Nim = dead

I finally gave Nim a try this weekend, and I'm happy to say he's dead. I ended up dieing three times while I noted what he was doing and where my escape patterns were. My loadout, perk, and ego skill selection are listed below.

His number one cheap move is his jump+ground slam. If you are hiding on the other side of various pillars in the room you are NOT safe. The only cover I found from his ground slam was A) distance, or B)the center thing with the blue light coming out of it. Another tip would be that I couldn't find an ammo refill anywhere.

As for my location, after the first phase... I ran to the 'smaller' room and stayed there for the rest of the fight. There were ammo dumps on either sides of that room. Beat him on first try! :D

Do they appear after a certain phase? I didn't see them on phase one when the room was empty.

That's the way, the hard way, of the learning curve ;) Good job man !

sheesh...how bout a spoiler in the title lol

just kidding..

Nim was annoying..meh... Co-Op bosses are more fun

I kinda get how people say the fight is easy after you've completed it. After his surprise shinanigans are known he's pretty simple. :)

Any player who defeats Nim is worthy of a pat on the back (and indeed praise) for their perseverance, so well done.

I did for him with my favourite shotgun and a lot of running around.
I also think its pretty cool how many different ways people find to end his career in Defiance, I wonder what he will do for a living now? Nim's speedy window wash perhaps!

Well, I didn't look for ammo during the first phase. His attacks were pretty fast and I was focusing on spam rolling lol.
Dunno if they are there or not during 1st phase, however you shouldn't need it on the first phase anyway...

True, I was just making note of what was available quickly as we started the fight. I'm not positive, but I believe they are absent in the first phase when the room is empty.

The only thing out of all that that I think REALLY helps for the fight, is
"Respark Regenerator IID - 3sec delay, 1010 cap, 25% health regen"

This type of shield changes the game into easy mode, pretty much, it's just a matter of being able to mash 'B' a lot of time, and you're good to go.
