Is Moder boss AI bugged?

I just did her for the first time and it was a very easy battle. Almost too easy. Granted I did use the pillar cheese that I learned from a video and it was super helpful using while she was airborne shooting the ice (except 1 time I nearly died) but half or more of the time she landed in a spot farther away from me and just stared at me, growling a couple times, taking the arrow shots and then go airborne again. Is this how the fight is supposed to be?

I fought her for the first time in H&H a couple of nights ago. She mainly just sat there while I pelted her face with arrows. She only flew around a couple of times then sat back down in the open so I could shoot her some more. Not a very satisfying fight.

I had tons of potions, 3 bows, 400 poison arrows, etc. A little over prepared for her to just sit there. She was never a tough fight, but it used to be more challenging. I only had to dodge twice this time. I don't know if they nerfed her on purpose or if she's just glitched. Either way, it was more tedious than fun.

Hopefully they fix her.

You used cheese and now you think the battle was too easy? well there seems to be a very simple sollution at hand right? ^^

Pathfinding on the Moder is not good, Mountain=pathfinding = Weirdos

For the airborne phase, yeah I did. And to be honest i'm glad I did.
My question was, regarding the melee/land phase, and if it was normal that during the whole battle she only attempted to come closer and attempt melee or frost breath only twice whilst the rest of the battle just staring at me. That shouldn't be right?

Yeah I guess so.

Its not very hard to just dodge icicles without cheese.

This happened to me too.

The day before the boss fight, I chopped down all the trees surrounding the boss spawner. Next day I get all my arrows and buffs ready and go to the fight. First half was normal, dodge ice sprays, go in with melee when it lands, killed a couple drakes. When boss got to like 33% HP, she landed on the edge of a slope and just sat there while I continually sent arrows to her face. She'd circle around a few times and then repeat. Very strange.

Honestly Bonemass with HP regen now is a harder fight. I first fought him back in April and was able to cheese the fight by making a treehouse next to the boss spawner and just use like 400 ice arrows. Now playing a new game tried this strat again and took him down to half HP before I realized I was doing negative damage with arrows. Had to drop down and smash him to death with an iron mace.

How and where you Moder alter spawns can play a role in her pathing ability.

she gets stuck on things easily and it can make her a easy fight if it happens frequently.
