Why is the bloat so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awful?

[Coal Shoveler]

How badly was McMillan bullied as a child to put such a ♥♥♥♥ boss in the game?

dude bloat is easy in comparison to most repentance bosses

[Seftak]

Someone did not do the "april fool" challenge i see.

[COMPANION❤CUBE]

Instead of making fun of dud help him.

Anyways, attack him mostly from up cuz he can't shoot brimstone up and mostly try to avoid dmg when not being on top of him, attack from long range, he is gonna piss on you if u get near

Bloat is considered a pain by many, what the user above me said is true, but more specifically; dont be directly below him or to his sides, so i would reccomend bombing him so you can stay out of his brimstone range, or homing tears

R u wizard hat is good to shoot in 2 sides to avoid being in his + brimstone radius

Yeah this thing is secretly very good, and if you find a moment to gear some enemies it can double your dps

It's broken in both directions depending on context; most of the game assumes that your shots travel orthogonally, so diagonal shots can break a lot a things but losing the ability to shoot in the "normal" directions can also screw you over.

Bloat is one of the most fair bosses in this game. He can be difficult for new players, but he will never do anything ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ or undodgeable, unlike most other enemies. Dunno why you still find him challenging after almost 400 hours.

He is my favorite boss in the Flash version. There, Bloat is much less lazy than he is in Rebirth. He constantly jumps around, which makes the fight very dynamic and satisfying.

"Don't be directly below him" you walk in the room and get lazered it's cheap af

Never happened to me in my life, never seen it happen to anyone else

Because you have to track 4 things at once and it is easy to confuse Bloat's eyes with your Familiars. If you have flight, he is usually pretty easy because you don't have to worry about the Creep.

That happens exactly once, then every future time you hold a sideways key during the splash panel when you're walking into the depths 1 boss room every time afterwards.

repentance bosses are extremely easy as well

Not quite as wrong as you should be; at least some of the difficulty people are complaining about is because they're new and so people aren't as used to them as they are previous ones. In particular, Baby Plum shoots a lot of bullets but lets you focus completely on dodging until she goes away on her own.

All of them are more bearable than delirium 4sure but some of them might need some tweaking:
-Bumbino has way too many full-heart damage attacks and the rock-fall is way too random
-Colostomia should be a bit easier. Imho she is a bit too difficult for a 1.5 chapter boss.
-Visage is fine but some of her attacks are purple instead of red #plsfix
