Okay, can you believe this actually took me longer to do than Genius Destroyer?
Even though it probably looks like an absolute joke, largely because it isn't a hard fight, this is a battle where a lot of unpredictable and annoying things can and more importantly will happen. These include, but are not limited to the following:
- Unpredictable locations for the ground based vine attacks and adds
- Shrubs destroyed by Mutae simply turn invisible
- Dodge either having an extremely low window to avoid an attack or it can't mitigate damage
- If you're hit with a vine while invincible (rushing forward punch attack I was doing) won't lower your health but it is considered damage and your run will no longer be perfect
- Well timed attacks that can't be predicted (jumping while swinging vines forward is impossible to predict and will likely result in you getting hit if you're not perfect)
- Etc
So, with so many luck based elements, this fight turns into more of a DPS race than one of legitimate skill. I found the fist works best, since the dashing forward attack makes you immune to projectile attacks and it's fast enough to chip away at Mutae's health. From there, plan around Mutae's pattern (spawn, summon adds, ground vine attack, jump, projectile, which repeats one more time and then it continues on forever without the add summoning attack). From there, getting all the weapon upgrades makes it possible to kill Mutae before it jumps, meaning it's entirely possible to avoid the second wave of attacks, ultimately limiting the luck required to win. From there, play it slow and only attack when it is safe and you should be able to do it in a couple runs.
