T12 Mephisto loot not better then Lesser Lair Bosses

Is Mephisto now considered a lesser lair boss? :honeybee:cause the loot is not better than from the lesser Lair Bosses. :see_no_evil_monkey:

Every googolplex run there might by a new mythic unique but overall very trashy drops :see_no_evil_monkey:

What your T12 Meph Drop experience honorable adventurers?

I was hoping his loot got upgraded. I killed him several times last season and quickly realized I’m wasting my time.

Has Mephs loot already been upgraded or only the Curropted Reapers loot?
I know that the drops from Mythic UC Tribs will be adjusted next week.

I have to investigate this :man_detective: :magnifying_glass_tilted_left:

:see_no_evil_monkey:

Thats the only thing i found yet:

Mephistos Loot is not mentioned… and the fight is a bit longer than the Reapers fight…

For the max loot experience next week i recommend waiting for the patch and:

  • dont open reknown caches. There will be a Superior Key inside.
  • do not run Mythic UC Runs. The loot will be better.

I thought season caches already gives supa keys

No?

No. They just give you a guaranteed Pandeminium Fragment :see_no_evil_monkey:
But i will open one to make sure.
I opened 1 and got 1 Pandemonium Fragment but no Superior Lair Key :see_no_evil_monkey:

Someone should test since this looks like diminishing returns (but not documented).

You got great loot the first time, and maybe second .. but then it got less and less great the more you do it.

I still have 20 Mephisto Keys (SSF). When i do them i will have a look for great drops :see_no_evil_monkey:

Can confirm, Mephisto T12 loot is hot garbo atm. Killed it a few times today, not even sh*ty unique mythics, just random loot, bunch of talismans and sigils, low level stuff. Waste of time.

killed him 5 times yesterday, got 1 mythic and 1 mythic seal

Difficulty wise he is far above any other boss. T10 Mehpisto is on par with a T12 greater lair boss. Loot wise he is hot garbage and he really needs to have a higher mythic seal rare drop.

Blizz doesn’t seem to want Uber Lilith or Mephisto to be farm bosses. Lilith has bad drops too.

Yeah, when I did Lilith last week, other than the spark, I got 1 blue sword and some gold.. I kept hitting ALT on my keyboard cause I’d thought I must’ve missed something.. no, that was it.

You get far more loot from the Season Journey for taking her out, than what she drops.

Mephisto isn’t supposed to be a loot boss. He’s the end boss you test your build against once your done looting.

He should drop a cosmetic or trophy at best.

He does. You get seasonal laurels for both T8 Lilith and T10 Mephisto.

Other than unlocking the achievement theres no reason to fight him again unless youre bored

Yeah he’s a bit disappointing tbh. Not really worth farming unless you want Mythic Seals but tbh they kinda suck. Like REALLY suck.

My hottest take: On T12 Mephisto should guarantee a Mythic. I mean he’s the hardest boss in the entire game and if you’re killing him on T12 then you have a good amount of gear already so it wouldn’t be a problem. And then slightly increase Mythic Seal drop rate from T9-12.

Echo of Lilith was always intended as a [poorly designed] pinnacle fight, a test of skill and gear. Something you were supposed to try when you had basically topped out your character. That’s why you can just waltz in and fight her. It’s honestly weird she drops anything at all.

Mephisto on the other hand is a fourth tier of lair boss that needs a relatively rare key to get into. I wouldn’t expect anything like a guaranteed upgrade but he needs to drop spectacular quality loot every time. A couple 3+ GA legs, a completely random mythic unique, something like that.

Hell, if he even dropped a random horadric gem each time that would be good enough. Cuz even if it’s not one you need you could trade, or break it down to convert to other frags.

t12 = One shot city

With the update, while the cutscenes are gone… his rate of attack transition is quick. Not even 2 seconds after doing his bomb attack, he is hitting me with his kamehameha attack. bruh… and i can’t even see him doing it because he is out of screen.

Exactly this, I got so frustrated with this just trying to kill on on t10 for the season journey a few days ago. It starts instantly after the previous attack, and, like you say, he is usually ā€œsomewhereā€ offscreen when he starts it. I run into it several times just trying to find him and get behind him lol. PLUS the stuff in the air can still fall on you from the previous attack and kill you lol.
