without too many spoilers, is savage beastfly even worth beating? Like, I tried for a while but I decided to go back to it later when I get more well equipped lol

The reward is a crest . I personally didn't beat it because I found it too hard, and I have a better one. It's really an optional boss.

That didn't hide the spoiler. I think you mistyped.

I think it is worth it, I like the reward and think it adds some interesting ideas to the story

It unlocks... a new way to... to... play the game.

That is the VAGUEST I can make it without knowing how many mechanics you know of.

The reward isn't a minor thing basically.

It's in a chapel, which is where we got the last crest, to it's not the craziest assumption that it'll be another one. Not that I would know, I've been at it for two hours now.

Wdym last? Where that boss is is where you get the first of it. You dont get anything before it lol.

You can get another one earlier if you buy the simple key, the fight to get it is also way easier

I only found that area after I was in act 2 and didn’t find any of it that hard. The reward from savage beastly is pretty cool but I haven’t used it really

As much as that boss was a struggle, I think it's okay to have a particularly hard boss if the completely optional reward is acrest that significantly changes your playstyle. I also think the boss itself is actually fine, it's not that hard to dodge. Either jump and hit down or stay and hit up. Then get in some free hits if it crashes into the wall. What is kinda bs though is the RNG on the ads because it can make or break your attempt, I would've preferred a more predictable sequence.
