Kudos to the team for making the Typhon fight the way it is right now

We've been asking for this, for variety in boss fights. Compared to other fights in the game, this is the most unique, surpassing even Scylla in this aspect. I'm not talking about difficulty or whether it's fun, just that it's not like the others, and that's what we've been expecting for so long. It's nice to know the team heard us and made it.

Personally, I don't hate this fight; I actually like it! I just think it needs some adjustments (the sensation of no depth when the Typhon throws that ball of blood, the damage it does overall... Etc). What about you?

Typhon is awesome, for the reasons stated, and I have to say, I have not yet lost to him. I do use God Mode, though. So that might play a big role there.

Currently, I really don't like it. But it's purely from the lack of visual clarity in the fight. I play on Steamdeck, which hasn't been a problem for the rest of the game, but the small screen combined with how hard it is to tell where the projectiles are on the screen (Are they above me? Do they have active hitboxes? Where do I dodge-) and how MANY there are makes it really not fun.

There's just so much on screen in the later phases of the fight that it's overwhelming and I hate that. So hoping that they adjust colours on the fight so it's easier to see everything, then I might like it more. It doesn't seem a bad fight, it's just...a lot.

I play on PC but i can imagine the frustration to get hit by those little things, as it already feels rly small on the PC screen

I am also on steamdeck most of the time and while enjoyable it gets pretty miserable at 32 fear. Great for convenience, but not optimized for top levels of play I would say. My biggest note about the new boss was also visual clarity. The monochrome red is a bit of a mess and rolling any Ares boons exacerbates the visual issue. While I haven't lost to the boss yet I have lost sight of Mel completely during the fight and honestly in some other biomes as well like Thessaly on occasion. I get rare occasions to play on a larger laptop and the issue is much more manageable, so I hate to form a complete judgement on it simply based on the necessity of a much smaller screen which most likely is not the experience the majority of the player base has who probably play on an average of 20"~30" monitors (guessing). I know when the final game ships I will buy another copy for PS5 which will let me play on my 60" tv which will be an entirely different experience.
