How did (you) beat him?

I have gotten fairly far in the game, beaten most bosses without a sweat, have numerous upgrades but I still can't beat this fucker.

>>720289765 (OP)
Hit him while avoiding his attacks.

>>720289765 (OP)
NPC in a nearby room in the ant area sells you a boomerang that says "it's good against flying enemies".

>>720289765 (OP)
I beat him with barely any upgrades.

>>720290190
ive got that, I tried using it with the trap and the poison charm, still cant beat it. It would be so bad if the boss was fun or redeemable in anyway

>>720289765 (OP)
reaper for range
spinny areal aoe move
boomerang
30 tries

>>720289765 (OP)
Unironically, stop running around like a chicken with its head cut off and be patient.
Delete any mooks he summons with tools ASAP

>>720289765 (OP)
He has 2 attacks - stomp, which you can sidestep, and dash, which you can jump over. Surely you can deal with that? And even if you can't, he is constantly summonong adds that you can abuse to get 1 mask of damage instead of 2

>>720289765 (OP)
Niggers, learn to play slow. if you keep dying stop trying to win and try to learn instead, play slow, focus on dodging, learn where it is and isnt safe, THEN work in attacks.
theres no reason to be greedy 100% of the time, let alone if you keep dying

stop and observe for a bit.

>>720290672
>adds that you can abuse to get 1 mask of damage instead of 2
what do you mean?

Silkstorm deletes the small adds. Sting shards for the big blender. The rest is just positioning.

>>720290828
If you know you will get hit, get hit by a small bug, not the boss.

>>720290828
if you get trapped, like in a corner, you can use the adds to take 1 damage then use the iframes to dash out instead of 2 damage from the boss

>>720290942
I'm retarded. What do you mean by adds? Is that an abbreviation or something?

>>720291056
Summoned mobs. Adds.

>>720290805
> play slow
>theres no reason to be greedy 100% of the time
Different anon that will reiterate these points. Savage Beastfly is the only boss thus far (i'm in Act 3) that has annoying microspacing where you really can't rush it otherwise you'll just whiff. I can be greedy on any other boss except this one but if you play slow he is pretty much a cakewalk.

>>720289765 (OP)
Lace, Fourth Chorus and Sister Splinter all in a row before this boss broke my brain into sticking to the center of arenas. It got much easier once I realized that he gets stunned and doesn't repeat the charge move when he hits a wall

>>720289765 (OP)
Attack it with the blade upwards while it’s launching its stomp. Hit it on its sides when it stomps.
Either the trap and boomerang tools are good for this match.

watching notgoingtonamedrop get stuck on the lava one for three hours and swapping to another stream where vtuba beat the normal final boss first try was honestly embarrassing to watch

>>720289765 (OP)
Literally a shitty optional boss with no good rewards

Just come back later

>>720289765 (OP)
The trick is to get his health bar down to zero.
Hope that helps!

>>720291597
U wot? Beast is one of the best crests

jesus fucking christ how fucking bad at videogames do you have to be to get filtered by this guy

>>720289765 (OP)
I stopped after 15 hours, never encountered this thing.
Now I'm playing games I actually enjoy.

>>720289765 (OP)
Learnt the timing to properly bait his horizontal zoomies to an appropriate height, and used to the silk lance attack to quickly kill adds.

>>720291956
gachaslop and vns are games sis

>>720291693
I really want to use beast but the downwards attack is so fucking Bad it ruins it for me

>>720292147
You get used to it, but having no i-frames at the beginning sucks massively, yeah.

>>720292208
It's not really about I frames or anything but more like it's really weird, being almost completely horizontal and hard to hit, specially when I really use downwards attack which is why I use wanderer or reaper
Reaper is goated due to slot variety too

>>720289765 (OP)
>Small mobs spawn > kill them
>Big mob spawn > make him kill them
>Only hit him when he does the slam
>Use the silk storm
>Heal in the air
Took me 5 tries

>>720289765 (OP)
I beat him twice. He’s cycling through two moves which are both extremely predictable. Only the adds make it challenging. Silkstorm will kill them in one go if you connect all the hits, except for the big ones that take an extra hit. Speed up the fight with a tool of your choice. In the rematch make sure never to destroy all platforms on one side or the other so you can always kill the adds spawning in.

