Grounded - Infected Broodmother

[@Blueicebox14]

At first I thought “oh he killed it three times nice!” Then I realized it was all one big battle 😢😂

[@TheMarios327]

EDIT: This was done on 1.2, they've made the water pool give her buffs in 1.2.4 💀 PSA: Her summon item is very expensive, so it's recommended to just craft 1 and dupe it for 1k raw science. This was done on normal mode. Also yes, she heals from explosions! - Reposting this since I'm silly and deleted my own comment instead of editing lol

[@foggyman6076]

Thanks for the tip, but I like fighting the bosses so I believe it to be understandable for me. Also it’s worth it if you get to fight this monstrosity

[@garden7549]

I like how the sca.b still says that you are still in danger, quite a nice touch.

[@GojoGOATED]

You’re the FIRST person I’ve seen kill this boss. Kudos to you! And congratulations for making history!

[@RuhRohRickey]

I honestly think it should have minions so that the boss is harder, for me it was just a sped up broodmother

@@Bullzi009 First I’VE seen alright? My bad

[@joashbergman5477]

Same here. Others just die off at stage 2 cause they thought she had one life.

[@Rickybik]

I remember the first time my friend and I fought this thing and killed the first stage. Both of us were like "Damn that was awesome! Let's collect our prize" and we couldn't cuz it had more stages and right before it jumped back up to life I yelled through the mic IT'S NOT DEAD YET!! And my friend looked back at the carcass to see it spring back to life with far more health, moving faster and dealing more damage with new attacks. Truly one of the most fun boss fights I've ever played. Edit: mind you the enemies multiply their health based on how many players are in the fight

[@The_Nü_Wave]

Love how they kind of remixed the soundtrack for the normal broodmother fight

[@arthurthebootleg6318]

The Soundtrack was made by Justin E. Bell (The Outer Worlds) and Finishing Move Inc. (Crackdown 3).

[@PyroGam3s]

you make it look easy, but this is also single player fight, and you doing almost perfect blocks every single time. That's super good! Great video! It's just that I'm trying to do a 2 player infected broodmother boss and ours has a lot more health than this video shows so it's a much longer fight and hard to compare our weapon dmg with yours. Not all of us are this good at blocking, especially when she switches between players it's harder to get the timing right.

[@thearmedbandit]

Incredibly impressed, this fight is insane

[@lightblueandfriends]

Dang you beat this so fast that’s impressive.

[@Comeback180]

What you really want is to use items that reduce its defense to take more damage. have spiderlings/mant for distractions and boss sauce for higher percentage of crit chance. She needs a nerf on that healing received shouldn't be stackable, it should be on a timer.

[@PyroGam3s]

@@Comeback180 I have noticed that some of the healing debuffs do drop off but not always, I think it depends on which attacks she uses.

[@aduckonquak2139]

2:42 those yoked blows are no joke, 2 and a alf bars just gone when a full combo does just over 1

[@TheMarios327]

Yeah the scythe alone gives a +100% damage to crits. I wasn't even using Trapper PEEP.R + Thor's Pendant which combined would've given an extra 70% damage

[@mrboxhed5214]

this thing is an absolute pain to beat! Good job for actually recording it too!

[@Ne0NDino]

Love to see a fellow Scythe user. I used this and the Tick Macahuitl to win, but DAMN this thing is tough.

[@amber-ants]

I used a mint mace and a minty black widow dagger.

[@brit_476]

From my experience the best way to fight this thing is with a mint mace for first stage and toenail sword with ladybird shield. You really just need to be in a certain corner so bombs can't hit you and be patient since the healing effect slows things down. Trust me when I say this the infected broodmother is easy after a couple trys using this method

[@thearmedbandit]

I really hope they don’t nerf this boss, it seems like so much fun. Like, minus the exploding fungal balls I feel like if a real spider were attacking me it would be at this speed with these erratic movements, really immersive

[@abysslord1479]

For anyone wondering the weapon and armor you can make are an infinite fungal bratburst grenade a new full armor set and a throne/chair. The trinket causes all your summons to cause an explosion when they attack. The mutation cause explosions I think. Also weirdly enough the mosquito rapier worked well when I tried this fight and also use a shield and healbasas

[@Sharpsoda206]

Thanks for the info about the boss weapon! I was so confuse if it's just a acorn turret round or only one use of a bratburst

[@nastyispeak]

nah, summons only have a chance to cause explosions with the trinket. the mutation gives stacking buffs for every explosion you deal.

