Git gud. Rant over.

this game sucks very boring and uses AI to script fights. You wouldn't know because you think base level dude that goes in a line is hard to dodge. Nah this game is trash and they even had to add they don't use AI FOR THE ART LOL. Whatever enjoy your trash world 2026 while you think this game is challenging past the point of being actually scripted and fake same with games like CS LOL DOTA ETC especially the free games. This one has no pay to win aspect so they keep players hooked with loops like you're saying, frustrated and emotional responses to their game so you continue to prop up their numbers so they can get fat stacks to start making a new one and yet again dupe investors and gamers alike.

Games have been doing that since games with non-human opponents exist, you absolute genius.

Past the first couple of times, I've honestly had little to no trouble with the Uh Oh *shrug*.

King Vermin should be a tamable familiar unlockable after defeating him enough times. He's cute Plus, other characters/bosses could react in a funny way after seeing Mel running around with him.

Not the same AI lol, not even close.

I bought a controller and now I have a much easier time.

Initially it was hard because I've not touched a controller for years but after getting used to it, I prefer the controller. It's easier to dodge, although firing ranged weapons can be a little iffy at times.

I know right? It IS beatable with good boons but it's movements are so hard to follow sometimes its absurd. Winning the fight without getting hit at least once is impossible

Very possible, I linked a video above in the thread where King Vermin was beaten at 40 Fear without getting hit.

You can do it, too, try it with Circe's Staff or a good ranged weapon, just kite him and use the corners/edges of the room around those exploding traps, so he can't path straight into you. As long as you break his pathing, it's a lot easier.

Save your dashes, too, so it he gets close, you can react with it and escape being struck.

Fair enough, I still think the fight needs more clarity though. The rat moves with such speed that it easily gets lost in the sea of bombs going off.

A few big bonks from Hephaestus stops him easily.
