Tome mistress made me put the game on hold

[Mister Jingles]

Guys, I like this game very much. I don't even have a problem with runbacks to a boss.
But the way back to the tome mistress is more than stupid and a pure deterrence of a fun game.
It makes me so mad, I will put the game on hold for now. Or even put it away altogether, Cause no game is worth the frustration such a stupid design decision causes. It simply serves zero purpose.
There are enough other games out there ...

What's so special about that runback? A single pendulum in the way?

So many words in that post but OP forgot to descibe what is the thing he's talking about specifically, lol. (apart from "way back to the time mistress")

Try to see if there are other places you can explore, maybe get/craft a few new items and earn levels too. Use your consumables. The runback shouldn't be that frustrating if you die only a couple of times.

If you're playing a Nightshade, well... It's not totally your fault, it's an ass class. Literally anything else would be better, so if you really can't beat her might be a good idea to try something else.

Yes, that is a nasty run-back. Making it to the boss with no health lost is a hard one.

One small hint, the shield and minor shield potions, do take one hit for you, it also works on one shot traps.

not sure if you know it, but there is a stone to warp to in the top right of that fight. it takes no more than 30s to get to her. You don't have to kill everything on the way there.

I don't get why people keep mistaking the marjonettes fight with the tome mistress fight. The tome mistress is to the top right of the same stone. You have to run through 2 mages with undodgeable curse, 1 insta-death trap, and 1 insta-kill fall to get to the tome mistress. This is by far the most annoying runbacks in the game.

Nope,no deathttrap is on the way, i think u forgot open a door(that can be opened from the other side door) which lead back to stone at the roof. Rooftop terrace is the name of the stone.

Did you mean the door that is before the instant kill swinging axe and instant kill pit with zero grab-ledges on it?
I remember that section vividly because I think Mistress is the worst corpse-run by far and seems like deliberate CBT.

No, its after, Rooftop terrace is the name of which stone,and it is after those pendulums. You open the door, 1 blood knight lancer 2 fire laser bat and a archer is in there,u use the ladder and after u have to use grapling hook and avoid 1 bloodmage and u at the boss door,u can ignore the blood mage ,bacuse u can enter the bossroom.

Just wait for the corpse run to matron Layla..... Through 3 different areas and almost every jump is a pit jump.... Just cleared that but it almost made me uninstall the whole game.....

Just before Layla is a portal to the Mines, so that corpse run is just down one elevator, past a Plague Slime, and into the portal.

..... Sigh ...... Well at least I'm past that point now... That would have saved me some grief though.....
