For anyone who didn't realise, Truffle Tussle was because when you heal the boss, you get more hits in. When you get more hits, more Lil Fist damage stacks.

I have the same thought as you.

[@thecheesefriz7741]

"lowest skill build" but also requires PERFECT perfect block 🤣🤣 anyways thanks for the crazy strat! Amazing

[@Paraly5er]

But it requires the least perfect blocking of ANY build. You HAVE to parry way more to beat her normally. Also don't have to parry you can just block regularly

[@zombislayerx8361]

I really think they should leave this build untouched at least for a pretty long Time since you need to have a ton of endgame gear and mutations wich the average player problably dont have. I think that if you spend the Time grinding for all of this you earn the right to "cheese" if you choose to (THIS IS NOT PVP!). Theres creative mode after all. Cant get More cheese than that

[@Paraly5er]

I wouldn't consider this cheese tbh as the infected brood can still hit you. Cheese implies you are getting to a safe spot where you can't be hit and can't lose the fight

[@zombislayerx8361]

@@Paraly5er yes mate for sure Is NOT. I didnt meant to called your strat cheese by any mean. I was trying to mimic what the team problably thinks before nerfing something thats all. Like why would they Nerf something in a PVE game that in first place has a creative mode with so many settings including a GOD mode Is beyond me. They should focus on actual bugs/glitches and BUFFS! even to insects instead of nerfing a specific item just because once you have ALL the rarest/hard-2-get gear in the whole game becomes "too powerfull". Your strategies do nothing but reflect how frikin smart and skilled you are.

[@marciosilva1041]

Hey Paraly5er, send a shout out to Brazil, I'm a big fan of yours since the first grounded videos and I'm back playing now with update 1.2 and I'm back to watching all your videos, thank you so much for all the tips and everything, u such a badass!!!

[@romanbraeuker3678]

good video.. love you

[@Paraly5er]

Thanks!

[@Wyattthedangeruse]

They should add a assassin bug as a stepping stone to the infected Broodmother the (armor set would give you more resistance the more bug parts you have and the higher the tear the parts are (tear 1 0.05) (tear 2 0.5) (tear 3 1) (boss parts 5)) (the mutation makes you life steal if you Perfect block) (the weapon will do poison and toxicity and it will be a spear)

[@DJBendytheFox]

Wow this was actually very helpful and I'm gonna use this for the infected broodmother! What's the best way to kill the Mantis? Also man I think you're underrated you need more subs

[@Paraly5er]

Thanks! The mantis is complicated. Currently the best strat is probably just run away and shoot arrows haha

[@BloodCoCo]

Wooooow! I appreciate it. Im your big fan BTW.

[@Paraly5er]

Thanks! Also appreciate the build for the fists, I assume the idea was to stun it as much as possible to prevent it attacking?

[@BloodCoCo]

@@Paraly5er No, just bc the crit of 150up stacks lil fist's punch can easily destroy phase3 IBM than any effects of other builds :D It's not in my plan to stun it.

[@Lordofyourfate]

Why not using the fang from infected spider? 30% chance on parry to explode. Wouldnt that make more sense than the defense badge? Of course, if you have it. Just imagine it would proc everytime of her 5 attack combo :D. Might try to test it. EDIT: Why do you people keep telling me the explosions heal her? I know they do and thats exactly why I suggested it. You want her to live long enough in the first phase to stack the lil fist. In the second and third phase you of course continue with power droplet. But with fang you can get easily 150+ stacks, that means a lot bigger change in second and third phase. If you are patient, by simple blocking you can keep healing her over and over until you have like 200 stacks, then you are like one punch man. On the top of this, once you have the matriarch weapon, you can switch midfigths to heal her with the bombs in the first phase as well and make the process of stacking faster.

[@Paraly5er]

Wait, I didn't think of that haha, that's actually a great idea. I knew I'd miss something haha

[@Lordofyourfate]

@@Paraly5er Just tried it like 20 times. With defense badge it was like 110-120 stacks, with fang I had it also, but few times I got to 130+ stacks in the first phase... once even 156. But shield explosions cause kind of visual smog and I would not suggest it to the average player. I was playing it on Whoa.

[@GhostLucas273]

Explosions heal the boss

[@MoyuGuy]

@@GhostLucas273 thats the point, more lil fist hits

[@trapzila6218]

You’re a wizard Harry

[@chickentoess]

I feel like you should do another mutation tier list since there are a bunch of new ones and alot of them got buffed. Also you should try out corporate kickback because every time it activates it can get you back to full health easily.

