Balbala is stupid, this is bad game design

This boss fight is bullshit. Stuck in a room with poison gas and the solution is to find an INVISIBLE enemy. There is no "figuring this out", its just a stupid thing you have to look up on YouTube, the answer isn't satisfying, the gameplay isn't fun. This is just bad. Don't make fucking invisible enemies. Period. Its bad design.

If you think that's bad, wait until he's on your side.

I didn't have to look anything up to defeat Balbala. Nor did many, many others. A little observation and it was easy to see what was happening.

tons of bad design. I was excited when I heard they were removing reflect and spell reflect, only to run into the eternal knights mid way though act 1. it recall it vividly because its the point where I stopped enjoying poe2 and started to despise the designers.

100% a skill issue...took me about 2 tries to figure it all out before I killed it on the third. Get gud

This boss reminds me of that Whakawairua Tuahu prox shield annoying boss that constantly teleports/moves around.

For me the hardest part was that the boss was constantly moving around so i could barely tickle him over time. It was more like a game who kills who first due to attrition.

Mechanics themself in that fight are pretty managable imo. The poison-find me-pls phase has an audio-visual cue where the Boss hides.

You... haven't been curious how to counter that and walked around for like 2 seconds to figure it out?
Wow.

The things people find "difficult" never ceases to blindside me lol

You dont have to look up anything to do any of the bosses. pay attention.

ROFL

This, I'm afraid, is a skill issue friend. Go overlevel or, as some have said already, "get good".
