Cala Maria unfair or am I missing something?
A seemingly undodgable stun attack + tons of projectiles onscreen? Is there a trick or what?

to avoid it? no..but try to stay on the end of the screen and shake it off as fast as possible.

Just not feeling it. This boss feels incredibly unfair, and every death definitely feels like the games fault. Meh.

Yeah, the stun will definitely put you in some unavoidable situations. I have no idea why it's a mechanic.

Stay all the way on the back, that should give you a lot of time to shrink and dodge.

in that phase i always use my bombs on the eels and the normal shot for her, in the last phase is pretty much the same... just prepare yourself for being stuned (avoiding the top-bottom floor or the bullets)

also shes thick af so she can be unfair everytime

I can dodge fine, just not when i'm completely immobile.
Stun moves are just bad game design imo, nobody likes it.

Then I don't know what to say, mash faster or something, her early phases are more annoying than the later. I found it fair given how slow the projectiles are. She's in fact my favorite boss of the game.

Kill the eels first, better with bombs, the attack head and repeat. Stay in the left zone off the screen and evade the projectile trayectory in the same moment you see It, not when they are close to you. Its a bit tricky but not unfair.

Got to the third phase finally, this is even worse. What a terrible boss.

You can dodge the petrification by getting close to her. In the last phase I think the petrification is unavoidable but you can just position yourself in a way where it won't screw you over.

Shes the only unfair boss out of all of them. Esp on Expert.

You can dodge it in the last phase by getting close to her too, it makes dodging the spike poles harder though. And yes OP the mermaid is complete bs, you'll get there eventually

you can completely avoid getting stunned if you are very close to her head above her. if you hit her with the bombs then you can even attack her while she's doing the stun move - you need to feel the length between the petrifying attacks.

Can't wait until you get to world 4 and get to the derby - foreground constantly obstructing screen is much worse.

On the second phase with the eel spam there is technically a safespot on the top right corner of the screen where you can avoid the medusa gaze.
