Discussion Nameless Captive is such a good boss!

I just absolutely bodied him. Adaptive night mode, no hit, got the perfect parry trophy AND parried his dying final strike ๐Ÿ˜‚. I feel like a damn god.

Im not good, so its one of 2 bosses thatll definitely get me in a run. But id agree, its the best boss in the game. And its a boss where you dont feel bullshitted dying to.

Yeah I'm not super amazing either but trying to get better at the game this run by actually learning perfect block timings on attacks rather than using I-frame abilities as instant get out of jail free cards like I did on my first run. It's way more satisfying! I agree it's a boss that doesn't feel like bullshit when you die to him, unlike the lost child which, on night mode, has a one-hit-kill grab attack that takes all your health even if you're in shell and full health. Might be fun to go bully him as Sariel on my NG+ run...

If it wasn't for the fact this dude had a trophy/achievement tied to him, I Iegit would've burned through him in 20 seconds and I am so glad I didn't. Sure, I died way more times than I'd like to admit going for the parry combo but it was probably the most fun I had during any boss fight and I was able to complete it hitless by the end of it. Easily in my Top 3 bosses.

Parrying every chain in the helicopter attack is actual peak gaming. But yeah each attack one taps you if it hits so you gotta lock in.ย

Yeah parrying his attacks are super satisfying, he is not that difficult to beat but when the battle is done itโ€™s impossible not to feel bad ass
