Just on my second playthrough and fought all the architects without issue. Bit annoying though because I am on hardcore and want to do an insanity run next but even with level X and the highest mods and armor, I struggle to do any dmage against the architects whereas even the ascendants die easily.
The AI's 'abilities' will scale based on player's level, gear level (I through X) and game difficulty, something that in the trilogy wasn't happening (someone correct me if i'm wrong).
yeah i realise enemies scale, i believe they did on the other games as well. ME1 on insanity was a struggle even with top level SPECTRE gear and armour.
but i am still getting the bug even after the 1.09 patch, where if you die in an architect encounter, allow the game to load an autosave itself, then try and resume killing the architect, it never triggers the leg or head conduits but spawns endless enemies and your bullets/powers do very little damage. i fought for an hour on my very first architect battle and got the same behaviour as others are reporting, presumed it was because i had very little decent gear and they had made them hard to kill.
This worked for me, create a manual save prior to engaging and then if you do die, at least you can try again straightaway. But i have still found it nigh on impossible on hardcore/insanity but don't struggle elsewhere. there is defintely something buggy with architect battles.
Buy some RPGs. Especially useful against the head conduit. 1 or 2 will take it out. Remember to aim as that increases damage.
thx for the tips! i always aim, after 30 yrs gaming, its more habit than anything but I will defo try the RPG trick in my insanity playthrough. Don't think it will cure the glitch if you die though.
You can always buy 1 RPG on EOS but to get a steady supply you must purchase the AVP point that gives access to special inventory. Save up they are very expensive.
