Fuxi and Nuwa genuinely make me wanna quit.

This is probably the worst boss I have ever fought, and I have fought against Bed of Chaos.

I can't actually begin to describe how mad right now. I've been trying to fight this boss for maybe 30 minutes and... I have no words. I actually have no words. But... What is even worse, is the fact that there are actual REAL people defending this boss. Yes, you heard me, there are people, not aliens, people, who are actually saying that this boss is fair and fun. I'm sorry... You mean to tell me that two bosses attacking you at the same time is "fair"?

1st phase is managble, pretty easy. But second phase...??? What exactly am I supposed to even do? She can attack simultaneously as he can? How exactly am I supposed to deal with that??? Wtf am I seriously supposed to do?

It's the snakes especially that just make no sense? But none of it makes sense neither. I can't actually begin to describe how just mad I am at this game and the developers. Talk about artificial difficulty, but I guess people will defend everything that is difficult no matter what. Some game could make a boss with 10 phases and all of their attacks one shot you, and there would still be people defending it and calling it a fair fight.

I am fed up with people defending bad game design, it actually just annoys me so much and makes me hate humans. You will never be able to convince me this boss is not unfair. It is such a garbage and unfair fight, it's not even funny.

No, but seriously? Wtf. This boss left me speechless. This is insane?? This is just not okay... Wtf is this??? I'm sorry, what??? What THE ACTUAL F*CK IS THIS????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Honestly this boss was pretty easy, get good.

It's also funny how you make like 3 threads to complain about different bosses with the same attitude, perhaps these games are really not meant for you :D

[Seisachtheia]

My man. The game uses the "Difficult" tag on its Steam store page. Being surprised that the game is difficult, and escalates in difficulty is a strange thing to complain about. The whole point of the game is to undertake these challenges and get better and better.

her attacks are just projectiles that should be pretty easy to read and parry if you've gotten this far into the game. Make sure that you're facing the direction they are coming from when you parry. The game also tries to remind you of this in phase 1 when fuxi does his claw drag attack. Their attacks are not simultaneous in phase 2, there's a rhythm. If you're finding it hard to deal with, you might be playing too aggressively in phase 2- because the game allowed you to do so in phase 1.
The snakes are pretty weird for sure. The long line of snakes doesn't cover the whole stage so if you want to play really safe you can just run to the edge and you won't have to worry about it. The alternate columns of snakes you'll just have to try and play within the safe spots. There is a window in which you can dodge through the snakes too, but you might need to take a few attempts to learn it.
Keep trying, you'll get it.

It's one of the fairest gank bosses in a game like this i know tbh, outshining pretty much every similar From boss, including O&S. Their attacks are actually timed in a way you can absolutely dodge / parry both in fell swoops, including projectiles. Take your time and keep some distance from brocat while siscat does her snake things. It's a toughie but definitely manageable and really well designed imo. You're obviously too emotional about this stuff, take a deep breath, keep a cool head and the patterns _will_ emerge, i promise you!

While I agree that they're overreacting, this boss is cheaper than Eigong and, personally more difficult because of it. Get off your high horse

It's not technically 2 bosses, more like 1.5 bosses as only 1 is ever targetable. it would be like if Nuwa was invisbible and F*xi just summoned projectiles every now and then.

There are patterns to what attacks come your way. It's how you eventually react that will determine if you can punish their attacks once you counter them.

If you still have trouble, just look up a video of someone doing the fight and you'll feel like a p*ss baby hopping around in a wet sock. I think it's better if you change the difficulty and figure it out vs looking up the encounter to be presented with how you counter all of the bosses attack.

Probably the hardest part of the second stage is the moves with the dagger support.

But as others commented above - they are not random. You can time them.
Normal hits can be parried in sequence.

When the boss does the red overhead jump - jump, parry two daggers and immediately dash to the side. You should avoid damage.

I am sorry I genuinely wanted to troll a troll here, if you follow the threads you'll see that this guy likes to start these threads about all bosses and I wanted to drop in a casual "git gud" joke, perhaps I did not consider others will read it too.

These games require high levels of patience and persistence and I respect everyone who has the will to come back to the game the next day and perform better. Regarding the boss, I really don't have much of an opinion because of all bosses in the game I managed to beat these the quickest (honestly), maybe it's because the attack patterns very quite similar to bosses in Hollow Knight and my brain found it easy to adapt to them, while other focus on new mechanics like parrying.

Odd people are calling it cheap, The second phase doesn't change much granted the attacks can through you off depending on the move in question.

[BPoole]

When the daggers come in tandum with the crimson attack, parry the first dagger, parry the second dagger, but hold down the parry button to start charging your parry that can block crimson attacks (I forget the name of it). This will prevent Fu xi from landing the crimson attack that puts fire on the ground and causes you to take more damage when you're running around to dodge the snakes. The parry will also stun Fu xi, which lets you get a bunch of hits in. I would usually do a triple attack, and then use a 5 Qi Talisman right as he become unstunned, which will stun him again and let you hit him with more combos or charged attacks. You could also put the jade that lets you do the charge attack quicker when standing still and allow you to get 3 charged attacks on him during the second stun.

Stick to it. It took me 2 hours of grinding to take them down on my first playthrough. Months later on my second attempt to take on Eigong for real I defeated the twins on the first try. thanks to muscle memory.

Always keep in mind that their attacks are coordinated and not random, so there's always an opening.
