Mihoyo/Hoyoverse PLEASE, buff or increase the difficulty of The doctor/dottore/Heretic of False moons, for facing a Godly being, he's too easy!

I can't believe i'm saying this as someone who wanted Tartaglia boss fight in 1.1 to be nerfed but the Doctor fight NEEDS a difficulty buff or a change to how the fight is. i ran a team that you use in version 1.0 FIVE YEARS ago and beat the level 80 boss, with zero difficulty anger or retries, yes my FOUR STAR characters are C6 but i shouldn't be relaxed and just strolling around

When Mihoyo showed the teaser for the doctor boss fight, i was the most excited for a boss in ages seeing all the time related mechanics and how he can manipulate the battle, i expected a really tough fight where you would have to learn the attacks and not rush in blind...however this boss is the most chill and forgiving boss of them all. i HATED the Natlan boss with Corrosion ending you in 0.8 seconds and the Chess fight was fine, but required certain teams, and the 1HKO was very frustrating if you simply did the wrong sequence of attacks.

Doctor on the other hand, is one phase...that's it and he barely attacks you, here's how the fight goes

1: run behind pillar to dodge 1HKO

2: deal damage to doctor dodging slow moving lasers

3: jump in void (the game literally tells you to do so)

4 Congrats you are now safe from everything and can heal/eat

5: attack the visages that also can't attack you, each one you beat takes 1/16th of the doctors HP (there's 3)

6: Doctor pulls you out and tell you either not move/face him (will not attack you)

7: back to attacking him

8: voids appear again, hop in!

9: take out the visages

10 : repeat steps 3-8 till he falls.

Can you think of another boss that just lets you heal and recover for free? or one that freezes you and you take ZERO damage? that's what the Doctor fight is, it's disappointing that's what it is, Scara-bot was more challenging that Doctor, and that's 3 years ag, heck i might actually say Singora is more of a challenges due to the hot/cold mechanics.

\--------------------------

I propose some changes to the boss fight to make it more challenging, first of all REALLY utilize the concept of time manipulation in this battle, for the first part where the 1HKO is happening, have our controls reversed, and only have 2 of the pillars be real (one is false or an illusion (see through) since all pillars block the attack, having it so the player goes "oh \*\*\*\* oh \*\*\*\* oh \*\*\*\* it's false!" before trying to run to a real pillar with flipped controls would add more pace to the fight.

Secondly in the phases where he goes "you cannot face me" A: have him teleport around and you have to make sure when he stop moving you are not facing him OR, add multiple clones (a call back to previous doctor) and only one is real, if you look at that one, you get punished

Thirdly in the phase where he goes "be still!" and you can't move have him ACTUALLY freeze you and you have to mash buttons to escape his cage or that character is removed from battle (not Ko'd, actually removed (like in the AQ)

Fourthly, the biggest issue is the "void" and how you can stay there forever, i say add a "ticking clock" you need to destroy the Visages quickly or take heavy damage, having it so a laser is CONSTATLY chasing you and more lasers appear the longer you stay there. stay there too long/don't defeat the Visages in time and they do that Fatui agent attack where all attack at once 1HKOing you before sending you back to the doctor

HOWEVER - in the void your controls are CONSTANTLY reversed, that should add some drama to the situation

Fifth, have it so if you can't defeat the visages and have to escape, whatever visages are left, heal the doctor a certain amount, and if you leave instantly, without defeating any visages, the doctor mocks your weakness, causing you to deal reduced damage from all elements

Just some ideas to make this boss fight actually feel like you are facing a god who can control anything and everything.

How's that sound for everyone, do you think Doctor is just..too easy for the current "final" boss?

Genshin is a casual game aimed at casual players

If you want challenge, Stygian Onslaught is here for that, but that's about it.

