Architect one shotting?

Is there any mechanic to him? Hit him and he seems to do a quick frost AoE around him which insta kills me

Anyone?

Fought him again, hit him a few times then some sort of instant AoE around him and i'm dead.

No visual clue

Here with the same question. I'm having trouble finding information about Xipocado boss online. I've gotten one shot twice now and I have no idea why, or what I should do differently next time. He summons his bullet hell, I'm having a grand old time bobbing and weaving, as far as I can tell no projectiles are touching me, then there's a pop and I got from full to zero. Then he give his troll line "An issue of skill." Nice one.

I mean my first mistake was playing melee, but I'm committed sooo yeah. Anyone know?

(GGG I am begging you, give us visual tools to understand our mistakes. I love your games but this sucks.)


Edit: Turns out dying to this boss closed all my remaining map portals and marked the map Attempted, so I lost the Corruption Nexus. That's a nasty bug, feels awful, tempted to stop playing.

I was looking around to see if anyone had a similar experience. I think my gear is above average. I have:

20k armour
3k health
20k armour against cold
35k armour against lightning and fire
Capped resistance

His frost looking Aoe one shot me from full health.

How much dmg does this guy do.

I mean I have killed him 3 times before but this is the first time seeing this ability.

Any updates on this? This has made an already dog shit league mechanic literally useless to me. I'm about to complete the campaign and am just hard ignoring the vaal stuff since now it doesn't even offer free exalt/regals anymore...

It's really astonishing that they combine an idiotic one-shot with a die and you can't rerun mechanic. Why? They play their game, I know, were they drunk when they released this and left on holiday?

Here's the sad part: you won't get an answer. GGG doesn't care unless streamers complain, the people that can kill him easily do it so fast they don't even know his moves, and the rest of us have no clue what is happening.

They want the fight to last long and player to learn the fight however 1 shots and limited attempts + gatekeeping behind keys or other things is not a good way to learn the fights.

I just don't get how they still have the problem of most of that dungeon barely moves my hp down, I play one handed just with the mouse and this guy just 1 shots with some pale looking ice on the ground that fills, as far as I can tell the whole fucking room and thus is undodgeable.

I'm sure it's not but that's my 5 seconds of interaction I've had with that boss and I'm not watching homework youtube videos for like 3 exalts every 2 hours worth of content.

Like... at least make the rest of the dungeon more damaging so I can tell I'm in some sort of danger. Maybe this is just augmented by the dumb way armour interacts with big hits.

This boss fight is pretty busy. He does a lot of different attacks. They are all telegraphed, but it's a lot to remember.

Don't go berserk on him. Hit him a few times, then watch what he does and avoid it. He has a big cold AoE centered on him. Move away from him as he charges that (you'll see a blue circle growing around him on the floor). Then he has a fire AoE in an area. Move away when you see it (big red circle on the floor). Sometimes red hands slap down. Move in angles (straight away, then turn 45 degrees and go straight) and they will always miss you. Then he summons squares and slams down. This is the most dangerous one for me, but I think there's a trick where you can actually walk over to one of the entrances, and then the squares cannot hit you. Then he has a bunch of other attacks, like spark, bouncy balls (lots of damage), fire pillars, electric squares, and a mini-tornado that specifically hates melee players.

Honestly, it's too much! This boss needs to be toned down, especially since you get 1 shot every 6 maps at best, and there's no way for the player to down-level him. Maybe he should wait a bit more between attacks, or some of the attacks should have their damage reduced, or reduce how many different attacks he has.

EDIT: To be clear, he is absolutely designed to 1-shot you, even if you have reasonable defenses (I think you do). His attacks are telegraphed, and you're supposed to dodge them. But, it is hard. It's not easy.
