You'll encounter the Bloat King in Losomn, in The Great Sewers. This page of our guide to Remnant 2 explains how to fight this enemy. We also list out its moveset and the rewards for beating it.
Bloat King - boss description
The Bloat King is a large slime-like enemy spending most of the battle on the walls or the ceiling. The arena consists of two floors, the lower one being home to a horde of slime enemies - smaller copies of the boss.
Its weak point is an armored orb it occasionally spits out. The boss is also vulnerable to damage over time, such as burning or bleeding.
Moveset
- Reinforcements - there are lots of enemies on the lower floor. Black blobs drop from the ceiling too, spawning more minions.
- Light bolt - once the orb returns to the main body, it shoots a beam of bright light.
- Laser - if the Bloat King charges an attack for a long time, he's about to fire a laser beam. This attack deals constant damage and staggers you.
- Orb projectiles - after the boss spawns some orbs, they start firing slow homing projectiles. They don't deal much damage, but there's a lot of them.
How to fight the Bloat King?
We recommend using weapons or weapon mods that inflict bleeding or burning, shooting the boss until it gets up close. Avoid falling down to the lower floor, as it holds an absurd number of enemies. If you find yourself falling down often, equip some AoE weapon mods.
Falling down doesn't necessarily mean you'll die, as you can return to the higher level by climbing a ladder. Get rid of all nearby threats before you do so. Otherwise you'll likely die to the projectiles while climbing the ladder.
If you see an orb leave the boss, focus on attacking it. You won't be dealing much damage at first, as the orb is shielded. Once the shield is destroyed, shooting it will deal weak spot damage.
When the orb returns to the main body, the boss will go for a projectile or a laser. Instead of attacking, focus of evading and move somewhere safe as to not fall down.
If you stay in the same place for too long, you'll get stuck in a laser that deals high damage and can knock you off the platform right into the enemy horde.
Soon, two spheres at once will spawn, firing at you even quicker. When the boss gets close, move to the other side to have time to react to his attacks.
