WOOOOW. Why are people whining about Nim? I just beat him and I died 2 times, all of which were on his first stage. On my third try, I beat him. His first stage is the hardest in my opinion.
He's not hard AT ALL and definitely isn't the hardest boss I've ever faced.
Jackleg was harder than Nim, to be quite frank.
after a full day of dying and losing pretty much all my money to extracts since i couldnt leave the battle and it would auto restart if i afk'd which i did i watched a vid posted by someone on here somewhere where he only used bmg and it was truely easy mode. i tried every other gun no chance but the bmg is easy mode all the way.
the fights pretty bugged though as his clones would run and shoot through the barriers plus the 2nd set of clones would perm phase jump/port everytime a bullet would try and hit them. was funny watching them do this with machine gun bullets.
use the bmg and the fights very easy mode. it dont take that long either. for me i found the fight completly undoable with any other weapon
Beat him my first run through, died 2 times on last stage to the crystals he summons. BMG all the way. just stay near the middle pillar and every time he goes invis. RUN around the center a bit and then just after he lands fry him!! (fire grenade may be of use too, but not sure, shock/flash was worthless) a sticky detonator that drops bombs after you blow the main ones up did crazy huge damage, but ran out too fast, have to stick him.. run out of ammo too fast. again BMG all the way.
But yes I agree he is CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY hard.. while talking to my friend on steam, while he was doing it at same time, he died like 30 to 60 times.. changed to BMG died about 8 more times, but then beat him. When the first DLC shows up and we have more story, I bet they may lower how hard he is. Right now, he is END GAME. Thus VERY hard.
The more I read about this guy the more he sounds like Fontaine from Bioshock. Dodge, dodge, hit, dodge, dodge, hit, dodge, dodge, hit.
Here's some bosses that will give you a run for your money;
The Witch King in Lord of the Rings, have fun this one will take a few hours if not more.
Sephiroth from Kingdom Hearts, one hit and your dead, no coming back, no nothing.
Final Fantasy vII end dude, another one hit and your dead and the guy constantly regenerates health.
God of War 2 Yeah fighting Zeus may seem bad *** but he quickly makes you want to break your controller.
And finally go try Demons Souls. You want crushingly hard? Go try it, that game had me pulling my hair out.
Defiance is a cake walk compared to those I mentioned.
OP.. if by over powered you mean completely predictable and easy.. then i agree..
killed him for the 11th time today, using only melee attacks... sigh...
