Final boss bug? [spoilers]
I was playing as toal, fighting the final boss (darm) on nightmare. After something like 50 tries (not an understatement), he suddenly stopped doing damage to me. All his attacks simply pushed me, no damage appeared. I still could damage him though, and the game ended normally.

Just wanted to put here, as I couldn't find anything about it.

What level were you? And did this bug affect all his phases? Are you sure NO damage was displayed or was there something like 0 or 1?
I can't really help since i'm not a dev, but it may be because your level was too high for the boss (even if it's unlikely considering you were playing on Nightmare).
Oh and, did you use several Burst for his last phase? Normally that's how people beat it without getting hit more than necessary, though you can still beat him without.

I was level 50. And yes, I finished the fight at full health, evn though I'm sure I got hit. At one point I stopped trying to dodge. I didn't restart, since that would mean fighting the previous boss again.

Reminds me of something similar that once happened to me with Dalles' special when one of the vortex things catches you in the final phase. In that instance, I believe I had managed to activate Boost/Burst (I don't remember which) at a precise moment (would've had to have been just as the screen transition was taking place, because if I remember right, the start of that attack depletes the boost gauge automatically). I remember not taking any damage in that instance, but I don't remember whether or not the effect carried over to the remainder of the battle. I wonder if something similar happened to you...?

All I can say for sure is that, at level 50, you definitely should've been taking a fair amount of damage from his attacks.

I think that on that try I fell off the stage on the very beggining, and used the charged fire attack to block the damage. I don't remember if the block message appeared, but afterwards even if I fell and didn't block I wouldn't take damage. I'm sure I should, since, as I said, it was close to my 50th try.

Maybe that's the same thing that happened to you.

So it just wouldn't even display damage numbers, or just displayed zeros?

No numbers.

Falling off the side gives you temporary invincibility after you come back. It's actually very useful, because Godspeed can let you come out of it entirely unharmed, and it gives you a second to clear out minions or stall between Bursts on the last phase.

If the invincibility persisted beyond a couple seconds, then yeah that's a bug. I suspect it just missed the timer to turn it off or something.

Seems like that might have happened. Didn't affect anything else after, so I'm not really complaining, just wanted to let everyone know.
