Let's Play DC Universe Online - Part 87 - Old Gotham's Subway (Instance) Pengbot

[tswdslayer2]

Do you have challeges yet? Talk to Zantana in Hall of Heros. The challege help get challege for renown armor. Also do you have 30 level weapon from Reactor Core...It has more attack power. This is just a good start to get Mark of Tri.

[sambonz]

@tswdslayer2 i've got a couple on Blazepurple, yup =) thanks for the tips!

[dubbsman1]

I'm at lvl 30 and I can't get that cool armor is it because I have to beat this level first?

[sambonz]

@dubbsman1 which armor is that?

[DarkovianLord795]

A little tip for the pengbot that i figured out. (this only happens after you defeat Hush and when you lose at least once to pengbot) When the gate to pengbot is open, go back to the room where hush was at and grab the Heal Barrels and toss then into the fight so you can have more chances to heal.  Hope this helps :)

[sambonz]

@DarkovianLord795 thanks for the tip! i'd love to say i'll give it a try, but i don't think anything could ever convince me to go back in there ;p

[DarkovianLord795]

@sambonz Awww I would help you but I Have a PS3 and I have light powers but with One-Handed. But I would really appreciate it if I saw you try to do it again.

[sambonz]

@DarkovianLord795 perhaps as a special episode one day.. =)

[nellymando]

Blizzard.... Learn from this, this is a heroic boss!

[sambonz]

@nellymando haha i think half of WoW's subs would cancel ;p

[xR1D1xful]

So this is impossible

[sambonz]

@xR1D1xful for most folk, yeh :S tough boss!

[wiiiido]

Jajaja the barriel well heal the one who breaks it, if you break it, it well heal.... but in that case the bot broke so it well heal him intstead of you

[sambonz]

@wiiiido hehe yeh doh! ;p

[wiiiido]

@sambonz btw thanks after seeing your video i finally own him cuz of the porwer you use to heal your self it work pretty good, i can tell you what are you doing wrong and give you all the tips because you use the samething as i do. hand blast and fire but your not useing the rights powers of fire to kill him...

[sambonz]

@wiiiido hehe i'm glad this helped - thanks for the offer but i don't think i'll ever go back in there again! ;p

[Anonyboi]

My favorite mid-boss!

[sambonz]

@Anonyboi arghghg! lol this instance gave me nightmares ;p

[lordhalo1605]

I was able to took more than half of his life, dunno how, lucky, it's a big achievement for a gagdet pistol player lol.

[sambonz]

@lordhalo1605 hehe it's a big achievement for anyone i reckon! =)

[InFluXadVenT333]

lol i just got slaughtered by this guy 3 times so i looked for some tips and found this, made me fuckin laugh hard.at least im not the only one that got brutalized by this bitch :P

[sambonz]

@InFluXadVenT333 hehe yup at least it's some cold comfort that you're not alone ;p

[lordhalo1605]

@InFluXadVenT333 true man, this pengbot totally raped me.... like 10 times in a row, even with soda cola supreme and extreme....

[husermarcio2]

That one is realy a PITS. I gave up trying until I have better armor or power :P

[sambonz]

@husermarcio2 gah yeh it's just ridiculously frustrating. never again! =)

[husermarcio2]

@sambonz whell, I did beat it. Got some tries, but after "mastering" the roll away (pressing shift and hitting movements key crazy as hell) and controling of the little penguin pests, I managed to slowly beat the Pengbot :D

[sambonz]

@husermarcio2 ahaha tuck and roll! ;p grats on finally beating the bugger - you're one better than me! =)

[sesodev]

Whoever coded that boss was a real-life sadistic villain. as healer/martial arts, you have very little chance but to roll, blast, heal, repeat, for about 40 minutes. the level designer seems to HATE melee fighters. oh, plus: there's ALWAYS a cryo behind you. don't hide either, the bastard can heal COMPLETELY.

I eventually beat him, using all my sodas and breaking my equipment. then came the real boss fight with penguin. then i rage quit. hard. almost uninstalled the game.

what a fun boss. NOT!

[sambonz]

@sesodev haha oh man, i was reading your comment and it's exactly how i felt when i came across him for the first time. i've never bothered trying it since - it's just ridiculous!

[EVILSMILELOL]

lol i feel you bro today was my first day facing this bot i spend and hr and half and could not beat it so i just move on and screw it lol

[sambonz]

@EVILSMILELOL hehe yah it's just too difficult to be fun in my opinion =)

[Sjamsjam3]

i already did the penguin on my own

[sambonz]

@Sjamsjam3 very nice! what level to on and what power sets?

[Silverknight16]

You know, concerning these LPs; what do you use to record your voice while playing it? I have Vent, but the sound quality isn't that great, and it tends to pick up a lot of useless noise.

[sambonz]

@Silverknight16 yah i don't use any of the Vent / TS type apps to record, cos they're designed to reduce bandwidth for multiple participant channel talking. i record my commentary live, straight to FRAPS. it's by far one of the best audio renderers on the fly =)

[Silverknight16]

I managed to kill this guy on my Nature DPS staff wielder, but it took an insane amount of kiting while waiting for sodas to recharge while spamming him with my ranged attack. They apparently recently changed him, so he's not QUITE as retarded as he used to be, but my GOD. If he isn't doing that evil whirlwind, he's using a knockdown that KOs you in like two hits. ; ;

This fight is evil. Seriously, seriously evil.

