Question regarding Godborn

[borizb]

So i just finished Canon of Vengeance, but i read online i need to defeat the final boss on a new game plus. Will it work if i do Canon of Creation as my second run or do i need to run Vengeance a second time?

to unlock godborn? no that can be done on the first playthrough, you need to go to the place where you first met Mastema and follow his questline, at the end you will have to fight a superboss (hardest one in the game) to be able to unlock godborn mode

If you have clear data present, go back to your prior save before you cleared game. Mastema appears at 3rd area.

That's actually helpful. The normal final boss felt like a pushover on normal after you beat Shiva first, and nowhere near as tough as Dagda or Demifiend.

Very excited to see who the real enemy is now

Edit: Hey, also the rank violation and skill overwriting are already availably on the pre clear save! Who would've guessed :)

Am i meant to face him in the current state i'm in, not on new game plus?
Cause i'm playing on normal and didn't fail a single fight (defated Shiva and Dagda) but that dude hits me with -1200hp attacks even when i guard. My enduring souls are gone after 5 minutes and after that i'm only healing and switching in demons or dekaja/dekunda/luster candy until mp run out on my highly support optimized demons.

And i see that people on youtube who mastered the fight have demons with all stats at 120 or more and still get one shotted. Can it be done without grinding massively and some luck, cause obiously as soon as he hits Nahobino for the 3rd time, the fight is over. Which happened to me twice in a row now. Same as the Dagda fight, but for other mechanics (instakill on phys hit).

This games' superbosses are 3x harder than Nocturne's on normal even with pretty much perfectly optimized builds.
