It’s okay, I got past him a long time ago. This post was from 1 month ago. But thank you for the comment anyway, in case someone else needs help with Cagney Carnation :)
GOOD NEWS: I UNLOCKED THE DLC, BOUGHT THE CRACKSHOT WEAPON FOR 4 COINS, AND I CAN GET PAST CAGNEY'S 1ST AND 2ND PHASES. BAD NEWS: I KEEP DYING THE SECOND HIS FINAL PHASE BEGINS. ANY TIPS OR TRICKS TO HELP ME GET THIS FLOWER'S SOUL?
