Was Gollux even designed to be killed by a mage?
So I've run thru the pain in the A questline to get to Gollux. I'm finally there, running thru the maps without much trouble. Then I get to his right shoulder and that's where the party starts. Even though I'm not standing in the spikes that pop out of the ground, these spikes still manage to kill me in one hit. Then they make you respawn in the same map so you've gotta spam magic guard like crazy to avoid getting killed again. But it doesn't really matter because the spikes will kill you again anyway (although you're miles away from them). Damage wise Gollux shouldn't be a problem for me but this mage unfriendly design makes it way harder than it should be. Straight up racism is what I call it.

What spikes?
I could do it fine on my I/L
for me the spikes take away 50% of health, if u stand between 2 spikes u get double hitted so 1hit ko (at least for me)
i usually go to the spike and take 1 hit and then kill it.
I learned something about that just now--the 1hko on the spikes when fighting the shoulders actually counts as a debilitating status effect before dealing damage, so it consumes a charge on Elemental Adaptation/whatever the Bishop version is. It still deals damage, but less. I take 4k or so; I just tested it.
@dee14, here's your answer to that.
then why dont u just go back out and rebuff?
not that hard
well on my I/L spikes dont 1KO me I guess reasons being is cause i have like 26k hp on mine
however gollux is a cake walk on my mage now, now that i've learned what not to do
The one-hit spikes are only cast after the "trees" fall down, so what you have to do it get up on the trees and keep hitting. The explosions don't reach up to the tree line.
