games

the first is the antitthhesis of fun

they only took me like 5 tries

wait until you get bilewater

now that is a zone

ok I cleared it

wait what's wrong with lace 1

I realized that i had taken off the weighted belt, but even with that the first phase sucked

that's supposed to be phase 1 of the fight i was complaining about

oh gotcha

phase 2 is easy because its not some bullshit flier spamming projectiles that can combo you into lava walls

phase 2 might be one of the easiest things in the game actually

all the bosses that spawn adds

are all easy pattern wise

it is only difficult because of the adds

What's interesting about the Bilewater boss is that his attacks that spawn adds, don't REALLY spawn adds, like the adds just leave after attacking once. So, you can consider his "adds" to just be disjointed attacks. Actually one of the few good design decisions from that boss.

probably the worst runback in the game

with its rng enemy spawns

not even probably, just objectively

not finished with act 3 yet

so who knows

there's a bunch of act 3 optional bosses I didn't fight, so I technically don't know either

I am kind of disappointed in act 3 so far

I haven't fought a boss that was genuinely fun yet

I was extremely so! To the point I couldn't be bothered to fight the rest of the bosses!

so is this bell actually act 3 locked?

what i am currently doing is trying to maximize completion without having beaten the clockwork thing at the end of act 2

bell in the deepdocks

yes that is apart of act 3

so there's no reward for beating that boss until act 3

hope you like your shortcut

XD

is it possible to get pale oil in act 2?

yeah

if not I may give up on this completion quest

what tier of needle are you at?

sharpened

you can get up to tier 3 in act 2

1 is locked behind a quest

I forget

yeah I have looked at a map

i accepted the quest and the easiest way to past that locked door is through the clockwork fight

there are 2 fights you are locked out of if you start act 3

but they are optional and not needed for completion

if you care about that

wait you're avoiding clockwork dancers?

it has the quest marker on it so I don't want to do it

There's a lot more to act 2 after dancers

ok then i am maximizing completion before doing dancers then

Well, just wanted to make sure you know that that fight doesn't change anything, but obviously play as you like.

the last main quest marker ended the act

I kind of want to see if its possible to entirely skip clockwork dancers

The pinstress is such a shitty fight. She claims to want a duel but then just floats and spams her ranged attack

what a bitch

Yeah she is a clone of those crows in greymoor

i mad that multibinder doesn't clear maggots then heal you

that seemed like an obvious use for it

now I fight a boss that does double contact damage, melees you if you ever approach, spams full screen projectiles with random movement that disable healing

can't do anything fun like grapple spam so this fight is just boring wait halfway across the screen and hope you aren't 1 pixel too close to the projectile arc

which is that?

disgraced chef

ahh right

i should probably go get needle 3 before doing this just because its so slow

which needle are you missing? The one that's sitting in a room, or the quest one?

the quest one is locked hehind this fight

right, it is

I guess by "needle 3" you mean the third form of the needle, whereas I was interpreting it as the third upgrade/pale oil

ok I am stopping for tonight because I need to wake up tomorrow morning

clockwork dancers is next

I have no idea how I am at 61 hours

there must be some issue with the game counting time while in the switch menu

is there data on how much of a damage multiplier the nail upgrades grant?

neat

The flea festival is so annoying

I regret saving all those fleas now

you don't like being forced to do minigames for your upgrades? :)

worst part of zelda, no better here

the only saving grace of this is that I can cheat by getting back on the platform when I fail a dodge
