So. I know Bosses in BDO and while its older engine where the ''Action'' part of the ''Action Combat'' is more ''Animation and Illusion of Combat'' its still has some Telegraphing and mechanics you can understand to beat the encounter. I am talking pure PvE here since PvP there's alot of factors that may affect the whole experience positively or negatively. Supposedly this shouldn't be an issue in PvE.

However i am trying to understand what's going wrong here. Although i can time my actions and look for indicators there are some of these one shot mechanics in Boss Blitz you can't even look out for. They happen totally unpredictable. Less than a second and as such you can't tell because there is no indication so no Q Block or I-frame or Forward Guard is going to help.

2 Bosses had this issue. The AoE of Golden Pig King and Songakhsi, didnt try the others except the ones from the story before that.

They even tore through my Q Block and there was no indication whatsoever to time any form of evasive/ defensive action.

I feel lost... Where's the Telegraphing for those attacks?

Is it like Thunder Kutum where you just ''RNG Landed'' at the wrong second at the wrong position where it just so happened for a red circle to appear?

Overall Dungeon Crawling and Boss encounter games are my thing and i am playing such games for 2 decades... But this leaves me feeling stupid.

Any data is highly appreciated. And stop downvoting for no reason its annoying.

Since I did C6 Pig (can't do C7 cause, I run out of time around 20%-30% even with buffs as awakening wizard), think I may help with that.

I assume you mean the aoe during the sun aura phase. Stay inside the bubble, and just dodge (PvE iframe), if you get the rhythm right, you don't need a lot of stamina, eventually, he'll show up and do the one shot. Either you count how many of those pulses there are until he shows up to iframe, or you "V" (escape ability). That's how you go at it.

There are no other one shots, apart from the timeout (at 10 minutes, all bosses will do a one shot, you've ran out of time, it's basically a rage timer, and you get killed, tecnically, you can survive it, but the boss will just spam them, at least from my experience with Bari (one of the bosses I survived 3-4 one shots using iframes).
