Aargh (rant)

This is just kinda to vent but I'm so annoyed. I got back from school today and thought "Hey it'd be fun to play some noita" so I did. After dying early a couple times, I had a decent run with some chainsaws and add mana super early. I play through it and ended up spending like 10 minutes running around every area above the vault with 10hp and somehow survived long enough to find a healing bolt and a way to use it. At this point I thought I could prob beat kolmi and add to my 3 wins. But nooooo, I decided to try something new and tried to beat the alchemist for the first time cuz Greek letters seem super useful. Long story short, got a rapid fire triple bullets, seemed good enough, so I went through that dark cave next to the first area for the first time and found that alchemist area place (idk what it's called). Somehow survived being polyed for a minute and then stumbled into him. It might be obvious but I did not beat him. He has a shield that seems to go away for .5 seconds then every projectile shot returns to you when the shield goes back up. He has high enough health that even if I do manage to hit him it's just a sliver of health. He's dumb and I hate him. 2 hours wasted. I'll probably still try again tomorrow tho.

Context: I'm fairly new and only have like 90 hours and 3 wins. I do like to look at wiki and the sub so thats how I knew about the alchemist but not much more than where he was and what he drops.
