The Rotting Hoard hitbox and animation

I’m sure this is a common topic, but what’s the deal with the Rotting Hoard? Half the time I die before the actual flames come out, the other half the time I’m standing inside the boss where it apperars I won’t get hit with the flames, but then I do. And when I say half, I mean half the time it works as I expect, and half the time I die unexpectedly.

I’ve beaten this boss on regular and empowered at least a dozen times, but compared to the other bosses this one just outright feels cheap. I"m all about having telegraphed attacks, but if we’re literally behind the flames or still walking away before they spew out that’s a problem.

Long story short, I know how to play the boss but it feels like a crapshoot if I’m actually going to get hit or not. That feels bad. I don’t think it’s a ‘bug’ per se, more like something with the hitboxes all around the boss and the animations that are unclear to the player.

Thanks,

Can’t say I’ve ever noticed either of those, though being “inside” the boss is likely an issue with the damage area stretching back inappropriately. @KissingAiur
