Is that it took 3 days.

In just 3 days we mentally broke Noelle and killed 3 kids.

I spent 2 hours/ 42 attempts on flowery and almost keeled over thanks to the fact I was only running on caffeine, my own body fat, a peach and a headache because the boss theme wouldn’t stop.(I’m fine now)

If you don’t want that to happen to you then you’re at the right place because I’ll be giving you a couple of tips for how to survive this little asshole who I only don’t hate because of the scenes after the fight.

(Note: I am not good at this kinda thing)

Ok anyways:

Orange soul and charging. So there is a time and place to charge your shots and a time where you just press Z for 2 milliseconds.

You can’t go wrong charging yourself up when up against Flowery in that one charging himself at you section. But during Aqua, Blue and Yellow’s sections, it’s best to keep them short. For Seth, in their first bullet pattern with the one line, you can do either or but in their second pattern with the two lines you can do the same. Just remember that if you can’t get the green without running into bullets, know the green heals like shit.

When up against orange they come at you quicker than Flowery does and it can fool you. Just always remember, no matter if there’s fire raining from the ceiling or not(green I trusted you), always be charged and ready. When the fire thing happens, either stick to just below the top or at the very bottom. Also Orange and eventually Flowery have extra bullet patterns that come out their ass after blocking them. Orange’s go up and down where you were at(just go a little up and you’ll be fine) and Flowery’s go in a straight line at you so just move away from them.

Btw, you want to release your charge right as Flowery or Orange are about to turn blue. That worked the best for me(also apparently there’s an audio cue but I didn’t have it. It’s jeranimo or something).

Aqua’s little lilypad jumps seem intimidating(because they are), but all you gotta do is be close enough to the lilypads during your jumps. You can get away with a bit during those sections. If you miss one, dodging through the blade walls isn’t that hard, but still I suggest getting back to the lilypads.

Busting through the blue bamboo is fun, but there is ALWAYS a cactus right behind it. The cactus will do 60 damage and it will end this run.

Flowerysoda, it heals 50 usually but for Ralsei it heals 200. I suggest stocking up on a lot of items including this one. The more hp from your items it the better cause there are 9 mandatory turns in this fight and you will feel the pain ‘cause each attack deals 50-60 damage minimum and in my case, 80 psychic damage.

Also, if one of your party members is knocked out, then the R/S actions do 30% mercy.

Speaking of mercy, your two mercy acts are posey and blowaway(both pretty simple). I personally only did the single acts instead of the team acts because I needed my guys up to heal, but if you do do that then Flowery’s will cost 64 tp, so will Aqua and Seth’s, but after that I’m pretty sure the rest are 80 tp each. Every duo needs two of Kris’ acts to be spared and around 40% mercy you will get the final act(justice) which will cost 100% of tp and the fight “ends” after Susie’s Idea at 42 tp after the final attack.

Also no you’re not allowed to fight Flowery, your teammates will heal him.

Back to bullet patterns, in Flowery’s final attack(the one before the Susie’s idea option) he splits into four and they all charge at you. Don’t fully charge this guy when he does this. You’re wasting time he’s using to hurt you, make a quick little charge and knock him into next week if you can.
