thank you so much for posting this video. if i didn't know about these safe spots during my first playthrough i think i would have quit after another ~20 or so attempts.
words cannot describe the hatred i feel for this boss. i get its supposed to be "difficult", but being PERMA-STUNNED and one-shot is ridiculous. being one-shot is fine if you are given a chance to actually move, but with this boss, it feels like the designers behind it just wanted to cause as much suffering as possible.
i don't think i've ever had less fun playing a video game ever than this boss fight.
again, thank you for saving my experience with last epoch.
I agree this fight is just garbage.
Glad it helped. Lots of people don't enjoy this boss but there's a lot of enjoyable content outside of it!
@@MinMaxRPG The cheese spot on the left side helped immensely.
Agreed, this is too much of a difficulty curve. I'm taking a couple days off from the game because this frustrated me so much after waltzing through the previous content. Not fun :(
Oh and don't forget having to run two maps and refight the architect again if you log out between attempts.
Thanks for the video. The clockwise/counterclockwise rotation during the wave phase got me past Lagon!
Glad it helped!
Very helpful because you slow down and show the mechanics clearly. Most guides say stuff like "I can just tank it" and thus don't show the mechanics. I wish you would do one for the temporal sanctum boss fight, as that's the other fight with lots of one-shot mechanics that most other guides don't do well.
Thanks! All this information is spot on and worked great. I was able to stay in one corner, port when the circle appeared and go back to the spot/repeat. The rotation in phase 2 was spot on.
Glad it helped!
Thanks! This really helped a lot. I just don't have the survivability or damage to go up against him. But just standing in the safe spot there and attacking from range really helped. I could at least finish him through campaign now
That's awesome to hear, congrats and enjoy the rest of the story and end game once you reach it!
Thanks for the video. That safe spot and running in circles made all the difference 👍
Great to hear it helped!
Full minion build is proving difficult for this guy. I’ve deleted the screen the whole game as fire necro but my minions are dying for the first time and my cast speed is slow, I almost stun myself to cast one back.
If you stand on the stairs to one side, that might leave room to dodge towards the other side of each individual staircase. Then you can summon minions at the tentacles as they go down.
Game is easy mode until this point. Bad design choice.
How is it bad? Maybe just too difficult suddenly. Once you get it, it gets more fun and respectable. Took me like 15 tries but finally some depth and a memorable event. Guess it depends on your build, but I had 2 defense as a Mage (teleport & flame ward) so it just felt like timing vs "luck" for some?
thank you. very helpful. if you are a necromancer, you can summon golem a little bit in the middle of the platform so it tank the aoe while the rest minion hide and dps in the safe spot.
You're welcome. Thanks for sharing the tip for everyone as well!
I was pulling my hair out trying to kill this beast until I found this video. The safe spot was a game changer! Thank you so much!
You're welcome, glad it helps!
Died very first time. Watched this video and defeated Lagon without breaking a sweat as a Warlock. Thank you!!!
You're welcome, glad it helped!
Thx man, died more than 10 times, obliterated him on first try after your video 🙂
Grats, glad it helped!
i literally just stood on safe spot and ranged DPSed him from there, the only ability to dodge there is by dodgin big circle on the ground. Also if you ran straight to spot from p2 to p3 you will bug waves in p3
Didn't know about the bug, thanks for sharing that for everyone.
You can also move all the way back to the tentacles that block the play-space to avoid the eye beam attack.
Thanks for sharing!
@@MinMaxRPGThanks for the upload :) I was about to give up and stop playing for awhile.
Thanks a mill for the video. At first I thought he's impossible to beat, lol! But after watching your video it only took 1 try
Glad I could help!
He oneshots my 21 minions and then does some cold breath that oneshots me. Very nice.
Thank you! I am new player, i am playing as DRUID as well and i killed Lagon fast with your video.
Glad to hear it helped!
Was struggling with the beam in the third phase cos it goes all the way into the upper corner unlike phase 1. Safe spot solved the problem.
Great to hear!
