Nim is wayyyyyyyy to overpowered

I used a bmg the whole way through and beat him

I am glad they made him a lot tougher than the other enemies in the game after the way they built him up so much. If he was a pushover it would take away from the whole story arc concerning his character. That being said, if you can dodge roll and strafe around a pillar then you can beat Nim.

Just dodge round the pillars and don't expect the fight to last you 2 minutes, little bit of patience never goes amiss.

I'm personally glad they made him a challenge, and even then I didn't find him that hard. I beat him first major try and died once, at most, per phase. Fought harder Bulwark fights than him to be honest.

4. Have either a pyro, frag, or split frag(detonates into multiple smaller ones) grenade.
5. Be so comfortable with dodge and sprint running that they are second nature.
6. Have a 1300 range shield with a 40% charge or better.
7. Time your overcharge usage(if you go that perk route) for use in the third phase instead of the first or second since those are usually the easier phases imo.

First phase: This is a rather easy phase, you just time his runs and voice cues for his AI and detonate between your sprint and dodging out of the way. If you lose shield/health, flip to your bmg and heal up.

Second phase(where he splits into multiples for part of it): near the central pillar but on the opposite side of section that his clones spawn. Use the bmg offensively or the nader to damage him or the clones as needed.

Second phase(where he goes up top to throw the energy bolts at you): pick a side of the room and starting at the center bmg immediately the one near center pillar then move into the section of the room along the same side and bmg down 2 more(or just start on the second of the 3 and go from there). You're doing this to essentially clear a side where you can duck behind the far piller in that room and get hit by either none or just one of the bolts from the other clones. Once done set back up for the clones running around on the ground in the first part of the second phase.

Third phase first part: This I call the dodge rolling phase. Stick around the center pillar. Memorize his pattern of movement and sound cues(when he spins to do the aoe energy burst on the ground). Always make sure you're on the opposite side of the center pillar from that aoe. If you get hit with it, just bmg to heal up. Otherwise when he hits the ground, immediately swivel around the pillar after to lob nades from your detonator at him and be ready to run or dodge again. Be careful because currently he can also run straight through the pillar during this as a sort of dirty cheat. Again heal up if you get swiped from any of this.

Third phase second part: when he enters the spire's force field to put cause the crystals to shoot up through the ground, watch out for the spots they'll appear at(color on the floor changes). Stray a little bit from the center pillar but not too much. Once he's done with the crystal creating he does that really nasty aoe that the closer you are to him and other crystals, the more damage you take compoundedly. Therefore, do your best to run around one side of the room, then once he's done try to get to the other side around the curve, of the side of the room, this will usually cause you to take little to no damage if you can do it right.

However if you do take damage just bmg heal it.

Just rinse and repeat until he's dead with your use of overcharge as needed.


Overall this fight is really more about healing yourself and timing to avoid damage than the damage you do to him.

Hope this example helps. You can use other set ups too of course but this one's had the easier time of it for me.

Nim infact was far too easy for an End game boss, he was laughable at best.

I don't want to come across as elitist but I completely agree. With the right gear, Nim was not even a mild challenge. With sub optimal gear, he was still easy at best.

I think he needs nerfing. Way too hard.

It takes too long to get through each phase. I have a legendary autorifle that does a lot of damage and sees me good throughout the rest of the game very high in the damage ranking but I have never used a bmg.

I feel I have no choice but to level my bmg up to be able to compete with him.

Stage 3 is just impossible for me!

LMFAO, it does nothing cuz you targeted darkness and not nim!

White weapons do comparable damage to your legendary ar.

Work on your movement and shoot him in the head.

I would suggest better use of perks and weapons, I have 3 perks I always keep and those are Extra Health, Extra Health Regen and Armor perks. Those combined with a shotgun and overpower and knowing when to move you will kill him easily in 5 mins
