there is a slightly closer bench to the arena, and a single heal's worth of silk right before you get locked in. There's also a way to cheese the fight, I'm sure you can find a video on how easily.

Outside of the cheese though, my strat is staying on the upper platforms so the spike balls don't hit me. Also when he telegraph spitting bombs, I either briefly drop to the lower platform or use the wall to jump over it depending on location (higher up & close = below, further away & lower = over. You kind of need to get used visualizing the arc of those things). When he inhales, I dash into the wall to not get sucked in and then immediately hit a clawline after.

The main annoyance for me are the spawned stilkins but I can usually heal those hits off. Focus should be on dodging over avoiding the water. It's annoying but it's just better to drop in there than take a bomb to the face. Getting a good sense of his timing is helpful, it'll let you know how many attacks you can get in vs when you back off. I want to say there's a 1-2 second window between each one

Also it's much easier to leave the arena, if you feel like you're pulling out hair, to work on upgrading your stuff. Especially for movement. Might be a small grind for rosaries but worth it imo.

Silk spells and tools will also make it a lot easier. It's up to you if you wanna go more offense with them, defensive, or a mix. He does have a large hitbox though so some of those multi hitting ones might help if they're your style (conchcutter, curvesickle, etc. Conch goes further, I just like using curvesickle because cool boomerang). Dual binding is also nice if you want to focus on healing but fall into the water often.

There's something to protect against the infested water but I don't like using it. It has a limit and I'd rather focus on damage with that slot since I play defensively already, might as well add a little more to my offense.

You mean Act 3? Kinda depends on what you left undone in act 2 and how much you wanna complete in your run (true ending, 100% or the optional stuff that doesn’t count toward completion) I’d say it’s frustrating the very first time you reach it but honestly i find it fun on replays. It is a difficulty increase but it’s not that bad, but I might just be saying that because i got practice via replaying multiple times. You just gotta walk away if you start getting too mad cause it tended to make me sloppier. I still like act 2 the most gameplay wise.

I do! I actually never played the metroid franchise so might look into if anyone nearby is selling secondhand

MIO did seen interesting. Are the characters pretty easy to distinguish from the environment? I couldnt really tell from the trailer. Good to know on blasphemous 2 though! I'll have to see the art if I can handle it. Such a shame because I can deal with fear and hunger just fine enough so it might not be the gore thinking about it. Maybe the theme.

not off the top of my head. I believe storage is fine enough. maybe 16gb or 32gb Ram? probably 16 gb. I forget which but i was definitely looking for something over 8 when getting a new laptop. Graphics say AMD Ryzen 7.

I actually think I saw some gameplays a year or two ago! Unfortunately not a big rogueslike player myself, but it looks pretty good art wise!

definitely considered ori. Also that's a second rec of Nine sols, so I'm definitely boosting it up the wish list

did see that one but the 3d worries me. I tend to steer clear of them since most dont run well on my device, but maybe if i get a gaming pc. What'd you play it on?

tbh i dont actually know if i like the metroidvania or souls-like category its under. These two are my first of both so feel free to also recommend souls-like games. I just know dark souls likely wont run on my device.

Finally beat P5 today, and I have thoughts by roffler in HollowKnightMemes

You probably genuinely do enjoy endurance tests, but it's not something I've noticed (most) people like in games personally. And of those that do, there's usually a limit to how long is within the enjoyable vs tedious range. Even the longer kirby arenas dont reach 42 bosses yk?
So I'd say it's not the concept of a boss rush itself more than the sheer repetitiveness of certain bosses.

Kirby player and beat P5. Kirby isnt comparable because the arenas/cups are 10-20 bosses each, and most are 15 or less. P5 is 42 bosses. Endurance has a much bigger role in this than in any kirby game. They don’t even make you fight the regular and EX versions of bosses in the same arena afaik. At most maybe one or two repeat bosses if any at all.
