Seething Chime

Just about threw my laptop across the room !

Seething Chyme gotta be the most frustrating thing I've ever had the

displeasure of playing and I f*^*n hate it.


Is this game pay to win or what? cause I've been playing for YEARS and I have all of 8 divines and not a single character over level 90.

no matter what I do

Its one of the worst designed bosses in the game in that a normal/"median" human cant understand the mechanics without "spoilers". See: https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/The_Infinite_Hunger

And even if you do know the mechanics: Depending on build it may still be very difficult though.

(And Im not a fan of invulnerable boss phases either... IMO these should all be purged.)

Yupp, absolute waste of time trying to fight this idiotic boss... It need some serious re-designing, speciaclly when you re-enter and instantly die again to its bs one pop mechanics, right after deplating all your flasks to a slowing mud with adds rushing you?,.What kind of stupid boss is this,. f this..

Meanwhile GGG: We are great at making boss battles!

If in years you have a total of 8 divines and no one over L90, (assuming you are actually playing a decent amount and not like 2 hrs per month or something) you are playing bad builds. You have 2 choices there really: Copy a build with a guide or learn the basics to how to build good characters.

As for Seething Chime, just get something with decent damage. Blast him as much as you can then when you get fully dragged under, log out and go back into another portal. It should put you back on the surface for another round. If you have decent damage, you should kill him way before you run out of portals.

And one thing thats particularly bad about this boss is how build-discriminating it is. Its like "super easy" on a strong build with phys-taken-as-ele.

Dont know why they design the game so that those weird defensive mechanics are inherently superior to the vanilla (armour, %phys mitigation) approach.

yes that boss is very stupid, but man your build is bad

Ya Bad build. LOL Very helpful cheers.

You guys are pretty funny.

That character has been re spec'd 20 times. There IS NO build guide for a Dual claw.

Was I not supposed to take all the claw nodes for a claw build?

Isn't Twin Terrors there for Dual wielding?

Seemed logical to me ..... and then I still have to max my resists and find at

least 5k worth of life.... right?

Or is that all wrong?

IDK I have given up on Dual claws I think ...

I consider Phox's RF build a 'GUIDE'

I also have a White Wind Build. 'From a guide' that does MORE than

'decent damage'

I also have a Tornado shot and a Vaal Ice shot that do ' decent damage' ...

They are all stuck at lvl 89, Have great clearing speed and can't Boss..

IDK how T F you guys are getting over 5k in life ON TOP of maxed resists and

MILLIONs of DPS. I can't find the points ....and I don't have Divines...

I guess I just suck. There that make you feel good?

Have a great game....

Pssst. BTW auspexa

I don't play that Map with my 'Bad Build' Dual claw.

Closest I've come to beating it is with Phox's RF guide

which I find boooooring zzzzzzzzzzzz

I had no problem with seething chime on my slayer. Make sure you have good mobility and look at the direction the goop is flowing to know where the portal is.


As for his attacks, they are pretty telegraphed with both an animation and a voiceline. Just dodge the oneshots and bait him out of his invincibility using a blink skill. I use frostblink and it is pretty easy to avoid his damage.

If you find him tough wait until you see his daddy :P

for melee characters consider damage reduction layers like fortify, endurance charges and determination with molten shell or steelskin to get more survivability. Don't rely on evasion to protect you from physical hits.


DPS is also obviously a huge part of endgame viability as well. If you aren't hitting at least 3-5million dps by level 89 you aren't properly set up. For a claw build, try projectile attack combos like lightning strike or venom gyre/whirling strike. You can scale flat damage bonuses on venom gyre for lots of damage and shotgun bosses with the vaal gem and whirling strike combined.

dual wielding isn't in an amazing place right now and you should consider a shield instead to boost survivability.
