hello! Sorry I just read your messages. The game is definitely challenging and could use some balancing tweaks. That being said, I’m glad you managed to beat the bosses and discover where to go!
As for the hunter’s full screen prayer, it can be avoided with a well-timed dash. Try to deal as much damage as possible while he’s busy praying. The blood arrow ability deals more damage than your sword attacks, so try to use that as much as possible.
You’re so close! Good luck!
PS: if you manage to get 100% you can fight a secret boss. You can always go back and find things you’ve missed after beating the game. Although I would avoid interacting with the statue that spawns in the starting room because that will restart your save file on the hard mode
