Double Buzzsaw boss

[The Lotoform]

I cannot beat the double buzzsaw boss on the bridge. It adds insult to injury when you die by restarting the whole game because you can't save in the opening segment. I asked a friend how to do it and he summarized it as "You can't play the game with keyboard and mouse. You have to use a controller."

I have tried 4 times to beta this boss and can recite all of the dialogue of the opening sequence word for word. Somebody please help.

Git gud. I did the whole game with the keyboard and mouse.

That isn't telling me how to do it though. That's just insulting me with a 2009 Call of Duty ass insult.

Press A then hold shift forever.
Dodge when he attacks.

Learn its pattern and evade a lot, there's not much else you can do. Evading from the side might help. Rush to strike when the saws are inactive.

I played the entire game with Keyboard and Mouse and the controls do feel fluid. It just takes a little while to get used too. If you're still struggling with getting the hand of dodging instead of attempting to dodge the buzzsaw, run away from them. They don't cover the entire area so once you see the arm that is lifting run in the opposite direction.

I had trouble trying to dodge in the beginning as well so I just ran away from them.

When the dual buzz saws come down stand right in the middle and a little forwards so he doesnt hit you at all.
Unless you mean that dual buzz saw stuff on the bridge, you need to use dodge and in a zig zagging motion more or less, this requires a bit off effort, it took me around 5 to 10 times to get past this aswell, and to figure out the pattern, this is similar btw for many of the games bosses.
Another tactic that is a little bit easier to pull off on the bridge is going down the middle and dodging forwards, but requires a bit of timing, and to keep an eye on the buzzsaws predict where they are gonna hit, runing bassically from front to back will help.

Perfect. Evades.
Evade right before you are hit - and 2B will chain evade through all the atacks of an enemy by herself, and will be untouchable to all other enemies while doing that.
You. Are. Literally. Invincible.
Do it with cares when fighting groups of mobs though, since you can catch multiple hits from different enemies after finishing your evades. In fact the games do love to do that.

I just fought the double buzzsaw boss. I noticed that the saws are moving in a zig-zag line and that you can run at the side alongside them since there is always enough room to run there. I suppose that if the buzzsaw does the horizontal sweep attack you just have to go to it's arm so that you are in that gap I mentioned earlier. When you got that, it's an easy fight.

If you have to and don't care about your pride, just lower the difficulty to easy and beat the boss. That way you can unlock the ability to save the game and you can crank up the difficulty again. At least that way you can dip into the RPG mechanics and stock recovery items or level up to overcome obstacles that you find hard, while also having saves to checkpoint your progress.
