Nim Shondu - The hardest boss i've ever faced.

[Havoc Nano]

First time I faced him I gave up after three hours in phase 3 lol

Just keeping running when he talks run to pillar and shot, do this a Thousand times and win.

Dark souls and demon souls was Abit harder in spots. However we couldn't super sprint or turn invisible on that neither lol. Struggled to get my 1k gamer score on dark souls. But I mean come on i consider it a great thing when nim was that hard. Just hard enough to get into and not unbeatable. I love a challenge been a hardcore gamer since I picked up Zelda on the super nintendo.
Its good to feel challenged. Don't u agree?

Thanks for again the countless feedback, i'm reading it. I enjoy reading all your tips and regretting using a rhino shield, lol. This also serves people who aren't doing the boss fight easily with tips given in the posts. Thanks, also I never said he was the hardest boss, I said he was the hardest boss i've faced. Clearing up that confusion, people seem to be bringing up other games into the subject.

Well, its true that he is the hardest solo-boss currently ingame (haven't done all the co-op bosses yet). But "The hardest boss I've ever faced" kind of implies "in any game I've ever played"

Yes it does, but i'm referring to myself. Everyone else keeps referring me to other games with harder bosses lol, this is besides the point and off topic.

I have no idea what the fuzz is about. Just keep running around, shoot the guy in the face a couple of times (with a shotgun) and it's done. This nim guy is like any regular mob in any oldskool game .

I beat him without any deaths :/ I went in thinking I am going to be rocked by the sound of all the rage on the forums and beat him first try with no problems at all

[Jackobite]

Beat him last night, I almost cried with relief when he dropped dead.

Iv did harder, on xbox I cant remember who but sometimes in a three stage fight they punt you right back to phase one each death.

so It could have been worse

I only died once in the first part of the fight, the second time around i beat him in all 3 fights with ease. The best thing to do OP is stay close to the pillars and you should be fine. Dodge timing also helps a ton as well. Plus depends on what weapons your using. I'm using the purple assault rifle that i got off the Top Notch Rep vendor. That weapon is amazing due to its 10% recharge on EGO power after every auto reload. I can keep up Overcharge quite a bit during fights. This helped out a ton while facing him. Don't be afraid to do the dodge dance to help get your shield back up. I do this a lot when my shield is down. Keeps me in fights longer.