I play Necro and hat 16 Minions & 6 Ghosts at this time. And Minions just did the job. I did'nt even noticed there is a 3rd phase mechanic with the waves.
My position was also on the left side of the stairs. Just spam ghosts and win. In the 2nd phase you can also stay at the stairs - there are almost no waves.
Nice, people seem to have mixed results with minions. Some cakewalk it and others have a lot of difficulty. Glad to hear it was easy for you.
i feel like the people commenting skill gap are the ones that picked the right class as first class because i had a breeze with 2-3 chracters with this boss but now that i am leveling a niche build character in solo self found that flies through the campaign i have fought this boss now over 80 times and i just keep getting either stuck in terrain or one shot even though im resist capped with 1k health
It's very interesting how certain builds cake walk this boss and others can really struggle. Hopefully you get it in the next few tries!
Thank you for this. Died too many times before watching this and after it only took me 2 tries to complete 😎
Glad it helped!
If you run in and out real quick, it’ll put you behind the big tentacle barrier, nothing will hit you aside the big white circle
Appreciate you sharing that tip for everyone!
Thank you! Subbed right after defeating this goon of a boss.
Thanks for the sub and glad I could help!
30 tries later (lost count) and i beat him. only got to the wave phase like 3 times and beat him on the first time getting to the last phase. thanks for the help
You're welcome, congrats!
Nice guide, I knew there was safe spots but didn't want to die trying them.
Glad you liked it. Also great to hear some people actually learning and doing the mechanics!
thank you for the safespot. i was getting obliterated at the monolith version with capped res
Glad it helped!
Thanks for the video. The game honestly does a terrible job preparing the player for this fight. Everything up until now has been coma-inducingly easy, and then there's this boss that has one-shots that are easily covered up by minions or other spell effects, on top of trapping your minions behind the big tentacles at the start of the fight if you didn't walk up the stairs in just the right way, forcing you to re-summon mid-fight. Playing Necromancer for this fight makes things way harder, especially if you aren't running Transplant for movement.
You're welcome. I agree with everything you're saying and was a big reason why I made the video. I feel that prior to this boss things are so lackadaisical this just slaps you in the face. That leaves many players left scratching their head trying to figure out what to do.
well thanks for this i almost give up, the corner trick is the GOAT
Glad it helped and enjoy the rest of the story!
I just face tanked all the attacks with my paladin and it did the trick luckily. I’m guessing when I start a new character I won’t get by so easily.
Paladin/Sentinel is very tanky so face tanking will work here and on some other bosses as that class. However, other classes might need a bit more strategy.
For me, the tidal waves in phase 2 are either completely or partially invisible. This basically makes it impossible to survive, as they almost 1 shot. Does anyone else have this issue? I get no results when i google it
I haven't heard of that issue before. There was a ton of lag issues with that boss for certain players at one point but I'm not sure of the root cause.
I had to level up to 70 to beat the dude and maxed my health, dodge, defense and magical resistances. The waves wipe me out lol.
It can be really brutal on certain builds and super easy on others. Glad to hear you got through it after all!
@@MinMaxRPG Yeah. My mouse sucks and I got I hit often, after maxing my flinch and dodge, it takes 2 shots to kill me. After 3 tries after levelling up I was finally able to beat him.
I died less against the final Dark Souls III boss, to be honest this boss is unfair but I will try the safe spot for cheese. thanks for sharing with unskilled and don't-know-how-to-upgrade-my-gear people :D
Haha, hope it helps!
you showed the safe spot from the left side. Whats the safe spot on the right side? I died on hardcore because the beam came in my direction and I had nowhere to hide
Thanks so much! safe spot with minion necromancer = ez game
till the explosion comes and you are not maxed out on lightning/cold damage and realize ward is actually good xD
You're welcome, glad it helped!
Thank you man, this video made this fight trivial to me. Good job and thanks for helping out noobs like me, keep it up!
Congrats, glad I could help!
lol I got REKT a few times and quickly realized OH I guess I should have stacked some resists into my build. Swapped some idols around and managed to get him down but it was a wake up call. Good fight tho, its what I wish Diablo 2 had but can't expect an overhaul to bosses w/ a remake.
