How to beat sly

Get gud.

But yeah actually get good at fighting him first. You can challenge him directly from his statue downstairs. Figure out all the timing, then the pantheon will be a breeze.

simple! just walk in a straight line before he does the spinning attack thingy stay and still wait abit when he attacks, right when he hit him, he only needs to be hit like 7 times on that stage. I use sprintmaster, pretty gud for this situation, but don't use it.

The part where he's flying around the screen all the time? What I do is walk/dash away from him as needed when he comes down right beside you to attack you, then walk/dash back towards him right as he ends his spin attack to get in a hit. That one hit is all you can safely get each time, so I try to charge a great slash to make that hit do more damage, and I think it has a wider range so you can use it from further away as well.

I have two other recommendations. One, you are practicing him in the Hall of the Gods, and not going through the entire pantheon for another try, correct? Personally I practiced these final bosses until I could beat them twice in a row before going for the pantheon clear, so I knew I would have a good chance of victory once I got there.

Two, when you go to practice him and get to that phase, don't try to attack him for a bit, just focus on dodging. His fast zippy movements around the screen are scary at first, but most of them are actually meaningless. You can stand mostly still in the center of the screen and just dodge away from his spin attack, or on the occasions he would run directly into you. Once you understand the rhythm of the attack, getting your hits in can be done at your leisure, because he only has that one move and it is not hard to avoid once you figure it out.

watch relyea's video on sly. he shows exactly how to do it

Just be patient in the crazy part. It's not that hard to avoid damage but it is hard to land hits. I kind of love the Sly fight. Good challenge but not brutal.
