Am i supposed to backtrack?

[Vexillarius]

Some of enemies are just straight out one shotting me. Do i get to come back and fight them later or do you just miss out on stuff if i skip fights?

Unless you run into something that has an extreme amount of health, or deals an overkill amount of damage to you, you can pretty much defeat every enemy at time of meeting them, perhaps with a slight grind.

Every enemy in the main areas can be defeated as you meet them. What can't be defeated immediately are the major bosses in optional side areas, until much later.

So is chromatic troupadour supposed to be fought later? He doesn't have much health but if you dont do all his dodges perfectly he just wrecks me.

You can out level them and comeback or fight them head on and master their attack pattern and keep dodging/countering them. Rely on heals and revive (don't be shy to use these, they refill when u rest).

Now, that guy and the Borean (can never remember the name of the giant tall thing that eats you) are certainly tough. Those 2, and the sea mime are all the first difficulty spikes you'll run into. For so long I was finding the game too easy until them.

In any case, like with most bosses, I just had to learn how they worked and made my way through them.

Anyone fight the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Mime thing? I can't figure out how to beat it. He puts up his wall and I do like 10 damage to him.

Mimes, and all enemies for that matter, have a bar that builds up. When it fills, they are stunned. Gustave's overcharge is best for this.

Yes there are countless optional bosses that are very impractical to fight early on and some encounters are genuinely not meant to be fought until way later in the game.

Honestly every enemy you meet during story areas can be defeated around the time you find them. It's just the super bosses on the world map/side areas that pretty much require late game characters, or perfect parrying 100 turns in a row.

[Grim]

Yes, get to the end of Act 2 / start of act 3 and then go back and do all of the eploration since by then Esquie should be upgraded for all travel and you should be leveled enough.

You need to break his wall.
You need to have 5AP with Gustav and his hand charged 10/10. Then use overcharged attack and it will break his defences. This move is extremely good so it's worth to learn how to charge it.

To break his wall you have to Fracture it, and honestly yes Mime is annoying to deal with at the begining of the game but at the end you will realize he is the easiest mob to deal with lol
Has only 2 patern of attacks once you memorized them he like never hit you and it's just Free counter attack until you have build his fracture bar and just finish him off

Short answer: yes. Some optional bosses in some of the early levels are very, very difficult at lower levels. You can, in theory still beat them, if you are a parry god who can parry everything. But chances are one hit will eventually get through.

Write down where you encountered an enemy you need to return to later, the game won't tell you what things are still unfinished it any of the levels.

I left a lot of monsters for later. I only got back to kill one for now. The backtracking is awful because we forget the map layout without a minimap, wastes a lot of time exploring everything again. You can try farming until you kill everything you encounter, if you know you want to 100% the game. The farming will be useful to advance harder story fights.

[Bran]

to chroma boss, yes it will be good, someone of them you can kill right when you meet them, and iin early game there is few blocked loaction on early maps, blocked by that dark, blue roots

[Elondre]

Don't fight the chromas. They are almost always unfun and offer barely any reward lets be honest. You can come back later in the game and just curbstomp them to get what u missed.
Don't try to fight any monster you don't already know on the world map, don't explore any side zones you can't really fight the enemies of. The game blends zones of level 70+ into the area you have access to at level 15, don't waste your time, keep doing the main quest, explore later. Don't explore when you get new overworld abilities either, its also a waste of time. Just do the main quest, and once you're done, explore.