That's basically what the fight is. A wake-up call from what previously didn't seem to matter much in terms of resistance or mechanics.
Wait, should we be referring to which Lagon?? There's one in the Monoliths too
This will work for both.
@@MinMaxRPG Regardless, Monolith's took me like 15 tries! Fulfilling once you understand it like a perfected dance.
Worst designed boss ever
Hope you got through it after the video!
I don't think lagon is a bad boss, the game kinda let's you upgrade as you play with no test to how strong you have become. Having a boss that let's you test your progress up to this point and allows you to see where you need to improve is nice, especially sense up to this point was no challenge. My fault for playing normal mode.
I had this boss at 2%...pressed T and missclicked the town portal - Please just fix this.
@@clanclip move your TP to somewhere else?
Curious why a bad design? Found it fulfilling once you understand it all as everything can be predicted & timed, but after a dozen tries. More of a hand/eye coordination skill vs character stat check is why?
Nice guide, but having played this game for a while I still feel like he is obnoxious, especially in empowered monoliths when he kills your necro pets super easy. He needs to drop a ton of good loot to make it more worth it, it feels okay if you're having a long fight during the campaign, but during monoliths when you're just trying to go zoom zoom, he is annoying, haha.
Also, annoying that his blessings are fairly sought after for so many builds. Feels like I'm always stuck farming this monolith and thus him because of that.
@@MinMaxRPG Haha, absoutely.. well I am trying to find a build that is Lagon-proof, and am thinking of shaman, I think everyone and their grandma is going to be playing a warlock or falconer so I want to try something different.. any experience with shaman? Maybe going thorn totems or the new lightning skill!
the fight is terribly designed like most fights in the game. most boss fights are just "dodge big circle or die" extremely boring
great tips. i didnt know about the safe spot. playing a rune mage and getting my ass handed to me
Glad it helps!
Excellent video - it really helped me. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Can we do endgame without this? It sets a false sense of security till this boss, never had an issue. Wasn't looking for another poe. Took so long to get to him as well
Yes, you can do endgame without killing this boss. However, he is one of the monolith bosses as well (level 75), but you'll likely be far better prepared at that point. It's a popular strategy to run the story until this part and move to monoliths only to return when you can basically speed run the remainder.
I'll admit the sheer amount of rage I felt when fighting this god... was not my best moment. I had been relatively plowing through the game. Had a few moments of carelessness, but otherwise made it out after a single try. This one however... try after try, I failed. Still haven't succeeded, but definitely gonna give this a whirl and see how it goes!
does anyone else have issues in this fight fps wise? it drops my fps to like 5 its so stupid
I have heard this from several people. Unsure what the cause is but it's prevented some people from progressing beyond it atm. It's not a great solution but you can at least go into the monoliths at that point to continue leveling and playing.
@@MinMaxRPG didn't want to attempt monoliths cuz I heard you can lose the rewards if you die but I guess I got no other choice, kinda happy I'm not the only one tho.
Have a great day, I'll be sure to return here if they ever address and fix the issue.
With my ranged characters I was able to stay in the safe spot the entire time.
Just here to see the way how the others dealt with him.
I just slapped a thread generating golem at the corner and watched my skeletons poison him to death.
Haha, poor golem getting slapped by the tentacle over and over.
Level 50 and Just can’t beat him (50 attempts :( )since I never capped my resistances during the campaign. Didn’t think I’d have to until after storyline. I’m around 30-50% on resistances and just getting annihilated.
Question , Is there a way to progress to work on my resistances without beating him ? When I goto end of time there isn’t anywhere I can go that I can see ?
End of Time to begin the monoliths is the way to go if you're hard stuck. To the far right there is a broken pathway that will form when you get near. There's also a couple npc's by it that you should be able to talk with as well. That will allow you to farm some echoes to gear up and level before you go back to face him again.
@@MinMaxRPGthanks , I found it . Just ran a few maps and got capped on cold and then crafted for lighting res. Thanks for the help!
I died on him in hardcore :( I lost my 56lv necro.
