Lady Ethereal: The Sol of healing and benevolence, was a goddess of dreams. In her years, she created virtual simulations and assisted Yi with the Eternal Cauldron in order to give citizens a peaceful slumber without fear nor worry. Tests were successful, at first, but unfortunately.......it became too successful. Those it was tested on wouldn't wake up from their dreams.....and instead suffer death upon a coma of nightmares. Even Xiaohe. Of course, the simulation was never intended to harm anyone. Lady Ethereal never wanted to hurt them nor make them suffer. But knowing she was responsible, she would forever feel guilt for her mistake. She would torture herself, blame herself, trap herself in her own nightmare, for she felt she never deserved forgiveness. Years of trauma and despair laid upon the poor goddess. Insanity and sadness corrupted her mind, creating images of her dead test subjects, blaming her for killing them. She deserves the mercy to rest and be free....but in order to, she must accept her sorrows and move on.
"The road to hell is paved with good intentions." All she wanted to do was help others rest and dream peacefully. Wish there was a less painful way to save her.
This fight reminds me that these guys make stellar horror games... And that they are talented as hell to be able to mash genres so seamlessly in this manner. What a cracked team of devs!
bossfight ✅ Cute art style but secretly very very dark ✅ Theme of the boss ✅ Ominous background ✅ Thats definitely like other games with cute but more terrifying gameplay to add on
In life she wished to be able to be able to make a space where people could could dream for very long amounts of time. Kyubey granted her wish, but it worked too well. When they woke up they wanted to go back and sleep for eternity. So much so they believed that they were in a living nightmare when they woke up and would do anything to go back. Even off themselves. She and everyone else who knew hid this fact, but the regret ate away at her until her soul gem transformed when she went inside the machine she wished for.
Her boss fight is very similar to all the Mantis Lord boss variant. Relentlessly attacking you while you swiftly attacking back during their attack. Extremely fun boss with really good ost.
Right? I thought she felt like a mashup of Mantis Lords and Grimm. I love the idea of using clones that disappear on hit to incentivize aggression. Wish they pushed it further honestly, she could have been a great late game boss.
Cool that the background is tree/body fingers with hanging bodies showing her guilt (she is literally red handed) and then the back of her head with a slit symbolizing how they operated her brain out of her. Similar to the theme of eyes opening, her brain slit opens more and more as the fight progresses until it's a full butterfly. Real interesting
I think he was designed to be a hate-sink. Someone deliberately designed to be hated. Another example of such would be Doktor Blutwurst from Fuga: Melodies of steel.
Same can be said for Eigong. She's the reason why the Tian Huo virus exists, triggering the whole plot, and the reason why the Solarians exposed to her modified serum turned into feral mutants and went on an infectious rampage throughout Kunlun. All because she wanted Ji's immortality.
Jiequan intentionally tortures and mutilates people and shows no internal conflict about it all, Lady Etherial seems to have had good intentions and shows genuine remorse and self hatred for the unintentional pain and death she caused so I don’t think theres anything wield about it. She’s meant to be a sympathetic character and he’s not.
Third phase. Running while parrying the double attack into dodging the ground break attack. Falling onto her releasing a charge attack then follow up to double azure bow finisher, is why this game is S tier
She is probably the most "hollow Knight-ish" boss I've fought in this game just swarms you with easy to dodge/parry attacks while there's actually a rythm to it
@@con.x If they weren't followed up by other attacks, they would be easy attacks to dodge or parry. It's just how frequently the boss uses them that makes them hard.
Currently in late game, I’ve had my fair share of fakeouts with this game figuring out who and where Heng is. When I first saw one of the prison portraits that looked a lot like Heng (on the very far left), I thought, “Is this Heng?” Then I saw Lady Ethereal, and was like “wait is this Heng? She grew up? Yi did sleep 500 years after all. She went insane?” Understanding that she isn’t Heng after the flashback sequence at the Empyrean District made me feel like the kilogram of feathers and kilogram of steel Irish dude.
@@dicker333 ?? 500 years makes a big difference, characters grown up could look vastly different from when they were younger. They have similar hair “tufts”-one is a frontal portrait and the other is just a fully grown solarian. Not to mention I expected Heng to look different because Ruyi talked about how he doesn’t know how Yi “maintained his youth after all these years”. Its certainly not a far off stretch, and this game released just two weeks ago. I get that its a bit of a weird connection to make but it isn’t as if its blatantly obvious. Don’t overexaggerate your reaction.
@@emojothejojo same i feel genuinley conflicted cus on one hand i would 100% smash on the other i just wanna give her a hug as we share our problems and a jumbo tub of ice cream
She had to experience so many things in her life, i can relate to her pain. Wish there is a part 2 of this game and we see her again. Even if she is in peace and this time, we stay with her, be with her forever.
