How best to counter the stun move of the twilight version of the bat-lady boss? She spams it like crazy and my needle supply runs low. Even dodging can be tight and a mistake means I'm frozen for way too long.
Learn to dodge it by listening to the audio cue. Relatively wide dodge window if you keep an ear out for it.
Loved the beta but yeah the bosses need some real balancing. This game is not gonna sell if all the bosses are one or two hit kills. That stuff should be reserved for "Dante must die" mode. Also I hope the beginning has more balance. Kinda boring to have to grind the first area until your appropriately leveled foe the rest of mission 1.
Bosses are already balanced well enough. They're sufficiently telegraphed to the point players are able to kill them without taking a single hit (even with low level gear) if they put the time into it instead of relying on brute forcing or exploits or luck, and you're given plenty of additional legroom through various means with the levelling system, loot, Kodama bonus elixirs and the ability to co-op. You don't
have to grind for resources; recognize the patterns and you're set with some practice, like with any properly designed boss. If anything, keep the base difficulty of the (fundamentally sound) bosses as is and expand their Twilight Mode versions with DMC4's Dante Must Die twists rather than randomly throwing in some mook. The latter is just so uninspired and
those throw the balance out of whack.
That said, some patterns could use another pass with finetuned hitboxes.
Is the second boss more or less impossible with a hammer? Although I did last longer compared to 30 seconds when I used a spear before I stopped for the night.
She's doable with it, but the hammer / axe is generally quite cumbersome compared to the other weapons.
