The NEW INFECTED BROODMOTHER Is IMPOSSIBLE

[@ImCade]

What gear should I use to kill her...

[@nateslinker1094]

Minty toenail sword with the sword mutation so she deals less damage

[@hyper2948]

Brood venom gives new armor

[@wgoingwolf3471]

Defense badge and mite hat sleek for stamina, koi legs and chest with a ladybug shield and lil fist with truffle tussel to heal her (so you get more lil fist stacks for phase 2 and 3) then for phase 2 and 3 use full sleek mantis gear a fire ant shield the power droplet with chopper and smasher Note: getting hit will delete your lil fist stacks so either block or parry I'd recommend re loading a save if you get hit A boss sauce, liquid rage and spider slider is optional but recommended If you want it faster

Technically most of the fights are 3 phases but there's no visual cue and just added attacks.

[@gravestroys8290]

[@wolfie5890]

Here’s a comment with everything Cade needs to keep in mind for builds and combat. Feel free to like it and add anything to this comment if I miss anything or mess information up. Okay, so: poison ended up getting several buffs. The duration is doubled, each tick of poison does more damage and both the Widow and Spider armor give even more poison damage than they did before. In addition, Mom Genes also has a poison damage increase along with it’s effect. The Broodmother now has a chestpiece and leggings for armor, with the whole set giving poison coating and venom coating if you Sleek upgrade it. It still has the Poison Nova effect it had before, but now it’s the set bonus instead of the Sleek upgrade for the mask, so keep that in mind if you want your Nova’s back. Punching is now viable again because both Lil Fist and the Power Droplet received damage buffs, with Lil Fist also getting an increased stun on punch attacks. The Mastery for Lil Fist now guarantees that for every punch you land, a second hit is guaranteed. The enemy gets control by the second hit though, so a good idea is two punches into a parry to have as much stun time as possible. Wasps in general are now easier to kill and fewer spawn in base attacks. Wasps are also now susceptible to poison, which plays in well with what I stated earlier. If you use Apex Predator with the Bard’s Bow, the Wasps that get summoned now do bleed damage on top of their poison. I know I’m missing a good bit, so feel free to add information to this comment for Cade to see so we can all watch him destroy the entire backyard. I hope everyone that sees this has a good day and remember that you are always valued in this world!

[@OrcathecatSR]

Cade a new Broodmother set is now out. Also the Infected broodmother has a 90% poison damage reduction, venom immune and 60% bleed reduction. So yeah, use a crit/lifesteal build.

[@thatonewyvernkid]

Really my assassin build seemed fine from when I fought her didn't seem like it was reduced

[@Darkex72]

Lifesteal has been nerfed now as well

Use a fresh toenail scimitar instead of a widow dagger/mint club, it helps SO MUCH. Also, corporate kickback bypasses the healing debuffs.

[@MightyOwl20]

Nevermind, as of the current 1.2.3 patch realeased today corporate kickback no longer bypasses the health debuffs. Nevertheless, it should still be a massive help.

[@zaijinmatthewguittap9258]

Shocking dismissal buff is actually pretty decent with toenail scim, the few seconds of stun you get is a lifesaver

Full sleek broodmother armor or full sleek fire ant armor helps a ton against infected broodmother, also fresh scimitar and fungal trinket if you get lucky enough for the 1% drop rate. Unarmed power droplet build is also good against her just dont use truffle tussle because she heals from explosions

[@Thieverpedia]

On the contrary, using Truffle Tussle on the first phase is an excellent way to build stacks of Lil Fist. Healing her during the easier first phase lets you build the stack for later phases.

[@sovninja]

[@sovninja]

@@meribarecentes6255 That's true. I was going to say would that be used with shield solidifier and then when phase 2 hits put on power droplet.... but would that cancel the effects of lil fist?

[@Atrexiuh]

@@Thieverpedia true I just watched a video about that

[@GGODT]

hey I beat it. here are some tips. 1. Make the widow dagger fresh. The infected broodmother is weak to fresh. Use the sleek broodmother mask, sleek assassins chestplate, and bulky broodmother greaves (they're in the game now). have the suspicious mint cap for extra mint damage. 2. For mutations, use coup de grass, assassin, meat shield, mithridatism, and corporate kickback 3. drink every smoothie imaginable 4. use the red ant shield and really practice parries, as they will allow you to heal with corporate kickback. 5. you can parry a lot of the attacks, like the scream, but run away from the spore attacks and the gnat attacks. 6. listen to cool music

[@astolfrodolfo9868]

I may have not watched this fight before but for some reason I had the feeling that she would revive herself and go to a second stage it really surprised me it's a strange sensation it's like I knew she would revive but at the same time I didn't was that just me or did anyone else felt the same? Okay, I didn't expected her to revive a second time. Also that "you've gotta be kidding me" when she revived the second time was amazing and funny as well as fitting for the situation it really conveys the disbelief in Cade's voice

figured id give you a heads up since i have a similar base, if you get a flying enemy raid just reload your last save and move somewhere else before the raid restarts. they will just attack the bottom of your base and its pretty hard to deal with

[@NinjaMaster-og8ti]

Learnung the fight is so much more satisfying then a broken build, and even then, youll need immense skill. As a big dark souls/bloodborne/elden ring fan, this was easily my favorite boss. Gives me such good memories of the adrenaline rush of souls games

Trinket = Wittle Widowling (for summons) Mutations: 1. Mithridasism (to Minimize received Poison damage) 2. Spicy Safety (acquired by eating Spicy Shards): reduces stabbing, smashing, and explosion damage. 3. Coup de Grass (chance of crit) 4. Trapper Peep.r (crit again) 5. Mansterious Stranger (Mant summon, need I say more?) Potions: 1. Beefy Liquid Rage (Attack Boost) 2. Beefy Fuzz on the Rocks (Health Boost) 3.

Hey Cade, the best way I’ve found to fight it, heal heal heal.

Use the item stealing mutations and the sticky fingers accessory with no poison armor and punch the scarabs in the pipe until they are one hit away from dying, then run to the other end of the pipe, and they will gain their health back and you can steal 2 more shells, and repeat!!!