[sambonz]

@Silverknight16 wow - nice work! it'd take a lot for me to go back in there.. >.<

[biostyle]

That Pengubot Maximus is such a hard, motherfucking son of a bitch. He can't be defeated by gadgets / martial arts, it's simply impossible! I'm so angry right now, I could destroy something!

[sambonz]

@biostyle heeh yes i know how you feel - i never bothered going back to be honest! too frustrating =)

[wrecka27]

Ahhh you didn't use the soder cola at the end

[sambonz]

@wrecka27 haha yup - i waited all that time for it to come off cooldown, then do i actually use it? no! ;p

[wrecka27]

My mind works in weird ways

[sambonz]

@wrecka27 ahaha no no, mine works the same ;p i'm always associating words ;p

[wrecka27]

Hardly making a dent, hardly dent, Harvey dent lol

[deipiero10]

I culdn't defeat him but i was always close :(

[sambonz]

@deipiero10 yah he sure is tough :S

[mhans4]

Kill the little ones when they appear. You actually have to destroy one of them near Pengbot and all adds will explode. When Pengbot does the spin attack he has a large skull appear over his head. Immediately roll to the left or right. This attack is in a straight line and if he misses you, use back walk and ranged attacks to fight him from a distance. After he drops below half health he no longer does the spin attack. Immediately after spin-attack hit him hard for about 6 seconds.

[sambonz]

@mhans4 ooh ok - i certainly didn't know any of that. thank you! if i ever get up the nerve to try him again i'll use your strategy =)

[shadow195689]

i bet the pengbot but berly truthfuly idk how i did i gess i just time my healing just right im fire dps i have no tier armor allthough now i have three and i still dnt wana go back and try agen, im afrad beting him was a fluk. but once u get past pengbot penguin him self is hard as hell! i usely use brawling but to bet pengbot i switched to hand blast and that is how i had to bet them both i had to be at a rang. dont get close to penguin at all!!

[sambonz]

@shadow195689 oh gawd - Penguin is even harder?? eek!

[shadow195689]

@sambonz yes very hard mabby if u ever ge the erdg to go back and try agan try staying back as far from the penbot as u can

/watch?v=AeJYdkYrVYg

that guy dose the hole thing mabby u can watch it and mabby get reinspired to try agen

[sambonz]

@shadow195689 hehe thanks - i did try staying back but he just zapped me to pieces with his laser eyes. perhaps one day when i've got lots of Tier gear i'll head back in to re-attempt it =)

[tencents6]

@sambonz SO MUCH HARDER!!!! COMPARED TO HIM, THE PENGBOT MAXIMUS IS LETTING YOU WIN!!!!

[sambonz]

@tencents6 oh gawd that's insane then :S

[sambonz]

@showtime13525 sorry to hear that - but i'm glad it's not just me!

[sambonz]

@Liquidmc420 eep! so even with 2 Tier items it was still rough..? Yikes. I don't think i'll be heading back there any time soon then :S

[Anytus2007]

You're taking hundreds of damage from his 'whirlwind' type attack and almost no damage from anything else. I feel like the key to this battle might be avoiding that attack. Exactly how you're supposed to deal damage to him as a primarily melee character from the range that you will need (because he locks you down if you're within range of the whirlwind) I don't know. In fact, I just counted and in a full whirlwind he hit you 14 times an average of 25 dmg a hit. That's 350 dmg. Pretty rough.

[sambonz]

@Anytus2007 i'll say. watching the red DMG numbers streaming off your toon is just a little bit demotivating lol =)

[sambonz]

@Anytus2007 i thought the same thing, but when you get out of melee range he cranks up his laser-beam-eyes - damn him! =)

[ladyumbra]

I am so glad to be nowhere near ready to take that mission on. I would like to see you do the Mr. Mxyzptlk stuff though you can pick up his quests in the watchtower. Not sure where you pick up his race

[MultiAwesome123]

@ladyumbra You get a quest when you finish the exploration quest.

[sambonz]

@ladyumbra yep it's a nightmare! very rough fight.

[kamdaki]

yea he's a very hard boss...i wouldnt attempt his without a piece of tier gear. I struggled on it too, its even harder for gadget/controllers. my best recommendation would be to do the solo challenges and duos to gear your self.

[sambonz]

@kamdaki i'm thinking the same thing. need some tier gear =)

[ml562]

If the enemy breaks the healing barrel even though you see the effect it doesn't heal you.

This mission seems a lot harder then previous ones although someone said on forums it maybe a bug and your getting hit with to much damage.

Try taking all armour off and logging out and in again and re-equip not sure if it works as I have not been back since the first visit.

I am a healer so had a bit of an advantage but was still hard and hitting lots with lots of stuns too.

[sambonz]

@ml562 heeh yah i noticed that after shooting the episode (healing barrel effect) doh!

[Fatmanralphy]

what you can try for the pengbot maximus is going back to previous rooms and grabbing another health barrel, which are extremely essential if you're doing it solo. you should also try and kill the pengbots first

[sambonz]

@Fatmanralphy yah i thought that also, but sadly the gate shuts during the fight =(
