Just tell the Soul Master to gently caress off for a while and wander somewhere else. The game's big and non-linear enough that there's always something interesting wherever you go.

Once I learned how to exploit the huge window he leaves open for you to heal during phase 1 I stopped having issues with Soul Master/Tyrant. When he does the 'summon orbs that circle him and fly across the screen' move you run away from him until you hit the wall, do a short hop over the one orb in your path and then you're free to heal 2-3 times with no risk. If you weren't doing it before this will give you far more health to play with.

I wanted to buy the key and the lamp. I died to him a few times and the shade always spawns in the hallway outside his room IIRC. You can go retrieve your cash and get right back out.

Yeah, that would be nice if I didn't get ambushed by the other dudes that throw orbs while going there. Or the time I missed a jump and fell and had to deal with two at once. I can get to the shade w/ no problem now. But at first...not so much. Clinging to my $80 or so now. Hooray!

Soul Master was an amazing and terrible fight when I stumbled on them. My hands were sweaty when I finally got them. That corpse run.

Soul Master is the second most cinematic fight in the game, after Mantis Lords, which is probably my favorite boss fight of all time, at least in 2D

Yeah, Mantis Lords is amazing. It's one of the easier boss fights, but it's so fun to play through, and you feel badass when you nail it the first time.

Mantis Lords is my favourite fight in the base game. Including DLCs though... [organ music intensifies]

I looked up the pale ore locations and it doesn't look like I can actually get any right now. So I am stuck with my current nail. My charms are the one that gives more soul, the one that lenghthens the nail and I think the one that reduces knockback. I know I can get the soul master down. It's just practice. Avoiding dumb mistakes. It's the run back that ruins the fun, though.

But yeah, I found the blacksmith pretty easily in my wandering. I think I've done all I can in the city of tears at this point other than kill the boss. I've gained and lost a lot of $$$. And I'm not moving on till that fucker is dead dead dead.

I assume you're on top of this already, but for the record: are you using the shortcut through the lift shaft to shorten the boss runback between attempts?

I can handle all the attacks/dodges. It's just getting to the point where I survive through the mistakes. Of course the dive is the one that gets me the most because you have such a small window to move. The real problem is I can only do one or two attempts at a time because I do it once, run back, die again and say F this. Or I try once and say F it.

Remember there is a shortcut right by the bench where the cartographer is that shaves a few seconds off of that corpse run.

OzFactor posted:I’m furiously f5ing, waiting for the post we all know is coming Thanks much for this post. It was very encouraging. So I went back and did it. I think I got him on the 4th or 5th try. By that point I wasn't making many mistakes. And because I had seen the strat for the final phase, that bit was easy. Thanks so much. E: I also made a change. I switched from the pro controller to the joy-cons in their cradle. The separated D pad made for fewer mistakes, as well.

 The final phase is really, really great and even better if you’ve been dying to him a lot. It’s very oh poo poo oh poo poo as he’s throwing everything at you at once and you realize that all that practice means that you can handle it.

Finally had some fun. Got a new mask/hit point. And 2 more mask parts. Started exploring the mine, found a rest point but no map so hightailed it out and bought the key and light. Then did stone sanctuary which was a bit of a wet fart. Need to find those other breakable floors. Don't remember where they all were. And then I guess go back to the mine. Or the fungus cave. I don't think I found that map, either.

What else was I supposed to do? I had seen other people sitting on benches earlier. Really tricky of the game to bait and switch you like that. He didn't seem too hard, but I only had 2 health at the start of the fight so it didn't last long. I died while trying to heal for the 2nd time. But I didn't even get to his 2nd phase so whatever. I'll try again later. Any advice on killing those crystal flies? Those things are bitches.
