Dark Fact Tip

[Dramamine]

Suggestion if you're struggling with Dark Fact.

It seems to be based on either your refresh rate/resolution.
I run at 2560x1440 @144 normally and I was getting utterly annihilated by the amount of fire coming out, as well as having the weird bug where you don't move as fast going in certain directions.

I manually lowered my PC's resolution and refresh rate to their lowest amounts and it helped significantly. I would also make sure you have the game at the lowest resolution/refresh rate as well just in case. There was much less fireball spam and I was able to move at the proper speed I saw in YT videos. The boss is still a pain but it's way more manageable and should make Time Attack/Nightmare runs less agonizing.

From what i've read, it's tied to refresh rate. I don't think it's tied to resolution.

Whats the point of a nightmare run if its not agonizing?

Well, there's difficult by design, and then there's difficult due to unintended game behavior.

Indeed, having a framerate set too high makes the boss much harder (same for the worm boss in the first dungeon).

OMG THANK YOU! I was getting absolutely annihilated at 144hz like wtf, and then I changed it to 60hz and beat him 3rd try on normal difficulty...

when the final boss blinks really really fast

60 or 144 doesn't seem to really change the fact movement speed is variable on this fight in particular. Something is broken somewhere. Easiest way to see it is try running alongside the pink bolts. Right is slower for some reason.

You have to cap your FPS in addition to your refresh rate. Higher than 60 FPS seems to break moving up or to the right in particular for... some reason, in addition to letting him machinegun fireballs at you.
