Which boss = quit the game?

[catnipdave]

It would be interesting to find where players have reached in the game before quitting. I've got to Fallen Archbishop Andreus and called it a day.

[Goodfella]

Don't give up, game is good, the next couple of chapters after that are great. I've done two bosses after the Archbishop and still going.

[Hibuki]

I kept going until area VIII and am seriously considering quitting as well - the combat is simply too punishing for the average player.

I know when I'm beat :)
Until the cheese is found.

Puppet King. Stopped counting after 60 tries. Maybe I'm 65, maybe 80.

My vitriol may seem extreme if you haven't seen the rest of my comments on various threads, but ♥♥♥♥ everybody, including Miyazaki, who thinks it is OK to have two different bosses back to back with no checkpoint.

If that's you, you don't understand souls and are a disgrace to the spirit of the genre.

Since you're giving a list, I just beat number 14 (and everyone before him) and am still going (not sure for how long).

The swamp boss (act 8). I can't beat that MF. I just can't. I am so F***** mad... the difficulty is so high, that makes no sense. I'm level 82 and I feels like I'm 20 levels under. I'm giving it today. I beat it or I quit and play something else.

There is a point where the difficulty stops being fun and for me this boss is it. It kills me in three hits, it has red attacks, normal attacks that go half the stage, attacks under the floor, breaks your weapons and, if that's not enough, a second phase. Where the thing just go insane after you, so you have to be close. But if you block or dodge, you don't have energy left to attack. Yes, fire, sure, throw fire crap at it, sure, now go farm, die, farm, die, farm die. See how fun that is. Again, when I rage quit today, and I'm very close, I'm done with the game. It's one thing that the game is punishing, is another one that the game isn't fair.

This boss is absurd. If you beat it, good for you. For some of us, it's just too much.

[Hibuki]

Zyrconia, I feel you. This game is so difficult that it feels unfair many times. Not sure why I'm still playing (hopefully not masochism xD)

That's the last one I killed. The next one (15) is the one that is going to make me quit. For sure. I had no trouble killing every boss until this one. Some elites are absurd too, but this boss is just too much for me..

[Hibuki]

D, I felt the same emotions earlier today because of the mini bosses in the swamp - specifically the mad clown. I may end up quitting if the swamp monster is too much. At a certain point too difficult stops being fun.

swamp monster is the hardest boss in the game imo... the ones after are hard too but not as annoying... dont give up and good luck guys

[Zaraki]

I quit somewhere after the puppet king, game is just too cluncy to be worth my time.

In my 2nd playthrough I took a break from Laxasia until I found her dirty little secret

Door Guardian was optional? He drops the key to open the stone switches.

I just run away from those. I cannot defeat those either. I just don't have the skill to perfect parry everything to have energy left to hit them (over and over again..). But this boss? I wish you good luck friend. Maybe it's easy for you, depends on the person and the way they play.

All I can say is that, for me, this is not fun at all. The moment I had to start running away from elites, because I couldn't defeat them... anyway, I'm going to give it a few more tries and then probably uninstall and play Cyberpunk =)
