set your ego perks up correctly... get a spanner and then do it
Nim seemed difficult to me because not only are his attacks cheap but, mainly, the hit detection in this game sucks. When you dive-roll out of the way of a charging enemy and still get hit due to the poor hit detection, it makes it infinately more frustrating, the same as when you are completely behind a pillar and his diving attack still hits you. I found that diving (dodging) at either a 10 o'clock or 2 o'clock trajectory (slightly forward and to the side) instead of 9 or 3 helped a lot.
Maybe i beat that guy with a way to high ego. I just use cloak and a sawed off shotgun to the back of the skull. With sticky detinators when he was zipping around.. It was a little difficult but if it was easy that would kill the game.. Right?
<strong>Trolling or Baiting:</strong> Trolling is defined as something that is posted for shock value, to provoke conflict, or to elicit a strong negative or emotional reaction. It’s okay to disagree with others, and even to debate, but provoking conflict, baiting, inciting, mocking, etc. is not acceptable. If you don't have something constructive or meaningful to add to a discussion, we recommend you refrain from posting in that one and find another discussion to participate in instead.

I Chuck Norris once urinated in a semi truck's gas tank as a joke....that truck is now known as Optimus Prime.
That works ok too (I still got hit with it sometimes). The point is, if Nim is on one side of a pillar and jumps up for his dive attack and you move to the complete opposite side of the pillar, you should not be hit with the attack (hypothetically). The same way if you are behind cover, you should not be hit with an explosive's splash damage.
Due to the poor hit detection, even if you show that you are in cover or otherwise shielded, the game will still register damage. This is how I took most of my damage from Nim.
Absolute lie. Beat him on my first try. Got knocked down once simply because I knew I could be careless and do so with the self-revive available, but that was it. I'm not sure if people are just incompetent or new to shooters here, because this boss was incredibly easy. Grabbed myself an SMG and a Pump Shotgun and took him down without much effort.
In my opinion, people just don't understand that you counter a fast-moving, lunging enemy by rolling and running. That's all it took for me. I'd roll a lot, run a lot, and when he did his lunge, I was already out of the way of it. I then turned, laid a few bullets into him, rolled, he lunged where I just was, and I repeated. The decoys? I didn't care. Get them as close as you can, grenade, see which ones don't disappear.
The entire trick to the fight is patience and movement, and it sounds like the complainers primarily:
1. Aren't patient.
2. Can't move.
3. Want a boss that doesn't put up a fight.
I mean, OP is complaining about 2 hours on this boss? I spent more than that on the last level of Halo: Reach on Legendary, no question.

Having and overpowered attack is ok as long as you don't get hit with it cheaply (i.e. "Oh, I moved too soon/late and payed the price. I should time it better so as not to be struck again!") not, "Bull****, I dodged that!"
Don't get me wrong, after the fight I felt very rewarded and was up telling the Nim what he could do. (Hint: It was profane.)
