Rune level 1, +0 weapons, +0 blessings, no status effects, hitless kill of Metyr, Mother of Fingers.
Phase 1 of this boss is actually really good---100% consistent and very fun since you can play aggressively the whole time. Phase 2 is the complete opposite though. Actual garbage. I have no idea why they didn't patch the laser beam attack, but even if they did, there's plenty of other horrible mechanics that weigh this boss down in phase 2. Spamming the fidget spinner move at point blank, forcing you to chase her. Constantly spawning minions that she gives you basically no opportunities to safely kill. Triple laser being undodgeable at point blank unless you use the stupid backstep gimmick talisman. Spamming the microcosm AOE attack at point blank, forcing you away from her. The same AOE attack sometimes just blocking you in completely, causing an unavoidable hit since the AOEs linger during the next attack. And of course the arena being way smaller than it looks, with the wall being completely invisible until you're right up against it, at which point you're basically dead. Extremely disappointing how many major gameplay flaws this boss has, especially the giga laser. I really want to like this boss since everything about it is awesome imo (design, presentation, lore, eerie af music, Ymir's quest), but phase 2 is just simply terrible.

I love how people defend this boss. Phase 2 is complete garbage I agree.
