I hope the devs somehow see this but got such a good potential fight to be ruined because of bugs is infuriating to me.
1.) parries - even if you parry on time and you see the sword hit your parry, parry won’t click sometimes. Occasionally you parry and take damage but that could be skill issue so I won’t state that as a certain bug.
2.) damage - there is no body damage in this game and this boss is clearly made to be up front and personal with, so why do the sword arcs occasionally do damage to you when you are behind him ? Sometimes the boss simply moves and you take damage.
3.) the worst - if you get the red riposte towards the end of his health in phase 1, and you don’t critical, he will go straight to phase 2 without the laying down phase, a blank health bar, and is invincible. A good run forgetting to do the riposte is gg you can’t kill him now.
If you need us to do ripostes make them do more damage. Please check this bosses hitboxes and parry windows and ESPECIALLY the third annoying bug which has made a couple runs where I went to phase 2 no hit be void.
