Too many bosses have off-screen attacks

[Wintermute]

If I would ever like to get killed by random ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ flying outside of the screen edge, I would reinstall Path of Exile.

Poliphemus has offscreen shockwave
Eris primes her attacks offscreen
Cerberus shoots his firebreath offscreen
Chronos has... entirety of his kit, really

Their arenas are too big.

Poliphemus and Chronos force you to disengage the boss to deal with adds spawning in - running half way to canadian border only for the boss to fling their ♥♥♥♥ at you from outside of view.

Cerberus and Eris really like to ♥♥♥♥ out continent-sized AOE, that covers half of their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ arenas, once again forcing you to disengage - only for the boss to prime an attack at you from offscreen.

This is absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Hades 1 didn't suffer from it that much, because majority of bosses actively chased you and generally stayed on your screen.

More impornantly, boss attacks in H1, even the most potent ones, didn't take half of your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ healthbar in single hit. The boss damage in H2 is incredibly overtuned, and if you expect me not to get hit - make sure I'm nor fired at from outside of my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ view.

The camera zooms so far out during Cerberus that I didn't know it was possible for him to be off screen. Sorry, but between that, my personal experience not matching up with yours, and the general tone of your post, I suspect this isn't an issue with the game and you're overreacting.

You should make a mega thread containing all the complaints you have with the game 😂

75% of the post would just be red hearts and nothing actually legible

Flashbacks to EA Hades shaving off 60 HP with a single spear swipe.

Only Chronos' dash is one he does from the combo offscreen to catch up, you can dodge it by sound cue and other way works by baiting swipes into backdashing away

You can react by dashing into sprinting for Cerberus' breath, his nuke wolves also have hefty sound cues and he always does it towards you

I have big problems with some things in the Chronos and Cerberus fights but these ain't it boss

Big attacks were only an issue, to me, before I learned how the bosses worked. Now I breeze through the Underworld. I would say this is a skill issue, not a faulty game issue, but, I have no intention of gatekeeping another player's opinions or enjoyment; if enough crave it, then perhaps an easy mode is warranted.

Most of the attacks can be avoided if you are far enough.
I think only the cyclops has an attack that actually goes up to the end of the screen.

Also when you learn their patterns you more or less know when the big attack is coming so you can dash over it and avoid being hit.

I hate to say this, but it's more of a skill issue.
