I felt bad for the dude, haha he was so lost 😢

​@@save_catsI get it, "Boot Liquor" and all but the game really doesn't make him seem like all that bad of a guy, it feels like the devs expected us to hate him more.

@@2011supergamer oh dude 100% He was flawed for sure, but isn’t everybody? Haha

​@@save_catsYeah, plus who wouldn't go crazy with power when they suddenly get the ability to do literally anything they want? And plus, Firth was trying to do good, at least what he thought was good. So he really just had a bad combination of Power Madness and Poor Decision Making

​@@duskgaming18 He's the 'Disconnected, boot licking tech bro' the entire game, he sucks

Same

🍌

Yeah, honestly wish this game had a hard mode that just balanced stat progression better

The same happened to me, and now I loss interest

@@2011supergamer nah idk makes it feel like I’m really progressing the beginning being that hard makes less sense to me

He either buried me or managed to uppercut me out of the ocean

I didnt encounter the carbonara boss until really late in the game and litteraly one shot him. Just one massive attack was enought, it really depend when you encounter the differents bosses

Same, heikea killed me dozens of times, then topoda a couple, and then after that the game got crazy easy and I first tried everything.

Right I felt like firth was one of the easiest lmao I first tried him

Feeding him two makes it a cakewalk. XD But my first Pagurus cheese was running for my life to the west then using a giant chain to poke at him. Felt a bit bad after learning it was a story boss that won't respawn so I want to fight him legit next time.

@@pumpkin7446you can make a worm eat him too 😂

Or make him stuck in a pit or against the big metal chain. Anyway, the boss is scary especially the first time you see him and believe you can challenge him before he one shot your hermit

@@josephjoy2245 I believe they patched the worm strategy before my comment.

I jumped away from a cliff and he just fell to his death lmao

dude I was a goober and didn’t even know he existed until the end of the game lol. I grabbed the map piece and left, and then fought almost every boss thereafter with my lvl. 1 adaptions like a fool

I think he may have been my toughest simply because of his blue attack that I never really figured out how to dodge consistently

@@save_cats Yeah that’s pretty tough. Rolling works, but him teleporting out, then back in really fucks with the timing. My advice? Roll away as soon as you see him teleport back in. You’ll likely get knocked away, but you won’t take damage.

@@Jacobliteratorif you roll towards him when he reappears, you’ll stay right on him and you can get some hits in

A helpful trick is to use the decoy shells around the arena too. He’ll attack the decoys, giving you more openings.

I did the same with an umami build and the party hat and destroyed half his healthbar, and then immediately got humbled when he created a sandstorm and one shot me while I didn't see him.

I did something similar. Went full MSG, with some res and HP to face tank hits. Then I could just stand in boss opening spots and wail on them. I think I ended up..4 hitting Firth for each of his health bars?

I could see him being tough if you just ran through the story and did very little exploring. I loved this game but as I’m the type of person that likes to uncover every nook and cranny I felt like I was way to stacked for most of the boss fights and didn’t feel like skill played all that much of a part. My toughest boss was the sand in between crab only because I was stubborn and wanted to kill him the first time I met him instead of coming back later. I did like some of the dialogue for doing things out of order.

for real. died way more times with thunder lord than topoda

I didn't think it was a bug, I thought the description was just inaccurate LOL.

It definitely is gonna get nerfed soon, or by the time they release new game plus, they are gonna buff the shit out of the bosses

@@YEY0806 i kinda hope not. Because what i was was definitely a cheeze build. And if you balance your game based on broken builds, it messes up the game. But probably the helmet should have been locked behind newgame plus. It alont boosted the strategy beyond the norm. I shouldn't be allowed to hit a fastboss with a fully charged heavy hammer. But that is exsactly what juggernaut allows

Although not outright cartoony, and not a game i'd consider an *outright* Soulslike, I recommend you take a look at Clash: Artifacts of Chaos. Quite unique setting, very colorful, and its central piece of lore/mechanic is as interesting as it is absurd: That being the One Law. There is only one law in the land, and it states that prior to a physical altercation, anyone can challenge another to an (optional) game of dice called The Ritual, where you then take turns manipulating the dice on the playing mat. The winner gets to enforce a condition in the fight, based on an Artifact they choose to spend. Can range from setting arena limits to the opponent having to drink spider or snake venoms to banning weapons from the fight, to simply getting the first hit in with a big stick. Bar three or four instances, it's a wholly optional mechanic. Combat for the rest consists of physical melee with different martial art styles you can find and to a degree customize your playstyle with, all of which have their own unique animation movesets. (For example, Slash Stance is quick, wider sweeping hits, Boxing is the all-rounder, Spear is longest distance with concentrated damage, and individual moves have their own differences in directional dodge attacks, combo string, and run/jump/charge attacks compared to one another to analyze). Also, enemies can range from a grumpy milky pale-blue British bald cat/bat woman with a third arm growing out of her right lower arm. to a yellow toad creature with a nose ring and a frying pan in a barrel, to a fat turkey man with sharp teeth to a Platybelodon humanoid. Fun thing with them is that if you encounter those enemy "types" later on, that's not a new enemy with the same model. It's the same Mercenaries that chase after you throughout the entire game that you find at different points, in different team-ups. Though they're not the only enemies. Very much worth looking into and playing!

Topeda clipped into the ground when I fought him.

There’s a long platforming challenge in the bleached city, it’s pretty easy to miss (the entrance is a bit hidden) but the helmet is the reward!

12:21 DUDE THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME

How, a bug? Lol

Circle around his right side. (Your left)

Blocking should work unless your game is somehow bugged. The only moves you can't block are his red warning grab, and his back kick. If he's "ignoring" your dodges, you just need to time them better.

Yeah, its a soulslike about crabs and various other sealife. By various other sealife, I mean crabs who use old timey telephones as exploding laser guns. Those things are somethin else man. The game's peak, go play it.

The game Clash: Artifacts of Chaos (semi-Soulslike as well) had a thing going on where at nighttime, there are Night versions of all bosses that appear at different parts of the land, so if you want to refight them or seek out a new challenge after the story, they're ripe for the picking so to speak with boosted stats.

Each stat caps at 30

How’s the experience of a SL1 run in this game? It’s a toss-up and it feels like it could be either fun or just tedious

same

Took me 3 attempts. But I think if I were to get another attempt, I would defeat him hitless.

I wasnt talking about voltal I was talking about that Thor dude near the first magnet puzzle who stunlocks you and hits you through the wall.

@SunburnedAlbino yeah of course I get it. That attack is difficult, but they are easy to dodge. But it's my opinion tho and this boss still sucks.
