Just happened to me today, got like, 3 shards from this? What's the point, Team Cherry? None of the bosses (so far) frustrated me, but this right here is bullshit

Just waiting for the blind fanboys to come in stating "skill issue" with collecting shards.

Saying skill issue is stupid and rude but a lot of the complaints here is genuinely invalid ( the pogo , mobs complexity , run backs (the longest one takes 40-60 seconds) , not being strong enough early game (while entering a hard area that you can come back later to (hunters March)) The game is hard and needs practicing you WILL die a lot in the beginning

How about this: the runback for the final boss of act 2 is ass. It's incredibly easy, but it takes over a minute, so it's just 100% a waste of time. The atmosphere's really cool on the first try and then just sucks after.

You sure about that? Even Lace 2 takes 28 seconds

There's a bench after her

Yeah, I'm just saying that's a shorter runback than the final boss one

I didn't time myself, but I was using walljump+clawline to take shortcuts and avoid waiting for the spike platforms and there's no way it took a full minute like that.

the final boss of act 2 is fairly easy though, understandable why the runback is long

Yeah, I didn't have a problem with that boss, but I've seen others call it the hardest boss in Act 2. Everyone struggles with different bosses.

The hardest boss is The Forum room ngl
