So I'm looking to do a couple boss guides, and I feel I know every boss pretty well with a couple exceptions. The first is the Magnate of the Gong, just because he's so new, so I'm not going to worry about him.
My main question is about Hiram Macias, the Hunter (laser turret enemy) miniboss in area 3. As far as I can tell, there is no way to determine from looks or sound which one is the real one without going through and hitting them one by one. Have any of you seen any sort of indicator?
Before either the eldritch or finisher update, the real one was also standing with a fake one. Meaning you could just look for the platform where two Hunter's were and that was it. In my last run though, that was not the case.
I did get a reply on the steam forum from someone, that the real Hiram is the only one that actually does any damage. That still seems to be the case, however it's a really annoying way to test, considering that all of the fake ones will still hit and still knock you around like you've been hit, so the only way to tell is to watch your health bar like a hawk.
Fun note, the Perk that increases damage for each enemy you kill procs by killing the illusions. Only other side note I can really think about it. Also, if you do the Region 3 Mask area, it does make you immune to Wind so the fight should be even easier.
That's a good idea for the mask, but it's probably not worth it to get in anything but 100%. But good idea about that perk. I'll keep that in mind.
