You can attack the "orange ghosts" and kill them :steamthumbsup:
well this is a very unpopular opinion. Lost kin telegraphs its attacks more than enough for a late game boss, and the blobs can be killed in literally one hit. Most people love lost kin, and it sounds like you just need to git gud.

it has nothing to do with me getting "gud". The ghost are killable but they come at such fast spawn rates they aren't dodgeable enough while trying to dodge the actual boss. I also shouldn't have to have "lost kin telegraph" to defeat a boss. Each boss should be beatable and dodgeable without feeling "Superior". There should be a pattern but not one so insanely hard to dodge and get lucky doing so. Its STUPID

I really do not see how this was one of the bosses that made you think this.

you do realize there is a 2nd part to this boss right? This is the easy part. Its entering the dream and fighting him again... show me a hitless video to it

Use Defender's crest charm, the orange ghost will die instantly when they get close to you

Look again. This is the boss in your first post and there isn't another version of this fight other than the *easier* one, Broken Vessel. I found both BV and LK hard when I was new to the game, but I learned to do the fight like anybody else, and it really especially hard to do either version hitless, just fighting normally.

But if you want, you can cheese it with the charm Defender's Crest if you're not used to taking out the ghosts yet.

...I have done every single boss in this game hitless, on the ascended difficulties too. And the video i listed was literally the ascended version you're talking about. Gj :zote:

I also hated this fight, and honestly found radiance easier. You can try to use defenders crest to almost instakill the blobs before they can even hit you. That way you just have to focus on the big man himself.

With defender's crest it's pretty easy, and you can shadow dash through Lost Kin to dodge his dash attacks. His bullet attack usually misses if you're standing next to him too. If you don't want to do defender's crest then quick slash can help take out multiple ghosts while still damaging the boss. Dreamshield blocks most ghosts too.

You have to kill the orange ghosts immediately as they spawn, you get soul from them and use it to blast spells on Lost Kin, you will be moving around a lot in the area, keep hitting Lost kin with nail and spells, heal only when lost kin is down in between. Use Unbreakable strength since its dream realm, Shaman stone for more spell damage.
If you feel like you are struggling at some boss in HK, you can always just pin it to the map, and leave it for later, after acquiring more upgrades, abilities, spells, charms and generally more exploring. Most of the things in HK are completely optional.

Dream Bosses are rather later-game bosses, best approached with all upgrades and abilities - especially for a new player.

If you decide to fight Dream Bosses too early, it's your own decision of asking for trouble. The game is not linear... everyone's path in the game will be different according to their playstyle.

I trust that you will be able to detect what challenge may be currently too hard for you so you will know that you can always return to it at a later point.

Use that smelly charm thing and you never have to worry about the orange ghosts ever again. Even if it feels like they're going to hit you, they won't, the charm effect kills them immediately.

Yeah, but that's not the manly-man way. Personally I liked tackling the Dream versions right after the main ones...especially since they're almost too easy if you come back with a fully loaded character.