Nice job! The worst thing about this fight for me was having to repeat the trivial first phase each time. It's necessary for showcasing her move set before the clones are introduced but after my 5th death or so I wished I could skip it! Took me about 12 attempts total.
Yeah triviality of the first phase was a little frustrating after you'd mastered it, but it would have been brutal to do that fight without it I think. I died about 50 times to her so you can imagine how I felt!
Honestly, Lady Ethereal is one of the best boss fights of the game. Her second and third phases felt a bit bullshit at first, but as I started to learn her fight, I really enjoyed it.
i forgot unbound counter existed and this took me so long to beat LOL. The music was so good thoughhhhhhh and the boss was fun once you learn it!! I feel bad for her though, I wish we got more of her story.
I only truly discovered the real power of the jade that causes internal damage to the enemy on perfect parries during the final, final boss of the true ending. I so deeply wish I had found it earlier...
I got my ass kicked for an hour but then I had a lucky run, phase 2 was almost flawless then I had the sloppiest phase 3 ever and I beat her with like 15% hp left. I really liked this bossfight and I will do better at it once I finish the game Great job by the way damn
Yeah, that was a hassle at first too. In this scenario, you'll either have to parry the next attack in the air or dash crimson attacks. But the cool thing about that is that it makes it possible to double counter her - Right after the unbound counter on her charge, do an instant Tai-chi kick and you will cause double internal damage against her
@@KaitoMajima Yeah, I got through it on grit eventually. Had to get a little lucky with her chraging up that big ball she slams into the ground like 4-5 times in a row. Allowed for a lot of free dmg. Then I got the grotto Sol down in 5 tries xD. Lady still my worst fight so far by far.
My tips: He unbounded counters the downward and side swooping crimson attack but you can just use dodge and tai chi kick for those as doing the u.counter consecutively may be tricky for some.
It is hard to tell which clone is the real one most of the time. After certain attacks however, Lady Ethereal's face won't be masked by a shadow and therefore you can attack because that one is not a clone. The strategy here is to unbound counter and deal internal damage as much as possible, and strike and foo charm when she leaves an opening.
Thank you for the gameplay. That very setting was one depicted in Dante's Inferno 9 Rings of Hell. The Ring of Heresy. Those who deny God and the Soul. Who worshiped the false idols and devils. They are encased within the flaming tombs or nailed to the inverted burning crosses. The Eternal Cauldron was just that. The people wanted to go back to the denial.
Because they wanted to show toriel at her full power obviously, we know goat mom's holding back as a boss monster in undertale This is just lore accurate toriel@@jorgemigueltavares6041
Not gonna lie, I believe she was the boss that had the saddest backstory. She genuinely wanted good for everyone, she hadn't bear any malice or ulterior motives till the very end, she tried hard for the sake of everyone yet she still failed and that broke her. I don't feel any sympathy towards the rest of bosses, eeeeh maybe excluding Ji, because he's the same kind of character. The rest were just either hypocrites, psychos, they had ego through the roof, the were delusional about their supposedly unlimited power as a sol and were doing a lot of nasty, full of malice stuff fully aware of what they're doing, but they were doing it because they have obtained power to do it. And yet Lady Ethereal was totally opposite- to the very end, she blamed herself for what a cruel fate she had condemned others to, and could not undo it. She really deserved redemption arc :(
Hey I have a question, I just beat this bossfight and then I saw your video and you have an air dash. Where do you get the air dash? Because I don't have it
You can find it inside the Factory Underground's Root Node, here: imgur.com/a/yZjAG8r From the New Kunlun Central Hub, go to the lower passageway from the right and go all the way to the left. Go through the Cortex Center, and go straight left until you reach the bounds of the factory. You will see an elevator that leads you to the Factory Underground.
I guess it was just a different choice to translate the name compared to others. Her name is fu dei in Taiwanese/Chinese, which sounds like "butterfly" in Taiwanese/Chinese.
@@jeronimoheuchert3786Taiwanese here. All of the names in this game are from ancient mythological stories. For example, Yi is the hero shooting down nine suns.
Surprisingly this boss wasn’t that bad for me. Frankly I did have a lot of healing pipes and a lot more upgrades than most but I beat it in 4 attempts. It’s still super fun though.
Before encountering Lady Ethereal, you'll unlock a move called the "Unbounding Counter". This counter is executed by holding down the parry button and releasing right when the enemy is going to attack you. It's incredibly tricky to time these, but they do a great amount of internal damage against enemies. Also, this counter doesn't have "late parry" windows, so if you can predict moves it can actually be a safer option.
I really wish I could swap to Story mode for just this boss... I really dont want to play on easy mode, but this boss is just too difficult. A brick wall is not fun... hundreds of attempts just keeps me from the rest of the game... and its just got really boring watching this same fight play out poorly over and over. Its not rewarding at this point, I'm just tired of it. Really dislike this static choice... I swap to story mode, and its over. The game has no value or point after that... All because one boss just HAD to be so difficult it feels harder than any endboss ive ever encountered in any game previously. Really making me want to just get a refund a this point.
