I’m on Simon Manus right now and while his second phase is okay for the most part, I cannot make use of the stagger window without at least getting hit for half my health.

Every time he’s staggerable he summons hand of god and if I go for the stagger by the time I’m out of my animation it hits me because the animation is so long, but if I try to wait out the attack his stagger state disappears lol.

I already feel like getting staggers off feels like rng sometimes depending on if the boss decides to do certain moves or run away, but this feels even worse here. Is there any way to safely stagger him?

I’m trying to get the serpent fang but Li Dingo didn’t show up at zhenwu antechamber shrine. I did mt zhenwu before cloudspire and I saw that it can mess with some npcs quests. Is this why he’s not here or have I missed something? Thanks :)

Having no shrine after bo sorcerer seems bullshit in my opinion. She has an obscene amount of health so I’m obviously gonna be low on heals when I beat her. I go up the path to the right expecting a shrine but it’s an area full of enemies, I try to run through cus I have no heals, I die in one hit to the cannon on full hp with 50k souls from the boss and of course I go back to pick my souls up and my demon is there so I have to fight her to get them but I die cus I’ve never fought the spear version of her and have no idea on the moveset.

Yeah I could have ran back to the shrine before the boss but since when are you expected to kill a boss and run backwards to the previous checkpoint.
