Stupid boss

[BadMedium]

The chick in the soulscape, is it just me or are parry timing's completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ borked suddenly? I dunno if a little leprachaun came in and tinkered with my L1 button or something, but timing parries are suddenly ♥♥♥♥♥. Are the triple spears frame-flipping-perfect? Seriously! The first one looks"bigger" but guess what, the hitbox isn't! FFS. And two thirds of your talismans don't connect on the second phase, THAT ♥♥♥♥ is annoying dude. Cool idea in theory, annoying in practice.

edit: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ there's a third phase. OK! I've got to be the idiot here, what am I missing?

edit 2: ok, I'm not even mad at this point, just confused. This boss is absurd. The third phase is absurd. I'm not even able to progress, nor use my azure flyer until I beat this boss? Someone tell me I'm missing something here.

The first phase should be fairly easy for you at this point if you're at third, and its purpose is just to introduce attacks.

Second phase is the most annoying one because you're trying to find the real one amidst the clones. Focus on parrying and attack the clones that are near you, when you find the real boss smack her a few times, then attack a talisman. The talisman will detonate and deal damage even if she disappears in this fight, all you have to do is attach it. For this reason I recommend "Full Control". You can nail her with a massive 5 charge blast.

Third phase. Parry, parry, parry. The best time to deal mega damage to the boss is after she performs her "spirit bomb" attack and you fall; you can angle to the middle of the screen and begin absolutely beating on her as you fall, again "Full Control" is great here.

Hope these tips help.

For the second phase, you need to hit the clones just once to tell whether they are real or not. When you hit her and she doesn't disappear it means that's really her, and you can immediately go for a talisman explosion. I recommend saving all your arrows for the third phase so you can shoot it down as quickly as possible since it is by far the hardest. This boss is also probably top 5 hardest bosses in the game at least, so it's normal to struggle for quite a bit.
