How the hell do you beat Mother as Lost?
Even with a Brimstone, Drone Fly, and Dead Cat (9 Lives) i still can't beat this b**ch! I manage to kill her first form but then she keeps throwing projectiles everywhere and eventually i get killed. Can't possibly dodge everything.

What am i supposed to do?!

The Lost has always been a "glass cannon" character. Sure, free devil deals. Sure, his Holy Mantle makes him super good when cruising the floors, one room at a time. But when it comes to a long, drawn-out fight against a boss, you either need good items or some serious skill to come out on top.

Try to unlock the Algiz rune, it'll give you 20 secs of defense. Basically, most of Mother's attack patterns are bullet-based, so Psy Fly / The Soul / Drone Fly will help you. Try to get as much DPS as you can. Do some Mother runs with easier charaters to get used to the fight.

Try to get a library too; Book of Shadows + 4.5 Volt is a boss-killer, if you have good enough DPS.

And of course: practice makes perfect. Keep trying, champ!

mother's bullet patterns can be easily dodged once you learn them

You should try beating Mother with other characters so you get more experience with how Mother behaves.

It is pretty possible to dodge all the projectiles once you get familiar with the patterns, but if you can you may try looking for defensive items, like psy fly, bot-fly, lil dumpy, and the list goes on, basicaly a matter of luck to find them, but makes a huge diference :resmile:
for her spinning bullet hell attack go into a corner (the one farthest away from her) and dodge left and right. the ramming attack has a splash on the side of the screen that it starts, and it always does that side then the other one then slams in the middle, making it a perfect opportunity to do extra damage to her (you can place bombs to slow her down AND do lots of damage)
you can also of course just get a i'm drowsy pill and forget about dodging
if all else fails, gnawed leaf
