Act 3 took a little too much to unlock, wasn't that fun to do imo.

Act 3 itself is good though. Karmelita was hard but nothing crazy. I haven't fought the final boss of Act 3 but everything else in this game was on the same level as Hollow Knight, I still.dont get the "they upped the difficulty a lot" take.
Yeah I'm just finishing up Act 3 and I was confused about people saying the game was too hard or it needs a difficulty slider. But I figured it was from the crowd that hopped in to play it because it was the trending game at the moment and then they realized it wasn't a hack and slash button masher lol. It was the same thing that happened with Elden Ring where less than 20 percent of the people that bought the game beat the first boss. But I'm tired of people whining about games being too hard for them. They want to make everything comfortable for them instead of going by how the developers intended the game to be played. I enjoyed every second of it.

Last boss in act 3 been giving me that work.

Been busy this week so i have not had time to really get into it.

This weekend it’s belt to ass for her :birdman:
Yeah Lost Lace was annoying due to all the spam teleporting. Especially when you get to the third part on the fight. She was cheesing popping in in those floor traps. But I finally got her ass after 9 attempts :mjlol: :blessed::ohlawd:

I've had the needle at level 2 the whole late act 2/act 3 and nothings been crazy difficult imo, but I think I gotta upgrade it for Lost Lace. I can't even get to her 2nd phase.

It's probably been said here already, but the shard mechanic sucks ass. And the fact that small enemies in arenas don't drop shards is sadistic and dumb.

Let me get good :hhh:

Besides that game is exceptional.

Lost lace was pissing me off that first. Best way to fight her is with wanderer crest for the speed. The anklets for more speed. Long claw, Reserve bind, and Injector band.

With this setup I didn't even have to use any tools. So much speed you can hit her multiple times any time she's in range. Also makes dodging all of her spells so much easier.

This was pretty much my Kit for the entire game 2nd half of the game, also using the weighted belt so i could stay close and get a bunch of hits in.

Tho for Lost lace i used the Cogflies and poison for the 3rd phase.
