On my screen I only see his face and no hands. Seems like I had low resolution or sth like that. I was unable to dodge because I didn't even see the hand moving animation
Noooooooo, the hardest fight for me It's the first hero!!! The golden form especially. I barely understand what's happening and I just hope and pray, and try to tank through it. Looking forward to that one's guide. 😭
It might be awhile before I do one for that. Mostly because I don’t really understand that one yet either. Only gotten to it twice. (Only play a run or two a week)
The tell is he balls his giant fists up into the air and then slams them down. The fists don’t track you so as long as you keep moving and then dodge to increase your distance when they come down you’ll never get hit by them. When he makes the hug gesture he’s about to do the swipe. When he summons the purple orb he’s about to launch the orb attack. The second half of the fight is the same mechanics just faster or more intense, in the case of the orb.
@@EpicBrew i have an item noe and it says i can plant a flag of carleon on the ground when swapping. i have NO idea what that means. i tried all buttons on my xbox controller, there's nothing i can do besides just moving around and using my sword.
Idk how you make the fist pound look so easy. This is what always messes me up. Idk what you mean by he shakes whichever fist he’s going to smash cause that never works for me.
Likewise. The fist slam is so difficult to evade. I’ve died to it over 10 times now and don’t understand why we can’t get a checkpoint instead of having to walk through all the minions over and over.
I've gotten to Chimera and I still fine Yigg to be the most annoying and hardest to get through, I just cant get the damn timing down for the fist pound. I found of the 3 so far the Sisters are rather easy
Please do one for the priestess specifically, I SWEAR IF I SEE ANOTHER "priestess is op" POST ON STEAM I'M GOING TO MURDER SOMEONE. That aside, great video, a lot of the new playerbase seem to struggle a lot with the game, so a video like this is very helpful for the community.
Honestly agreed. Every time I get to the priestess I just hope I have enough damage to kill her before she kills me. That or grab shield skull and spam shields to survive.
@@evilpotpie8356 oh do not get me wrong, she is the worst hero in the game. It's super easy (if you know how to do it) to outdamage her. The base skull evem can out damage her without any problems. However, the thing you will need to beat her is just a few damage items or use a skull that's good against her, you cannot go full tank because the act 3 fight if you get a priestess will be the end of you. But, even tho the act 3 fight with the priestess is arguably a harder fight than most, with (for me at least) very little item management I'm easily prepared for that fight. I never once encountered the problem of not being able to kill the priestess , be it on the first, second or third floor. Granted, I do already put a cuple hundret hours into the game, so it is to be expected that I won't lose to her, but, learning what skulls are good against her, what items/what kind of dps you need to outscale her/ managing item synergies so that you can effectively build around those type of problematic fights/ using your skills effectively is all key. Also, if you are having problems in fights with the priestess, it might also be because you don't focus on her, you cannot damage her if you don't specifically target her down, you could out damage her, but it would take ages to kill the other heros first, so focus her down first and then go for the others. Also, as a little side note,
@@shion126 I think we are talking about different people. I thought you meant the Archbishop. I always refer to her (him?) as the priestess. I always refer to the priestess as the nun so I got confused. My fault.
Why is it that the player in every Skul guide video I've seen has a 5 or 6 figure dark quartz total? I'm going into my second attempt against Yggdrasil with 241 dark quartz and haven't been able to upgrade anything. Is it just a waste of effort to try against it when so underpowered? Is there a decent way to farm dark quartz?
Because the players who are making the guides probably have a few hundred hours in the game and ran out of stuff to spent DQ on long ago. The Dark Quartz I earned in Early Access transitioned into the full release mode. And my Let’s Play series was in the hundreds so I had plenty of time to collect lol. I’d say give it time, it’s only your second attempt at Old Yggy and you’re already looking up a guide? Just be patient, roguelites are not meant to be easy.
I swear his fists smash faster when I am fighting him than when watching videos. But overall, not too terrible of a boss fight.
Man this game is awesome! I just rage quit after every death and have to go back to it. It's awesome
I really appreciate this video and you do a fun and helpful way of explaining it, cheers man
I really appreciate this guide. I've been struggling a little on this boss.
It’s a challenging game! When you get to the next boss…I def have a guide for that one too. Lol
Dude this is the most useful skul video i heve ever seen make more boss guides
Thanks, I have one for the next boss fight in the game, too. Against the Sisters
@@EpicBrew alr
I didn't even notice those big logs to the left and right of him were platforms, that's gonna make this fight a heck of a lot easier.
On my screen I only see his face and no hands. Seems like I had low resolution or sth like that. I was unable to dodge because I didn't even see the hand moving animation
Yeah you’ll want to adjust that or you won’t make it past the second boss lol
Thanks for the fun and instructive vid!
I have been killed 10 times by old yiggy and then I realised youtube exists. thanks for the walkthrough
There is a guide I have the the next boss fight (the hardest in the game, imo). Glad the guide helped! Old Yiggy will be a friendly face in no time
@@EpicBrew Thanks! I just have a problem with getting to the next boss but I'm sure the tutorial will help!
Wait, there’s a second stage?? 😫

That fist slam has no tell and is royally pissing my off...
The tell is he balls his giant fists up into the air and then slams them down. The fists don’t track you so as long as you keep moving and then dodge to increase your distance when they come down you’ll never get hit by them.
When he makes the hug gesture he’s about to do the swipe. When he summons the purple orb he’s about to launch the orb attack. The second half of the fight is the same mechanics just faster or more intense, in the case of the orb.
can you maybe tell me how i can survive the first 5 minutes of this game as i have only one freakin' weapon ???
i have NO idea how anything works.
Play the tutorial, it helps.
@@EpicBrew there's no tutorial available.
@@EpicBrew can you maybe tell me how to use an item ?
@@EpicBrew i have an item noe and it says i can plant a flag of carleon on the ground when swapping.
i have NO idea what that means.
i tried all buttons on my xbox controller, there's nothing i can do besides just moving around and using my sword.
Prob cuz ure trans
Idk how you make the fist pound look so easy. This is what always messes me up. Idk what you mean by he shakes whichever fist he’s going to smash cause that never works for me.
It's whatever fist you're on the side of, for the first phase. Then for the second phase it's the fist closest to you, followed by the other fist.
Likewise. The fist slam is so difficult to evade. I’ve died to it over 10 times now and don’t understand why we can’t get a checkpoint instead of having to walk through all the minions over and over.
@@ryanmaher531 Because it's a roguelite. That's the genre.
Still haven’t beat him but thanks for the tips
I've gotten to Chimera and I still fine Yigg to be the most annoying and hardest to get through, I just cant get the damn timing down for the fist pound. I found of the 3 so far the Sisters are rather easy
Old Yggy is the easiest by far. You’ll get there
What is the skill needed to buy to make dash I frames??
I’m not sure off the top of my head the witch in the starting zone is the only place you get skills so she has it in her menu somewhere
how do i dash? also is getting different skulls random or can you control it?
Controls are listed in keybinds and will vary based on what controller you’re using. Skull drops are random

@@evilpotpie8356 also she only does 1 attack that is arguably the easiest to dodge in all bpss fights, just dash once and you're golden.

how come you have so much health? is it fully upgraded? I'm only 105 health
There are items that increase your health, also use the Dark Quartz with the witch for upgrades.
