Pulled an all-nighter last night and beat the boss, for real
I finally beat the boss I was stuck on for 3 weeks lol. It took me two days just to memorize its patterns.
In the end, a DPS rush was the answer. I kept dying trying to dodge with movement, so I just brute-forced it with firepower. After clearing it, I feel kind of empty and proud at the same time...
I’m already scared about how long the next stage will take.

Congrats congrats. But if you just steamrolled it with raw damage, those two days spent memorizing patterns feel like a bit of a waste lol. Still, a clear is a clear.
Well, I don't know about that. If you pushed through with raw damage, you ultimately solved it with stats/gear, not skill. When you hit a section in the next stage where raw damage won't cut it, that's when you'll really be stuck, so I'm not sure it makes sense to call that scary. Before raising your stats/gear, it's better to really learn how to counter the patterns first—it'll make things less painful later.
Oh man, this is totally me. I've been stuck for 3 weeks too, and after over 200 tries just dodging with movement, I eventually confirmed that if I successfully dodge just one pattern right before entering phase 2, I get a 12-second DPS window, so I focused only on that and cleared it. In sections where you can brute-force DPS, that's the easiest, but the problem is that from the next section onward, there comes a moment when you can't cover it with raw damage. From now on, if you save-load repeatedly and practice only the dodge timing for each pattern separately, the next boss will hurt a lot less. Congrats, seriously lol.
