After four years, I finally killed Uber Elder...
… as I died on my sixth portal. Watching as he dropped the first Prismatic Jewel I ever saw.
Yeah, I know... "Four years? Sounds like you're the most inefficient player ever!". Well,I play as a casual. I experimented around two dozens of builds before finally getting this far. I made it a matter of honor to finally kill the ultimate boss of the game this league. In a sense, I succeeded. But being stripped of the rewards of such a long fight (both ingame and on a greater scale) just felt like the biggest middle finger this game has ever given me. Just wanted to share some pain with those who may have lived the same frustration. I know I’ll do better next time, but it still hurts a bit somewhere in particular...

6th portal? It took me 7 sets of portals before I finally killed him.

Uber Elder was added in the 3.2.0 patch on March 2, 2018 so it didn't take you as long as you thought. :)
Just a lowly standard player. May RNGesus be with you.

That watchers eye had bad stats.
The next one will be amazing. Peace, -Boem- Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes

4 years!!!
get on my level ... it took me almost 8(albeit some of this he didnt exist or I was playing other games)... first attempt... 5 portals second-fourth.... 3 portals lulz at stupid dps only attempted it because I did my first solo shaper to(never really bothered trying before) on first attempt also another first for this league was uber atziri... I sat in middle of room holding cyclone hitting molten shell every time she came back for good measure | |
You may not have gotten the loot, but you finished him on your own. In comparison there are players from beta that will never come close.
I myself went through plenty of sets to get my first take down, and more than one was wasted by server dcs/crashes. It was the one fight I struggled with for some time. In the end I realized that my failures were almost exclusively because I would attack too long because my damage was so below par and end up making a silly mistake that would chain until I ran out of portals. I would bet that now you've actually done it, your confidence going into the next few runs will be a lot less harrowing. Yep, totally over league play.

Been here 7 years now, haven't seen most of the so-called endgame.

" Well I lost 3-4 sets a few months ago with another build, so I wasnt completely new with the fight. " True, but you get the point, I've played for around 4 years before even getting to Shaper. :p " That's what I had to tell myself... " Still gotta try to take her on. But physical reduction is such an unsolvable problem for spellcasters that I'm not I want to risk a set of fragments. " Keep trying, it's worth the effort if you enjoy the game. ;) " I hope you're right. On with another week of Atlas manipulations to finally get him back!

" Hey, I can relate, I just recently completed the Shaper fight for the first time I guess about a month ago. Uber Elder has been the only thing I haven't been able to do by myself. Soon though, my build is coming together. :) Just a lowly standard player. May RNGesus be with you.
