Iron wayfarer is an awful Boss, and just now realizing this game is quite bad

[Cåt]

You fight this ♥♥♥ splattering dingus in a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ matchbox of an arena.

I started this game optimistic and open minded, hell I initially really enjoyed it, but this game just reuses enemies and mini bosses, and comes up with the worst bosses imaginable. I literally don't think there's a single new unique area enemy after beacon 2.

LMAO Wait until you get to the last two bosses lmao. You're really gonna question the entire play through then xD

I didn't mind the Iron Wayfayer but like all the other bosses in the game, He is quite a mid experience. He does drop a great(no pun inteded) Hammer though.

Yeah! What he said! What the ♥♥♥♥ is even this?

Upon finally beating him, apparently the trick is literally don't even try to block. If you try to parry him you can't see and get hit by secondary effects. Still feels like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Zero satisfaction getting past him. No sense of accomplishment, all I did was figure out the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gimmick and even removing particle effect blindness the camera was still a more difficult opponent than the boss itself.

Literally the worst boss in the game. It's not that it's difficult, it's just that it's a bad design.

- Extremely limited area for combat.
- Vision blocked due to the amount of blue garbage on the screen (or red, depending on the ending).
- Brutal fps drops due poor optimization. (And I play on ps5)

I think they said in some patch that they reduced the frame drops during this battle, but for me every single time is still not an enjoyable experience. It is just bad.

The entire area afterwards is bad too. It's hard on the eyes and there's so much ♥♥♥♥ going on all the time that I've just been running past everything so far.

Ya, I straight up gave up on this game an hour after making this post, because I was honestly so miserable playing in the following area, because they think throwing 5 different mini bosses at you constitutes good level design. I just left my negative review and uninstalled

Ironically, pyromancy seems to melt everything to death. Once you get inside the castle the eye pain goes away quite a bit too. I took a couple days off after leaving a negative review too. I'm leaving my negative review up too until they fix this nonsense. In it's current state the game isn't even worth buying, and the only reason I'm still playing is because I spent money on it and I'm treating it like a punishment at this point. "You will think next time you purchase. You will not buy into hype. You will think next time you purchase. You will not buy into hype. You..."

Nah it's pretty well accepted that it's a design issue. The boss itself isn't any more difficult than a normal mob, it's the particle effects and camera. Sounds like you're just a ♥♥♥♥.

Can't understand the insults, maybe I touched a nerve. That boss fight is horrible, but I wouldn't write a post to complain about it. Don't like the game? Pass over.

I think it's important to talk about bad elements of a game, and I do apologize for coming off aggressive in the post itself. I was just very upset at the time, after having softlocked myself twice at lightreaper, just because i summoned Pieta to help (he would keep attacking her even if she was dead, and would stand around without a hitbox even when his healthbar was depleted and gone)

The game does do exploration pretty good I think, I just also think this game falls short on so many levels, especially noticeable when compared to Lies of P, which i have about 4 playthroughs of, and I couldn't stand to finish this game once

Cant understand why you'd even say it's a skill issue right before admitting you think the boss fight is horrible, and then claiming you don't understand why you're being insulted. You deserve it, and so does the game.

2025 doign this game, this fight is the WORST DESIGNED FIGHT i have ever seen. You are fighting with the camera all the time because the arena is way to damn small. HOW this has not been fixed years after release, especially with the 2.0 release to try and bring more players into the game, is beyond me. Clearly the Dev Team didnt care about all the complaints I see about this fight. TOTAL nightmare. Glad I got my refund for it. I refuse to play it now on principle of this fight.

Doing the game in 2025, having the conversation in 2023...

Also, skill issue.