[@Paraly5er]

Yeah I need to redo a lot of tier lists

[@sevinanderson8919]

I found this method to be more difficult honestly. I tried this for a bit and got angry so I said screw it and did my own build. I did full fire ant armor set with the sleek route. Fire ant shield and a level 9 fresh toenail scimitar. As for mutations I did Parry Master, Blademaster, Sour Sensation, Coup De Grass, and Corporate Kickback. It got me through the first 2 phases quite easily and for the third phase I found it much much easier to just hold the block button for the Infected Broodmother's super fast attack, and parry everything else.

[@Paraly5er]

Each to their own. I used this on my Whoa save and got it on the 3rd try, I find this is much easier personally as much less blocking required

[@mayormaynotbeelster]

I'm glad that this forsaken things doesn't have the infected wolf spider's explosive attacks

[@Boxiertuna]

That would suck

[@Paraly5er]

Yeah thank god, I'm sick of the infected wolf spider. Only explosive attack this has is the booty shot but it only happens if you get too far away

[@joelsvensson09]

I am usualy playing without stamina drain in custom on grounded so what build should i use. Also why didn't you make the koi armor sleek?

[@Paraly5er]

No need to make it sleek, the inf brood has a really high stun cap so chances of stunning her are minimal. This build would work fine with stamina drain, no need for the mite hat I guess

[@kj29awsome]

For anyone wondering, if you can block this is DEFINITELY worth, just beat ibm with using 0 heals, I did have to restart once, but that’s because my controller disconnected, as long as you can perfect block screams it becomes extremely easy, for phase 3 I just held my shield on her extremely fast attacks, hit her till she screamed, then perfect blocked-boom easy

[@kj29awsome]

And for anyone that doesn’t wanna do crit, you don’t NEED to, I did it with ladybug for healing, (my only max set on my new play through) kept coupe on, but only had phase 1 trapper, so I used manta

[@Paraly5er]

You should be able to hold down the shield to block the screams too I'm pretty sure, just risky as you get stunned temporarily

[@bopit5586]

Will you make an updated Mantis build?

[@Paraly5er]

I've considered it, mantis isn't easy

[@Haloguy42042]

Challenge idea: you can only parry, if you get hit or block you restart to last save, of course the objective is to kill normal broodmother Another idea: no armor which is simple but challenging, once again just kill broodmother I know these ideas aren't the best but they could make a decent video I guess

[@Paraly5er]

Can't beat the brood in the 1st challenge as her scream cannot be parried or blocked. I've done no armor pre 1.0 so if I were to do it again I'd probably beat the whole game

[@Haloguy42042]

@Paraly5er how about shovels only? I know it's gonna take like 10 years but you completed the challenge with a canteen so you definitely can with shovel

For the first set, you could also use the volatile fang which has a chance to explode with perfect blocks

[@Paraly5er]

True, someone else also mentioned this and it does infact work

[@slate613]

IIRC, I think the patch that just dropped addresses at least the issue of the bomb exploding after it's destroyed.

Myth: If you eat mushrooms in third person from there natural spawn point (Holding “Consume” button from staring at it). It will glitch out and visually be there, but you can’t pick them up anymore.

[@Mochisnek]

This isnt a myth its a fact

[@Scooby206]

Maybe you can explain why the chopper and smasher mutations? As chopper is only useful when useing a chopping tool and smasher when useing a smashing tool and as we are unarmed neither is applicable

[@Paraly5er]

Power droplet effect - Unarmed attacks have a 25% chance to deal a second hit. These 2nd hits that deals 6 damage and are able to inherit effects from Mutations and Armor intended for different damage types. This means mutations like chopper and smasher become useful

[@armoredshredder2352]

Im working on blocking the 5 piece but once the second wave hits its impossible to not get hit from all the bombs going off and the constant smoke in the air where i cant see her. He second starts much calmer than mine

[@Paraly5er]

The smoke doesn't damage you, the bombs have since changed but are still avoidable particularly near the point at which you summon her

[@armoredshredder2352]

@Paraly5er I know the smoke doesn't but she does it twice in a row and I can't see her anymore. I'm going to keep trying but that second wave starts immediately with bombs and a scream so it's hard to avoid getting hit and I lose my stats

[@cleyli6092]

