Demon Peak (2017)

beat the final boss. this game was shorter than i imagined it would be.

but i clearly missed a bunch of hidden stuff? i'm missing a few health upgrades, a ton of mana upgrades, and there were just some places i could not get to, stuff behind barriers on the ceiling (there's no up attack to break them?), a large gap in the final area with no way to cross, one of those looping rooms over in the monastery, and some item underground in the first room with seemingly no way to get to it

i'm pretty lost about it considering there's no more abilities so i'm not sure what i'm missing.

i'd like to get 100% but i'll probably just have to check a guide

the first boss (or at least the first i fought), the serpent boss, is horribly designed... i can't even tell if it's glitched or not. sometimes the body hurts you (for like 50% of your health, because it's not balanced at all), and then other times the body just passes through you?

i won by just standing inside the snake's body and hitting it over and over while it did its water beam attack, which is super unsatisfying and cheap because you can take out like 75% of its health in one cycle of that

but even without that, the boss kills you in 2-3 hits and it moves so fast i don't see any way to even react to it

also ran into a glitch where i died at the same time as the boss once, leading to the fight ending but me just being a corpse afterwards and not being able to do anything - and then if i reloaded my save file i stayed at a corpse at the most recent save point. had to restart the game.
