About Simon Manus

[Peek-A-Boo!]

So, what's up with hate towards his boss fight? I beat the game a lot of time with different builds on my PS and everytime I beat him I'm doing it on my first, rarely second try and I still have no clue what makes him so irritating to a lot of people.

He used to have A LOT more health than he does now. If you're reading complaints about him, perhaps it is pre-nerf?

Pre nerf, he was pretty bad, he was super tanky and his move set would just repeat over and over. He was a boss that overstayed his welcome.

Wow, I saw. Alright, now I get it

Have you not tried ng+ yet? Cause Manus on just ng+2 was literally ridiculous. Easily one of the hardest fights I’ve ever done.

I beat it at the initial release and got to NG+3 with XGP, and since now we have soon the DLC, i bought it currently on steam. what i can tell you is the HP of simon at initial release for NG (first playthrough) is comparable to the value between NG+ and NG++, while you still not unlocked the T6 and T7 passives, it was very hard to beat him. Similar for the most bosses, the current state of NG difficulty feels like babysitting if compared to the initial release state

if i recall it correctly, the bosses got their hp almost halfed after the first major patch (or you call it nerf)

I don't even know what are you on saying ''most of bosses'' where only bosses affected by nerf were archbishop, simon and king of puppets even laxasia or brbh gang wasn't nerfed at all.

Only other diffrence which could ever apply to making bosses easier is buffing specter but seriously who even uses specters in this game.

I'm old, on my first playthrough, and refuse to play sober. Specter balances some of that out.

On NG+... 2? I think I used them to see how they worked for some bosses. It's nice they exist for some players that are really struggling.

idk after Laxasia nothing seems difficult :D
