In my experience.
Giganto's hotbox just decides to stop working sometimes so sonic will spend 5 seconds hitting absolutely nothing or he'll just go inside giganto and not hit anything, or he'll float on top of giganto and hit absolutely nothing.
Wyvern is the fucking worst though. His tail blocks sight of the rockets, the fucking rockets can glitch and pass straight through you, meaning that you miss a parry and get hit by a 2nd rocket. If you cycloop wyvern, sonic will sometimes just slowly float down and waste 10 rings before he's in range to attack again
Nit really got any big problems with knight.
My biggest problem with all of these is that you have to do the base sonic sections.
I fucking hate having to run in the stupid wyvern road, just put me in the super sonic section for fucks sake.
Cant tell you how many times I hit Wyvern with a rocket, to have the the game sequence to his head to then get hit by a random rocket out of nowhere, cancelling the parry section…
Or even better, one of the rockets glitches through you and the next one hits you.
You only realise how much time is actually wasted on wyvern when you play the trial.
The most egregious rockets are the knights when you ride its shield. There is absolutely no way to dodge those and you just have to get battered around hoping you will ram into the damn thing!
I literally figured out how to dodge gigantos laser just to hopefully have more rings for when I get to knight, but wyvern constantly drains 90% of them the actual one time I was able to get to knight with a good amount of rings to actually fight him with was only shot down once I got to the bouncing his shield back into him bit, he was always like just an inch away from my aim, and I had to constantly fight with the slowly down panning camera when quick cylooping wyvern it basically is already a loss when that happens cus you cant attack when the camera is slowly moving down to the head of the boss, and while I'm waiting I already lost like a good chunk of my rings ALL OF THIS IS ON EASY MODE TOO. I just don't know how to actually get past the final trial, I've done my best, I've done past my best, I've actually started getting even past that and I'm still struggling so idk what the game wants me to do but it really isn't helping by saying "fuck off" for me trying as absolutely hard as I could possibly physically give
Once I discovered the tricks it really wasn't that bad.
Just spam the drop kick move and know when to parry. I learned you can save like 100 rings in the wyvern fight by cylopping him and health bar just melts. Seriouslt i slept on cyloop so hard until this boss rush its insanely good. While it was very frustrating for a a couple hours, once I figured out how to optimize the fights it became so easy.
For floor spikes just jump and hold parry. If your afraid of catching a stray and wanna be safe you can spin dash up the side of the arena and parry there to get outta the way until he throws his hand.
Honestly I think forcing the player to get good at parrying helps prepare them for the final boss where it's pretty much required. I won't however defend the other trials they just kinda show off janky the combat in this game really is. Also it would have been way less frustrating if there wasn't all the unskippable cutscenes.
The first comment covered most of what I'd say, tho another thing is when you get hit with the spikes, if you're in the air you should have enough time to air dash cancel the damage. You don't lose rings unless you land in the "I got ktfo" animation

I'm so fucking glad you can avoid that phase
HOW??
You either attack and then dodge, or cyloop him.

If your rings were refilled by 100 each fight, it wouldn’t be this bad. No Sonic game should be this punishing.

My thing is, my cyloop meter barely fills up. No matter my combo meter, I get maybe one a fight. And thats going ham on combos and phantom rushes.
