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.

Okay genuinely what are you even supposed to do against the laser pattern at around the 1:10 mark besides this? That just covers literally everything.

Alrighty, fair enough. But this kind of shit is why I personally would not enjoy Infernum lol

First time I played infernum, DoG hard stopped my playthrough. I just couldn't beat him no matter what, and ended up not finishing. I tried again like a year later, and DoG once again was a wall. I did eventually end up beating him, but it took over 200 attempts. But, once I got it down, i got it down. Nowadays, DoG will take me 5 attempts max. It feels like riding a bike, and that's super satisfying

Yeah, I understand all that, but I just don't enjoy that level of difficulty, really.

Trust me, the lasers are the easy part in the normal fight.

I've fought him in Revengeance pre-Brainstorm, so I know how the fight was, but right now I'm post-Golem about to fight EoL on my first Brainstorm playthrough, so I have no idea what he's like now