>>720289765 (OP)
Kek. And the reward for beating this boss is possibly the worst crest in the game

>>720289765 (OP)
All the retards dying are like others are saying in this thread just running around like crazy. Most bosses are super easy if you just have the patience to not jump around like a retard. The circus motherfucker will punish you hard for it later on

>>720289765 (OP)
Dodge the horizontal attack, dodge the vertical attack, kill the add in 3 hits. Repeat

Woah, hard boss

>>720292835
>kill the add in 3 hits
You didn't beat the boss.

>>720289765 (OP)
I don't think people complaining about the games difficulty are making good use of the silk skills or the tools. Get the boomerang and stop being a shitter.

>>720289765 (OP)
I learned that Team Cherry are dicks and made him choose semi-random heights to fly at instead of just charging at whatever level you currently are. But you can still jump up to bait him into flying high.

>>720289882

In English, doc!

>>720291056
additional enemies, spawned mobs, extra mooks or minions etc
just a shorthand for more small enemies in a boss fight.

>>720292995
im not complaining about the difficulty mate, i was just looking for tips, also i just beat it :3

>>720289765 (OP)
It still baffles me that this boss is even being brought up. People are getting worse at video games than I even thought they could. You jump over him and slowly side step him, while HE kills the enemies that HE spawns. The fight was a ₗᵢₜₜₗₑ hectic at first, but after you understand that YOU lead the boss around for a very simple telegraphed pattern, it becomes NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT you brain-melted, movie-game playing, no skill having, PUSSIES.

Use Silk Storm, this boss becomes a bitch once you know his moves.

>>720290941
That's the most retarded strategy I ever heard about in a platformer. No way that crap was playtested

>>720289765 (OP)
hit him 70 (seventy) times while you watch netflix on your other monitor. same as most bosses because they only have two attacks

>>720289765 (OP)
I got filtered by him, decided to come back later, remembered he existed after my second nail upgrade, then went back and mopped him.
Still haven't gone for the quest with the second one yet.

>>720289765 (OP)
>Get to the place
>Dun dun dun
>Oh shit this is scary
>Oh shit here we go
>Oh it's just a big fly, cute joke, time to wipe my ass with it
>Get mauled

>>720296425
yeah its weird, I assumed it was a bit people did for a while, y'know a 'hard' game comes out, make a shitpost about a simple boss or enemy and pretend to cry over it

but no, theyre serious, the devs even NERFED the boss due to their whinging.
christ, people are bad now.

>>720296793
I kinda get Moorwing because he feels like he has a lot more health than any other boss around him, but I have no idea what Sister Splinter did to earn a nerf. She's not even hard, it's her adds that are the biggest threat and the AoE spell completely wrecks them.

>>720297015
>the AoE spell completely wrecks them.
brainlets wont use tools, theyre so simple minded unless the game tells them to do it, they wont

remember when you were a kid and you boot up a game and press every button to see what they did?
they didnt, they instead opened up an online guide to play for them.

>>720289765 (OP)
I beat him early on with just the basic crest, make sure he crashes into the wall before you swing at him. Try to time it so he drops down on the creatures he summons. As he's summoning just hit a bunch of times. Probably the hardest boss for me so far but it's absolutely doable with basic gear

>>720293395
There’s nothing random about it.

>>720289765 (OP)
>Dashes at you
>Jump over and pogo for damage
>He slams the ground
>Move to the side slightly and hit him when he hits the ground
>When he summons adds just use your tools or silk skill
>If you need to heal then jump and heal in the air after he dashes at you
Is it really too hard for the average player to do this?

>>720289765 (OP)
The second time in the lava, I used Silkstorm to obliterate the companions took me like 6 tries.
The first fight was very easy though.

