I am currently training in the boss mode and I noticed something that I didn't see any info about , when you beat a boss , you unlock a star ( 1 when he is new until the five red stars when you beat him multiple times ) and each time , I felt like it was easier to beat the boss on the first star ( the first time ). is it me or is it truly a thing ? and if so , what should we do when speedrunning ?

in terms of time , I made some tests and the times I got at one star and five star are pretty similar even if the boss battle played differently sometimes , for example , I was able to take two third of hierophant's health before his fish attack on one star and it made him closing his hearth during thid attack and only spawning one fish but on the other hand , fighting strenght felt the same whenever I tried , without the stars having any impact on my time or on the boss

if this matter was already discussed , sory for the disturbance and thank you whoever read/answer this for keeping this game alive !

Hi, i don't think star level makes any difference, when it comes to bosses, there's rng involved, but with hierophant theres a sweet spot and shooting speed where you can do more damage hitting multiple shots

Also i wanted to mention that this game is growing everyday and new things can be discovered everywhere, new strats, skips and everything in between can be discovered so any questions are more than welcomed!

Be sure to join the discord for more info into any of the speedruns on the game series

Done , thank you ! I have also made my first run and I have some more to try in the next days , I will definitely look on the discord if I need something
