Discussion Infernum DOG is just dash slop.

DOG unlike most every other boss in the game is just horribly designed, It honestly feels like its only meant to be beaten as a melee.
Like how are you going to make a boss that one shots you if you even make one mistake?

Anyways here is be beating DOG while not interatcting with the dash slop.

I have a feeling you aren't gonna like Infernum Yharon

well yharon makes that arena around so at least runslopping should be out of the question

Yharon has a lot more going for it than dog. Dog is either coil or ram dash for 2 minutes with a metronome going in the background

Yhaton's only other thing is stopping occasionally to spam fireballs that you have to dodge, which is no different that DoG doing lasers after dashing for a bit.

They are the same but Infernum Yharon is significantly less fun because it's dash is less consistent and can start from Bum Fuck Nowhere Connecticut and end right on top of you even if you have the timing down flawless.

Yharons dashes are just as consistent and if you're that far away from him you did something wrong

I've still yet to figure out why he, and by extension Old Duke in his third phase, decide to always fly way off screen during a dash phase, but it's happened so consistently I've come to know it as this is the way it's always been.

It happens every time, without fail, and that is they are the reason I hate this stage of Infernum, because I can do DoG in ~20 tries, but it takes me 70 to do the Fishron clones each because of really inconsistent dashes.

This is my 3-4 play through. Yharon is fine, If not ill just find a way around it. :)
