Got Legendary on the second master board!

Going into last week's patch, I was just going to try out BST, level it and shelve it. I don't really like roguelikes and got really tired of them after so many hours of Slay the Spire and Hades. I'm really surprised I like Crucible as much as I did.

I spent most of yesterday doing trial runs of the second master board for legendary. I came really close about 6-7 hours in, only to not get into the safe spot in time for Gyrocleave - I was like a fraction of a second too late. That didn't deter me though, I went again and hit 20K points to get Legendary. Taking a break for now, but I'm thinking about completing the degree stages.

The hardest boss for me was definitely the Mindflayer boss on the 2nd master board. I probably spent close to 90 minutes just fighting it over and over. There was just so much crap to keep track of. As soon as I mastered one thing (water puddles) I had to master another (Cross AOE after tank buster). I just kept getting caught in stuff and it wasn't clicking until... I just wrote down all the boss mechanics on a doc and kept them up on a second screen. I went over my notes when getting to the boss as a refresher. As soon as I did that, I hit legendary within ~2 hours.

Some things I referenced in real time (IYKYK) :

  • Scale = dragon, Cloud = Dodo (for some reason I always messed this up idk.),
  • Sullen = BEHIND, Ireful = FRONT
  • Dagger behind = knock forward, Dagger chest = knock back

I also made a lot of notes of when to release my 1st/2nd beast as that is crucial for a lot of bosses on the master boards. 1 mistimed release and your legendary run could be over. It can be pretty punishing.

What bosses have given you the most trouble and do you have any tips for Degree 1+?
