eviterno is absurd

[Gefafawhisp]

I have played through the game on stream and it was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ easy, I'm playing the first again on switch alongside and it is remarkably more accessible, the bosses were all simple. Now I reach eviterno and it's a joke, I have seen difficulty spikes before but this takes it to another level. I cannot heal as there is not enough time, you get locked in a cycle of trying to heal, his swirl attack can be unavoidable depending on where he starts it. Just spent over 2 hours fighting him and got absolutely no where, never come across anything like this in a game before. Dark souls 1-3, bloodborne and sekiro are all easy compared to this fight, WHAT IS GOING ON HERE

The problem with this boss is that the game doesn't train you for it. The entire game you are way ahead of bosses because of your high damage and the fact that you can tank all the damage by healing. Then they throw you Eviterno who doesn't stop attacking and doesn't let you heal except for a pair of movements. He also has these attacks which are not meant to parry but to dodge in order to have time to attack him.
Also the flashyness in his animations doesn't help, you can definetly learn his moveset and it will become easy to read, but it's frustrating as hell at the beginning.
It also sucks having to abuse mechanics like timestop flasks just to not get mad about it.

I think they could've made a much better job with bosses and enemies, so hopefuly in the future with patches and stuff the game will improve.

It's nutty how they have designed it. Not to mention his first phase is incredibly easy and the cutscenes/transitions during the fight are painfully long and unskippable. It's a nightmare of a time atm. Also the input for DOWN+B for secondary magic is regularly not working

I beat the boss on my third try with the rapiers, and wirthout using prayers.

To quote dark souls fans. Git gud

I figured it with rapiers + the figure that let you loss just one perfect dextery counter when hit + the resonance that fills your perfect dextery counter when taking a flask + time stop prayer. No blocks, just dodging, worked for me.

I dash-strike him with rapiers every time he about to attack, if you do this with a correct timing the fight will be a cakewalk. It's not an easy fight in general, but that exact strat allow me to beat him with blades only without getting hit.

ok I will git gud tomorrow, just came out of nowhere

Tried fighting him like Chrisantia from Blasphemous 1 got waxed.

Used the alchemist/pillager resonance and quick hits with Rugeo al Alba and blood wheel, beat him first try.

[sunt viu, exist]

with dual blades he was doable but I still died a lot and I was amazed at the difficulty spike - first boss that was actually hard - all others were nothing compared to his second phase - reminded me of crisanta second phase in the first game

[my butt is erect]

Nope, nothing is undodgeable at all. Dash at the correct time to get through the large oval attack if you can't run out in time.

The diffculty of this boss is good. But was surprising because the rest of the game is far too easy.

[domuinor2]

The first phase is just a joke, the second phase, my God is WOW, the last boss in Blasphemous 1 was a joke(every phases), this is the only boss I'm having really hard times

That^^^I have 2 joypads and I can't pull them off regularly with none of them.
Edit: Full fervor mind you.

I would, I had someone come into my chat and told me they had mained rapiers the whole game and he was easy. Seems the trick is, don't jump or block but dodge dodge dodge, you can also attack while dodging ALA blasphemous one when you have the rapiers.

I can believe it seeing the upgrades of that weapon, they end up dealing a ton of damage.
I was using veredicto and the bossfight was close to unplayable because the weapon hits so slow Eviterno is already hitting you before you end your attack animation.
Had to switch to Ruego del Alba to do something.

[jacobcapra]

just get good mate. He is very different than most bosses, but not unlike Cristana from Blasphemous 1. Which makes sense from a lore perspective, since Cristana is sitting there dead in the room. She also was humanoid and rather than jumping, dodging, or moving to avoid her attacks, you primarily had to parry. She was also much faster and actually had combos, just like Eviterno

It took me like 10-15 tries to beat him. In the world of difficult games, that's nothing, like 15-20 minutes. I died like 200 times to Melania in Elden Ring. Now THAT's a difficulty spike.
