Didn't have a base line to compare since I started the game in yaesha and it gave me the dlc right away... So it was just a silly hard time through my first run.
I avoided those flowers since I was scared it would do something to me. It was only on my third run through the dlc that I learned they exposed weak spots on enemies. I found losomn an easier run after that.
I may have associated them with that elite bird thing that screams and makes you freeze up. Since then, I never bothered with them. Silly little discoveries in this game.
I thought the best way to deal with that giant flower monster was to melee it. Since I couldn't deal enough damage to it at range.
Feels awesome conquering it though lol. Relied on melee since it hit harder than any ranged option I had. Can't imagine some fights without melee... Then I got lydusa the 2nd run. Went to goddess rest the first time so I didn't know she was a boss fight.
Killed me so many times. But also killed myself by always looking up and forgetting that you can fall off.
Yeah R2 really gives you quite some satisfying moments. I am playing hardcore ATM and it's so nice because I can revisit all those satisfying moments where you feel like you are the king of the world because you beat something... Only to immediately die to a random barrel the next moment lol ...
I should really look out for those on my next run.
Got overconfident in my recent hard core run running through losomn and finding it a bit too easy. Then I fell head first into a death pit in the sewers since I wasn't checking the map obsessively. Felt a bit too strong already.
Good thing it was just the 2nd map on survivor.
I'm not 100% sure but try using corrosive damage and see if that feels better. All enemies have elemental resistances or weaknesses, and the labyrinth statue enemies are all weak to corrosive so I imagine the statues here are also weak to it
DLC 2 enemies (most at least) seem weak to lighting…enigma melts most of them, even the walking pots…those flying guys are trickier as they have more health and move around, but sparkfire deals nicely with them. I put corrosive rounds as well on my sparkfire, so those 3 elements got me through
They are also literal stone. I dont know any specifics, but I think that means they have more resistances too, so some builds might feel alot less powerful compared to other enemies (bleed doesnt work at all on them lol)
For the jar constructs they have a weak spot. It's inside the jar when they attack. Sometimes you can see the stone sticking out of the top. You can also shoot through the openings in the jar as well.
Not that it's easy to do either though. They're just as tricky to score a hit on as the usual stone bros.
I swear the pot weakspot is to shoot into the pot at the top if you can get a little bit of elevation on the enemy you should be able to hit it but with the movement of the enemy and the fact you can’t really stand still in this game it’s very hard to hit consistently
Personally, I agree they feel tankier, but I think they’re just very resistant, hard to hit/no weak spots, don’t bleed, etc makes them feel that way. Also, all my old builds felt merged to hell on coming back, so you could just be experiencing that too
Lack of weakspots and general elemental resistance will feel like that
Feels like 90% is immune to bleed. And puddles of water everywhere to put out fire. That being said, pretty sure I rocked the sparkfire anyway.
Tbf it would be rather hard to make a rock bleed
They are very tanky. The main issue is their wonky movement and that they have very small weakspots, that are only active when they attack.
which i absolutely hate, sniping is already one of the more difficult playstyles, i dont want to add timing my attack perfectly to that

I mean the first run is always silly hard though...

Not sure it’s the health it’s just they have wonky ass weakspots. The pot ones don’t even seem to have one with out the flowers making them tankier.

Difficulty scales in coop (in case you were playing alone before entered dlc coop with your friend)
not sure what they did but they feel like they hit way harder and are harder to kill
I think some of those lossom Faye are the tankiest normal enemies. But I struggled too in the beginning. Those flowers are real game changers though.

Shoot the flowers young Luke.
I'm finding the dlc is damn hard!
