Broken Vessel Boss... Help?

[Andrea]

Hey everyone, I need a bit of help. I'm stuck on the Broken Vessel Boss. I have 25 charms, one nail upgrade, and 7 health and I'm still dying horribly.

I haven't had a problem with any other boss in the game except for Soul Master. Took me like, forever to beat.

Should I equip certain charms for this fight? Any strategies? Am I missing any upgrades? Help would be appreciated.

the defenders crest will keep the ghosts off you.
quick focus, if you have it, will also help you heal.

other than that, learn his patterns.

Defenders Crest + Spore Shroom = gg ez

You can do it now, but I'd probably wait and get another nail upgrade or 2 before taking on broken vessel. He's not the easiest boss, and is, imo, one of the more reaction based fights. What part of the fight is giving you trouble?

Edit: defender's crest and spore shroom help immensely with the summons, but if your having trouble with the patterns they won't help as much.

Biggest tip I can give if you want to beat him now is to not jump unless you need to to dodge. When you're in the air, it's a lot harder to dodge when he jumps at you, so only jump when he's doing something else if possible.

Also, wait until he's committed to a jump before you dash away. If you dash too soon he'll adjust his aim to where you dash to and land on you anyway.

I have no idea where else to go/who else to beat/what to do next.... so I thought I couldn't skip him. If I do skip him, where could I go?

When he rears back, get ready to jump, if he hops slightly before doing an animation, just run under him. If he does the slam, move just enough to the side to avoid the attack. This will put you out of the way of any blobs and will give you the opportunity to hit him 3-4 times for free. other than that, if you don't have the crest, just kill ghosts on sight. they only have 1 hp and are predictable. also, quick focus is a godsend in most of these later fights
