so how do you kill the lost kin?
this is the second time im fighting him but for whatever reason he does not die and it feels like i have been hiting him for hours and yet he still lives :steamfacepalm:

also there is that other boss that have no mange to kill whom i think is some how rigged you get to fight him after you return to the lady with 200 dream tokens , he seem unkillable as well

Revek is not a boss, man. He attacks you when you dream nail the ghosts. The only way to "defeat him" is to dream nail all the ghosts. You don't get anything from doing so anyway, so just ignore him.

In regards to Lost Kin, I have to ask what your stats are like. I'd recomend having the Pure nail and at least 8 masks. A tip I can give is using the charm Defenders Crest. It kills all the balloons as they spawn, so you can focus on Lost Kin. Lost Kin is also a late game boss, so you can just go back to him if you feel ready. Judging by your achivements, your not ready for this boi. He has something like 1250 health and I'm guessing you do 13 per hit.

Lost Kin is very easy to stagger. Just attack him very aggressively and you'll have plenty of opportunities to heal. Quickslash is great (more staggers), as is Fragile Strength (it's a dream fight so you won't break it if you lose)
Also note that if you equip the Shaman Stone, he'll take about 1/15th of his total health in damage from Shade Soul if you already have it.
If you're not using the Defenders Crest, make sure to only attack the ghosts/balloons while Lost Kin is recovering from his previous attack; it's quite easy to get hit by a Dash Slash if you kill a ghost by slashing up and then falling down.

weaversong + glowing womb + grimmchild + defenders crest and use crystal heart at the top corners if it gets too hard

fragile strength & quickslash, as it's a dream boss. Defenders crest +spore shroom for aoe against orange ghosts when healing. If you don't have quickslash yet, use nail arts.

wow that is random, because i just killed him with sharpened nail and 7 masks. he has like 7 or 8 phases(1 phase=1 stagger)

i used sprintmaster, thorns of agony, spore shroom and grubsong. Difficult to me was to dodge through the adds, I tried to kill them as quickly as possible. you can heal by going on the other side of the room, while he just did a "longer" attack(like the flying dash or the stomp attack). but even if you get hit after some risky heal it is kinda worth it, because you do a spore cloud+thorns of agony. The fight is kinda random and its hard to determine, when he does his attack.. also sometimes i just walked into him, because he jumped in front of me. try to keep abit of distance and not get cornered to have more reaction time. 1 or 2 hits after each of his attacks should be possible.

Oh boy, if you think lost kin is tough. You're gonna have a bad time with the other dream bosses. Lost kin is the easiest one. Just wait until failed champion. Hoooo boy.
I just fought lost kin and tanked the heck out of him. Honestly, defenders crest saved me in this one, every time one of his minions tried to kill me the crest killed him, so it's super easy to heal in this fight.
My charms for lost kin: Grubsong, quickslash, unbreakable/fragile strength, defenders crest, thorns of agony, longnail.
To be fair I did just get all the charm notches, but I'm giving my advice. If you don't have them all, definitely stick to Defenders crest, fragile/unbreakable strength, thorns and quickslash. It will be a slower fight without grubsong allowing you to get more soul to heal or attack, but it will be worth it when you beat him.
>Just wait until failed champion. Hoooo boy.

Felt like Failed Champion was one of the easiest Dream bosses, especially if you wait and fight him later in the game. Was only difficult if you fight him right when you get the Dream ability.
