Scylla not well designed.
This is a boss that would work in the original game because double dash makes it possible to quickly get out of AOE stuff. However, it just doesn't work with the sprint. Right now whether you get hit or not is mostly based on luck. This is especially true in the second phase of the game where the drum lady basically forces you into a small circle where sprint is practically useless.

P.S. I beat her a couple of times already. I just think she needs some tweaking because rn it's not a challenging or rewarding experience. Getting past her feels like I just got lucky and not more skilful at the game.

I feel the same. The dash+sprint doesn't allow us to dodge moves that have huge AOE

i really like that fight. just play around the drummer and get rid of her first.since she doesn´t move, she suffers a lot from a good omega cast with some boons on it. once she is gone, you are free to roam the whole arena. a lot of things in that fight can be dodged by just walking out of the way. make sure to keep your dash for moves that you can´t outrun and you´re good.

Idk she's pretty patterned. I beat her every time since second try at her. I beat 3rd boss on my second try also. The only boss I think might be challenging is Chronos but I've only tried it once.

I hate the boss.:angry_pebble:

I did not find it that difficult to dodge in that fight. It's just a matter of knowing who to focus first.

It is possible to position yourself ahead of time if you know the moveset. I found it no problem at all when i was thinking strategically.

I got used to the new dash in the first area and first tried her.
So, just get good, mate.

I think the first couple times where tough but I havent died to her since, definitely target the drummer first and if you can group scelly and the drummer together and get some really good damage in. Everything becomes much more manageable after that and i really dont use the run option that often im so used to just dashing in Hades that it seems weird sometimes to run along with the fact some of the run effects are kinda bad.

The boss is definitely a bit over tuned for the current move set. The movement mechanics need work still. The music is good though.

She just wants to claw out your eyes, and drown you to death!

I dunno, i actually dont find Scylla to be that bad and have managed to get past her multiple times with barely a scratch, Going after the drummer first is 100% the way to go as they are the most disruptive of the 3 and a stationary target.

Cast should basically saved for scylla at the start of the fight since she always starts with the scream attack.

That said i have managed to get some quick kills on the guitarist since she tends to isolate herself from the group

The big thing you need to remember is that usually the drummers aoe circles tend to fly down all at once in volleys, and dash has HELLA i-frames. The only time i think the boss becomes pretty tough is when Scylla herself is the star in phase 2

Dog is way more difficult to randomness of attacks and huge AoE hitbox. Can be a pain for melee sometimes.

i do not think it is tied to scylla in particular but more about the sprint in general, other than big channeling aoe (cerberus for instance) the dash->sprint feels... idk, lackluster? . As you pointed out sometimes sprint is turned off by small and/or hazardous, arenas, i also had a feeling that this action is not very linked to others and end up slowing me down but it might be a weapon thing (witch staff only here, and that weapon is a big "there is nothing else outside of omega action" labbeled on it).

Sprint feels fine if you take +20% move speed card. You can actually notice the difference in that case.
But by default it's useless.
