How are you people this good...

[FroggerMeister]

I'm having issues on the 2nd Pantheon (and can't even get to the third cuz of God Tamer and the damm Trial of the Fool) and everyone talking in the discussions are either talking about how hard the 4th and 5th Pantheons are or finshed and are complaining about how they wish there was more content. I REALLY want to play this game to completion but dear lord is the hard stuff a challenge...

Sticking to the spot always works for me when fighting Nosk.

Brooding Mawlek takes a bit of work to dodge its orange goo and constant jumping.

Uumuu, though.. no, just... no.

i wanted my 100% achievements back.. so i gone in tryhard mode :D

and:
1) the right charms for much dps+survival(grimm troupe bird help me alot :D), so bossfights didnt take that long..
2) dont get hit, and if you get hit: dont try to heal yourself mid-fight (its not worth, you will get again most of the time) so only heal at the end of a bossfight. i had the feeling that pantheon 3+ requiere that you have to play all bosses nearly flawless, because there was no room for healings most of the time
3) learn boss patterns, do maybe the hall of gods first (first+second version) for bosses at which you are not that good (saves time on redo the whole pantheon)
4) patience is very important, better to avoid more than needed (timewise) than take a hit because of greed
5) dont panic on low health or get nervous overall
6) personaly i did a short break after every harder boss (savezone or start button) to calm down and stay focused

ps: play alot more of this type of genre and other similar games helps too

i'm verry happy that achievements not for iron mode too.. or achievements for "do all pantheons with bindings"(second one for all gold) or "do all the hall of gods at radiant difficulty"
because those things i never will have :D

Oh, i do all those things (except the no-healing-mid-fight, you actually can heal in a lot of the fights in the right moments, although not in all of them). Still can't get past Uumu in the third pantheon. I guess some brains just don't work that way or something. I'll keep trying, i spouse, but my hopes are pretty low.

[Kamuel]

if i start to heal myself midfight, even in those spots if will fail.. this way my goal is: flawless and i stay focused even on a hit, without breaking my own movement. but i guess its how you learned it. but for me its harder if i try to heal in a spot where i normaly do something else. for an example: if the same pattern happens 10times and 9 times i jump up and dash and one time i try to heal.. if f*** it up so it hurts more then its good and on top i get out of my routine, because i try to get the heal done + greed on top instead of cancel the heal if its too close

and for uumuu: the fight took ages for me.. because i waited for the nearly perfect small ones from which i cant get hit too.. tactic worked fine in p3... but p5 with that special addition it was alot of pain and 2 times pause midfight, because i became way too nervous :D

With healing - hey, if it works for you - good, more power to you) I am usually fine with keeping an eye on my health and soul levels and healing in specific moment. Not all fights have those, though, for example, in pantheon 3 God Tamer is the biggest ♥♥♥♥♥ to try to heal during the fight. I saw in other people's gameplay that its possible, but didn't manage it myself.

With Uumu - i can't seem to judge the trajectory of the explosive jellys right. They miss Uumu by a millimeter more often than not, or just fly not in the direction in which i seemingly hit them. Or something else. It doesn't help that i have a little bit of trouble with regular Uumu attacks too (a little bit, but every bit counts). So yeah, this fight is ridiculously hard for me personally.

I did the two first pantheons, but can't access the third due to the trial of fools, which I just tried and died to the godmaster... again. I'm seriously considering cheating at this point.

The fact that there are already videos of the final boss of the DLC hitless astounds me. I’ve personally been stuck on the third Pantheon for hours. (I can reliably make it about 75% of the way through, but damn the back half of it is rough)

Same. I actually got so frustrated that I took a break from the Godhome stuff for little while, did the new flower quests(I think I got all of them?) and finally beat Nightmare King(wow does it feel satisfying to beat him for the first time!). After that, I went back to Godhome and actually reached Sly twice, but I always lose too much hp in the last 3 battles leading up to him.

At this point, I've just started practicing in the Hall of Gods, even doing what Ascended battles I can. And can I just say, some of these Ascended bosses are insane? Even with Strength, Ascended Flukemarm's Flukefeys are not going down easily. Ascended Collector is hell, what with his Primal Aspids and the like. I don't even think I'm going to touch Radiant mode, though I did get surprisingly far on Radiant Broken Vessel.

So far I’ve manage Radiant Gruz Mother (absolute hell) and Mantis Lords(not actually too bad) not looking forward to some of the oher ones though

Okay, I've done a few of the Radiant bosses now; False Knight, Hornet Protector, Mantis Lords, and Crystal Guardian.
I'm not sure if I'll do Radiant Gruz Mother, that one seems really tough. Kudos for managing it though.

I'm planning on doing this quests new content, who were the other flower options?

Pale Lady(Queen's Gardens), Eternal Emilitia(City of Tears), Oro(Kingdom's Edge), Godseeker(Junkpit), and possibly others.

If you've already done the quest, you can get new flowers from the grave in Queen's Gardens where you delivered the original flower.

Thanks but does giving it to the godseeker cause the new ending?

Thanks! I probably would have given up, but I refused to be beaten by the easiest boss in the game, no matter how much harder they made it.
