I hate this bossfight, I've been at it for like 5 hours, it's so annoying, everything is absolutely random. And the reward is too low... 220 rosaries? Seriously? I could get those in 3 minutes by farming the three pilgrims next the halfway home!

Edit: I just did high halls, it took fewer attempts than broodmother. This is bullshit.

Ok yeah, that wasn't my experience at all with broodmother. What crest are you using? I used wanderer and spammed attack, which probably helped a lot against the small flies.

I have managed. I used wanderers crest spamming pogo after she dives until I got sandwiched between her and the ceiling by chance. This deals a lot of damage quickly because it nullifies knockback.

Of course no skill is required for this, because it's a stupid fight based on pure chance.

Usually I use the reaper's crest because I like the big heavy swings. For any other situation or fight (not based on lucky spamming), the pogo delay is not a real issue, you just need to press the button earlier.

There's no fights in the game that are based on chance, and I think you will have a lot more fun if you adjust your approach. Oh, I agree that there's some BS, but the game provides a lot of tools to help. Each attack does have one or more "correct" response, you've gotta work out the correct answers then piece them together. I would never recommend grinding a boss for five hours, there's other stuff to do in the game, or play something else.

I used wanderer pretty much the entire game, best crest.

I did as well, as soon as I got it. My muscle memory from Hollow Knight could not get used to Hornets other move sets.
