update: I have made this fight significantly harder and flashier after this. I love it so much but it's soooo hard, i don't know if people will like it (i like it BECAUSE it's hard now). but i don't want to change it! watdo!?
You might want to watch this on an oled screen. It's pretty dark. After a, I don't know, 5 years hiatus, I'm back to work on my megawad. Reworked this boss a little bit to be less of a bullet sponge and way more aggressive and agile. It's a lot more fun to fight now!
IMPORTANT: This works because my steam deck is running windows 10. It won't work on steam OS.
0:48 - FrameGen ON, but dynamic res is glitching
2:25 - Turn dynamic res OFF and increase graphics settings.
4:31 - Settings cranked even further beyond to compare
5:00 - Framegen On with high settings
5:56 - Max settings, NatAA FSR, FG OFF
6:16 - Max settings, NatAA FSR, FG ON
Sorry for the off-screen handheld cellphone camera and lack of metrics, but riva tuner crashes the game (and doesnt work anyway), and i don't have a better way to capture the screen.
But what matter is that it does work and it does improve performance A LOT. See the later parts of the video when i increase graphics settings and switch it on and off to compare. It's completely visible how much it improves even in this video.
Someone with a capture card and patience do this video correctly.

I made the character in my visual novel sing along with the "I'm a believer" song from shrek as a test. Her voice is AI-generated. The singing voice is a different neural network than the speaking voice. The singing one tends to have a lot of artifacts, that's why i made her sing along with the song and posted a phone recording of the screen instead of the raw video. both cheap cheats to mask the artifacts as much as i can without going through the effort of fixing them :P

This is a Diablo 1 MOD called "Tchernobog" or something like that. Torment difficulty. Things are just infinite damage sponges for no reason.

Not much of interest down here, but you can land in an otherwise impossible to reach place that has a pretty nice view for pics, i guess.
And oh, it can totally be used for sequence breaking.

Geo unfortunately didn't get ANY love in the new region yet, but it is still doing just fine.
This is a straight casual run, no prep, random buffs (lucked out and got crit on the first chamber but the other two were useless), no resets, no real research or training (my second time running the abyss, the other one was a week ago), I just went with the teams I wanted to. So times aren't particularly great. I think venti is needed in side 1, and fischl would be better than xinqgiu on side 2 specially against the dendro chicken.
Using double geo double electro is nostalgic and satisfactory to me. Used to be my go-to in early genshin. Mushroom lizard is the best boss ever made in genshin. Zero stall, zero running away, fully aggressive. If only there were more like him. to be fair rock frog is pretty good too, but he has too much geo res (•ˋ _ ˊ•)
ps: My Noelle has been upgraded! Swapped out her timepiece and her goblet for a better Duo, so she has more crit rate, more crit damage, more energy recharge (lol, it's still basically 0) and i think maybe a bit more defense too! 89/213 is a damn good ratio. albedo is now slightly weaker though. by not much.