Basic attack and the basic healing move. I didn't use tools but the dart would've helped. Only time the fight got out of hand was the final phase where he's summoning 3 bugs at once. My main strat was to keep him in mind while I kill his bugs or let him crush them. Once you get used to his movements and when to attack him, he's not bad at all by himself.

>>720289765 (OP)
Kill his spawns with threadstorm. Whakc him nonstop. Get lucky and hope he doesn't repeatedly spawn the big fuckers

>>720293395
It's not random at all though, he definitely charges at the height you're at. Stop jumping all over the place, it only feels random because you're moving around too much and he can choose a height to charge while you're rising and falling which can cause awkward places to avoid.

>>720289765 (OP)
1) Don't jump his charge until it's clear he's not tracking
2) Don't fixate on getting him to ram adds; sometimes it's better to just kill them
3) Remember that contacting the adds deals 1 mask and gives iframes, which is prefrable to getting trapped and taking more
4) Don't save up silk for healing, because it's almost always better used for dealing damage and it's incredibly easy to build up silk for when you do need to heal

Dont try to look like a pro gamer and punish everything.
Give him space, hes large so you cant dodge his charge if your too close. Easy windows are when he ground pounds.

Use the silk storm aoe skill for ads.

>>720296425
>>720296793
I think it's because you can face both early and be unprepared for them, while far harder bosses are gatekept more

What's even worse than the default pogo is how bosses and mobs will retreat into you after you pogo them. if they have wings it's unsafe to pogo. that's bullshit.
They gave mobs far more varied movement options because players got gud but in the process made it a huge chore to deal with flying enemies.
the drill flies in the desert zones can just permanently stay out of range due to their knockback when they shoot.

>>720297137
You dont even have to use the tools. As with every game that features consumables. Just forget they exist like always. Still faceroll everything. The self heal mechanic in this game may not make you invincible, but god damn the fact that you always generate more as long as you land hits is worth a hell of a lot. I just unlocked the double jump, and im sure ill get used to it, but it almost feels like too much fucking utility. I already had access to two different types of air dashes and a slow fall, with a situational third air dash spell if I really wanted it. The game throws so much at you so fast, and retards are on here like "uhhh, the big fly hard. I got bugs on me in Bilewater, should I delete my save chat?"

>>720289765 (OP)
Basic nail + Hunter crest, since my tools were shit at that point

What really helped me was the tip of one Anon to stay near the walls, so it always crashes into the wall instead of just the third attempt.

That, and getting gud after dozens of tries.

>>720301273
To be fair, several tools are clearly defined as being the anti-air options. Also, pogoing on air enemies is usually for styling purposes anyway since in an actual engagement one would typically be pogoing ground enemies and striking up at air enemies. Why should you be able to, as a non-flying entity completely outperform in air to air combat with zero recourse?.

>>720289765 (OP)
Just take it slow and have him kill the ads for you when he does he's slam into the ground attack. Most dangerous thing is to let him touch you.

>>720301109
I have zero pity for people at this point on the topic of bosses that can be challenged earlier or later with better gear. It is not a new concept. If you know enough about a game to say "hey, this game has shared mechanics from Dork Souls!" then you ought to know about this trope by now. Regardless, i still stands my ground. The fucking fly is not that bad. I have seen much much worse.

Prayed to RNGjesus

>>720303150
your silk storm?!

Do you get nail upgrade or something to do more damage to the monsters? ALso, a way to see their hp?

>>720303228
1 silkstorm doesn´t take the fat dude, and if I stay more next to it, the falling container hits me.
Btw, that "sister" boss was easy af, those adds she spawns die on 1 storm.

>>720289765 (OP)
Use his slam attack to instant kill his adds. Don't be an aggressive retard while lots of enemies are around. Dodge, be defensive. Let him slam the enemies. Then go ape shit on him. Just be a chill guy.

>>720303267
After beating a boss, there is an npc in an associated town that will do your first upgrade. Further upgrades require an item (oil).
