PS5 - Immortal Delve Mobs

Not sure what is causing this now specifically, but I am very regularly getting monsters in Delve that become immune to damage. They usually have the Soul Eater mod. Once they hit around 40-50% life they just stop taking damage and usually don't register sound effects as if they are being hit anymore. This seems to be a permanent state once triggered.

Its not uncommon to end a delve run after depth 350 with 1-3 of these guys just zooming around not taking damage and requiring a return to basecamp.

Maybe its just Soul Eater being Soul Eater, but I never experienced this specific problem before with that mod.

While this *might* just be a bug, Soul Eater with enough stacks gives 90% Damage Reduction. This can stack (multiplicatively, not additively) with some other forms of mitigation the monster may have from other modifiers, as well as with resistances, etc.

This means a max-stacks Soul Eater monster is often taking 1% or less of the incoming damage.

If the monster also regenerates/leeches/recovers Life or ES, it not be possible to notice that they are being damaged at all.

When I encounter a Soul Eater mob like this, I try to get away from them for a bit, to let the stacks fall off, and then they die easily. Obviously, that tactic will be quite difficult in Delve.

Yeah, unfortunately this does not seem to be the case. Its almost always on mobs with just the Soul Eater tag, and I've checked area mods when it does happen.

I've hung out with these psychopaths for several minutes in an otherwise empty area and they never seem to fall out of that state. So far it has not happened with any required Soul Eater mobs for area completion, but I figure its a matter of time.

This also happens in maps without the soul eater tag.. I have had a few unkillable soul eaters in delve also, and just moved on, annoying,yes. Today i also had a map boss in necropolis with 2 mods on him only, life regen and another i couldnt see, but he was unkillable, he took 0 damage at all so there was nothing to regen.

Its weird and annoying, something is going on
