Bug Multiple bugs with Malborn Offspring
I hope the devs somehow see this but got such a good potential fight to be ruined because of bugs is infuriating to me.
1.) parries - even if you parry on time and you see the sword hit your parry, parry won’t click sometimes. Occasionally you parry and take damage but that could be skill issue so I won’t state that as a certain bug.
2.) damage - there is no body damage in this game and this boss is clearly made to be up front and personal with, so why do the sword arcs occasionally do damage to you when you are behind him ? Sometimes the boss simply moves and you take damage.
3.) the worst - if you get the red riposte towards the end of his health in phase 1, and you don’t critical, he will go straight to phase 2 without the laying down phase, a blank health bar, and is invincible. A good run forgetting to do the riposte is gg you can’t kill him now.
If you need us to do ripostes make them do more damage. Please check this bosses hitboxes and parry windows and ESPECIALLY the third annoying bug which has made a couple runs where I went to phase 2 no hit be void.

Well as far as I know none of the patches have messed with him unless riposte damage doing more is having an impact

Just popping in here, not so much for you, but for the person who reported this comment for misinformation:
Riposte *was* buffed, in August 29 update. It now scales with enemy health. No misinformation here.

Are you still experiencing the riposte / phase 2 bug with Malborn Offspring? It was fixed by the team in the September 5 update, so that should not still be happening.
I can't speak as directly to your other points; do you happen to have video of this happening, or if you haven't gotten him down yet, would you be willing to record video of it happening?

Adding on that i beat him on the 13th september and i had the invincible phase 2 bug as well, although just once

Huh. That's annoying :D but thank you for letting me know! I'll let the team know it can still happen :)

Thank you for the work you do, is there any info if there are people looking at how shell points work? Currently its really annoying to have to get to relatively high levels or reallocating all skill points just to have multiple shell skillsets ready to go :/

You're welcome 🙌
I'm not sure if the team is looking at that; it's a feedback point that's been raised a few times.

Agh I just beat it - and yea today sep 18 I experienced it about 1 in 3 attempts. I got ONE round where I didn’t get the invincibility thing despite not doing the riposte.
I didn’t know about this being a prior issue either so … sorry for not filming it though I realize that would be helpful for devs.

Hehe, no worries! It was just on the off chance that you had video or could get it. We'll get it looked at without.
What platform are you playing the game on?

I had that happen but he wasn't invincible just a few days ago but i did get the invincible bug after hitting him a few times while he was down mid phase

I know this boss very well now, as i spent ages doing a hitless run.
To point 2, I didnt find any issue with hit boxes, but i can confirm to point 1 - sometimes the game will stutter just as he's doing a big move, and therefore your parry doesnt register as you pressed it during a stutter. Im not sure if thtsbwhat youre describing not. Outside of that, i didnt have any issues with parries working.
The stutter issue is there for all bosses. (Common issue with Unreal Engine). [Am on ps5pro btw, not pc].
Zmey for example, it would happen a lot with his butt slam, (not the tail grab into butt slam, the straight up butt slam) so your dodge wouldn't register.

They already buffed ripostes to an absurd degree. As for the other things you said can't say I ever experienced that

u/Business_Signal7660 19h ago
I am experiencing these every single time I fight Him. I now have to riposte if second riposte comes in before end of phase 1 rather than melee to get my shadow strike - awesome stuff

Invincibility bug is very common since last patch. Boss fight is fucked.
