How to dodge Pure Vessel?

[Wabbit]

It seems to be one of the hardest boss so far and I can't even beat him without taking a hit.
Everytime, it tries to do the pillar ground attack. It's really hard for me to dodge those because they can give you less than a millisecond to react, and it's 100% RNG.

Watch videos, it's not rng and is completely doable.

The pillars appear at fixed positions relative to him. Before they appear, he jumps in a parabolic arc, so you can tell where he's going to land. Use that to be at the right distance from him.

If instead of jumping, he teleports into the air, you ran too far away from him and he does that to close the gap. Be sure not to be so far away that he's no longer on the screen.

Hope that helps.

The pillar ground attack seems to be one of the hardest attack for dodging. I shadow dashed when PV is about the hit his nail on the ground and I still get hit for 80% of the time.
It's mostly just my luck that the pillars didn't hit me.
PV seems to be harder than the NKG boss fight and he's the only enemy that is keeping me from beating the final patheon. (I didn't reached Radiance yet so I can't say if she's going to be harder)

I already watched the guides about the Pure Vessel and still struggling for weeks.

I can already tell the pillar attack coming and I'm still getting hit by them. It's probably just my slow reaction time and I even walked to the pillar because I can't even tell which position the pillars would be set ahead of time.

Very interesting to know that being off-screen would make the pillar attack more difficult to dodge. Thanks.

In my run I had to use shape of unn and sprint master, you might find varying degress of success with different charm layouts.

Jumping helps for the pillar attack since you have more space to position yourself. When you see him in the air just jump.

This is a video I made for PV. It’s not complete RNG. I also show the charms I used at the beginning and end. Excuse the frame rate, my computer struggles to support the recording software. https://youtu.be/zvmCABt4lSM
