i feel like ive been killin this game so far, i got genichiro in way fewer attempts than i thought, my deflections are good but... im on maybe 40 attempts at gaurdian ape and i cannot fuckn beat this thing.

at first it was funny like the shit and the farts and the headless creepy thing but now... im sick of it

ive read all the advice on here and tried everything

its for sure not a skill issue because im whoopin his ass in the first round most of the time! but the second round always throws me because i cant practice/familiarize myself, and by then the trees are all gone so i cant dodge out of the way of the terror attack in time. idk what to do. ive been at it for over a week.

help
