This guy, what a great boss. Honestly the run back was more annoying than the boss itself

>>720005239 (OP)
How?

>>720005239 (OP)
do i suck or is this game orders of magnitude harder than the previous one
i remember bosses kicking my ass but not to this extend, that fucking clawed plant guy is a fucking damage sponge, wouldn't be such a fucking problem to deal with if it didn't summon minions with I-frames
what's the fucking point of having 5HP almost every enemy takes 2HP when they hit you?

I got ultra tilted not because of the boss but because the nearest bench is 56 floors down.

>>720005239 (OP)
Haven’t even seen this faggot yet. Been slamming my head against Moorwing for an hour and took a break for the night.

>>720006142
>do i suck or is this game orders of magnitude harder than the previous one
that's basically all anyone's been saying since release

>>720006230
THIS
FUCKING THIS
EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!
would it have fucking killed them to place a fucking bench NEAR THE FUCKING BOSS ROOM?!?!?!
>inb4 git gud
eat shit nigger, i'll be more than happy to keep bashing my head against the brick wall of a damage sponge boss that kills me in 2 hits if only i didn't have to drag my fucking ass across half the biome from the nearest save point!

>>720006142
Turns out every boss dealing two masks of damage as opposed to a selected few like the first game significantly increases difficulty,

>>720006540
Not even close to as bad as the runback to the Last Judge

>>720006142
It's ball-bustingly hard and unforgiving
Bear in mind this is your (and everyone else's) second day playing, can't expect t be able to go hitless right away

Savage Beastfly but I spawn as the superior Hornet and drop a 2000 lbs JDAM on his stupid fucking face

>>720006428
i missed the release threads because i was busy playing and sucking ass
i got mogged so hard across the whole map no matter where i went that i yield to temptation and googled where the fuck i could upgrade my nail...
turns out i just had to beat a couple of damage sponge bosses to get a damage boost
and it scares because i'm very sure i haven't even reached this game equivalent of the Mantis Lords or the Soul Master

>>720006810
You'd do well to get to the far right of Greymoor. The spell you get there is basically going to be your goto for every boss where you can exploit their downtime. Remember to mash the spell button while it's being cast for it to last longer and do more damage.

>>720005239 (OP)
He's filtering me rn

>>720005239 (OP)
Filtered me when I saw the crest he gave me for all the bullshit

>>720007062
Come back after you have the first damage upgrade, the fight becomes much easier once you're able to one shot the small flying niggas (people harp about the large slashing dudes but these are re real danger)

>>720006142
The game is a bit more difficult, and it's further made harder because Hornet plays a bit differently from Knight even with the designated HK crest. I think she even floats slower, which is what really throws things off. It's one of those cases where it's similar but not similar enough.

>>720006696
i'm not expecting to go hitless on my first run but i didn't expect NES level difficulty
i cannot play this game at night, the bosses make me yell curses every time they kill me and my angry screams wake everyone up

>>720005339
i'm one of the fags who got killed by the death explosion at full hp..

>>720007001
Wait really? I haven't been using it because I found it too hard to position for compared to the throw attack, is it that much better?

>>720007001
i specifically avoided that fucking bird house because it was one of the first filters i encountered
when to the other side instead and only managed to beat the big bird cus Don Quijote helped me

wait, poison ALWAYS applies to weapons? this shit is fucking broken lmfao. I thought that it was a consumable

>>720007487
Beat second stage of widow by hugging the corner and lobbing poisoned knives at her. OP strat

>>720005339
The run back was the highlight of that section honestly.
But those worms are fucking loud holy shit.

>>720007412
It's also better vs multiple flying enemies

>>720007258
Hmm I still think I can do it, the boomerangs hit his fat ass like 5 times when he's standing still. I will do that when I get tired of trying tho, thanks.

>>720007283
i get the feeling this game was designed with feedback from hardcore speedrunners and ironsoul challengers who complained that beating god master with all binding after taking the delicate flower on a trip through the path of pain was to easy

>>720005239 (OP)
Act 3 and he's still the hardest boss Ive fought

>>720006230
But it has only one enemy in the entire path so it's very fast to get there.

>>720005239 (OP)
this one's fine after some learning.
this actual NIGGER on the other hand...

>>720007725
>Summons fucking air strike drones
THANKS OBUGMA

>>720005239 (OP)
where is this dude? i'm fucking nervous

>>720007571
I just take the wall shortcut

>>720005239 (OP)
Literally impossible. Steam rejected my refund request because I played too many hours

>>720007563
wait... is it only tools? or does the nail get it too?

>>720005239 (OP)
he's not that bad, the boss fight is more about ad management moreso than an actual boss fight

>>720006230
>>720006540
If you disarm the trapped bench and open the shortcut in the citadel, the runback is easy. You aren't complaining about THAT runback, are you?

