[SPOILERS] Hardest boss?
A lot of people seem to be having trouble defeating the final boss...

I just beat the game on Hardcore (level 45) and honestly he was hardly a challenge, I stockpiled revival stones and didn't need to use one :/

If I had to order the bosses by difficulty, from hardest to easiest:

-Lady Tethys (the only one that was difficult at all, though I admit she was really difficult)
-Fuse
-Lord Kane
-General Gaius

Eh, none of them are difficult unless I'm intentionally underpowered.

Fuse is arguably one of the harder ones, mainly because his "pillars of fire" attack is fast, covers the screen, and can catch me off-guard. If it wasn't for that attack, he'd be very easy even when underpowered.

Lady Tethys is super easy, highly susceptible to air throws. I parry her for fun.

Kane is the easiest of the four bosses in my opinion. Even if you're underpowered, you can just use the aerial Dust Storm repeatedly from one side to the other, and he'll never hit you. The exploding zombies are more of a threat than Kane (just dodge out of the way).

Equipment is a huge factor in how easy Gaius is. With endgame gear like Pendant of Wisdom (double Defense), Battle Master's Pendant (double Attack), Foul Ring of Devastation (triple Fidget), and Wedding Ring (great all-around stats) along with a high-enough level, Gaius is a cakewalk even on Hardcore.

General Gaius was kind of a dissappointment though. Sure none of the bosses were hard, but his melee AI didn't seem even up to the scale of the demons from the Sorrowing meadow. It might be just because Dust becomes ultra overpowered for the last half of the game, but it would have been nice to end on some sort of challange to compliment the great story ending.

He was definitely more of a challenge than the demons. They would have been easy to kill without levelling up at all (just slow due to lack of damage dealt).
