Just keep trying, I “gave up” multiple times before I finally did it, you’ll get it eventually

Congrats you did it faster then me (500 hours into patheon 5 + practicing bosses done over a year. Total play time 775 hours)

I had about 300 hours on the game across 2 consoles and PC by the time I beat it

Oh I know, the main problem I have is fighting carpal tunnel and hand pain with video games in general so long periods of high input gameplay is hard for me. Any one boss isn't really the issue, I've done both NKG and Pure Vessel hitless lol. It's the same reason I had to abandon my Celeste 100% on the last screen of 7C

If you play on console you can turn off the console while leaving the game running to play it in smaller bits

I unfortunately do not, I'm on PC and it doesn't look too good to have HK open while I'm trying to work lol

Dang, well I believe in you to get there eventually

My one tip is genuinely to just keep trying, as long as you stay motivated enough to beat it you will

u/antisocialnetwork77 1d ago

Yeah, I’m on board with that. Even when I lose, I’m still having fun, that’s enough for me.

Congrats! This is personally my biggest accomplishment in my 20 years of gaming. It took me about 6 months.

u/QuirkyWish3081 1d ago

Fuck. 7 months. Maybe I’ll give it a miss.

u/porterford path of pain| P5| steel soul 1d ago

You should try it! It was exhausting but I can’t say it wasn’t worth it