[@pulseproject1492]

Bro i swear if people tell the devs to nerf this boss IT DESERVES TO BE THIS STRONG

[@IXIBLAZ3IXI]

Making harder 😅😅😅

[@dia7877]

Tbh cant wait for them to atleast add second weakness

[@RoobeeMoonstone]

No it fucking doesn't??? Reviving twice is boring, the first time is fun because you aren't really expecting it the first time around, but the second time it revives is just like "ok can we just rap this up already?" Why does she simultaneously need an attack speed bonus along with reducing the time between her attacks? And to make things just slightly more annoying, her gold card has a 5% chance instead of a 10% chance like the other bosses, and she spawns infected gnats just for the off chance of making you drop your weapon, because the person who designed it hates the players If anything, the final optional boss for story mode deserves to be somewhat comparable to this strength

[@RoobeeMoonstone]

​@vari_aresthere are tons of people who have beaten her on woah mode who say she does not need to be this strong

[@pulseproject1492]

@@RoobeeMoonstone think of it it’s an end game boss you beat everything all the boss fights were easy i parry every hit from the infected broodmother and it got a buff lmao

If they add a dlc and the boss is a tarantula inside an aquarium I would pay for it.

[@vini16f]

Imagine how gigantic the tarantula would be

[@dragonhearted7761]

@@vini16f A goliath birdeater which is the biggest spider can be upto 5.1 inches long and having a leg span of 11 inches. A brood mother in a spiny orb weaver spider which are like 9mm long basically the difference of size is somewhere around 31x bigger. Theyd have to use a pretty small species of tarantula otherwise itd look silly and you wouldnt really be able to fight it

[@dylantyrone9703]

This is crazy bro best boss I can beat is the wasp queen and it takes like 5 minutes so this is a hellish challenge

[@amber-ants]

I have finally beat it tonight and man was it hard even on mild. I mean the first phase was a piece of cake and I only took like 5 hits in the second phase so I was feeling pretty confident about the third phase... man was I wrong. I took me about 6 tries to get it right and when I did it felt amazing. Also if anyone wants to know what build I used it was: fully upgraded koi armour on the sleek path, a mint mace and a spider fang dagger upgraded on the minty path, liquid rage human food and fuzz on the rocks beefy smoothies 30 of each and about 7 aphid roasts. And my mutations where: parry master, meat shield, mithridisom, coop de grass and mantsterious stranger.

I’m a grounded veteran, started playing since the first few months it came out, it has been a fun game, when the doom and shroom update came out with its first boss, the brood mother, I was excited, the boss was creepy and very exciting to fight, after a while we finally got our second real boss, the mantis, fun and exciting but absolutely terrifying too, I love that boss a lot, then cam out with the wasp queen, never gotten a chance to play again because my computer is broken rn, but I have seen the fight and it seems hard but might be fun too, seeing the infected brood mother and how her fighting pattern works……….I am scared to fight it, I’m not even kidding, seeing this thing in action and all scares me, but when I get a chance to I will fight this thing and beat it, even if it means to prepare the best I can……….but actually though I’m scared of this thing just by seeing its fight

[@chrisford7909]

My only suggestion is use black widowling trinket and mom genes and the other summon. She might focus on them long enough for you to heal in get some good hits in...that my only suggestion, or to find some friends to try multiplayer her...

[@CDiinky]

from beating the boss all i know is that its just going to be painful, you need to perfect block everything and during the 2nd, 3rd phase there is no point worring about herself heal all it will do is make your metal towards the fight weaker.

[@nastyispeak]

​@@chrisford7909 no widowling. you need the fungal charm.

[@Atrexiuh]

I'm pretty sure she isn't affected by poison as much so a critical hit build with the scythe and fire ant armor would be good because yiu can stack bleeding and corrosion, like in the video. Other then that I really don't know because I haven't beaten her myself

[@Atrexiuh]

Also since she heals from explosions I would recommend not using Mantsterious Stranger for a distraction since he has an AOE attack that could set off the spores.

I ain’t 🐩’n but I think there should just be two✌️phases bc it’ll still be unique and the third phase doesn’t do anything different from the second phase but make her faster plus watching her get up two times don’t feel right

[@stega2970]

Its great to see a challenge in the game, but I feel like the fight is too focused on having to block. Especially perfectly, with all the debuffs she inflicts and able to heal herself along with three phases I dont think I could ever kill her without a completely different build. I like to play with a very tanky and bruiser like build basically in the face taking hits backing off to heal if I need to and go back into it. Blocking here and there if I can. I beat the wasp queen first try doing this granted she isnt that difficult. However I feel like this fight is a bit to "gimmicky" in that you have to be able to perfect block basically everything.

[@crabcat7719]

I have a feeling most of the game relies on perfect blocks

[@TheKataclism]

You could try sleek ladybug armor + compliance badge. You'll still have to parry, but this set is nearly unkillable

[@TheMarios327]

I mean, perfect blocks are a core mechanic of the game. Also remember the new Shield Solidifier trinket which is really good for regular blocking. But I agree with wanting other types of challenges, I'd love to see a fight that makes you consider spacing more. I think only the Orchid Mantis sort of does this with it's triple slam attack which you can perfect block only 1 of the 3 hits, but it's charge time gives you time to run away

[@amphiptered.5355]

It seemed like the broodmother never had a chance. You practically blocked everything she did.

Normally I'd disagree, this was my 2nd clear so it's pretty sloppy. But they only made questionable buffs last patch and didn't even fix the thick fog issues on phase 3.

Toenail Scimitar (Fresh): I only used it for phase 3 but it works great for the entire fight.
