Nim is still miles easier than the final boss(es) in Vanquish so..Only thing that may have got me a bit upset was having to fight him more than once technically >_>

My previous post disappeared.
Basically I take back my first post on this boss.
My Ego was completely set up for damage dealing. I respecced my Ego for extra health and shield benefits and I took him out using a BMG without dying.
Not the most interesting of battles but I agree with the original post that being able to don this boss in a team rather than solo would be more fun. I enjoy the team elements of this game.
Finally beat him yesterday. I used a magazine fed Shotgun (I'm not home so I can't see my build). I used a 3 second shield. The first part was always the hard part for me. Once I got past part one, the rest was pretty easy.
I encountered a few bugs. He would shoot me through pillars on stage 3. Knock me to my back when he would roll, even when I wasn't in his direct path.
All in all, I found him to be somewhat tough. I'm not as uber as most of you folks. It would be nice to do missions like this with at least one friend. Heck make him tougher when doing so.
I found him to be really easy with cloak and smg. Use a pilar to block line of site. Use cloak when your shield is down and the SMG helps keep you mobile. I beat him on the first shot.
A few of my friends told me that after stage one you should use a BMG on him because it tracks to him. However, they said it takes forever.
So I listened to them. 25 minutes into stage two I almost had him dead and made a mistake. Had to restart stage 2.
I decided...Why the hell not try my LMG and Overdrive loadout?
5 minutes later stage 2 and 3 were easily crushed.
Its all about abusing the snap aim function.
This is one of the worst bosses ever and considering 90% of the players have given up on the boss fight all together. While there are a few players who will get lucky, then talk trash about how easy his is to beat, get real. This one boss battle has ruined the game for a lot of people, there needs to be some balance in these types of fights, but there is none in this case. He is way overpowered and really needs to be fixed. People pay $60.00 to enjoy a game be able to complete it and not have it end because of an over powered cheap boss. It has nothing to do with having "skills" or having to "man up". Considering the MAJORITY of the games owners have complained about this issue, it seems more in line with the community speaking up regarding a fault in the game. Sure you will have a small few, like I said who will get lucky after hours of trying, but should gamers really be forced to play a 15 minute boss battle for several hours. fact is he is overpowered, and very cheap. Fix it
After fighting him completely unprepared the first time my brain instantly concluded he is a LoS enemy, hence break his LoS and you have no worries, he is in fact UNDERPOWERED , get blur, a pump shotgun and some skill and you'll be done in no time. Every enemy has a weakness but unfortunately problem solving skills are the average gamers weakness. No offense to the OP here this is more directed to anyone thinking he's the most terrible boss in the game. Use your noggin guys.
