon' is Sirus. And I bet we'll have to kill him again. That fight better be nothing like this black-on-black-teleport-DIE bullshit.

Ive never killed him but last time i was close. However i must agree with You, it is the least challange ive enjoyed so far.

I have absolutely no desire to even attempt Uber Sirus. Can't stand the fight at all.

I struggled with him at first but I found that once you learn his patterns and control the spread of degen puddles on the ground, he becomes quite manageable.

He is the only boss that I am aware of who actually timegates you as the arena becomes unplayable if you make too many mistakes. Elder / Uber Elder does that too, but there it's tied to Tentacle Fiends staying up too long. Maybe if there was a way to clean up puddles the fight would feel more forgiving?

Only one is that if you die once or twice the boss has dragged himself to the stairs. Nothing else.

Everything else is l2p issue pretty much.

Sirus and Maven are definitely the worst designed bosses. But I guess they have to exist for the sake of being different

Same tbh, sirus has a bunch of bs in that fight. Storms can still stack up on the entrance if you die, and you gotta wait for them to slooooowly move out. And he can beam you from off-screen, enemies even being able to detect and aggro to you offscreen in any game should never happen lmao its just purely unfair.

Like, I can sometimes do Uber Sirus hitless, and other times if I get unlucky with what he does I can die 4-5 times in a row just trying to even get back into the battle arena. Imo if you're trying to get back Sirus should just be immobile and do nothing until you walk under him to trigger his phase again. Or you know, don't give him a range that's like 5 screens wide and long at attacking and aggroing to players?


And I agree with the comment above, Maven also just sucks cus memory game is some kinda forced-in MMO raid boss mechanic that doesn't belong anywhere in a game like PoE.
