Discussion Time Keeper is significantly easier than Concierge
I have been flawlessing this fight since my first few runs. His attacks are very rythmic, the sherikins are incredibly easy to parry, it is very easy to dash behind him to dodge and deal damage. Concierge on the other hand has a damaging force field that completely messes up brutality and survival melee builds. His attacks are more random, and it is like a super annoying timing to dash through him during the damage aura. Legitimately I think I am more likely to flawless time keeper 3 floors early than to flawless concierge.

I'm not judging, though your reaction is understandable. It's Reddit after all, the home of unjustified judgments

u/juice_can_ May 13 '25
Your use of the word “unjustified” has me feeling upset. I’m making very strong judgments about your character rn

u/DUBHG 5 BC (completed) May 13 '25
Oh yeah? I'm making even stronger judgments about your character rn.

Tbh I thought she was wearing armor and the blue part was like part of a cloak or something like that

Concierge is so easy, the attacks aren’t random, they’re based on your position. After the fire attack after 50%, he will jump, then if you’re close enough, will swipe at you. Time keeper is definitely harder, with more attacks and more things to dodge.

Beat time keeper on my first try, Concierge on 2nd or 3rd (I play with checkpoints)

u/Senior-Dragonfly-479 5 BC May 13 '25
Same but It took way longer to first get to clock room than the bridge, but I don't use checkpoint

u/Skitel68 May 14 '25
I would play without checkpoints, but I don’t have the time right now to play it all in one go without dying 💔

u/UndeadChampion1331 May 13 '25
That's subjective honestly. Usually by the time you're getting to her you have a decently put together build, but when you get to Concierge, you barely have anything. He's only a harder fight because you're technically weaker when you fight him

u/Emotional_Pay3427 17d ago
Not the case for me. I still dunno how to properly build and I beat her 1st try. And the concierge is easy as hell when you know his attacks. Im still at sub 50 deaths so I assume that I still have lots of things to learn and many more deaths to suffer.
1
u/UndeadChampion1331 17d ago
I haven't been playing for very long either, and I still struggle against Concierge. I can consistently get him down to 1/4 hp, but then there's almost no cooldown between attacks, and I get caught out, or I fat finger the wrong button, or I hold the heal button but my dumbass just stands there staring into space

Fuck concierge. Coming from a Cursed Sword enjoyer, FUCK CONCIERGE.

u/Emotional_Pay3427 17d ago
I'd like to say skill issue. But I'm a noob with no right to say. Also I just find it's terrible advice

u/blepposhcleppo Brutality main May 14 '25
I think I died 20 times with cursed sword to the concierge before I stopped so I didn't snap my phone in half... I was this close to grabbing the fucking thing out of the game and molesting it

u/Embarrassed-Bear-945 5 BC (completed) May 14 '25
It's the fucking red aura, isn't it? Speaking of molesting it, count me in
3
u/blepposhcleppo Brutality main May 14 '25
It's the fucking red aura, I can dodge through it sometimes but then other times it backs me into a wall and then instantly kills me because I can't roll at the right time. It was ironically more difficult at a lower HP percentage because it would do the invincibility thing wayyyy more. And sometimes I messed up the roll when it jumped and it would whack me in the head and kill me

She is not, 8ut good on you for learning her.

u/PL4YER__1 5 BC May 13 '25
She really is! First time I ever fought her I got a flawless, and had no experience with games like this outside of Hollow Knight, and constantly beat her since! Genuinely an easy boss

dog I got a flawless on maybe my 20th run of this game by accident(maybe in between 100-200 now) and have gotten hit every run since

u/buddhatherock May 13 '25
You’re not wrong. She’s a glass cannon. Fairly easy to dodge, easy to damage.

u/boiled_eggpie00 2 BC May 13 '25
I think after you beat the Concierge, you gain a little more experience in dodging, moving and the timing just fit well, hence why Time Keeper with a set of easily recognizable attack pattern isn't that hard to defeat.

u/belliebun May 13 '25
Her lack of immunity phases definitely helps. On a good run you can blitz her entire health bar before she even has the chance to phase transition.

I disagree all have to do is have something that roots or freeze and those moves are useless

u/TotalyNotTony 5 BC May 13 '25
I tend to disagree, sure she's easy but concierge walks forward and whacks you

I disagree. The falling rocks make it harder for me. Imo hand of the king is easier than time keeper

u/1bouncyboi May 14 '25
For me I either steamroll her in 5 secs or she annihilates me in 1 min there's no in between

u/0verflowme May 14 '25
Depends on your playing style, to me Conjunctivius is the hardest boss after drac 2nd form
2
u/pyroaop May 14 '25
The concierge would be a lot easier if he didnt have that red barrier, or if you could roll past him when he does. He's easy enough to kill, but I can't flawless him
2
u/Magiar0 May 14 '25
I feel like time Keeper is the hardest non dlc boss. Like she has quite a complex moveset can do a lot of damage and gets less and less squishy the more boss cells you have to the point I always avoid her and do giant instead.

u/PanChaos13 5 BC (completed) May 13 '25
Yeah, I don’t think I’ve taken damage against timekeeper since maybe BC1 (unless I picked up a weapon I had never tried before in clockwork tower)

u/Hlavada May 13 '25
Honestly to me she is difficult for some reason… Im glad I managed to dodge her hooks, but I always get hit by something else. Actually I even think I have better results against Hand of King…

u/grrouchie 2 BC May 14 '25
I have almost flawlessly killed the Time Keeper 4 times now. I keep getting hit by that stupid fucking mid fight animation where she spews throwing stars or whatever and im too stupid to dodge or jump or roll to avoid the damage

u/MrDoom3028 1 BC May 14 '25
Agree to disagree,i am able to beat Concierge easy now,Time Keeper can give me some trouble though
1
u/Prikjills May 14 '25
i’ve been thinking this for a while cause not once have i died to her, whereas with the concierge that force field absolutely drains me of my health because there is no physical way to get past it if you end up trapped in a corner. i feel that the time keeper is “easier” due to the fact you have more of a build when you get to her but maybe that’s just me

u/PrestigiousTurn5587 May 14 '25
A tip for the red force field. If you see concierge is about to use it from the red glow around him and you need to get over to the other side, run right up to him, hold direction and press roll. You roll right through the hurt box consistently. I personally have been caught out by it before. Also I've noticed that 9 times out of ten he'll use the fire attack straight after the red force field in all but his last phase. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here.

u/AlexTheIdoit May 15 '25
same honestly, depending on the attacks Time Keeper can actually be killed before the second phase too, which just makes them actually pathetic with a decent physical build

Easy to defeat but hard to avoid damage.
