definitely the worst boss in the game, did not enjoy that fight at all. hitboxes were awful and the aoe snakes and projectiles are just annoying as ♥♥♥♥. hopefully they fix those hitboxes for future player because they are BAD rn.

What's the problem with the hitboxes? I've seen it mentioned a few times, but I didn't experience any problems with the hitboxes. Is it when he drags back his claw, that it's a problem? I just turn around so that I'm facing the claw coming towards me, and it's easy to parry.

I do agree that the second phase gets kind of chaotic, with all the snakes and the extra knives.

I think op is trying to say fu-xi.
Using bow to stop brother's action while the snake comes out.

The drag claw was the most easy attack once i learned its timing.

He probably talks about his normal attacks. I also got hit by something i thought i should have dodged. But i quickly realise what was the problem.

The attack kept hitting me because i was facing the wrong side.

After wailing at Fu-xi i would usually stay inside his model, sometimes in the back of it. And it make me think i should turn to his back because i was slightly behind him. WRONG. Even when slighly behind him the correct way to block is to parry as you would be in front of him. Other hint. Dont stand inside him, stay in front of him for safety.

Now, as for second phase. The double knife and red attack combo. Bow can stun him as metioned earlier. Alhough sometimes he doesnt react. But the safiest way to avoid that combo is to run away from him when he starts preparing it. Jump and parry the two swords in the air and then dash away from him when he comes in. Worked every time for me.

The sideways from the bottom snake attack. Double jump above it but be prepared to parry in the air an attack from Fu-xi.
The from side to side top snake attack, if i noticed it correctly, you need to just run to the other side, i think they dont show up at the furthest space.

The snake attack from above that comes in waves one after the other. On other post one player said is to stay still and Fu-xi attacks after parrying it will shove you in a safe spot, then you need to time the dodge for the other snake. But honestly, i rather take a hit from them and then succesfully parry his attack.

It is a hard fight and i loved everypart of it. If you didnt beat Jin yet, its a nice idea to do him first. For me he was much easier and he surely gave me training in blocking multples attacks and dodging stage hazards.

none of it is bad, it's just has a certain dance to it that you didn't learn.

What you can do is actually parry the second knife and keep holding it to charge the Unbounded Counter. This is something I only learned recently, that you can charge a parry into an Unbounded Counter. Takes a bit to get used to it, but strong if you can do it.

Did that once accidentally in one of my attempts. Parried the first one, and then Unbound the red and the second sword one at the same time. Tried to recreate it but it was not consistent. I think the Jade of non stop Unbond counter could help in that situation.

Every boss in this game is easy if you *think* about the fight and use every ability to your advantage. Remember the bow cancels out a bosses attack, so if they're charging up for something big, either unbounded counter it, or shoot it with the bow. Make sure you're using your talisman whenever it makes the most sense, and learn the attack patterns so you can perfectly parry every attack. I also make sure to use the "precise parry does damage" jade because you do it so much, it helps greatly.

i beat it first try, i learned the dance immediately i just didnt enjoy the fight, nice try tho mr skill issue

This boss gave me a lot of trouble until I learned that there's a very simple pattern to follow. I'm afraid you'll have to find it yourself, but to put it simply a lot of Nuwa's attacks are scripted to follow an exact timing alongside Fuxi's. You'll rarely be hammered by attacks from Nuwa that prevent you from parrying his combos, for balance's sake.
Focus on defense, only attacking when you don't see any magic spells coming your way, until he lets out a crimson attack. You'll always have *just enough* time to perform a counter and lay into him during his momentary stun. Just stay calm, rinse and repeat until you've got him.

There is enough time to parry both knives and start charging counter, and parry with it, and it is consistent.

On a topic of hitboxes, this particular boss hit me numerous times with his shoulder while slammimg the ground. Learned this is not a safe place to be, but hitbox is garbage anyway.

I get what OP means on the hitboxes and the frustration around them - you can be either level with Fuxi, or behind him, and still be hit by some of the attacks in a way that looks like they shouldn't hit. Particularly on the second phase, which I've been bashing my head against for the last couple of hours...
