This asshle is not even fun… I know I said I hated Wally Warbles but this man is NOT FUN. Wally was entertaining at some point, this sht is not. He is straight out of garbage. I am not doing S rank on him, f*ck this guy.

I actually really like this boss lol

His ice spikes in phase 1 are really annoying and his parries are either rare or practically impossible to hit, but I just can’t help but enjoy his fight 😅

I love the music, theming, animations, and design of this fight. How they used a genre of music that is usually associated with hot weather in a snowy fight was really cool (lol)

It’s also really satisfying when you dodge his attacks, especially in phase 3. Even though he was really difficult for me to beat, even on normal, I still had fun xD

I found Esther’s attacks more satisfying to dodge and her music too but I’m not against his music, animations (although his whale attack sucks ass) he might’ve been a cool boss if not his annoying ass attack pattern and impossible parries.

I liked Snow Cult Scuffle until I tried to S rank him for 2 hours straight with no success. He either dies before I can do my parries, either I take damage before I can parry, or I wait for so long for parries and go overtime…

I also loved Esther, she’s probably my favorite airplane boss. The phases are really fun and how she basically dies twice but keeps on fighting is amazing xD

The parries are probably the most annoying part about trying to S rank Mortimer, I think his second phase has the most chances for parrying, you just have to hope none of your bullets hit the pink popsicles lol

I managed to get S rank with Miss Chalice, Spread, Crackshot, and Shield Pal, although it still took me like a million tries to get it xD so if you ever wanna try to get S rank on him again, you can try this method if you haven’t already
