You take double damage but OMG YOU HAVE EXTRA CHARMS EQUIPPED!

You were clicking too fast on a charm that you didn't have enough slots for. So it equipped it anyway and Overcharmed you. Now you take double damage from enemies but you're using more charm slots.

Ah but this is a game about not TAKING damage. You can beat most of it without suffering a single hit. Every boss attack can be avoided. So if you're someone who never even gets hit then you can overcharm to have a much stronger character.

Wait, overcharming is a thing? I thought Sulabra was just talking about challenging yourself with fewer charms.

Failed champion, ground wave + wall of balls from ceiling, sometimes this is impossible to avoid. Just unfair rng.

If you refer to its second form (I don't remember anything falling from the ceiling in its first fight), then if you have the shadow dash, you can avoid this damage too.

netvl, Exactly, it's mean this attack doesn't dodgeable in any circumstances as other bosses, and you need certain upgrade

Even with shaadow dash i've had instances in that fight where i'm forced to shadow dash through a couple of rocks and land inside another rock. The only solution would have been to predict an rng jump towards me and go underneath. butt given my position it was just as likely that he would simply jump up and land in the same spot. Failed Champion is my only complaint about game mechanics so far.

Don't forget the lag that boss fight causes.

Failed Champion you say? Taking no damage? K.

If you're fighting the end game optional bosses without using every tool at your disposable, that's your fault.

This is not end game of the boss, and you can beat him whenever you want and can reach it. About video, well done. Max nail lvl, shadow cloak, sword wave, quick charge (don't recall charm names), yeah, definitely have something to be proud of.

Can does not mean should. The dream bosses unlock the true ending by opening the way to White Palace. They're definitely end game material.
finished the game 100% two time...didn't even know that overcharmed was a thing :o
Thanks for the tip !

Actually you can hit the falling balls though and can even use it for more damage to said boss but I haven't tested hitting it upwards before.
Interesting :tgrin:
