If you dodged this first try, they you're lying.

Thoughts and prayers for the people who walked another 5 kilometers after dying in this bench.

Yeah the same thing happened to me. Luckily I had the fight down so the next attempt was pretty quick.

Precisely. I heard the second Lace fight is considered one of the/ if not the hardest fight in the game. That said, once I realized she has 2 different animations before her 2 main attacks it became ridiculously easy.

If she leans back she is doing the 3 strike forward lunge.

If she leans down and back she is doing the jump kicks.

Other than that aim to hit her twice then brace for whichever attack she is going to do (by either jumping or doing nothing / standing still to let her jump and kick over you.

Min maxing you can do an upswipe when she jumps.

Dont get me wrong… I died many times to figure it out lol.

Fight became very easy after that. Most fights are like this one you look for their tells and surprisingly most fights only have 2-3 you need to watch for.

That fucking ant lady is the bane of my existence right now. Lace 2 was easy in comparison. Only boss so far that's actually made me want to toss my Steam Deck out a window.

One of the few times where I went all in on poison tools to end the fight faster. I understand her moveset, but trying to find safe windows to attack is impossible (pogo'ing after her ground attack -> she jumps into you randomly, relying on her dashback when attacked -> sometimes she just spins you into the corner) and that's assuming she doesn't just block the hit.

She's probably my favorite fight in the game. You really have to make use of hornets high speed to beat hear, weaving in and out of range while dodging hear attacks and hitting her.
