raocow's talkhaus

The main thing that ruins this fight for me is how big the arena is. The game forces you to go after those green orbs, but doing so often means that jehoul will be offscreen. And since literally all of his tells are based on his movement, you get into situations (e.g. the laser) that force you to t...

Incorrect.

Well, the good news is that everything is dodgeable. The only thing that's kind of problematic once you've learned the fight are the blue balls. They can occasionally wall you (though on Mortal it shouldn't be an issue). Rule #1: Stay near JJ. You can't dodge attacks you can't see, so you always wan...

also i don't remember any of these other angels and having them suddenly show up for the final boss fight seems a bit akward and weird. I don't know about the other one but the green one definitely showed up at the start of the game. Ira showed up in the first area. She appeared when you got the Fl...

When I was first playing, I never figured out that you could hit the bones back at JJ. As raocow sort of figured out, they do the most damage when they hit his head, but they also stack. If you're really good, you can hit all three spikes into his head, and it does crazy damage. JJ actually does mor...

So, I've been saying that Rubi is the worst, but Amethyst is challenging her. "Yes, I can summon platforms, but only the yokai kind!" See I just don't get that part. Solgryn has all these plot conviniences to explain why the angels can't do this or that, but there's no explanation offered...

For people who beat the game already, how many times did it take to beat the final boss the first time? For me, Azurel was 125 deaths, and the final boss was 994, which feels ridiculous.

Also is there any indication at all when and where the floor's going away or does it just kinda drop off the bottom of the screen without warning or reason? White...orby things(?) fly out of a platform about a second before it falls, giving you time to react. Personally, I have no problem with the ...

WhattayaBrian's Funtimes Strategy Corner 1. Pick a side. Do not follow Azurel. Make her come to you. Choose 3 or 4 platforms a dedicate yourself to keeping them up, and forget about the rest. Only take care of black holes that can reach you. 2. Use your double jump. Generally, you would jump, then ...

This boss would be a lot more fun if it wasn't for the stupid skeleton portals. It seems totally random where they appear on the battlefield, and you're better of restarting until they both spawn on one side. Both? If you mean the blue ones, she will summon those constantly throughout the fight. It...

Damn it all, raocow. You're given a flight mechanic and you refuse to fly. That said, Azurel's the worst boss fight by far. She is the only one I would remove from the game. Black and blue projectiles against a black and blue background is horrible, and the fight just feels so disorganized and spamm...

He is at the next boss.

raocow had the right idea before the clip was cut. Sloth is the single highest burst damage in the game. Depending on how good you are at mashing, you can time the strike and shoot at the same time, bursting up to 12 damage. With a lengthy cd, of course. It's useful in a few scenarios. Not much else...

Don't feel dumb, raocow. Nobody thinks they should go ahead of the snake on the second ride. Everyone spends many deaths trying to figure out how they can manage to hit the sponge 4 times. It's totally normal. For the record, I am also not a fan of the teeth suction. It does make some things much ha...

The Climb is the hardest non-boss segment in the game. And you passed it! Congrats. :) Also I just want to point out that you made the first screen much harder than it needed to be. You can make it back to the save platform by going the normal route instead of through that little section between. I ...

Well, if it makes you feel any better, this is the last major platforming segment. There's a tiny, mostly inconsequential one after the next boss, and that's it. This one is long and difficult, and the puzzliest of them all.

You're at the home stretch!

It seems like a weird design decision to have a boss do three super-attacks in a row rather than spread them throughout the fight, honestly. It's far from the worst or even strangest thing this game's done, but I just don't see what it adds to have them all at once. Well, splitting them up would ma...

I took two pieces of candy. I am a monster.

The critical moment of the fight is right when she finishes her enrage, she will always summon the skull ball and then immediately do the big fireball. If you can learn how to quickly deal with the fireball, the skull ball is not too hard to manage, but having them both out is pretty rough. A useful...

Does she have the most stuff? Maybe it's because she's so small but to me she seemed a lot easier than the orc sisters other than the weirdness with her shield. IMHO, yes. The Orcs have many different attacks, but only a few are relevant at a time. For Myougi 2, you can have simultaneously : 1. Roc...

I disagree. The bar, while admittedly confusing, is extremely useful once you understand it. The battle would be much harder without it.

So, there is a grace period after you hit her before the counter is up but she can no longer take damage. So if you crescent her once, the hits are fast enough that you'll do 1 damage but won't heal her (despite there being 3 more hits).

I had a feeling it would take a while for raocow to figure out Myougi 2's mechanics. I think the key is that you need to be willing to to forget about actual attempts at winning for a little while and just do science. So you ignore dodging and everything else and just look at the healthbars. I perso...

Why can you even hit the *looks up on wiki* brutes if you cant damage them? If I had to guess? Because Solgryn is not a very adept programmer. A few patches ago, the barrier blocks (the white/blue whispy cloud things) were attackable as well. My theory goes something like this: In order to perform ...

Is it just me or could raocow actually kill those big purple things after the first room they appeared in? In the first room he was dealing 0 damage to them but in the second room he kept hitting the one up on the ledge while killing the turret and seemed to be actually dealing damage but never not...
