Mad Clown is rough

[Pink Eye]

I have no window to attack with my slow giant a$$ sword. It feels like as soon as I prepare another attack he's already comboing me. And when I perfect parry one of his red attacks he doesn't get staggered, he just continues his combo. This is annoying, augh .

You just need to memorize his attack patterns. It's tough, yes, but once you memorize the patterns it becomes somewhat easier.

The real struggle will come when you reach the boss. Mad Clown will look like a joke when you face that boss.

Thanks for the help bro, much appreciated, it's much needed in these difficult times.

Get him up the stairs and keep walking around the Bushes. Then use the Fire arm and keep shooting the fire over the bushes and walking around the bushes

his red attack dont block jusst run side and rush in for hit before he pulls back

If this is that mini boss down the wide fire road, he can be cheesed easily. Make him follow you to a staircase around the corner. The staircase has an opening that you can drop down onto the boss and deal massive amounts of damage and the boss itself will not follow you up the stairs. You can repeat the cycle and easily kill him.

I just uploaded a video for you. (Fire kills him quickly)

Ohh nice! I'll try that....after a dozen or so tries I'm ready to switch it up and move on!

Just beat with a giant sword no problem. Funniest mini-boss so far.

Funny thing is the clown took me four attempts, and the actual boss was a one-shot. To add to patterns though, here's a few things I noted:

1. Try to time a right side (your right) dodge for the clown punch, then close the gap for a hit on him. Only perfect guard if you definitely can't make the dodge. Just judge by the clown's body position.

2. His punch combo is a pain, but perfect guard all of them (or try to) and remember the final hit comes slower. He will then do an uppercut, but if you dodge to your left, it'll miss you and you have enough time for a charge attack.

3. Throwables absolutely trash his hp.

The Two Dargons Sword aka Moonveil
seems fun though

Just beat him earlier - was using electric mace at +6; basically just perfect blocked as well as I could and brought him down to like 50-45% health, and then I spammed all (5 or whatever you can carry) of my electric grenade things which finished him off.

Just don't use anything consumable until you get him down that far. And I also used puppet string + some kiting to clear out all other enemies there first for plenty of area.

Managed to beat the Insane Clown Posse, I mean puppet, no throwables.

A hard fight, but didn't feel unfair at all. Some of his attacks are very hard to read, but I found that his giant comedic boxing glove ranged attack and spinning attack are easy to perfect guard and then used that to break his posture multiple times, running away from his more conventional boxing combos as they're hard to predict. The Bellyflop attack can also be dodged around for a free punish.

All in all a really cool fight, but much more manageable if you activate the stargazer behind him instead of doing the looooong dangerous run-up through the burning alley.

[Krypto]

Perfect guard his long range toss attack. If you get too close, he'll do a melee combo. Also, there's a stargazer right behind him so you can run to that and then retry until you beat him.