Hey Paraly5er, i think I made a new life steal built (that means i havent seen it anywhere) and i killed 3 ox beetles with it and it would make me very happy if you could test it out. here is it: mask of the broodmother on sleek, widow armour chestplate on sleek and legs of the broodmother on sleek so you got a lot of poison damage. then a Tick Macuahuitl on mighty best case is max level so you do more damage. and a ladybird shield for the chance of a free attack or a fire ant shield for corrosion. for mutations i took corporate kickback because its really good for healing + swordmaster + mom genes + coup de gras+ the mutation for extra crit damage idk the name i didnt unlock it. and the trinket is the health and safety badge for more healing. and to negate the damage from it i would take one bandage every fight. edit: its a poison life steal built if you havent noticed. it does very much damage because of the poison and it heals yourself a lot

[@Paraly5er]

Could use ladybug armor instead as that multiplies your amount healed but sounds like a cool build nonetheless

[@vipanez5728]

hm why do u need perfect block? I dont loose the stacks if i hold block. So whats the point of perfect block? I think you can get a lot of block strengh to not reach the maximum of the blockbar in the whole fight. Also the Shield Solidifier trinket is very good.

[@Paraly5er]

You don't NEED to perfect block but it helps to avoid being stunned as if you get stunned you are more likely to get hit

[@YAWNFILMZ]

[@MoyuGuy]

do i take damageif i hold the sheild? i heard somewhere it takes stamina but perfect doesnt cost stamina

[@Paraly5er]

Holding the shield prevents damage but will build up the block bar on the shield, if it fills up you will be stunned for a couple of seconds

I'm missing your mythbusting series, i hope you arent done with it. i just switched between defense badge and Entomologist Badge and i dont notice a huge differance on my poison bleed build so ......

[@literatemax]

@@Paraly5er The Sleek modifier on it cuts stamina regen delay in half. It plus the Ladybird Shield is a build all on its own because the free attack effect from the Ladybird Shield lasts long enough for your stamina to regen even while attacking, since free attacks don't interrupt it.

[@jasonhosein5328]

@@Paraly5er ok thanks

[@Xeadon]

Why chopper and smasher??

[@Paraly5er]

Chopper makes the boss weaker to busting, stabbing and chopping attacks by 20%. Smasher makes the enemy attack speed reduced by 30%. Using the fists with lil fist and power droplet means that the second attacks produced can be ANY attack type including chopping and busting. When this applies these effects will proc making the boss take more damage and reducing it's speed meaning less attacks to block

[@cygnusx-1256]

It's a shame they nerfed lil'fist again by limiting the stacks to 100 after basically gutting it in the rework. Still makes for some fun shenanigans though

[@bentleystephens6646]

Thing is I can't parry so I just block but then my shield stops

[@Paraly5er]

Maybe try the shield solidifier trinket or learn to parry

[@bloodyocean6669]

I just tried this and immediately when I beat her I got a gold card for it and the trinket!!😂😅

Talk about good luck

[@Paraly5er]

Damn that's insane luck

What’s the point of chopper and smasher?

[@Paraly5er]

Stuns the boss and slows attack speed to stop it attacking in phases 2 and 3.

This is medium but this build would work just as well on whoa, haven't tried it myself though

[@fidoughbreadit]

Why assassin amour? How much is it helping? Why not, fire ant legs for more damage, Termite chest to slow her down, and wizard hat for the perfect block and damage? (still checking if wizard hat's damage works) Also if anyone knows of a better helmet, please tell me.

[@Paraly5er]

Assassin armor for the crit chain. The goal is to stop her attacking in stages 2 and 3. Assassin armor makes it so if you crit you are more likely to crit again and crits stop her from attacking.

[@fidoughbreadit]

@@Paraly5er but didn't they change how you hit them back? I thought they now have a timer before you can do that again, Also what's the Percentage of crit Chain? So shouldn't that mean slowing her down will be better because it's more consistent?

[@Paraly5er]

@@fidoughbreadit The timer is for stunning enemies. Stunning is when they get the yellow ring around there head. Crits cause a stagger effect that stop an enemies current attack.

[@fidoughbreadit]

@@Paraly5er "Creatures now have a stagger cooldown to prevent them from being stun-locked, ranging from 1 second to 20 seconds depending on tier/creature." It's 4am for me right now, so I won't be testing, but look at your video, the first crit hit her back, but the other crits are not. I used that build before, and I remember knocking back the bosses a lot, and now it doesn't, maybe it was a glitch before or they did change it in the 1.2 update.

