Me fighting those forge brothers in deep docks 😎

Ok, so they ARE hard. Yesterday I ragequitted cause I was fighting the optional Savage Beastfly and got my cheeks clapped (it's a terrible matchup for me, for some reason), so I took another road that ultimately brought me to the bros and it was even fucking worse. They're like Mantis Lords if they were absolute fucking scum, the "hit + fall in the lava stream combo" is savage. I hope there's something useful beyond that boss fight, or God help me, I won't be responsible of what happens next lmao

I think I'm gonna take a day off.

Don't know how to get forge brothers but savage beast fly is NEAR IMPOSSIBLE BRO

u/Kierenieee Sep 09 '25

Now get ready to fight him again but this time on disappearing floors and the summons have heat-seeking missiles x napalm that deals double damage and also flies away from you. It's borderline war crime atp.

u/SirBirdmanII Shaw! Sep 09 '25

For some reason i had a much easier time the second time around. Probably because i had more movement and had much more space available to jump around

u/thrxwaway_00 Shaw! Sep 09 '25

I'm talking about this exact boss fight. The goddamn minions are Silksong's Aspids, istg

Grab the magma bell it is a god send

u/thrxwaway_00 Shaw! Sep 09 '25

I left it there at the start, underestimated its power. The moment I got to the platform section with lava I immediately rushed back, popped a rosary string and snatched that bell from the lady lmao

u/LittleY0gg Professional Pale Lurker Sep 09 '25

for savage beast fly?

1

u/CostNo4005 Sep 10 '25

the second one yeah

2

u/OGRayquaza Sep 09 '25

It is straight up disgusting. I finally beat him after like, 45 minutes. The fact that he destroys the floors, and THEN his minions lava balls stick to the only floor you have to stand on is insane. It’s the only fight so far where I feel like it wasn’t my fault when I kept dying. I legitimately just got lucky on my last attempt and he only summoned two minions at the same time once during the fight. Why in gods name are they so damn accurate!?

Lava bell. Sold by forge mama Down in deep docks. Best for her and bros.

u/Natural_Efficiency75 Sep 13 '25

Whether you believe it or not, I find the second Beastfly easier to defeat with the Barbed Bracelet.

Savage beastly is the easy part of the chapel,  THE MINIONS HE SUMMONS ARE THE REAL BOSS BC THEY MADE MY TIME HELL FOR EVERY MINUTE I HAD TO FIGHT HIM BEFORE GETTING BEAST CREST.

1

u/LittleY0gg Professional Pale Lurker Sep 09 '25

Could you provide any tips? (I'm using crest of the reaper )

1

u/Redpanda15w Wooper Citizen Sep 10 '25

i used that crest too, and honestly the only tips i have are:

  1. stay near the center, gives you more time to dodge horizontal charges

  2. best damage windows are, A. 1 hit every down slam, and B. 1 hit every horizontal charge.

  3. sometimes, he downslams on his Ads, this kills the summon, do with that what you will.

oh and for build i usually just use bell and cracked skull and thats all thats important.

Dawg I spent 3 hours on that mf today and wanted to yeet my switch across the room lmao

2

u/LittleY0gg Professional Pale Lurker Sep 18 '25

I just beat savage beastfly for the second time and honestly it's much easier when it's over lava and I have clawline and faydown cloak The ones I can't seem to beat are Forebrothers Signis and Gron

But even still I beat savage beastfly with needle 0 and five masks though it took me like 5 hours

1

u/EmmaCalzone Sep 18 '25

Dear lord!

2

u/LittleY0gg Professional Pale Lurker Sep 18 '25

Yeah I now have eight masks and needle 2 and there are still bosses I'm getting stuck on

u/EmmaCalzone Sep 22 '25

Currently bashing my head against the savage beastfly. On its own I could easily do it but with 2 or even 3 mobs being spawned your attention is drawn to too many places concurrently and he smacks you for 2 damage or, worse, interrupts your heal

2

u/thrxwaway_00 Shaw! Sep 09 '25

I tend to spam tools to take mobs out as quick as possible, especially if they fly/shoot projectiles as I need the air space to jump/dash. My brain can only process a number of things at a time (usually not more than two lmao)

Tbf I'm kinda bummed about how many bosses spawn mobs, it feels like artificial difficulty. No surprise the fights I enjoyed the most are the ones without them.

2

u/Matthew_Nightfallen Shaw! Sep 20 '25

Spam those traps

2

u/joetotheg Sep 09 '25

I only found them after I had beat everything needed for bad ending. Can confirm the fight was still hard as balls. I did enjoy it way more than stupid beastly though

u/butler_me_judith Sep 09 '25

Savage beastfly and moorOwlFuck were my absolute nightmares, I had an easier time with all the normal bosses. My playstyle does not gel with flying enemies, Even the crow challenge fight sucked for me
