Martyr is such a weird fight for me. Sometimes i am in the zone and can get through him relatively easily, other times i have a weird brain setting turned on and he completely wrecks me.

it's one of my most inconsistent fights as well. one of the big reasons is because he's one of the few bosses that never appears in the chalice dungeons. as a result, you really only fight him ONCE per playthrough. add to that his janky movement, his weird hitbox, etc. etc.

difficult fight + I don't fight him as often as other bosses = really inconsistent

some things that probably do help a lot;

1. He staggers more easily than other bosses. If you stay on him and keep hitting him, you can stunlock him into a pretty long combo chain.
2. He can be parried. Although I find it really annoying to try and parry him, some people are probably way better at it than I am.
3. When he sticks his sword in the ground, and a million flying blades shoot at you from every direction, you can actually lock on to the sword in the ground and shoot it with your gun. When you do that, the flying swords also stop spawning. Although in theory this makes the final phase of the fight easier, the reality is that it's still pretty difficult/annoying to try and lock onto the blade and shoot it while Logarius himself is constantly top of you attacking you and there's projectiles flying at you from every direction. But in theory it should be possible.

He's still a lot more aggressive in that final phase so it can still be tough. All in all, for me, it's a fight that I can usually win if my damage output is high enough. But if my weapon is still lacking in upgrades, and especially lacking in blood gems, I won't even bother. Easier to win by out damaging him rather than relying on finesse or skill..
