TrulySilentLie Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 So, at the final boss during my initial run, doing hard mode no subweapons on bosses, and... I just can't say I've had fun against the bosses. The rest of the game has had its grievances, for sure, some of the enemy design is just beyond stupid. But it's the bosses that tends to be the most rewarding aspects of these kinds of games, the first one did that pretty okay (though it did have similar problems). In this game however, either you break the boss by using the weapon fairy (doesn't work for all bosses, granted, sadly not for the final boss) or you have one hell of a time trying to learn the fight, let alone beat it. Some bosses in particular have me scratching my head thinking how to even do "legit" without the fairy (like Anu and Hel) but yeah, for anyone struggling, if you can get the weapon fairy, use it for every boss, it helps. Some fights it even handles on its own. So, now to the final boss... It's just a mess. Several phases of poorly telegraphed attacks with RNG that often will ensure you get hit, and the boss does way too much damage for this to be a feasible war of attrition. Phase 3 in particular essentially forces me to take 100-200 damage minimum, and that's with the cheese fairy strat I've found. The final phase then, the actual fight, I have too little health to properly fight and learn all patterns... All in all, I am unsure when I'll beat it, but I'm not sure I'll feel happy/accomplished when I do. Because a victory at this stage feels like it will depend on RNG being with me too much for me to wanna credit it to skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrulySilentLie Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 I did, and it answered by dropping a huge... disc I guess on me, crushing my hopes and dreams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrulySilentLie Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 Just beat it... There are some patterns to it and you can manage it, but I think the combination of a bad third phase and a super long final phase does kinda ruin it a bit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrulySilentLie Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 I am. No subweapons against the main bosses is already enough of a pain of a challenge mode to do on hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrulySilentLie Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 No thanks, I'm not that masochistic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killbomb Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I played the first game on Steam and it felt nearly impossible without a guide. The obscure puzzles that required extensive note taking or the use of the aforementioned guide sapped a lot of the fun out if it. I still kind of enjoyed it but not sure if I want to bother with the sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrulySilentLie Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 The sequel is... less and more of that, to be honest. It's a bit more streamlined at times and if you're prepared to take notes than things can go well, but at the same time some of the puzzles were so asinine I just had to use a guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
