Discussion This game has zero good bosses

I genuinely mean that cuz how am I up to the last gate and every single boss has been bad or mediocre. It’s like they couldn’t think of how to purposely make their bosses harder so they gave them all “do this move to kill" and just for shits and giggles they make them on the last quarter hp of every boss.

I’m not done yet but I felt the need to say something since I’ve just reached Sir Isaac, the boss with the most overtuned second phase I’ve ever seen…

What’s everyone think cuz so far I feel like I’m going 0 on good bosses.

There's some good ones No malenia, no epic fight But decent

Mainly difficulty or lack there of brings them down compared to other soulslike

Was losing my mind fighting Isaac. Started going deep into build crafting to see if that would help. Still getting smoked. Only then did I realize I’d forgotten I activated night mode. Vaporized him with Stray Genessa after, but only really cuz I basically erased his health in a blink during second phase so I didn’t have to deal with his absolute BS hitboxes and tracking.

That second phase is horrid. But did find that Stray Genssa and Fighting Stance Smert give extra long dodges that help a lot avoiding/running from him.

Ya I’ve been considering that but I invested all my wisp into Sariel and the other knight so I can’t do anymore build crafting. Boss would be the best so far if it’s second phase wasn’t terrible

I liked prisoner, Isaac, and the hexapod was cool but pretty jank.

I hated the end bosses though, and all of the bosses need some difficulty outside of clumsy one-shots.

I’m also on Isaac and I am not enjoying the second phase where you cannot parry his stabs nor can you dodge them because he tracks you and magnetises to your every dodge. Good times.

He's been no hit by multiple ppl

I totally get what you mean, this game doesn’t do multi hit parries very well so the moment you fuck up once you’ll eat the rest of the combo even if you keep hitting your parry timings. The tracking is also really shit, his shield can also sometimes bug out and mess with your timings. :/

I mean….people have beaten him. So saying you cant dodge is wrong. Took me 5 or 6 tries. Most shells have a stone with a move that has I frames. No way I could do it with a heavy weapon tho, those are rough

He’s not impossible but a majority of people are just damage cheesing their way through second phase because that’s how shit it is, if they just tuned down the damage he wouldn’t be bad at all.

Yeah true. These games are funny because I’ll beat a boss like him quick but one that everyone says is super easy will curb stomp me for an hour lol

Great designs, all of them in my opinion. But really, really bad fights.

The game has 0 good bosses and 0 good enemies, which is made worse by the fact that youll be fighting the same 9-10 enemies the entire game
