Another nerf thread. Do you want the boss fight to be a cake walk? Why? I'm not going to suggest strategy, do this, or that or the other thing. What I will suggest is that Yagluth is very beatable--if what you're doing isn't working then alter your approach. Adapt. Don't cry for a nerf as a reaction, that's weak sauce. He's the 5th boss, he'll be a little harder but he's not impossible. You may need a different approach/mindset to overcome the challenge. Not trying to insult or put you down, I'm just saying demanding a nerf rather than exploring your options is not how you overcome challenges in hard survival games. Yeah, it's Early Access so there could be more tweaks here and there, but Yagluth has been around for quite some time and he's been beaten solo plenty of times--it's doable. I'd also suggest if you can't get past Yagluth, you're really going to have a hard time in the Mistlands. So please, think outside the box a little, use what's available (items and surroundings) and have patience during the battle. If one approach doesn't work, then alter the strategy a bit until you find a way that works for you. It's too easy to give up and blame the game. This is just my opinion but there are so many *NERF!* threads that it's almost a meme at this point.
I think we should just remove all these nerf threads entirely. If you struggle with content frame it as a question with an appropriate amount of humility.
'I struggle with boss X, what tips & tricks do you have for me?'
'Mistlands is really hard, how do you deal with the reduced visibility?'
'Trolls keep wrecking my base, what is the most effective way to keep them out?'
That is the way you phrase your questions as a novice. We don't need these nerf rants because you are salty you died a few times. That should be the bottom line.
