Does anyone know if the sandstorms aren’t spawning at the right times on purpose or if this is a bug?
After the new changes I’ve noticed that the sandstorms aren’t there for Tytalos’s high burst (old wipe) move. If this sandstorm change it on purpose then it feels like they changed Tytalos’ wipe from something with counterplay if you play around the sandstorms to a game of praying for sandstorms if you don’t have the mobility to get out of it’s massive range

the fight is currently bugged
I can confirm that Tytalos is not bugged
So I went back to do the fight because I’ve seen these posts up all day and every time he used his ultimate ability I stepped into the sandstorms, petrified myself and the fight was completely normal he used his ultimate 4x throughout my fight and everything worked properly.
So I did the fight again after this and instead of petrifying I let Tytalos hit me with his ultimate ability and it hit me for about 95% my hp. Immediately after being hit by his ultimate ability Tytalos will enrage and within the next minute or two he will use his ultimate ability again and there will be no sandstorms to petrify yourself - you need to stagger tytalos before he uses his ultimate ability after enraging and he will go back to normal and summon sandstorms again as usual
Everything working 100% as intended
Wrong. Sometimes the wipe mechanic comes even if NO Sandstorm is spawned. Sorry, but the mechanic is : Go into the sandstorm to NOT wipe …
If there is no sandstorm we CANNOT NOT wipe… So dont say “Mimimi its working as intended” …
This only happens if somebody get’s hit by his ultimate ability, Get hit by his ultimate>boss enrages and will use ultimate without sandstorms on the ground>can prevent this by staggering the boss
I am full broken record mode at this point
It’s already been confirmed that it’s bugged, relax.
I will copy-pasta what i wrote in a similar topic/post:
Okay, so to clarify what happened. This “new” version of tytalos is not bugged! It is something some veteran might remember. The mechanic changed slightly.
-
He 100% got nerfed, because his annihilation skill doesn’t one shot anymore. It does about 90%-95% HP dmg. So if you are full hp OR don’t fuck up the mechanic, he won’t 1 shot you.

This is a mechanic which tytalos should have had right from the start. If his annihilation attack kills anyone, he enrages. He will be surrounded by a sandstorm which deals damage to everyone close to him. While enraged he won’t spawn the 2 petrification sand storms (intended mechanic). You need to deal stagger damage and incapacitate him, otherwise he will do annihilation without sandstorms. If you incapacitate him, he will go back to normal mode and summon sandstorms again.
I didn’t include this mechanic on Maxroll, because i saw that we already got the nerfed mechanic version of him.
TLDR: They nerfed his HP and Annihilation damage but added back his enrage mechanic, which is only a problem if you don’t have enough stagger or don’t use whirlwind bombs.
I question your claims as roxx already said the boss is borked. I have also had fights where no one got hit and he still failed to spawn the sandstorms.
My question for you exactly when is this so called stagger check? I have tried with people with much higher gs and never been able to stop him from casting the second time with no torandoes. There does not seem to be any kind of indication of exactly when you are supposed to stagger so if you can tell me exactly when that would be something I would like to test.
Question away, it’s extremely obvious the boss is surrounded by a massive red aura that will tick for for small amounts of damage just standing next to the boss
I appreciate the screen shot. I have tried during this time as it seem the most obvious. I will try again and get the group to all hit him with WW grenades. It seems to be a pretty tough stagger check then.
Was able to stagger the boss in about 30 seconds without ww grenades personally, but I am playing berserker which has good stagger and as I’m over-geared I’ll have better overwhelm runes, and cooldown reduction etc etc
So wait you are saying the boss stays in that state for 30 seconds? I have only seen him ever go like that for like 3 seconds right before he casts his move.
You mentioned he is enraging because someone got hit. I have done this a few times now and no one gets hit. The boss does not seem to enrage he just doesn’t put up new sandstorms nothing changes other than that though.
Are we supposed to have someone get hit? Also a fellow berserker are you able to actually survive the new 1 hit kill? I am gs 1013 and it one shots me even when I have full health. I am using mayhem though so does that make it so can’t survive it?
Asking because at this point I just would be fine doing it solo if I can understand the new “mechanics”
He will one shot you if you’re in mayhem. And he’ll be in this enraged mode for about 1-2 minutes before using his ultimate again, so you’ve got 1-2 minutes keep in mind if doing this in a 4man party everybody in the group is going to have to use their high stagger abilities/ww grenades - it would be very difficult for one person to carry the stagger check in a 4man. The easiest way to complete this boss is by far to just use the petrify from the sandstorms and avoid this whole stage altogether. The only way for the boss to go into this mode is hitting somebody with his ultimate. As far as I can tell actually the boss only goes into this enraged mode if somebody survives his ultimate, if the ability 1 shots you (because you’re not at full hp or in mayhem) the boss might not enrage

Solution:
Don’t enrage the boss by dieing to his annihilation attack and if he enrages stagger him before his next annihilation?
Sounds easy to me 
It seems like the enrage mode only activates if somebody survives his annihilation attack, so if you do get hit by it in a group it might be better if you just died lol
I’ll figure it out for myself once i get there again with my Alt… my main is past that point so no hurry. 
So this seems to be the borked part then. The 4 attempts I have done no one got hit by annihilation the first time. He never enrages but also never casts a second set of tornados either. So seems like need 1 person to get hit to cause the enrage to be able to stagger. Not sure if I am just bugged or have hit the bug jackpot with my 4 attempts so far…
I did it today alone. When you are alone his version is fine, no bugs. I am so happy i pass this annoying guardian. Next 2 were so easy compare with him.
The fight is bugged. My observations are that the sandstorm stays so long as no one gets hit by the wipe (now 95%) mechanic. With 4 randoms. its very easy for 1 person to miss the petrify from sandstorm. I had to do it solo and confirmed that every time I would get petrified the sandstorm remained afterwards. If I got hit, it went away until he’d port somewhere else or I died and ran back. So if I missed a petrify I had to top off >95%. I was able to finish solo. Still bugged though.
When I was doing it with 4 people, the sandstorm was not spawning when he was enraged. I noticed when I did it solo and got hit then he gets enraged but if I get the debuff every time he tries to wipe he never enrages and sandstorm is always there so I recommend doing it solo as it’s much easier. If you get in the sandstorm every time he tries to wipe everything else is very easy as I just tried it. If he does enrage just keep fighting him and when he switches location he is no longer enraged.
