How the hell am I supposed to beat Neo Khidr?

[NABN00B]

It's just simply impossible to avoid getting hit by all those missiles (except maybe if I'd slow the game down to frame-to-frame speed but I would never go that far). This whole fight is just an unfair joke..

Unlike the rest of the game, you can't just get stronger and overpower the content. Also it's balanced to require a rather high amount of skill.

But plenty of people have beaten it, so we know that it's not impossible.

There may be a video of the kill on YouTube or something, if you wanna check.

FIrst of all, use Spellsword's enhanced sword wall ability as much as possible, then, whenever you can safely hit (normally between waves), hit as much as you can while spending as most mp as you can in Sword Walls. Try to focus on dodging as most as you can, enduring and taking the minimum number of hits possible is definitely the top priority. Hope this helps and good luck!

yeah, these remix bosses are frustrating. wait till you get to alexander the iv, you will want to pull you hair off.
if you get past the frustration and start to figure things out they are beatable.

the only tip I can give you for khidr is, learn the pattern of his projectiles.
I dodged his regular attacks with the least amount of jumps if possible, standing on a platform and getting a few hits in between.
watch out for his 4-way attack so you can quickly figure if it goes clockwise or counter clockwise and move accordingly. you will have to use very precise jumps for that. use the other platform if you can't do it with just jumps, just be wary that you lose some time by landing and jumping again.

If you stay near the lower corners of the room you can dodge the random spray rather easily. With the spirals you just need to jump over him or run underneath him, Vault runes help with that. You basically just have to play things as safe as possible.

For these bosses, reading/ watching walkthroughs can only get you so far. It's a kind of mental battle you just need to keep at it. This guy took me around 30 mins of failing but slowly beating my high score on HP damage. A few tips from me..

• Don't be hasty with melee attacks. Dealing damage is no problem with the enhanced Blade Wall so use it whenever you have the MP.
  
• While it is spraying fire randomly, just stick to the ground and only sneak melee hits when you can.
  
• Generally don't even touch the side platforms.
  
• Use the Sprint Rune dash to cross to the other side quickly. This is important when it shoots a spiral that you are heading the right direction (clockwise/ anti-clockwise).
  
• When it does shoot a spiral you'll need to dodge differently depending on your location and the direction of the shot. These are:
  1. If you have enough time to go under him (right side-heading clockwise/ left-anti)- dash on the floor to other side and jump as high as you can over the last few.
  2. If it starts the spiral on your side and there is no time- you'll need to go over and around the boss. Jump as high as you can then dash over or use a down attack to bounce of him. It's a little trickier going over him as you can go too fast into the shots ahead.

So in short it only has 2 attacks with the spiral one being the most annyoing for me. As long as you know whether to go under or over him it'll be dead in no time.
I tried my best to explain, I hope it helps! :)

This forum topic explains those bosses pretty well http://steamcommunity.com/app/241600/discussions/0/630799997850634877/

yah this boss is impossilby hard

[NABN00B]

I'm over 50 tries now but I haven't been able to dodge the attack where I'm supposed to jump over him, not even once! There's just no time to do it (or even to realise that is the strategy to use next)

Timing is very challenging, you'll need to use all your jumps and then down attack on the very edge of him for extra height and that's before even going over him. Just remember that luck plays a role too as his move choice is random. If you are lucky, he would only use this move 1-2 times so you can just save your HP for taking these hits. If you remain on the offensive it really helps shorten the battle time.

As I mentioned above, it's always easier said then done so just keep at it until you get that skill/ luck balance = win :)

I've done it! 2 hp left.. Fu devs I'm pro :D muhahaha

I just beat this boss yesterday. I don't even want to think about what the rest of them will do. Especially since alexander is a pain already. Also, spent about an hour and a half straight trying to beat him. It really is a war of attrition. The RNG is strong with this one.

[Ackranome]

I find Neo to be the hardest of all the bosses because it is a super long fight with mimimal error margin. His pattern isnt set and you have to really anticipate a lot of things.

Don't forget that Neo Kidhr's projectiles have large amounts of hitboxes to make sure you'll get hit by it even if you try to avoid them. whats harder was your character Lady McCarthy has haste which causes you to be very fast that you will run into the projectiles. And most of the time Neo Kidhr will spam spiral attacks even at the beginning which is most likely impossible to avoid and most likely die. However, you can fight him again and again as you like so you don't have to worry about dying anyways. This is a challenging boss so don't give up until you are good at reacting you controls properly. Take a note that be careful about attacking kidhr for mp since your haste can contact him which will cause you to take damage. That is all I can say since this boss is so difficult.