AdBroad67622026-01-19 15:26

While he is easy in solo world, in co-op its more chaotic and if your team is missmatch without good synergy - Dottore fight is quite fun.

thwrlsgenshin2026-01-19 15:30

"I ran a team from 1.0 five years old..."

proceed fight with the GOATED secret 6 stars from game 👍🏽

bakedrefriedbeans2026-01-19 15:34

That's not the point and you know it, if people can beat the boss with characters before Dendro and Lunar reactions and power creeping, then that indicates how easy the boss is and BTW no swirl reactions either and me going "random bulls\*\*t go

bakedrefriedbeans2026-01-19 15:36

Also, this video where someone uses Lynette - Xiangling - the traveller and Kaeya...tell me those ae also secret 6 stars please.

Riersa2026-01-19 16:10

Or maybe the so called powercreep is not much to begin with, also this boss have no mechanic that demand lunar reaction so using it doesn't give you advantage.

SoC1752026-01-19 15:32

Doesn't every boss let you heal/recover for free due to time stopping by simply opening inventory?

bakedrefriedbeans2026-01-19 15:39

True but theres often panic when doing so...

convolutionsimp2026-01-19 15:40

I appreciate how straightforward the fight is. No annoying long transitions, no running away from you, no invincibility phases, no big shilling of region mechanics. After how annoying the last few world bosses were without specific teams I'm happy we got something simple again so that I can get my mats and get out quickly. I don't want a 10 minute struggle each time.

krustaykrabunfair2026-01-19 15:43

That POS from natlan takes the cake for me. Just randomly die.

convolutionsimp2026-01-19 15:45

Yup. I took a short break from genshin during natlan for a while so I ended up without many Natlan characters. That boss is hell without Natlan chars, on top of being super annoying for constantly teleporting away from you.

bakedrefriedbeans2026-01-19 15:52

THANK YOU! someone else who hate's his teleporting BS!

corecenite2026-01-19 15:58

just an fyi that you're not the only one who's playing this game. it might be easy for you but there are others who aren't

Pristine-Pop19672026-01-19 16:30

Stygian onslaught dire was made for tryhard gamers. Maybe what is really needed is to include weekly bosses to the SO system so you can have fun with them in dire setting

ahmadalhuraibi2026-01-19 16:36

>beat the level 80 boss,

Stopped reading there, try Level 90.

bakedrefriedbeans2026-01-19 17:05

challenge accepted....it's just more HP sponge but i predict same results I'll post it later

bakedrefriedbeans2026-01-19 17:30

[https://freeimage.host/i/fgGVkxf](https://freeimage.host/i/fgGVkxf) Lvl 90, just before he did the void attack and i beat him there, i even got KO'd but you just hop in the void and heal back

dr3cx1lu52026-01-19 16:38

Those are great suggestions but I would also make it such that he doesn't immediately respawn the rifts after you clear them. This makes it such that you have to learn his actual attacks instead of spending the whole fight in the other realm. Maybe in place of the rift attack he uses his ability to control space in some way to restrict the player, creating a moving zone that slowly tracks the player and damages you while you stand in it.

Some of his normal attacks also just do not target the player, which is something I complained about for scaramouche way back then. Being able to just whack the boss while he is doing some big attack that just misses all the time feels super lame.

Darkfire13782026-01-19 16:39

You are a 1%er.

Most ppl are gonna find it really hard or can't read and will die for not hiding behind pillars.

Anhedonia2022026-01-19 16:51

I wish Hoyo would give players the option to adjust difficulty in story mode, because there is such a big discrepancy in playing experience between accounts at different stages of investment, even at the same AR.

Ag1512026-01-19 21:43

I'm very casual and don't like hard bosses BUT I agree - Dottore just toooooo easy.
I beat him while being with bad connection and high ping and lag because I messed up wi-fi connection (was on 2.4 GHz instead of 5 Ghz) on my ps4.
Idk why they made him so easy, wish it be a bit harder.

issm2026-01-20 00:41

> here's how the fight goes

Nah, after the pillars, just DPS him and face tank/heal through everything else.
