The camera automatically backs up in boss fights to accomodate the size of the boss but you can wheel in (wheel mouse) the camera much closer if you want to. I have even paused the fight and changed the angle (accidentally when the cat stepped on the keyboard).

I think the OP is refering to the "boss cam" mode, where the focus for the camera shifts from the player to midway between the player & the boss. It's not too bad for a melee char if the boss is fairly stationary, but it's bad for everyone on certain bosses like the Mist boss.

Hey there galan. I think this might help a bit. I set my camera this way when fighting bosses.

 

...The challenge is in the camara work. Which reminds me... one last trick I'm doing for the bosses is that I'm setting my Max zoom very low. Almost nullifies the inconvenience of the boss cam.

So you want to zoom out farther, like in your pictures?

 

The the optionsCustom.txt file is the way to go:

 

Here is the guide:Guide to Customizing the Sacred 2 Camera View, OptionsCustom

 

Once you find the location of options.txt (location depends on Windows version)

 

Make this entries into your optionsCustom.txt file

 

camera.cam1_rotx_emax = -1.22
camera.cam1_rotx_max = -0.95
camera.cam1_rotx_min = -0.95
camera.cam1_trackdist_max = 1750
camera.cam1_trackdist_min = 100
camera.dng1_rotx_emax = -1.22
camera.dng1_rotx_max = -0.95
camera.dng1_rotx_min = -0.95
camera.dng1_trackdist_max = 1750
camera.dng1_trackdist_min = 100

 

This will give you a high tree top look down view

Loco, would that change the boss cam?

No, it will actually zoom in a little for bosses. the boss cam can be controlled somewhat with the zoom sliders in options though
