Given that I hadn't played for a few days I was pleasantly surprised with how well my first go went.
It ended in a
shitty cheap way though. My next attempt was a mess is lots of ways. I attacked right next to him, locked on, yet missed. Then I got caught out by the above stupid red area then the final blow that kills me
clearly wasn't near me. Hexx was telling the truth about his wide attacks.
Not only are they massive animations, which regularly infuriated me as dodging an attack only to get hit by the same attack because its so massive is stupid, but also because quite often I'd get strawberry floated over by hit boxes. Even the projectiles get in on the this. I'd dodge but I'd still
get sent flying.This attempt was doomed to failure anyway as the Orphaned Cosplayer decided to spam the strawberry float out of the
ALL THE PROJECTILES attack in his second form. My salt levels went through the roof.
Not helped when he kills me but blatantly misses me.
Just slow this down. The red zone and then the projectile do there
thing to me again. and
again. Its absurd.
Slow this bit down to see my getting strawberry floated over by
two hits from the same move. Seriously?
At least viewing it back now means I can see how I got strawberry floated. Anyway. I could probably link to a number of bits where things like all this kept happening. I've already done enough.
I did finally however manage what I'm going to call a
"Hexx attempt" This was a bit odd. I hit him and this seemed to give me air time enough to do some kind of falling attack. Slow it down.

I found the second form really pushed the lock on and camera to its limits. Its not as bad as other fights but given how relentless the fight it is I always felt like I struggling with it. At times the sheer amount of movement from the boss would mean I would go to dodge only for the camera to spin and I'd end up going in a different direction. Pedz finally decided to say hi, no doubt bored of my failure to dispatch the boss. He declared the fight, "shitty a lot." But I then had
my best attempt. But this ended in the most
frustrating cheap strawberry floating way possible. Anyone that ever says its always fair blah blah is a twat. And I'll fight you over it. My next attempt though. Well.
I did it. Compared to my previous go it was a mess I think and I sort of feel I just lucked out and wasn't punished so hard by the shitty lightning and the like. As such it just wasn't all that satisfying. I called the Orphaned Cosplayer what he deserved.
