Why is every boss fight 3 parts

[82Angelfan]

Not just this game, almost every game.

Because ... reasons. For the same reason you have often to collect 3 things on side missions or even main quests - you know, like Demeter, Aether and Poseidon or three Scarletstems.

2 are too few, 4 are too many. It's part of the so called "Ubisoft Formula".

not exactly.

3 is the triangle of rhetorical persuasion. 1, 2, 3 and the magic happens.

You're asking this in the forums for a game that does NOT use the "3-stages" formula.

Why?

To be fair, the boss fight of the DLC uses it in some way - (1) open area (kind of), (2) limited area, then a little dive and climb interlude, and (3) finale. The fight with Regalla is another example.

But you're right in general. Most boss fights in Forbidden West (Tutorial phase, Cauldrons, Asera, ...) don't have 3 stages. :-)

Yes, Advertising schools also teach this formula. Say the name or formula three times.

Three is a "magic" number in entertainment.
Car can't start? Even if brand new it won't until the 3rd time and a "C'mon!" while smacking/hitting the car.
The Law of Three is ingrained in all forms of entertainment.