[@KCGemini]

@@Paraly5er Edit: Chain Crit was fixed and now correctly works with regular attacks, thanks to patch 1.2.3. However, the stagger resist mechanic prevents Infected Broodmother from staggering again for an 'X' amount of time after a stagger from a crit.

[@kingmatron]

Can anyone confirm if this was nerfed or still works?

[@Paraly5er]

Nerfed, have an updated guide though

[@Sortia2012]

I got trinket on my 2nd 3rd or 4th try😂

[@Paraly5er]

Nice!

[@purplemicrodot58]

My blocking just isn't that good. The idea of me fighting her and not missing at least one block makes me laugh. Good guide. I suck.

[@Paraly5er]

Unfortunately you need to be able to block to beat her. The majority of the blocking here is in phase 1 which is the easiest phase to block.

[@lgtexas2013]

What happens if u put "bugs ignore" will she still attack? 😂

[@Paraly5er]

Yeah she will, bosses can be weird though, like sometimes if you reload and summon again they can ignore you. You could turn player damage off and then you can't lose the fist stack haha

[@lgtexas2013]

@@Paraly5er Lmao haha I'm definitely doing that cheese😂🧀

[@BerialPhantom]

why dont use barbarian for the 30% more multiplier? Makes the 200 stacks 260 lol

[@Paraly5er]

Then you can't parry attacks so if the block meter on the shield fills up and you take damage then you lose your stacks completely

[@BerialPhantom]

So risk reward playstyle good tradeoff bar isnt gonna cap in phase 1

[@april1306]

How do u get the broodmother infected?

[@Paraly5er]

It's a new boss

Oh

I searched the map for it and can’t find it

[@april1306]

Is there a different place for it?

[@Paraly5er]

@@april1306 It's in the haze just west of the haze lab in a trench

[@Niggabee]

Sometimes I perfect block and I get staggered and lose my stack cause she hits me. It usually happens with the 5 piece and idk why I’m on controller so it’s difficult asf

[@Paraly5er]

I think it's something to do with the blue liquid, try and keep her out of it by fighting her near the entrance to the lair

[@kegen121]

Man they nerfed it. You should feel some special love knowing the game devs watch you videos

[@purplemicrodot58]

I spent the past few days leveling Smasher, logged on yesterday to finally attempt this fight and NERF.

[@Paraly5er]

Yeah I gotta find what's best now

[@kegen121]

@Paraly5er haha It must feel kinda awesome knowing the devs sort of use your boss killing builds as a benchmark for what they want and don't want. It's cool to see there only nerfed it a Lil bit. 100 stacks will still kill stage 3 in about 20 hits or less

[@SlothManGames]

They really need to add a way to craft trinkets or a respawn timer. Cause in my shared world of like 248 days. A couple montha ago, the game crashed and deleted all my equiped gear including the power droplet and now there is zero point in doing a fist build without the power droplet. If anyone can think of a way to help me get it back please let me know. I can't revert the save cause I am not the owner of the save, plus that was over 175 days ago

[@Paraly5er]

I don't think you can sadly. I've never heard of stuff dissapearing though, surely it's somewhere? Have you tried checking where it spawns again?

[@SlothManGames]

@@Paraly5er I've checked every update and it's not there. So basically this was when black widows came out, I died to its poison and then the game crashed. I load the game back up and all my equipped items are gone. Weapon, trinket, and armor just gone. I checked all over where I died and in the black widow cave and absolutely nothing there. I don't care about the armor or the weapon. I just want the trinket back.

[@Taral9783]

@@SlothManGames that sucks, have you tried doing the recover backpacks option in the game menu? That would be the only other way I could see getting it back

[@Paraly5er]

@@SlothManGames Don't think there's any solution. I would try using debug to recover backpacks and maybe it'll spawn back at spawn. Final option would be to use the cheat engine on PC to spawn it in

[@SlothManGames]

@@Paraly5er I'll try the debugg thing and see what happens. I can't do the thing for pc cause I play on xbox. They really need to allow us to craft them or have them respawn after a certain amount of time.

can someone link me that "black ant eg method"

It's patched but it's called "How to destroy every boss in Grounded" I took black ant eggs into the boss fight, killed all the black ants to stack lil fist damage and then summoned the boss killing them in 5 hits each
