Level 200 Beast in the Ice player debuff stacks not clearing upon death AND only 4 lives = dungeon failed

As the titles says, when fighting level 200 Beast in the Ice, if you acquire the debuff stacks that increase damage taken and then wipe/die, they often (maybe every time?) do NOT reset/clear when reviving. I think the only way to clear them is to go to town and repair your equipment. However, on two occasions I didn’t notice this, so went into the fight both times with multiple stacks (I think on the 2nd time I had 8 stacks lol) and got instantly one-shot.

And to make matters worse, because Beast in the Ice is a nightmare dungeon, you only get 4 lives… This is kind of crap for a tougher boss where you might still be learning mechanics a bit and need a few tries. It’s not a great feeling to get “dungeon failed” and your materials wasted as a result.

I know Beast in the Ice was mentioned recently on a live stream because many don’t like that it’s a nightmare dungeon and how far you have to run to get to the boss encounter. But yeah please just move Beast in the Ice to a normal encounter, just like the other bosses. Until then, can we please get the “4 lives” removed as a quicker hotfix?

you’re lucky, for me it didnt reset even between 2 different keys. so rip 50~ boss mats and 4 stygian

ive wasted 4 stygian so far
if u dont one shot him he is impossible

also my grandfather 25% masterwork glitched. lots of bugs still need fixing, at least the game is way better now due to not messing with so much garbage loot and aspects

Luckily they are fixing the issue where the debuff stacks persist after dying/reset in 1.4.1. Still only get 5 attempts before failing the dungeon though.

I’m going to just go on the normal level 85 version and spend some time learning the mechanics & coming up with a strategy there, where I can take as long as I want, rather than the tormented version where there’s a limit to how many resets you get.

Hi i wasted 4 tormented ice summons before i understood
this boss is actually doable
To clear your stacks you must enter boss room and go out immediatly, this way your stack count changes every time
Example for me it was 5=>10=>4=>9=>3=>8=>2=>7=>1=>6=>0 then i did go to fight boss

it requires time but the boss is doable
