Yeah she is meant to be last considering she guards the gate to the final area. It was intentionally the toughest one cause many players will wonder north, get their butt handed to them and hopefully they look into other directions.

It might be a bit to overpowered tough, her aoe causes a lot of dmg or rather the hitbox it to big.

I`ll test her some more, she is still the hardest one to beat for me, so it might be out of balance.

Thx for answer! Now i will try to find other bosses before going to her again. And thx for the game, its really great and i reccomended it to all my friends. Also dont change anything in her pls, cos if she is the last boss, she must be so tough as she is right now. Thanks! Btw i just understand that i am playing it wrong, because i killed the second knight first and still cant find the others.

Just explore and you`ll find the keys to their individual shortcuts.

Hello,

my only advice for the boss (and for the entire game, really^^) would be to learn to parry / counter. This is critical in the game and very fun too!

Once you get the hang of this mechanic, you're good to go. The fights will feel more fluid, more rewarding and also easier.
Also, you want to learn to parry with your sword and your gun! That way, you'll be able to stun your enemies on close-combat but also from a distance. And that's a good thing :)

Of course, for the First Knight, you have to be careful with her instant-death attack, but other than that, it should be ok.

But, yes, you should definitely explore more, kill the other knights and upgrade your stats before meeting her, because she's the toughest of them all^^

Just beated the first, second, third bosses! Thanks for the help!

Yeah, the FirstKnight is definitely giving me far more trouble than the other 3... perhaps not instant death for their attack, but just high damage.

This was the first knight i killed... i like the fight pattern, it really forces you to learn the game mechanics... i don't think the first knight need to be nerfed because after it's not hard like souls games...

Imo the pattern is easy to learn and the knight has a good balance...

Well if you defeated her recently(last few days) you got the one I think is the right balance, I already changed a bit of her since these comments.

I do think it does not need more nerfing.

For me, she could be harder... :P

After learning the pattern the fight was pretty easy... i think for nomal casual player the balance now is good... not everyone wants 10+ tries on one boss and the game became more enjoyable for casuals... :)

Yeah all the knights are really easy for me, but I made and tested them so many times it`s hard for me to tell.

Yeah the level of challenge seems reasonable now.

I really don't understand how to dodge/parry the instakill attack

It appears slowly, and once its complete you have exactly 1 second before it attacks.
let it appear, and wait just half sec and roll.

Alternatively you can go and beat the Monolith.

Ummm Is the First Knight supposed to be invincable if your too early in the game? I can shoot her, but all sword attacks went right though her and never seemed to do any damage

If you can shoot her and she takes dmg she will take dmg from the sword too. They share the exact same collision code, so that's not possible.

You cant hit her while she is jumping, or floating.
She does have the same defense numbers as the other bosses too.

Easy way to beat and cheese 1st Knight:

When she casts blue bombs, shoo, stab; rinse repeat.

Just dodge her reaper, have a lot of stims (heals), and tank her swipe attacks.

Dodge the rest.
