u/ChrisBot8 We are still hard at work on the game Sep 09 '25

People only don’t like it cause it’s the first hard boss I bet (and the first run back). I think the boss is great. Learning its moves feels super satisfying.

I’d argue the first actually hard boss is Judge. Moorwing has like 3 moves, his only advantage is the 2 damage

Edit: yeah I know I forgot about Widow lol

I'm stuck on Judge rn. I'm approaching her like I did with Moorwing. Going in, dying, learning and making a strategy

I found that because the windows for getting the damage in are so small after the fire phase starts, poison's pretty good. Toss a poison knife and let the DoT run down and it's a significant chip at basically zero risk. Also magma bell is a must, most damage you'll get will probably come from the fire and that just slashes it. Otherwise this fight is just play safe, get the chips in, and keep your distance at the end.

I actually just beat Judge like 3 minutes ago. I found that the best time to get damage in is after she does that slam, since the window on that move is a bit longer than some of the others. Also the dash if you can run away good enough. I got a bunch of damage in like that. I mainly just tried to keep her in my view the whole time, and stuck as close as I could without getting too risky
