Vobnash Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 What's the strat for this? I tried fighting him first up. Got pwnd. Went back and tried disarming the bombs first. Disarmed the first bomb no worries, then all of a sudden I was outside the cave and the quest had failed o_O How have you guys completed this quest?

MBirkhofer Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I didn't even see that timer at first. I really wish they had a larger timer. A big red flashing, like Metroid counter. That said, 1 shot it. I had kira. Left her on him, and I went onto the adds, killing them first. Them down, I and trooper allies, tore him apart pretty quick.Then, after a few moments, I noticed the timer. haha. I had 3:30 to get them. Did that pretty easy.

MeeeeZ Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Let the boss Trooper tank him for you, that's what I did. Didn't have time problems at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vobnash Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I let the trooper ally tank, although I had to repeat it cause he actually died.. LOL. Anyway, Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StyxzieWaterz Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Doc was being weird for me on that fight and not healing, and I kept getting aggro on ALL the adds and getting pwned. Only quest that gave me trouble. After force camo from the pull things got very easy and I downed him with ~3:30 left on the timer. You only need about 30 secs to kill all the bombs.

zawani Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 The best thing to do for this fight is turn your companion on passive before the fight walk close enough for the fight to start then just kill the adds and let the npc's do all the work on the boss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavien Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Tried last night. Had Doc. No matter who I went for first, Doc got steam rolled. Finally got a guildie to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandeo Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I did it yesterday with Kira. If you have a good medpac probably the specialist you should be good in terms of healing if you need it. Just clear the adds first or they'll eventually mow everyone down with Krannus. After that easy peasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FobManX Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Focus on adds. Use your def. cooldowns early to mitigate damage and Force Camo once you get weak to remove aggro. Once the adds die it's a cakewalk as the NPC Troopers are more then capable of handling Krannus. The key is surviving early. The first time I did this fight I just died instantly as Krannus + all his adds went right to me. But once you survive that initial wave you'll be fine.

Alkic Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Yeah this fight was probably the easiest boss fight I had seen up to that point. All of the trooper support we get is golden here. I'd suggest burning down the adds (easy) then focusing on Krannus. if you do this well enough you'll have around 3-4 minutes to disarm the bombs which is way more than enough.

wolfnorthwind Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 As has been said, burn down the adds then take him out. Keep your companion off him at first, the guy leading your backup is a champion npc and will happily tank him. I had plenty of time left after the fight to deal with the bombs, but I was a couple levels higher than the quest which may have helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hostyle Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Pop camo right at the start and let the npcs fight Krannus while you take down the ads. By the time the adds are down, Krannus is around 60% and very easy to finish off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstralProjection Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Tried last night. Had Doc. No matter who I went for first, Doc got steam rolled. Finally got a guildie to help. The first time I did it Doc did very little and got /asploded. Second time I pulled him back with follow and let the troopers get aggro, then cut down the adds first. By the time I got to the boss the troopers already had him dead. With a standard leap in and get aggro situation for some reason this fight seemed ridiculously hard, but it's actually a joke if you let the NPC's do the work for you.
