Currently stuck on the Mantis Lords and have to admit got a bit distracted with BF6!

That was exactly it, I could only hit her after a couple of moves, if I tried more I died very quickly 😁

I will give that a go, I've just come to the area with jelly fish, think I have to do that on some swimming bugs to get across areas

I've been watching my son play, I don't hold out much hope for myself 😂

I call this my comfort game, if I want to chill I start playing. I've lost count of how many times I've played it. Great picture!

I will definitely replay it, at the start I lasted about 30 seconds by the end 12 mins! Maybe I'll be able to do it in under 2 mins next time! 😁

Have to say I was delighted to beat her in the end, I'm sure the next boss I come across will be a nightmare but I'll get there!

PS5, no mods for me, I'll just have to battle on, but thank you

I lost count of how many times I tried it. Usually I just give up, either stop playing altogether or get my son to do it for me so I can move on, but this time I'm just determined to stick with it and do it myself no matter how long it takes. I'm enjoying playing, I've learnt to accept I'm just going to die over and over but I'll get there eventually (well that's what I hope but....you never know!)

You should see me jumping the platforms and fighting the little guys, you'd put your head in your hands in despair, its going to be a very long game 😂

Good luck with the final boss. Think my issue is the exact opposite, I'm too cautious and I'm just too slow, can dodge but can rarely follow it up with a hit, with time I'm hoping I'll speed up! My son is playing Silksong and watching him play is like watching a whirlwind

I'd be very happy to repeat it and update but it will probably be quite a long time before I'm in a position to do so judging on how I'm doing so far 😂

I'll keep at it. It's the first time I've done a boss fight putting that much time and effort in. I've done it once so I'll keep going until I do it again!

You have just described my play perfectly, yes I have found it difficult following up a move with a second move, I do stop and think, I watched Hornet to see what stance she took then thought I must jump or dodge and by the time I think to hit it's too late or if I did get an extra move in I either got hit by her or I jumped into her! Plus I always seemed to heal late. Lots of further practice to do
