Fighting the new Bigfoot - Xiyuuna - 2008-10-08
o.O I typically BF with a NL.
Is there like a perfect distance to stand away from BF to hurricane without 50% of my arrows going through it. D:< Or is BF made like that on purpose.

It is made like that, but I don't think it's on purpose. Just nexon being noobs ._.

It happens because Nexon "forgot" some of the hit boxes on some of its frames. In other words, Bigfoot doesn't exist in certain animations. The best way to get the most continuous hits on Bigfoot is to keep your distance and slowly advance as you push him back. If you don't get interrupted by any monsters or MP running out, you can push Bigfoot as far as you want (and get more hits in than usual, too).

This only occurs in some NLC monsters (wolf spiders and elder wraiths have this too). Isn't Masteria created by Nexon America alone? They could use some help on programing.

Yeah, monsters missing hit boxes has only occurred on monsters Nexon America has dealt with. It first happened with Extra D's and Bodyguard B in Showa ("forgot" them while changing Showa around, perhaps?). After that, it's happened solely in several of their Masteria monsters (Wolf Spiders, Firebrands, Elder Wraiths and Bigfoot).
Pretty sad how careless they are. I don't think it'd be too hard to check over your monsters and make sure you included hit boxes in all their different frames.

Finally got my toe after killing Bigfoots for 2 whole levels.
I was so happy when i saw that big toe pop out after the Bigfoot's death. xD
Spoiler
I just wanted to thank Isaac again for his fabulous technique otherwise i would never have gotten my deputy star. xD

Isaac doesn't own the rights to this "technique." Archers were doing it even before Bigfoot was "fixed."

First off, this thread was created to help Bowman kill Bigfoot. Several people, as it's become obvious from this thread, really benefited from this help. Second, no one has tried "claiming rights" to any method for killing Bigfoot on this forum. People are merely thanking Isaac and calling it his method because he was the first to make an actual thread dedicated to it. No one is trying to make this method seem like it BELONGS to Isaac. If you can't understand that, it's probably because your ego got in the way.
Let's review:
Opeth Wrote:Yeah I figured this out a while ago, but it's nice for you to tell others. :3
Remember this post? Yeah, you made it in this thread. WOW, you are SO PRO for figuring this out before it was shared. HOLY CRAP. I'm glad you made this post to make sure we were all VERY AWARE that you figured it out beforehand. Dang. If we hadn't known that...goodness knows what could have happened. THANKS.
It's FANTASTIC you knew of this method before it was posted, but you haven't contributed a SINGLE thing to help anyone else out with Bigfoot. If you're not going to be anything other than an idiot/elitist/troll, don't even bother posting and wasting space in a place meant to help others.

When I had my first successful Bigfoot, I was happy to share how I did it in order to help others.
Detailed description of my first Bigfoot solo, on the day I did it
I made quite a few detailed posts on the first page of this thread, too, to help others experiment with and succeed in killing Bigfoot. That's all this should be about: helping other Bowman.

Oh my. Didn't read the thread did you?
Opeth Wrote:Just an added note from one of my many solos:
Spoiler
I prefer using the right side of the map as there isn't a ridiculous hill-like structure. Also sticking the puppet on the far right and left smaller platforms is safer and easier. Once Bigfoot breaks out of your hold, run to the top and wait to see what it does, then once it goes under one of the smaller platforms AE/AR it and stick puppet right there and he'll never reach it.

Maybe your ego got in the way of your ability to READ. I posted a much easier and safer way to solo Bigfoot. :3 Nice try though...and I'd appreciate it if you stopped flaming me. :[

Well the thanks usually translate to the method being named after him. I know I've been calling it the Isaac method, simply because everyone knows what I'm talking about.
Its like one of Newton's mass laws was credited to Galileo. Sure its not fair, but whenever I think of inertia I think of Galileo and his plantery motion laws.

I solo'd my first Bigfoot today, using the method Mark posted. It took about two hours, 8 deaths and half an apple, but no toe. 
The round-about method was quite useful when I lost control, and at one point Bigfoot and I were chasing each other around the smaller platform for a good minute or two xD

Did they fix BF's (or Elder wraiths/etc) hitbox in the last Patch?

No, all monsters that were missing hitboxes are still missing them.

[COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]I've been wanting to solo a BF for a long time, but schools kept me busy from leveling high enough to actually do it without apples. ><
So my question here is; is it possible for me to solo BF in about an hour?
I'm level 93 and my range is 12xx ~ 21xx (can't remember it exactly).
With one apple and my gelt, do you guys think I could kill it? :\
Also, any tips on soloing it would help me greatly. :][/COLOR]
Fighting the new Bigfoot - Mark - 2008-10-21
There really isn't anything more we can say. Just pick a technique that works for you. It also helps to have a mount to outrun it if you need to.

It's probably possible, but be prepared to take a few hours if you don't plan on appling. I took 2 hrs (lvl 116 Ranger) using Warrior Elixers. I tried an apple, but I died half way through it. What level is your Puppet? The extra seconds of timer really helped out, and even with a sexy 60-second timer, I'm sure I threw out several hundred puppets out there.

Don't take this wrong - I don't mean to pick a fight, but I feel like either I'm misunderstanding what you're referring to or you are getting things a bit mixed up. If you're talking about Newton's first law, it's credited to Newton (at least insofar as it is called Newton's first law) but Galileo definitely discovered it first. He let stuff fall down very smooth inclined planes or something.
Sorry for being off topic. Thank you Isaac for describing that way of killing bigfoot. When I go home and have time I might try it.

No. I used apples for the whole time and it took me slightly less than an hour even at 10x. Probably more like an hour and a half to 2 hours, perhaps even more.

[COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]Thanks guys, I'll stock up on some apples and try to take him down over the weekend.
Hope I don't get ksed, LOL.
Also, I'll be at 0% so I'm not THAT worried about dying. On a side note if I die, does my apple run out? :\[/COLOR]
