Yeah, Beastmen and Crystalians with boomerang weapons are the bane of my existence. It takes multiple attempts for me to settle on the correct dodge-rolling rhythm to avoid those attacks (that or I'm just a really bad player lol).
Just rewatched that 9:00 area of the video and if I had to guess I probably left to answer the mail man or use the bathroom lol my bad. Yeah it was super nerve-wracking when they were close to me. Getting in and out of that state takes a while too so if I got spotted they would've had the jump on me!