Relax, it's tricky at first but every single move has a simple solution to it. I'd recommend just going through first or second phase without attacking, just observing what she does and looking for a strike opening. Third phase only has one or two new attacks but the rest plays the same from her other phases.
@@KaitoMajima sometimes I die in phase one. When I do phase one without getting hit (rare) she sometimes kills me in the first seconds of phase 2. I have never gotten her to phase 3, and the randomness of the ghosts is infuriating... It's not like there is any pattern... Sometimes it's the first one... Sometimes I hit literally 10 ghosts in a row without a single real one. It's exhausting... I'm doing zero damage just attempting to even find her. It feels beyond stupidly hard. I signed up for a metroidvania... Not a get beat by a boss for 3+ hours many days in a row... I'm spent. I'm not having fun. This just feels painful and miserable ... I'm not feeling progress... It's not getting better every run... Often it feels worse. Sometimes a LOT worse... The fact that there is even a third phase makes me feel physically ill. I hate this.
@@KaitoMajima I really just want a way to swap to story and then swap back but nope they had to fuck me... You either fucking hate the game and uninstall... Or you give in and swap to story mode and the game loses all interest entirely and you uninstall. It's a bad choice... I should not have to make this choice.
@@KaitoMajima I played story mode on another save and it's stupid as hell. No damage... It's like the developer couldn't do a normal and hard. ... He had to do... You can't die mode and stab yourself in the eyes repeatedly mode. ... There is no normal mode... I just want a normal difficulty game... I don't play games on hard mode. But I also don't enjoy any game with God mode on... Why make me make this choice... It feels really awful.
I'm not sure since I haven't played Blasphemous myself... But in my experience, the platforming is not particularly difficult or anything...The battles that are. And when it comes to battles, they are in the same level of difficulty as Sekiro, and for the last boss personally I would rate it as even more difficult than Sekiro's final boss.

Nah, Mantis lords are a good length. This battle is WAY too long.

When you unbound deflect her charge, it causes you to jump as if you did a Tai-chi kick, and that honestly messes with my timing in p3 -.-

It is hard to tell which clone is the real one most of the time. After certain attacks however, Lady Ethereal's face won't be masked by a shadow and therefore you can attack because that one is not a clone.

A brick wall is not fun... hundreds of attempts just keeps me from the rest of the game... and its just got really boring watching this same fight play out poorly over and over. Its not rewarding at this point, I'm just tired of it. Really dislike this static choice... I swap to story mode, and its over. The game has no value or point after that... All because one boss just HAD to be so difficult it feels harder than any endboss ive ever encountered in any game previously. Really making me want to just get a refund a this point.
Relax, it's tricky at first but every single move has a simple solution to it.
I'd recommend just going through first or second phase without attacking, just observing what she does and looking for a strike opening.
Third phase only has one or two new attacks but the rest plays the same from her other phases.
@@KaitoMajima sometimes I die in phase one. When I do phase one without getting hit (rare) she sometimes kills me in the first seconds of phase 2. I have never gotten her to phase 3, and the randomness of the ghosts is infuriating... It's not like there is any pattern... Sometimes it's the first one... Sometimes I hit literally 10 ghosts in a row without a single real one. It's exhausting... I'm doing zero damage just attempting to even find her. It feels beyond stupidly hard. I signed up for a metroidvania... Not a get beat by a boss for 3+ hours many days in a row... I'm spent. I'm not having fun. This just feels painful and miserable ... I'm not feeling progress... It's not getting better every run... Often it feels worse. Sometimes a LOT worse... The fact that there is even a third phase makes me feel physically ill. I hate this.
@@KaitoMajima I really just want a way to swap to story and then swap back but nope they had to fuck me... You either fucking hate the game and uninstall... Or you give in and swap to story mode and the game loses all interest entirely and you uninstall. It's a bad choice... I should not have to make this choice.
@@KaitoMajima I played story mode on another save and it's stupid as hell. No damage... It's like the developer couldn't do a normal and hard. ... He had to do... You can't die mode and stab yourself in the eyes repeatedly mode. ... There is no normal mode... I just want a normal difficulty game... I don't play games on hard mode. But I also don't enjoy any game with God mode on... Why make me make this choice... It feels really awful.
It has sound to indicate an incoming attack, 2nd phase is not that hard, just need to master parrying which i learn a lot from sea of stars game.
Is this game about as hard as blasphemous?
I'm not sure since I haven't played Blasphemous myself... But in my experience, the platforming is not particularly difficult or anything...The battles that are. And when it comes to battles, they are in the same level of difficulty as Sekiro, and for the last boss personally I would rate it as even more difficult than Sekiro's final boss.
Blasphemous is easy compared to this game
I hate this boss. Never played more unfair BS
