only dealing 1 damage against murcerous construct

[batmanbusters]

I'm at the murderous construct fight and all my attacks only do 1-5 damage against him, same with my skills so I can only get him down to a quarter before I die. I checked video guides and this isn't happening to anyone else, have I missed a ton of upgrades.
my stats are
axe/lotus blade STR 28
Whirlwind LV3
Bolt Crash LV3
Phoenix Flame LV2

You probably missed an ore. Check previous areas for chests and use a guide if necessary. The game is designed to punish you hard for not being fully upgraded.

Leveling up a couple times usually helps too.
There's a small level range where you're relatively evenly matched with the area.
Go too low and you'll deal almost no damage, but get tons of exp.
Go too high and you'll deal a ton of damage, but get almost no exp.

Yeah, that's basically the "stop grinding and do the boss" sign.

thank you for this post. I though my game was bugged since it was taking so long, I even watched a guide and did what they did. Man this game is great but these random "find x item to progress" things are starting to get very frustrating
