Gonna correct some informations for whoever confusing:
-The two Equinox Praetor MUST be kill at same time, if you killed one but the other isn't died in short time, they will launch a nuke that basically oneshot everyone and restart your run
-Summons are more highly recommended (In my opinion), you can just swarm the Pandora's Box with Seal, Fiscus and Coco (Seal only is enough)
+For the Equinox Bishops, when it spawn, recall your Twilight near them, it will make good deal. Though oftenly, Twilight will target Equinox Bishops, but there's small chance that it won't kill all of them in time
+Of course, ranger is also useful, but uh, yeah, it's MY OPINION
Note! Pandora's Box take x2.5 damage FROM ALL SOURCES
-Pandora Box can be cheese by running around with Supersonic Tracers since it won't catch you in time, just don't ram into wall or Downfalls (pillar)
+Apply for Energy Orb Barrage and Explosion Energy Orb
Now onto Architect...
Optimal speed: 115-130 (it is not required, however RECOMMENDED)
Optimal Dash: Sleight/Emp Ring (RoL is not optimal as they do not give you breath spaces)
Important: Run in circle, sharp-turn when he teleport to you, dash when attack end, if timed correctly, he will be far away from you, give you lots of space to breath
Parry strat: (You can parry with almost any weapon that has M1 as a melee swing)
Triple Slash attack have the sword sound, if you heard that sound, move away from him, at his 3rd slash, stay still and hold M1, make sure to have some distance from him after 2nd slash else he will hit you
+If he managed to hit you in his first slash, try to jump, this will avoid you from getting hit futher
-Reality Tear is basically a free parry, but if your gut telling you that you ain't get there in time, RUN
Can be use to get some rest if you want
-Phase 1.5 Overhead ability is simply move backward a bit and stand still with M1 holding, however not recommend parrying it while do ODO (Omega Death Orb) Challenge and in general
-Phase 2 Overhead is easier to parry, just look at him after his first dash while stand still and hold M1, keep some distance tho
-Orb barrage is just move in any direction but to him, in phase 2, hold A/D while facing him, DO NOT dash/jump
-For the Lunge, just use Seal since it can target companions
-Ground slam is self-explainatory

Sleigh/Empyrean my ass, Astaroth fully dodged me that one xmad event and had the nerve to spawn directly after it ended 😭
I did manage to get a massive jump today from 14M as a record after a couple attempts to getting Architect to 1-2M three times using RoL.
It was actually intense, and probably the only truly intense thing in BCWO thus far.

[@Yuri_Karane]

@@bigolnoob5491 It is optimal, not required, you can attempt it with RoL or nothing, just be aware that you won't have any breathing space

[@InvulnerableYT]

You forgot that everytime you get hit by architect, you receive anti parry,

[@Yuri_Karane]

@@InvulnerableYT Idk about which attack hit you, it's up to you to resolve it on your own, but you should patiently wait for that attack + another attack to end before start parrying
About triple slash, if you got hit by 1st or 2nd slash, try to jump while dashing (emp or sleight), it will avoid the rest of his attack

[@user-gm4yy4hr2h]

very useful, thank you. I beat architect!!

[@TheUmbrance]

For box gambler (royal flush) is also really good

[@Alex_Mewtwo]

i use tlitw's Z ability to get up the hole at 1:15

[@BloxBacon736]

here's some information: air slash starts to perform when architect is below 25m hp
rage occurs at 16m hp
empowered architect won't be fooling with you anymore, so he stop using atom split (reality tear) attack below 25% hp
