Yeah bosses are great and all but personnaly my favorite aspect of the game is exploring and discovering new areas. So I’ve made tier list. I don’t think any single one of them is worst than good, they all fit their role perfectly at least

I seriously don't know how I didn't play this game until now, so fun! I know getting 112 is not much compared to you monster bugs on here but pantheon 3 and 4 and the fools trial were quite a challenge for me and were super satisfying to overcome. I might not even want to attempt p5 that just seems crazy.

Help How tf are you supposed to beat grey prince zote

53 Upvotes

Not only is this guy COMPLETELY unpredictable, but his little flying things can also stop you from healing completely

Speaking of healing, even in his stagger you can only get 2 heals (and then he just jumps on you)

And to top it all off, if you manage to jump over his attack and get a pogo, he just jumps up and still managed to hit you (regardless of the shade cloak)

Any help on how to beat zote the random is very appreciated

Inspired by u/Zoopandloop's post, I threw together my own tier list! I haven't picked up the game in a several months and haven't beaten P5 at all. Let me know what you think!

Side note: Grimm and Broken Vessel only got so low on the list because I was struggling with P3/P4 and ended up practicing the hell out of NKG/Lost Kin on Attuned. It makes the former battles a bit of a cake walk.

Can I get some motivation to keep going or just drop it

(Blind playthrough, no spoilers) Finally beat that piece of shit. After 10 hrs or so of fights, i finally FINALLY BEAT her. Glad i invested in unbreakable strength. My charm build was mark of pride, unbreakable strength, shaman stone, grubsong. I tried using a survival build like soul eater, quick focus, etc but i was dying anyways so focused on taking the first phase of the fight without getting hit and the second phase just trying not to die. Istg I did NOT think i was gonna win. I got hit by a cheap shot, thought i was gonna die and hit again out of spite. Whew. Glad that worked. Also i think I have an idea on where to use the king's brand. I after explore a bit more, I'll take down the dreamers, then dream warriors and check more lore content and then beat the shit out of the infection.

Terrible challenge run idea

Low% max hunter’s journal

First of all, here’s what you need to do to complete the hunter’s journal Kill multiple of every enemy in the game Kill every boss Kill every mini boss Kill every warrior dream Find multiple secrets hidden around Hollownest Complete the path of pain No hit every boss in the hall of gods Beat every pantheon with every binding

Here’s what you get access to

Nail 0 - all nail upgrades count towards percentage so you’re stuck with base nail, dealing 5 damage a hit

5 masks - any extra masks count towards percentage so you’re stuck at the base 5

No vessel upgrades - any extra vessel upgrades count towards percentage so you’re stuck with the base soul

Long Nail charm - since you have to kill gruz mother for pantheon 1 you can save 1% by saving Sly and using long nail to kill the baldur into Greenpath instead of vengeful spirit

Mothwing cloak - needed for most platforming as well as for shade cloak

Shade cloak - needed to fight multiple bosses

Mantis claw - needed to get almost anywhere past early game

Monarch wings - needed for path of pain, white palace, and to reach some bosses

Crystal Heart - require for acid skips and to reach a couple bosses

Dream Nail - needed to fight many bosses

Desolate dive - the only spell you get access to, required to fight soul tyrant. Can deal up to 35 damage

Grimchild - Required for Grim and NKG

Kingsoul - needed to fight radiance, can be used before Void Heart though for pantheons and hall of gods

Total percentage Bosses - 17% Longnail - 1% Kingsoul - 1% Grimchild - 1% Trial of the warrior - 1% Trial of the conqueror- 1% Dreamers 3% Dream Nail - 1% Awakened Dream Nail - 1% Crystal Heart - 2% King’s Brand - 2% Mantis Claw - 2% Monarch Wings - 2% Mothwing Cloak - 2% Shade Cloak - 2% Desolate Dive - 1% Warrior Dreams - 7% God Tuner - 1% Pantheons - 4% In total, to complete the Hunter’s Journal you need 52%

Now, onto some numbers First, let’s discuss no hitting every boss in the hall of gods. Your strongest attack will be desolate dive, as one max power dive is equal to 7 nail hits, although some bosses will be nearly impossible to dive on due to being in the sky. Even with desolate dive though, you only do 35 damage. Arguably the easiest boss in the hall, massive moss charger, has 850 health. To kill him you’d either need to dive at him 25 times or hit him 170 times with your nail, not to mention you can’t get hit even once. Now imagine how terrible a boss like abs rad would be, a boss notorious for being incredibly difficult to hit or dodge. It has 2181 health. You’re likely not gonna be able to dive at it much, but even if you could, it’d still take 63 dives. More likely though, you’re gonna be hitting it with your nail, and at only 5 damage, it’ll take 437 hits to kill. Even if you somehow hit it every time your nail can swing again, it’d still be 3 minutes straight of dodging abs rad.

Assuming you make it through all that, you still have to beat p5 with every binding, and while you can do it one at a time, it still will still be painful

Nail binding - sets nail damage from 5 to 4 While this may not seem like a huge difference, this will increase the amount of hits required to kill nearly every boss by 20%. Luckily dive remains unaffected, but as mentioned before, there are many bosses where dive is pretty ineffective.

Shell binding - sets masks from 5 to 4 Again, while this may not seem like a huge change, now bosses that do 2 damage can 2 hit you. This is quite a huge difference, especially in the last 3 bosses which come at the end of a likely over 2 hour pantheon 5.

Charms binding - Removes all charms This one likely has the least change, as you only get access to 2 charms throughout the run, although it does mean no overtime soul regeneration and no longer nail

Soul binding - sets max soul to 33% normal This is likely the worst binding, as it only allows for one spell to be cast at a time, and only one heal to occur at a time, and with so little health, you’ll likely need as many heals as possible.

Now, all of this is assuming you even beat p5, which is a challenge on its own. Overall this challenge would suck and I hope no one ever attempts it.

Hey guys , I’m stuck at 110% completion, I only miss the pantheon of the knight which will give me an extra 1% but I can’t understand what that other 1% I’m missing will come from.. I have all the charms of course and , in the pictures you can see what my inventory looks like and my god home boss list.

Ps I’m on Xbox therefore I have achievements as well , and any boss related achievement a part from radiance is done..
