I’m on my 12th try of empowered Emperor of Corpses and can confirm without a shadow of doubt that the Soul Bomb range indicator is inconsistent. The same spot outside the range indicator will sometimes be fine and sometimes will one shot me.
After 50 tries, here are all the problems I see with the fight:
1) the afore mentioned soul bomb range indicator isn’t accurate. It seems to be wrong when I’m throwing hammers or walking close to the edge. To solve this, I get more than two character lengths away and use rebuke. Additionally, the range indicator seems to change. I have not consistently tested this but Sometimes it seems to be much larger and other times it’s quite small. Also the timing of soul bomb changes. I believe the timing being different is purposeful but not sure if the range is as well.
2) the breathe attack. Sometimes the EoC can be moved around by the player character sometimes not. When using smite to teleport behind him, it can move him in such a way that the character ends up under EoC and going into the breath hit box. Also the hitbox under EoC belly, is not consistent. Sometimes you can hide under his belly, sometimes it kills you.
3) the fact that the player character can move EoC a giant undead dragon around the map is kind of silly. It would just be overall more convincing that the player character cannot easily just push EoC around the map like a cardboard box.
4) Sometimes the outer ring necrotic damage does not go away after a fight so that when you spawn in, you spawn directly into an active outer ring.
5) I was able to glitch the fight in my favor twice out of maybe 60 ish attempts. At the moment of my death from soul bomb. If I aggressive mash potion and health rejuv skills, the death summary will briefly pop up but then disappear and the fight will continue.
Edit: making this a post about the problems with EoC after 50 attempts on 110 empowered and dying to all kinds of funky hitbox situations as well as the fight being hard.
Edit2: added more bugs. Also finally downed him after learning how to handle the bugs.
