Parrying the Final Boss?

[Mavrickindigo]

This final boss is stupid, of course, but I can get to the meteor attack, but I can't seem to parry it properly. I hit the action button but then there's no target on the second meteor and I just get hit.

What am I doing wrong?

You have to press the action button when the two circles immediately cover each other. The timing is pretty odd. It took me a few tries to get used to the timing. You may want to see a video of the timing if you don't get it in a few tries

Alternately if you are truly getting the first one properly and the reticles don't show up for the second, I wonder if you are having dual inputs for some reason? Like the action button is pressing twice. Because if you miss time it, the reticles disappear. Maybe something to look into

Do you think framerate has anything to do with it? I'm playing at 120 FPS

I know framerate can be finiky on other games with QTEs... I only played on 60 FPS so I couldn't say definitively. Worth a shot to cap it at 60 FPS.

There's an issue with charging a spin dash over 60 FPS where only some of the button presses are recognized, so in general I think it's wise to cap it at 60 regardless. Hopefully a fix comes for that soon

for some reason the next day I was able to do it much easier. Not sure why, but I hear some versions of the game might have a bug too.

Overall these bosses are just so bad.
