Red Mother Not Dropping Legendaries

I’ve killed her over 1/2 dozen times over several days and not seen a single legendary item. I’m on the “West Side” :wink: of the city under/near the Spawning Pools. Is anyone else seeing this or is my RNG just that bad?

I´ve read people had to do it 50 times, in my last playthrou it needed 15 times to get something, this time i got the throwing axe with my 3rd time. Good luck!

This can happen unfortunately with most bosses, the best thing to do is stick with it and eventually you will get what your after

Thanks guyz for the confirmation.

My first post on the forums was because of her cruel rng. Her bow was the last legendary to drop for me and I was in the ballpark of 50+ kills. I don’t mind her rng it’s more how your thrall gets buggy when the fight her.

Are you hoping to get something specific from her or just farming her as part of a route?

I want her bow and I’ve read about the torch. But yeah, it’s difficult just to get her to aggro my thrall (RHTS). And my thrall is really only good for that. She struggles just to hit mother, I gave my thrall both Croms Sword and the Doom hammer. So she switches between them from time to time, for any fight. It’s interesting to watch.

I’ve died several times… sigh. I’ve been using the Shank daggers to bleed her.

Update: OK, she just dropped the Blade of Seven Winds. And was totally glitched in the stairs.

Update: Make that two in a row… insane. This time I stayed in the flat corruption zone and my thrall’s head was sticking out of the ground.

btw is this the dragon outside the UC or inside? Cos the one outside is to be chopped for food only :smiley: The one inside with the 3 little baby dragons is the good one.

Pick one weapon for your thrall they really can’t handle 2 and it wastes time when they switch. Either of the weapons you mentioned should be sufficient for killing the red mother.

Drop rates for legendary weapons are low so you will just need to keep grinding.

Try taking a bow with you.
Shoot the Red Mothers legs from a safe distance (but close enough that your thrall won’t return to you before he reaches her).
Crippling the Dragon makes it way easier for your thrall to close in and start hitting her.
Once they are fighting, switch to your close combat weapon and join the fun.
If the thrall get’s stuck underground, run away, till he ‘teleports’
Repeat the steps above.
Works for me like a charm.
I stopped my headcount (literally) at 100 and so far died only twice to the Red Mother.

And yes, the drop rate is horribly low.

I farm her with Erii with cromsword while I keep up bleeds and poison with venom infused daggers. Stairs seem to be the best bet

If I could get the thrall stuck to swing away at her I was averaging about 2:30m kill times

I got the bow! So maybe a dozen attempts. Thanks everyone for your help!

I’ve found spears the best thrall weapons against the Mama. When the thrall inevitably get stuck on the ground mesh, a pike lets him still poke upwards and reach the Mama’s belly, whereas shorter weapons can’t reach her hitbox.