Thanks for video, next time will be mine.
Sorry to hear. Good luck next time!
Thanks!!!
You bet!
3rd try killed him, didnt notice the NUKE in the middle for the first 2 runs :D
That's great, awesome job!
This helped. Thanks.😊
Glad it helped!
Did you release a 0.9 Beta video a month AFTER 1.0 ... ?
Nope, but you're posting on a video from a previous patch btw.
Thank you got it 3rd try.
Nice job!
My main problem are disconnects... currently i´m at 31... when porting in or at the phase changes wich makes me have to do all three zones before him again ...
Oh, that's awful. Haven't heard about that being an issue on him.
@RPG 44th attempt was successfull thx to your safespot tip i was able to brute force him before a disconect at an off peak hour.
спасибо тебе добры человек,достал этот босс кривой
omg i love you :D been trying this shit for 30mins as a marksman but there is just too many things to avoid
Glad it helped!
Lagon was so much of a pain for my first couple of characters that I'd cheese him by getting back onto the stairs before he blocked me in (this is patched out in 1.0 I think). Then I finally realized how great Lagon actually is for the overall game progression. He's essentially a build power check. If there's a weakness in my build, be it from gear, skills, passives, resistances, or playstyle, Lagon with show me.
Absolutely, I've had some builds I really liked that I revamped after beating him. Really shows weaknesses like low single target damage or survival. The druid used in this video beats him in about 5.5 minutes and I rearranged passives afterwards and had a much better build imo.
LOL if you went shadow dagger, and die...the daggers that are spawned can kill lagoon for you, i legit "Alt-Tab"ed after i died mid encounter to watch a guide, tabbed back and boom, lagoon is dead lol
Haha, minions can do the same thing.
I came here cuz I’m stuck 😂 I Will têt the safe spot
Good luck!
I watched , i tried , i got one shoted
Wait, we can farm monoliths for gear before he dies lol, i didnt even know that. Ugh lololol
Ya, if your build isn't great for him or you feel underprepared in terms of resists head to the monoliths for a bit and then come back.
This man on lagon with 1100 health. I have 580. lol
That's a really tanky Druid build, sorry. I actually showed it just to prove by doing the mechanics even low damage builds can beat Lagon around level ~50.
@MinMaxRPG 100. Wasn't being snarky. Your video helped me a lot. I had to come back with some better resistances but the health actually wasn't an issue once I got the dance.
Emperor of Corpse hacks please....
I'll likely cover all of the endgame bosses when possible. I started with Lagon simply due to the trouble a lot of players face when progressing the story.
fuck this is gonna be a hard battle
You'll get it. Like I mentioned in the video once the fight "clicks" it's easy.
The game was a blast of fun until i got to this boss. I lost 2 HC character bc of his bs. One shot mechanics in 2024 smh.
Oof, sorry to hear.
Great video. Absolutely loving the game, but this boss is straight trash.
Glad you enjoyed the video! You are far from the only one who thinks that about the boss but lots of game to enjoy now that you're beyond it.
Hated this boss!
You aren't alone!
Jumping from hours of easy content to out of nowhere super difficult boss is TERRIBLE game design.
There are so many of these comments. Pretty crazy it remained this way through beta and into release.
Once you get the whole dance, you kinda respect it and find it fulfulling when you dodge everything. I dunno about terrible design if it's telegraphed, but this boss just keeps you on your toes the whole time which requires a whole new level of hand/eye coordination skills. It reminded me of Megaman back when I was a kid.
its sad they made him so hard
It's just such a drastic change from anything prior in the game. Really a turn off for many players.
This game was good but this boss is garbage shoulda just been like rest bosses all you do is dodge the whole time sucks so bad
Yea, there's a couple bosses in the endgame that don't fit the mold and can be really miserable depending on your build.
This boss fucking sucks
Terrible boss fight from an overall terrible game.
?? It’s it difficult that you required a safe spot ? Buahahahah
Haha.
for those who think it's a skill issue. Game is pure garbage with dynamic dps scailing on bosses. As more damage you have, as more boss will one shot you.
