We accidentally found a way to completely break the first boss in Windrose (Thomas Richards), and yeah… once you see it, you’re probably never fighting him “normally” again unless they patch it. In this video I walk you through the exact door/gate cheese that lets you safely chip the boss down from outside the arena with basically zero risk—if you do it right. Here’s the key: this ONLY works in co-op. You and a buddy go into the arena, and once one of you dies (it was me), the arena stays locked because the other player is still alive inside. When I respawn, I can’t re-enter, but I can still hit through the gate. I have my buddy pull Thomas Richards to the front gate, I smack him through the fence to steal aggro, and then I just rinse-and-repeat a three-hit combo while managing stamina so aggro doesn’t swap back. A couple warnings: he can still tag you through the gate if you’re too close, and his bombs/grenades can reach outside—so don’t get greedy. Use it to get easy loot and potentially farm resets while it’s still in the game.
