Lady Ethereal is complete BULL

[egoBorder]

This boss fight is a just joke. One then three and then FIVE rapidly spawning enemies, and you can't even tell which one you're supposed to be focusing on? The parry windows are so narrow, and the damage is completely unfair. Sorry this isn't a challenge, it's just torture. The player needs at least some indication of where she's going to spawn, the screen is just filled with damage sources.

I'm glad I disliked the game hours ago, this is just where I put it down. Makes me regret crowdfunding the game years ago. It's been a nightmare of bad pacing and cheapness. Enemy attacks are too fast and track way too efficiently. The variety of the player's attacks is pointless when you can't even tell where your target is. So disappointed in this game

cool a jester for what not liking a phase that everyone agrees kinda sucks in general.

Raise your hand if you're not 'everyone'

Missed the part where I said mostly, is everyone this toxic when referring to a phase of a boss.

Is the "mostly" in the room with us today?

Just beat her after god knows how many tries! Great feeling. Using full control instead of water flow, which I used against all the other bosses so far, really helped. Also after beating her I noticed that I forgot to use my bow at all...

I'm sorry, you are completely in denial.

I check your profile to see what games you accomplish, just to see if you have any justification in your discussion.

Dude.... you dont complete / finish games.

You bought 2 Dark Souls, 1 Prepare to Die, 1 Remastered. None of them did you link the flame. And you give remastered a good reviewed but you never finish it.

You played Fallout 4 & Banner Saga and didnt complete those too.

It seems like you buy heavy lore story games or souls-like games that takes too much time and just give up half way and then give a bad review because you dont have the time to learn the game or is not to your preference or want to complete it. And it feels like this is latest game that you want to dump your negative review on.

I am completing a second play-through and got to say that Lady Ethereal is definitely my favourite boss in the game! From the music, intensity and in general "aha, gotcha!" moments, this fight is definitely a lot of fun if you're the type of person to embrace patience and perseverance in video games.

These games rely on you learning the boss mechanics through "YOU DIED" mechanic.. The sooner you learn the patterns the easier everything becomes. It's not a game where you develop a personal tactic during combat as you have mentioned, but rather one where you learn the precise ways to overcome a boss. It puts you in that state of flow and I personally love that.

P.S. I saw you mention that Hollow Knight has no story - I think you're an ignorant idiot.

Just finished 3 phase Eigong too (woo hoo)..... Now I miss this game 🫡
I hated this game a few days ago and now I miss it 😐

Just beat her, and I agree with all the people saying she is hard but fun. It is a fast and intense fight, but one that really rewards quick reflexes, and having a plan for each attack; kind of feels like Grimm from Hollow Knight, complete with the teleporting around for each attack. It has that "dance" style of fight, where every action she does requires a specific reaction, and its all about completing the dance steps in order. You get long damage phases with the talisman place, and big downtime to heal and reset after every damage phase, so unless you really flub ~3 attacks in a chain you can always safely heal after a mistake. It took a few tries to learn for sure, but she's currently my favorite boss.

A late comer to this thread and I'm sure you'll have some snarky reply. I agree Lady Ethereal was a pain. Or for me she was. But if I have issues with a boss after a bit I stop. Come back the next day and then usually beat them pretty soon. You end up getting so caught up in the annoyance that you're not as likely to beat them. Taking a breather is important in these games.

I couldn't beat her. It took me hours to to beat her second phase, then I saw she had a phase 3 and gave up. I used the story mode difficulty and beat her, but immediately after the fight I lost all interest in this game and uninstalled it.

[Forblaze]

Lady Ethereal was my favorite fight of the game. Reminded me a lot of the Mantis Lords from Hollow Knight.

The mid air parry was really useful here because it works on both sides, where as parrying on the ground only works in the direction you're facing.

sooo... have you gottn gud yet? Cause if mommy ethereal gives yu this much trouble, imagine what eigong'll do to ya
