is Chronos overtuned?

[Sebs]

Is it just me or is the last boss Chronos way too overtuned?

not only does he have a MASSIVE health bar which i wont mind that much personally, but his attack tells are way too subtle and my man is doing a MASSIVE 60 damage per hit most of the time, just how absurd is that? hades in hades 1 did like 30 damage if you somehow got hit so not only did he do half of the damage that chronos does he had way easier tells for the attacks.

like 3rd floor boss cerberus does like 30-40 damage per hit which is fine and has a massive health pool, but that boss has easier tells and more ways to avoid his strikes like being behind him and such.

so overall i think Chronos needs his damage lowered and/or atleast have his attack tells be far more easier to see and react, as he is now i do not enjoy fighting him at all just cause it doesn't seem like a fair fight at all, im not one of those people that cry because boss is hard and im bad for not getting past them, but i am a person who thinks that unfair bosses are just bad design.

I managed to beat him because I had the boon that trades 100 max life for regen, which allowed me to step back and dodge for a bit to get back up, otherwise, I agree he hits like a truck.
I disagree however on the tells, after a while, it's very doable to recognize the patterns.

Yea, I feel he's just poorly designed overall tbh. Way too much damage, ridicules hurt boxes... he's just dumb. Even when you beat him it doesn't feel rewarding like beating Hades in the first one. Hope they fix this garbage fight, if not I'm sure mods will. It's just, ironically, a matter of time.

where do you find this boon? XDD i would love that!!

nah ur not wrong. chronos damage is obscene. like I melted him down to second phase sure but dang he just hits way to hard!! Even when I was stacked with everything... Ugh i only managed to get him once to second phase. its ridiculous and some of those rooms with the massive amounts of monster spawns is disgusting, like it just throws you in there with chaos and GOOD luck! they either need to nerf his damage or yeah, make him a bit less damage sponge

[bark]

the 60 damage sounds off, are you sure you didn't have blessing of strife on? i agree though, his telegraphs feel a bit wack. especially in his lower health stages where he starts comboing, the windups start to get different timing between attacks ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up your dodge timing and forcing you to learn through what feels like trial and error

it's definitely possible to do, but it feels a bit overly mean and jank

I posted about that boon in this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1145350/discussions/0/4357872738331684552/

It is by far the most OP thing I have found so far. It made all bosses too easy once you get your max HP to somewhat a decent size so that you can tank few hard hits and then just hide in a corner to regen. Better use it until devs nerf it lol.

This boss is by no means easy but not harder than hades was relative to the experience we had with that game when it came out so give it some time, patience and effort to learn the moves and audio queues. This guy grunts before he attacks with his scythe so open your ears for that and keep your dash ready. The 3 dash attacks in Phase 1 were particulary dangerous but can be weakened when he is in the circle (he only dashes a very small distance then). In Phase 2 he can oneshot you if you don't pay attention to the safe zones on the ground but is a bit easier imo. That guy took me 4 tries which is reasonable.

OK, and what about deaf people? Deaf people not allowed to play games now?

[Retsubty]

Also there is no way you have all the upgrades in this game yet either.

There are an OBSCENE amount of upgrades in this game.

I got Chronos down to like 1/8th of his healthbar. I think it's safe to say I will kill him eventually.

[PEWPEWPEW]

I killed him 3 times and i must say, some of his moves should have different audio cues, like he always kinda grunts the same on dash/swipe/throw attack, and some of his attacks are almost impossible to predict because of that

blitz and kite boys blitz and kite good luck melee builds

[Kieran]

yes

Gamers as soon as a game has the slightest bit of challenge: THIS IS OVERTUNED!

[Epicfayle]

Well I don't know if it was a bug or not but in his second phase during one of his one shot nuke attacks, he was channeling his wind attack, spawning more monsters, and meleeing.
There were two dials that had safe spots so I am not sure if that normal part of the phase.

His whirling attack that tracks then shoots needs to have a much further forward hurt box, I was trying to backstab him with dagger and scythe and on my final attack it would lunge me forward into the spinning blades even at what seemed like a reasonable distance AND the projectile that shoots out will hit you if you are too close to him behind as well.

The fight has some good design, needs numbers tweaks and hitbox tweaks.

[Iris Heart]

No. He is sufficiently strong. I've beaten him a couple of times. You feel overwhelmed first couple of battles, but then when you have a good idea about his moves and reach him with a decent enough build, he is more than doable. I didn't even spend all my revives the times I killed him. Same with Eris. Extremely overwhelming first couple of times, but becomes pretty manageable after you learn her stuff, to the point of me being able to take about 3/4 of her health bar without getting hit.
