Please make it so that the colossus shotgun attack (Retribution?) cannot go around corners
Not sure if this is actually possible or potentially too difficult, but...
When playing shaft miner, I often like to fight megafauna at the hierophant's arena, because it's made of invulnerable terrain. One of the best strategies for fighting the colossus is to lure it to one of the four 2x2 squares in the corner of the arena, and kite it in circles around the square to avoid it's deathbolts. The only problem is, when doing this, it's ohko shotgun deathbolt attack (Retribution?) has a tendency to just fucking ignore the walls and swoop around a corner to hit you anyway. I've died to this more than once, and yes, I am salty about it. Please fix it so that deathbolts cannot clip around corners of invulnerable walls. It could potentially be an issue of the location of where the bolts are spawned from the colossus, but I do not know.

Also it's better to fight the colossus in open areas. I have around 40 or so colossus kills and its much easier on a big plain than in a confined area

Easy fix: make colossus bolts hitting indestructible walls damage the nearest player because this is cheese

The colossus ignoring armor entirely and doing half your health in one bullet hell spread attack is already brokenRohen_Tahir wrote: ↑Sat Nov 05, 2022 12:46 am Easy fix: make colossus bolts hitting indestructible walls damage the nearest player because this is cheese
Being able to redirect the hits with something else is just smart gameplay

Heiro trophy got removed for cheese now people use heiro arena for cheese. Ouroborus.. maybe maybe the bolts cause a small explosion on hitting an indestructible surface

You're the one getting an advantage by using another megafauna's arena, I don't see the problem that the colossus has somewhat of a chance to counter it.
