Hang in there bro
Beat him last night for the first time ever, on my second try. Decided to go for it again after cooling off for a bit and had insanely good drops (two Legendary Ice Grenades with 30-35% damage reduction each, etc.). Went all in for damage reduction for the first time and I can safely say I'm immediately a convert. Still feel like to continue playing, finding more blueprints, and trying my hand at 1BC and perhaps higher.
A wonderful game that plays unlike anything I've ever played. A heartfelt thank you to the developers!

Nice! Took me 4 tries to kill him the 1st time back in early access.
Damage reduction is great. Comes in even handier on harder difficulties since there are less/no flask refills. I have been on a Survival kick since Tonic and Vampirism give DR and heals, and shields are so good. What Doesn't Kill Me is an S tier mutation once you get the parry heal up to 3% +.