>>720007412
How is it harder to position a giant area of effect damage spell than a ranged horizontal attack that doesn't even have the courtesy of being as large as the horizontal ranged attack from the first game?

>>720006540
the runback gauntlet is literally part of the gameplay loop see: hunter's march just accept it

>>720007841
There's a shortcut?

>>720008028
i'm 15 hours in and I still haven't done nigger's march, is the reward good enough to justify it?

>Conductor room
KILL
KILL
KILL!

>>720007938
You can disable the trapped bench? how?

>>720008172
There's a hidden wall to the left

>>720007836
Chapel of the beast, in Hunter's march. You'll need the drifter's cloak to get there

>>720008091
no idea, I bashed my head against it yesterday for a few hours and decided to farm powerups and ended up getting sidetracked killing 3 more bosses, I heard you can simple key it from another side or something

>>720005339
top kino
I really enjoyed this one.

anyone know where to get the fire sword consumable? I have a simple key if I need that

>>720008091
There's a pretty good charm and a new subweapon you can buy, plus a memory capsule thing, all of which you can get without fighting the boss. The boss is only guarding a new crest which kinda sucks.

>>720008028
Runbacks are outdated design, it serves no purpose but to waste the player's time and shows this game has been in development for far longer than it should've been

>get the worst reward for beating him
I realized it probably matches well with the health buff item, but still, holy shit. I went from being super excited to instant disappointment

>>720005239 (OP)
How reliable is pogoing TLJs dash move with the reaper creat
Got clapped yesterday and realized I could probably do that

Also fuck that one specific drill fly at the start of the run back

>>720008326
you in act 1?
use the simple key on the docks entrance, then explore the docks. It will be in a room near the big fat dudes (which, when killed give you 20 beads).

>>720008369
It servers to remind players to stop getting stuck into a rhythm and actually plan ahead instead of just brute-forcing bosses

there needs to be some concept of potential loss. Its part of the reason Demon's Souls levels can be more daunting than Elden Ring levels.

>>720008051
after you jump from thr first guardian run jump to the left, that skips the drillfly and second guardian

>>720007258
He would need to kill Widow, which is slightly harder.

>several enemies to track simultaneously
>his horizontal attack will sometimes be too high to jump & too low to be under
he took me the most runs and its more about all the fucking mobs on screen. i'm in act two, rest of the bosses don't rely on erratic mob spam so far and have been pretty cool. love the game. have to say Last judge run back needs to toned down.

>>720008369
I disagree. It adds more complexity to difficulty and in a lot of cases there are multiple benches you can choose to run back from creating strategy and planning where there was none before. Sometimes a bench that is farther away is actually a much easier route.

>>720005239 (OP)
i must have got lucky with the summons cuz i beat him second try. from what i saw on /v i was expecting some bullshit

>>720008473
nope act 2, I thought I had already explored all of the docks

>Horizontal charges
The first goes low, the second goes high, the third tracks you. Jump it.
>Vertical charges
Free hits, heal window after the third
>Adds
The small fliers are basically popcorn, if you have the first damage upgrade they go easy
The spike bugs are just area denial. They die to the vertical smashes.
The fat fliers are just like the spike bugs, lure them low and let the vertical smash take care of them.

>>720009402
i found it!

>>720009419
>if you have the first damage upgrade they go easy
If you had the first damage upgrade you didn't beat the boss.

>>720005239 (OP)
>backed into a corner with all the adds
>one hit from death
>parried every attack from the mobs, like it was fucking evo ken vs chun li in the span of like 3 seconds
>beat him shortly after
>holy fuck hype im so good
>steam didnt record it
fuck this shit

>>720009419
Where the fuck do I get a damage upgrade? I'm in the Blasted Steps, and I still haven't found shit. Everything takes a million swings to go down.

>>720009772
If the default pogo was playable I wouldn't have needed to return there.

>>720010035
npc in bellhart after you remove its curse

>>720005239 (OP)
I'm almost at the end of the game (I think) and the only fight that gave me a super hard time was the enemy arena before you reach the Conductor. The double big guys are complete bullshit and it feels like RNG to not get fucked by them.

>>720010280
Oh god dammit, I completely forgot to go back there after. I just found the dude's courier buddy and then fucked off.

>>720005239 (OP)
not being able to save before the boss room and having to travel all that shit is filtering me nigga

>>720010652
die to Beastfly -> get tilted -> forget the trap in the runback -> get trapped -> get stabbed by ant -> get tilted -> miss jump -> get tilted -> die to Beastfly

>>720007258
can't recover the beads because the cocoon shit spawns next to the nigger and the fight activates
I'll try dying next to the door next time to see if I can recover it without activating his shit

WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS NIGGER DO 3 POINTS OF DAMAGE

>>720010791
Destroy the cocoon and go back to the main menu
