Finally!!! Beat Act 3 and got the true ending. 109 hours 97%. 92% was all on my own (aside from looking for best farming spots and which version of silkshot to get). Took me another 3 hours to get to 100%, had to figure out what I was missing.

I think the last boss is absolute horseshit cheese. I had to return to the surface to farm rosaries/shards twice. I ended thinking of a brilliant idea.

I had fucked around with the architect crest (2nd favorite) and if you combine that with plasmium phial (you inject yourself 9 times) you can create a build that regens health continually. I added the wisp fire lantern for auto periodic fire attacks since I didn’t need a silk to heal and used the silk shot/cogfly which I didn’t unleash till the 3rd stage.

First time I dropped down with the build it wouldn’t work. The infinite health was removed after diving into the area. Tried it again and same thing. Was going to give up on it but then I thought what if I activated it inside the arena?.. so I injected myself 8 times first before diving in. Injected the 9th one in there and it worked!! Was so happy. Still died bunch of times before I finally beat her. Literally on my last shards.. had I died I would have had to go back up to the surface to farm some more. But the build worked perfectly as didn’t have to think too much on healing myself.

Final grade 8.5/10. This game is still awesome but that final boss was not rewarding to me. Way too cheesy. And the farming of rosaries/shards felt grindingly stupid. Coming from Lies of P I didn’t have to farm anything aside from levels. So this grind was unbearably annoying.

i hear this a bit, what i tended to do, am im still playing it, is to spend half an hour farming beads and then turning them all into bracelets every 7 hours or so
