I can't see the boss Altars through all of the projectile BS

[Soulless]

I can't even hit them xD

I'm blindly stumbling into them via the use of Sage's Leaf and Anachronistic.
I know you get the indicators of where they are when you are further than 15 meters from them, but when you get close so that they are on your screen, you cannot see them through the projectile hell. At all.

I basically had to line up with the indicator and then just move in a straight line.

The weapon that really pushed it over the edge was the Blade you get on left and right of you with all the powerups. Wind's Blade.

So this absolutely needs addressing. In F and E-rank, it was visible, yes, but in D-rank and any subsequent? Forget about it.

You need to have a pointer and a marker and the distance on, even when you get within the 15 meters, otherwise, you'll have a tough time finding it, and for no reason.

I don't even understand what I'm supposed to do. I'm just wandering around. Am I supposed to find altars? What do they look like? Where are they?!?
I'm super confused.

It's only in the boss fights at the end of the zones.

Before the patch, you just had to kill a certain number of Elites, and then the boss would appear, so you could basically stand in one place, and the stage could be over in a few seconds.

To make it a bit more challenging, there was a patch. Now, a boss fight goes like this. There's 4 altars, they look like a fountain or something (it's a circle) with a pillar in the middle, you touch it, and it starts charging up.
if you stay within the radius of the altar, it keeps charging up (you don't have to do anything else, just stand near it) if you leave the radius, you have to touch it again to start charging.
When you completely charge the altar to 100 %, you go to the next one.
And when you charge the final one, the boss would appear.

My issue was, that later in the game, when you have powerful weapons and upgrades, and there's too many projectiles, you can't really see where you're going. And in order to start charging these alters, you have to hit them.

There was a tracker that helped you find the altars when they were off the screen, but once they were in your line of sight (on screen), the tracker disappeared.
And I wanted it to change, so the tracker would always be there, and in the latest patch, it was changed, so the tracker is now always there, and it's gonna help with the later rank challenges, to actually find your way.

Yeah, I found them. I only ever play survivor mode, not the Slay the spire mode. I only played the Slay the spire mode twice so far to unlock tiers.

twice I'm at at the last stage, follow compass to get to the first altar no prob, and then just spend 10 minutes looking for and not finding any other altar... what is the point of that?
