He is incredibly annoying. There are spots to stand to increase your chances of stunning him, but it's still just RNG. If you're unlucky enough, you can see half your food gone before the first stun. He really needs to be given a tell as to which portal he will come out of sooner. It's kinda stupid that the best method of killing this boss is "stand here and pray."

in the ne corner you wont get hit as he will be too far away when running from wall to wall.

these are the mechanics to work around, its not impossible and its not rng

I 100% guarantee the intended way to kill this boss was not to stand in a specific corner and wait. Your "mechanic" is a cheese of the boss's intended mechanics. If the only reasonable way to beat an encounter is to cheese it, then it's poorly designed and needs addressed.

I never said it was impossible. And if he isn't RNG as you claim, would you kindly provide us with his run pattern so we can all just save ourselves time and just memorize the order and go to the correct pillar before he even spawns? This would be greatly appreciated. Now with added

I already spilled the beans, his path is indicated by the appearance of his yellow dot on the mini map. You can stand outside the door and watch.

There is nothing more to it. In fact, it's nearly impossible to react and travel without the yellow dot.

The intended way was to have up to 5 players standing still.

It's probably why they never fixed the damage bug, because the boss is far easier than it appears.

actually it technically is the mechanic. its far enough away to not be hit, the mechanic to move away, and when in this corner you have all 3 pillars needed to catch it when it is close enough. these are literally the mechanics. there is no bug no glitch no unethical work around. its understanding the mechanics and working out how to deal with it in the most efficient way

there is no need to give run pattern, that isnt what makes it not rng. because again the method i provided it doesnt matter what run pattern it does.

When I wrote the post on the previous page I had gone to Blink to check it out. I knew there was a trick but it took me a minute to remember. Watching the yellow dot appear on the minimap.

I went back last night for a Yak track. Pretty awesome that I got 400k+ base experience by using a wilderness card. 1 dungeon.

Anyways, I can confirm the room orientation does change. The previous one the door was east, this one was north. So you gotta go to the northeast corner every time regardless.

Bottom line:

Difficulty of Blink without using the yellow dots. 11/10
Difficulty of Blink when using the dots to track him 2/10

I give it a 2 only because you need to be quick to hit him when he is stunned.

Blink just sucks. None of the "strategies" here actually work reliably, especially if there's any sort of lag. By the time the yellow dot appears on the minimap, he's already halfway across the room, and standing in the NE corner only works roughly 1 out of 3 times, and I still get hit half the time whether he stops or not.
Blink's mechanics are completely busted and completely RNG. "Stand still in one corner and hope he comes your way" is not fun, it's irritating, especially when it doesn't even work most of the time. I can't wait to get 120 dung to use the cape perk to skip this poorly conceived and terrible implemented boss.
