  Just a little update. The boss can also use Meteor Strike, Ranged Attack (where does he pull the arrows from. . . He's a giant piece of armor with no weapons), Magnum Shot, Mirage Missile, Judgement blade, and Celestial Spike. He also uses that one Girgashiy skill that immobilizes the player in crystal. He can summon clones of you to fight you. There's some skill that makes purple circles on the floor but idk what skill that is. He spawns with Cobweb Ghosts, Goblin Hunters, those Goblins that look like monkeys, Skeleton Ogres, and Castle Golems. All with tanky health. He doesn't have advanced heavy stander so if you annoy him you can interrupt his charging animations. He also changes the color of his ponytails, I've noticed him be Blue, Green, Red, and Gray. Idk what his color does yet but as I said, it's probably a Nightmare-deal. He also can teleport halfway across the arena, which is a huge distance. What skills/abilities he has probably varies with difficulty. He could use better AI/larger aggro range. But still, I'd suspect most people here would have trouble in at least the hardest difficulty of this boss if not earlier.
  
  People were mostly going hit and run because they can't handle this boss, from what I've seen. The only "typical" tactic they used is trying to clear out all the mobs then corner him at the door frame (have to be very exact because the door frame isn't very wide) so they can spam way of the gun on him.
  
  Edit: For the laughs

  How 2 range with no bow? lol
  
  So basically, the boss just tries to occupy you with a fuckton of minions while it uses its high power skills.
  
  Any passive defense? Also is there any possibility it has Apostle's damage reduction? How strong is its Celestial Spike compared to player's? I'm guessing its clone summon is the same as the Doppelganger's?

  I don't really do Apostle runs so I don't know how his skills compares to Gargashiy. He never got a chance to use Celestial Spikes, he kept being interrupted. He did use Judgement Blade but I didn't get a chance to take note of its damage. I have been noticing him use Heavy Stander and Natural Shield (pinged red and yellow), but didn't see him ping blue, not sure if that's because he can't or they just didn't do that. His passive defenses might be locked to his hair color, not sure.

  I notice the irony of my previous post. Lets just hope it is irony rather than a letdown.

  Girgashiy has some Defense and about 70% Protection, but additionally has yet another 96% damage reduction added after defensive stats, which can't be bypassed other than Judgment Blade during a certain phase. All that damage reduction results in 10s or 100s of damage.

  I don't think anybody can blame you for posting that, and I also don't think anybody expected what happened to happen.

  Ugh yeah, saw he was "only 75K HP on solo" in NA and I was all "I can do that!" then I go in and I'm doing like 17 damage per melee hit and just... I gave up after getting him to 80% because I got bored, was taking too long.

  If you're referring to the final hit on final round during the stream, that seems like a fair amount of damage due to the fact that they're endgame players. If this is what the final hit revamp really is then I'll retract all of my previous statements on final hit and stand corrected. I'm hearing they were naked at the time tho with an exception to weapons of course. I guess this will be confirmed in due time :)
  
  Meantime... I just got some enchanted 180s for 2m each yay!

  I'm excited about the new dungeon. Hopefully they won't stop there.
  
  I'm less excited about the archery renewal. They added one new skill (which looks pretty nice) but not much more beyond that. Mirage Missile jumps up to 880 max damage per tick and the ability to kill with mirage damage. Most everything else is about the same. That's not a bad thing but it's certainly not very exotic.

  No I'm talking about Girgashiy raid. I wasn't even there in the stream.

  I honestly think that devcat didn't want to deal with archery and decided it would be much more interesting to work on this new dungeon which I honestly don't mind. I never did like archery anyways and wasn't all that interested in it. This dungeon on the other hand...can't wait to try it out next week.

  This update is pretty exciting for me because they did what I've wanted them to do for a long time and that is for them to convert existing landscapes into the equivalent of shadow missions. I'll be happy enough to run around defeating waves of monsters in the hillwen mines or by the whirlpool mark.

  Seems to be on a low difficulty. The stream shared earlier had quite the challenge with the boss.
