Lagons hitbox issues

So, yesterday i rolled a new Static Spellblade.

I was rolling into level 50, to get my final specilization and unlock surge to tie my build together. My surge would proc my static, which would proc my 3 lightning blasts which again proc spark charges.
I then went into Lagons fight, and to my dismay, absolutely 0 of my abilities from Surge managed to hit Lagon. I ended up having to just Mana strike him down, for a considerably lower DPS.

However, it made me wonder - what the hell is up with Lagons hitbox, and is it made so with a purpose, or it’s a bug?

Lagons hitbox, as i saw yesterday, is deep within his eyeball, and can be reached with most range abilities, however many abilities just lack the range to touch the hitbox that deep in.

Is this purposefully done by devs to make Lagon even harder, or is it just a janky hitbox thats waiting to get fixed? I constantly hear about people complaining that this and that of their build just can’t reach Lagon, making the fights unneccesarily harder.

Seems like an easy fix is to extend the hitbox to where his face/eye actually is, not literally in the middle of Lagon.

From what I gather, it’s been like that for years, which suggests that they don’t think it’s an issue.

TL;DR Lagon has issues, they have existed since Lagon was added to the game. many years ago, devs are aware but havent done anything about it, most of us are annoyed by it now because its been years but the workarounds used are almost the default way of dealing with Lagon now.

For distance-based procs, the middle of the model’s base is used, which is a long way below the platform. It has ever been thus.

I’ve been stuck on Level 75 mono Lagon, with my 76 Forge Guard… Loving my forge guard, he’s all i want to play lately, but I cant advance further without help. My forge weapons cannot touch Lagon at all so I have virtually zero DPS. The fight is unwinnable. I can see my forge weapons stuck behind his tentacles which close that area of the boss room… Just sharing my own difficulties with Lagon’s hitboxes and other bugs

You can get them to go ahead of you by pressing A ahead of you when you run up the ramp to the ledge.

Not when they get forged during the fight, which has happened to me as well. Many of them still get stuck behind the tentacles.
