I have one quick question, at 5:50 where he does the double auto, is the reason you didn't do a 3:1 (as you're attacking with 4:1) because the auto attack occurred with his head facing the middle? Just so I know and don't flap and go out of cycle. Cheers bud

@@conorr9308 So glad to hear you enjoyed the guide! I hope it helps! To answer your question, at 5:50 you might have heard me say "because we splashed we take an extra hit", that means that I hit a bunch of zeroes in a row. unlucky. But he was already in the 4:1 cycle. So just because he turned mid and "saw" me he shot an extra basic attack, but it doesnt matter. Just stay in the 4:1 cycle, because we were already in it. Kinda confusing. TBH if youre using a lance you will rarely see this happen. It was mostly because I was using a whip and its not nearly as accurate so "splashing" can happen more often. GL!

The additional movement is to dodge potential flame walls. If you stand still you risk getting caught in the flame. You also need to be somewhat close to your middle tiles to end your 4:1 cycle because you dont have enough ticks to run from pinky to mid (after attacking) in 4 ticks.

If you are running 3:1 or 4:1 correctly (your movement is perfect) and olm is still casting special attacks, simply do a 1:0 and it will force him to stop doing special attacks. At that point he will either automatically fall into cycle, or you can do "1 less hit" (aka 2:1 or 3:1, respectively) to force him into the 3:1 or 4:1 cycle.

There is! Let's hypothetically say olm is attacking on tick 1: When you do 3:0, you also attack on 1. When you did 1:0, you began running on tick 1. Now, when you do either 4:1 or 3:1 (doesn't matter which) you begin the cycle on tick 1. Hope that helps!

It definitely has to be tick perfect. I high recommend perfecting your 3:0 mage before jumping into methods like 4:1 or 3:1. Easing into the fight mechanics starting with 3:0 mage and 1:0 melee will make things significantly easier when learning. If still having trouble, considering practicing head mechanics. No attacks. Just run far left and far right and pay attention with how the head spins with respect to your visual metronome. Take note: if you notice the head is turning on tick 3 for example, that means you need to click on tick 2, so your avatar begins running on tick 3 (same tick olm turns his head) I hope this helps. Don't give up. Go in with a learners mindset. Things get easier with practice!

If youre struggling with 3:0, focus on simply running the head without attacking, just run far left, and far right, and use your visual metronome to understand what tick to "move" on. If olm turns his head on tick 4, you need to click on tick 3 (that way you also run on tick 4). Dont get frustrated, take it slow, go in with a learners mindset and if you die its ok, the only thing you lose is points.
