Final Boss(es) were disappointingly easy

[Quibz]

Anyone else feel that way? I literally killed both on my second attempt, they moved slow and had a lot of windows of opportunity for damage. I burned down the Nameless Puppet so fast in the second phase that I was expecting a third phase, I had 2 more healing pots left!

The hardest boss in the game was easily Laxasia the Complete. If I'm being honest, she was the only boss that was truly challenging besides the Black Rabbit Brotherhood (I love that Gank boss so much).

EDIT: So I just did my NG+ run and the bosses are considerably harder. Turns out I was blitzing the bosses too quickly to see the challenge they give. In NG+ they are meat shields so it becomes a battle of endurance

Manus is really easy on NG, yeah. He actually becomes one of the toughest bosses around NG+2 or +3 once each blow becomes capable of knocking out around 80% of your health though.

The Nameless Puppet fight is mostly a matter of getting the rhythm down. Sounds like it just happened to click quicker than usual for you. Still pretty objectively a great boss.

Laxasia is a lot of fun. She gets a little easier once you figure out that you can reflect her lightning balls back at her with perfect guards. Awesome design though.

Oh damn you can deflect them? She was a tough fight and I enjoyed it, it's especially satisfying to pull off a perfect block on her fake-out where she teleports behind before swinging her sword down

I beat Nameless on my second try using an electric charged Etiquette dagger and the aegis shield. For me, the hardest boss by far was the swamp monster.

Yeah I do wish the final bosses were harder and used more varied strategies. In their current states, they're not much more than combo machines.

Note that Manus was significantly nerfed so you played the much easier version too.

I got stuck for 5h on first run agains Nameless Puppet :O
Spent 35h for the whole game and 5h on just a single boss
That's because whole game I was using Specters and dodges only, no parries.
So final fight was SUPER-terrible and hard
However, I can't understand what's hard with Swamp boss, I killed him on ~4 try without Specter on NG+, but suffered a lot with Puppet King

Manus was hard for me when I played for the first time but I first tried Nameless

I don't mind their difficulty that much but I guess it would've been better if Nameless was harder since he's the final boss and all
