Overlord Trial 1 help

Hey folks, this is my first bullet-hell, and I'm probably too old for this but I can't help myself. :) I am having an issue with the Overloard phase 4 on Trial 1. When he pulls out his "♥♥♥♥ you" sword he just chops me up into bits no matter where I'm at, even if I dodge out of the way it still counts as a "hit" even if nothing is there.

I try to practice but phase 4 is not in the practice, it drops me out after phase 3. :(

Any advice? Tired of hitting a wall.....

This one tripped me up as well, and my first clear was just about smuggling enough health to the last phase to win by attrition. I think I've got a better bead on it in post, but it's still spooky.

What works for me is inching just a couple tiles at a time; his sword targets where you are when he starts moving, so don't rush to create distance or you'll corner yourself sooner. You do need to side switch once you're pushed to the wall, and that's a matter of dashing through the residual bullets while he's raising his sword for the next swing.

Did it! My issue was the bullet storm on the bottom where I was trying to hide from the sword stabs. I smuggled in some bombs and enough health to scrape by.

No more trials for this old man, though.

It took 8 hours for my first base game clear, and that was great! All the unlocks, secrets, and surprises along the way kept things interesting and exciting. But then I endured another 8-10 hours for the first trial with more than half of that time spent overcoming the final phase. It was a brutal grind. It was rewarding to complete, but the juice just wasn't worth the squeeze (for me).

Wild, VERY good game with a buttery smooth learning curve. The trials are definitely a skill jump.... I imagine this is the noob trial, too... lol. Naw, I'm good. :) I'll stick to the base game.
