Against Rita

[acv629]

So after a couple of runs in hell, decided to try BEX, and already got to the first roadblock, that attack of Rita with the huge pillars of light. Anybody knows how to dodge it?, I don't have amulet or any way to get i-frames, and just plowing through it like in lower difficulties takes too much of my life. Any tip is appreciated

To avoid this attack you have to walk through them when they decrease in size.
The pillars will go cover some distance to one side and goes back to the other side increasing velocity and distance. This happens 3 times.

Everytime she uses this attack she goes to the middle of the screen.
You should stay near 25% or 75% of the screen.
You should keep there until the pillar go back two times, then go hug her. When they come back and you pass again through them, hug the wall.

At 1m45s you can see this attack 3 times in a row: https://youtu.be/HPShfbL8naI?t=1m45s

Try to memorize the second point they move to, watch the video mão nervosa posted. They inch a bit forward at first, then they switch sides and move out a lot more - that's your mark. Stay behind that line when they do that second movement, then once the beam starts moving back, immediately move towards Rita, the next beam will activate at about the same spot just as you move through it, at this point immediately hold the opposite direction and you should avoid the last big movement too as you move away

Thank you both, now I know what to do, guess I'll keep practicing for a while.
I swear, this is the most cryptic pattern of the whole game

my first time playing BEX I actually just took the hit near the end and did everything else pretty much perfect cuz I couldnt get it right every time (better to take 1 hit than a potential 2).

Pretty annoying attack
