New Game Plus Scaling for Enemies

[Ynnub]

Do the enemies and bosses in New Game Plus scale high enough in HP so they don’t get one-shot if I’m dealing 20–30 million damage per turn with some characters? I’m at the point where I can one-shot most enemies with basic abilities. I don’t want to intentionally handicap myself, I enjoy seeing the big numbers. Or are mods recommended to increase the HP scaling for end-game?

They scale on the assumption you finished the story and went into NG+, unfortunately.

If you did all the side content, you'll be steamrolling everything. I'm just about to enter the Monolith after doing the 2 Axons and that's still the case, even the bosses almost never get a turn.

Modding might be the best bet, though I'm never keen on the idea cos it's hard to know at what point you're just making things difficult for yourself.
Alternatively, you could just speedrun through. I don't know what it's like in subsequent NG+ runs and how long it takes to scale up though. I've been taking my time with it to get all the upgraded pictos/weapons. It looks like everything in act 3 onwards will be level 33.
