Bypassing Nim

[KingMike]

You kind of missed the point of the high capacity shield with a BMG. You can simply heal yourself to regen the shield whenever needed. So it's a high capacity AND fast regen while using a BMG.

I feel for you guys that are having problems, but for the majority of people this fight isn't that hard, specially when you spec for it. So please stop trying to have things nerfed that don't need it.

If trion were to nerf this fight then that means any new DLC fights will have to be nerfed also, because a small minority of players have problems. That's not exactly fair when a lot of people like a challenge.

This!

Should prob have mentioned that in my post, sorry bout that.
And thank you basis

If someone cant do him for 2 weeks isnt it in fact too hard/very hard (for him?)
and no its not the games fault, but the guys paid for the game doesnt he have as much right as anyone to air his thoughts on difficulty of a mission?

So he can say his opinion on how difficult the boss is but we cant counter it saying Nim was easy? Double standard?

@OP - Nim is basically a genre shift fight. Instead of avoiding massive numbers of enemies you can whittle down slowly you have be prepared for one enemy that can do the damage/ use the tactics of 10.

Get used to rolling, a BMG will help especially in the 2nd phase where you fight decoys, only the real one launches fireballs at you. Try to get the center perks, especially regeneration. Cloak, BMG and a Rhino Shield can keep you alive during troublesome spots easily.

BUT: The most important thing is to learn his patterns. We can tell you in excruciating detail how he moves but you wont understand unless you look for yourself.

Does anyone know if you can bypass the Nim mission, I have been trying for 2 weeks and still no luck. I have looked at the videos and forums for help, but still cannot beat him. I have purchased the DLC and I am thinking I will not be able to play it if I do not get past this part. I am ready to give up on this game and sell it back. I really like the game but this 1 mission is frustrating me to no end. If anyone can advise me if this is possible I would really appreciate it, otherwise goodbye DEFIANCE.

Thanks

Woah, there have been harder fights, in many games before. IMO some of the dark matter fights are harder...

That being said, everyone is different, so you shouldint get flamed for asking advice.

I didn't read all the posts, but what equipment are you using?

I STRONGLY suggest a shield with the lowest recharge time (anything over 3 sec is not worth, unless its over 2k capacity). that way you only need 2 sec of cover to recharge your shields (health regen is nice too)

Make sure to kill his decoys as fast as possible. It gets rid of additional targets, and hurts his total HP. DO NOT STOP backing up/side stepping during the fight, unless you are hiding for cover. Don't use anything down the sights (unless he is really far) and just keep hip firing and backing up (an auto shotgun works well)

Don't let the humblebraggers get you down. Nim IS very hard. In fact, he IS too hard; too overtuned. Quite a few of us have given feedback on that.

No he isn't, it seems a significant percentage of players have completed him, which would not be the case if he was so difficult.

...But ya, it's a terrible fight for the average casual shooter player to do solo. I hated EVERY MINUTE of my multiple attempts.

Well I have no idea whether I am average or not, but I know I am not wonderful, as at 36 my reflexes are past their prime, I've barely played any shooters (other than very occasionally playing TF2, the last one I played was Medal of Honour : Allied Assault, which was 2002!) so is not like I have years of practice, yet I completed Nim on my second attempt, if I can do it, then I think any average player should be able to do it.

Frankly I think the problem is many games have got easier and this has created a generation of gamers who don't really realize how easy many games are these days (especially when it comes to PvE in MMOs), but anyway the best tip for completeing it is bind your dodge key to your mouse.

Use a FRC Saw with Overcharge and a BMG to heal yourself. That is what I did. By the way he is hard.

Dont like quoting myself but I did say "as much right as anyone to air his thoughts"
both sides, I dont advocate a nerf for nim hes hard but easy once you know how, I just feel everyone has the right to post what they think.
