Need Maven advice - invulnerable bosses

Hi all

I have a serious problem with Maven and I'm completely stumped on what if anything to do with it, or is it bugged or WTF is going on with it.

I play standard league, mostly phys minion zoo though occasionally switch or alter it for some fights. My default setup is a comfy 400-450k DPS per POB (268k base, rest with curse and bleed), though I can adjust it up to around 600k or down depending on how tanky I want my minions to be or how much utility I want.

So this time around, I returned to the game after a pause for about a year, right after the league reset, so at Sentinel start and I've hit a brick wall with Maven.

This is what is happening:

Run 1: Got up to T14, beat all the bosses up until then, got to T16 and beat all but 1 boss. After about 15-20 minutes of fighting him and dying a few times I ran out of portals and that was it. I thought maybe there is some new mechanic or he is simply immune to phys damage or something like that.

Run 2: I dusted myself off, beat all the T14 stuff and got to T16. This time around thinking to mix up my DPS types in case that boss is still there and proceeded. I beat all but now last 2 bosses were immune. Strange. And this is not just phys damage but also fire and cold. I was fighting them for about 20-30 minutes, even died on purpose to port back to hideout to make adjustments mid fight to try things out. Nope.

Run 3: Same as before, I restarted from T14, beat everything, rolled maps with super easy mods to make sure they don't get transferred to the final fights, got up to T16 and proceeded. So now ALL the bosses in the whole fight are immune. I can only damage their totems and minions. I can't damage any of the bosses not even a single point, none, zip, zero. This is using physical, and / or elemental damage.

So WTF is going on ? ALL the bosses seem immune to all damage I can do. Completely immune, no phases where I can depress their life bars, nothing. Is there something going on ? Some new mechanic ? Is it bugged ?

How do I fix this ?

I'm so confused, so you're doing Maven Boss Invitations correct?

1) The map mods you kill the boss in maps don't transfer over to the ones in the invitation. Those bosses only get the modifiers you roll on the invitation, or you can just roll them white.

2) That is a lot of DPS for just a Maven Boss Invitation, if you've killed the bosses in regular maps then you should have no problem killing them in Maven's Invitation unless Maven is healing them faster than you can damage, but your damage should be way more than enough.

3) There are no map bosses or bosses that are just immune to damage or have invincibility phases outside of the Constrictor, Eradicator, Veritania, Drox, Hydra, Minotaur's Dive. I haven't done the regular 10 Boss Maven Invitation in a while, but I can't remember any invincibility phases or frames from any of the Atlas Map Bosses neither.

4) Which bosses are you talking about, if you tell me the map they are from or their name I can help you, but you're not giving any information about these bosses.

Honestly, I have to say, just have the Maven Witness the bosses again and run her invitation completely white with no modifiers like increased life, no consecrated ground and no % Hp converted to ES and pick easy bosses from the Atlas instead of ones that are giving you trouble.

If you can actually damage the bosses but regeneration is an issue, I'd suggest placing in Frost Bomb to solve that issue.

I'm sorry that I couldn't be more help, and I hope it isn't a bug. Good luck Exile!

Yes. The invitations.

OK, so map mods do not transfer. I didn't know that hence I asked and went low mods just in case. The mods on invitations do. On the next round I will just scourge it and see if I can do it white, or just use alts to get something super easy to test it out.

Not a regen issue. I can't damage them at all, as in none, zip, zero, not even a single point. Its not a phase issue either. I can stay in fight for 20+ minutes, more actually but at that point it becomes plain and apparent that I can't do any damage thus it becomes pointless.

On the run where I had just the 2 bosses remaining and both were immune, it was:
The Hallowed Husk
Suncaller Asha


On my last attempt where literally all of them turned immune I didn't take down the boss names because it became apparent to me that its not an individual boss issue. Literally all of them were immune to all my damage the entire time.


I wish I could record it but unfortunately my laptop is not poweful enough for recording and gameplay at the same time.

Suncaller Asha has Consecrated Ground which heals 5% maximum life per second, and the Hollowed Husk shouldn't get its proximity shield in the Maven Invitation Boss fight I think?

Anyway, I'd skip the Park and Palace bosses and choose two different maps to witness along with running the invitation completely white. If you're still unable to deal any damage to the bosses; then, I'd suggest looking at your skill tree and your skill gems to make sure you're not bricking your own build by accident.

Good luck and I hope all goes smoothly!

i have never had *any* immune bosses in maven invitations. i have no idea what you did, but its not a thing that ive even heard of before now.
