Zalmarath the Living Colossus Bugged

Have GGG acknowledged this? I just wanna play hardcore.

I practised killing him on softcore after I lost a character, got confident enough I can kill him, made another one, 800hp+es, farmed some stupid op gear... aaaand shadow-drag sword got me.

It's disheartening at this point, to say the least.

Please fix this boss. It is so frustrating for HC players (especially melee!) trying to kill Zalmarath and getting 1 shot by his extremely inconsistent drag attack.

Up the thread.

Bump, you guys might also want to look at the specific threads for the oneshot/wrong hitbox issue and bump those too:

Up the post, nothing in the upcoming patch sadly.

Fix it before winter holidays guys please. Let us play HC on holidays too.

Absolutely bugged. Fought him more than 20 times over the past two hours. DEVS NEED TO SEE THIS. Even playing as a witch, for the most part, he is not terribly difficult. But the "dagger drag" attack will one shot out of nowhere. The "sweeping arm drag" will glitch you all over the arena. I have glitched under the arena. I have glitched back to the start of the boss arena then had to walk back in while the fight was still going. My minions have glitched out of the arena. And the worst one of all so far is when the bosses little flying minions randomly spawn inside my character's body and one shot me. This has happened at least three times. I will die out of nowhere, then I look at my character and 1 flying minion is randomly there. Then it splits into the whole group of flying minions that spread out from my dead body.

So aside from all of the general glitchiness from this boss fight, there are also TWO separate insta kill bugs.

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

One time I actually experienced no bugs at all, and very nearly beat him. But I ran out of heals. My own fault. So yes it is definitely possible to beat him. But it is not very likely unless you get very very VERY lucky. Again, absolutely unacceptable.

FIX THIS DEVS!!!!

gg died again to that bugged shit

Very disappointed to not see any mention of a oneshot fix in the upcoming changes post. Hopefully it will still be in the patch notes.
