No more Cthulhu after final Chapter?

[Mainasch]

I have beaten Cthulhu twice in total until I triggered the final story chapter. Afterwards I had two runs where I only had to fight one of the generic bosses at the end of act 3.

I understand that it might make sense from a story perspective but I this is a bit disappointing.

For once, without Cthulhu as the final boss the game is way too easy, especially with a fully upgraded training center. But also the missing super sphere and the 5000 fear make the meta progression much more tedious.

By the time you kill Cthulhu for the first time you should already be 24-ish fear lvl and this unlocks 100% content. Yellow sphere is needed only once (i think) to get +1 energy upgrade, so technically you don't need second sphere.

But i would says boss of chapter 3 should stay randomised like it is right now AND there should be chapter 4 with Cthulhu alone (maybe with extra random '?' event). After killing him / clearing story, if he is removed it would be logical to fight Mercheant instead xD

In the same situation as OP. Just beat Cthulhu (took me 3 tries: 500, 500 and 1000 damage - and last try without breaking a sweat). I agree that Cthulhu was a bit easier than expected especially after you understand the fight you can build around SAN loss.
I'll bump his HP to 3k at least!
As for upgrades, (At least) Psychiatry level 5 also requires a Super Sphere.
I'm missing sooo many buildings upgrades and normal spheres, (at least 7!) finishing the campaign sound like a terrible grind with no challenge ahead.
Also missing around half the clues for the personal character stories.
Monolyth at Lv 24.
I'll happily play more the campaign to 100% it if there was some challenge ahead.
I had a blast and will leave our dear dev cook more updates :)

+1 for Act IV bonus battle and sphere, if you beat Cthulhu than for goodness sake speed up getting the monolith to 50 afterwards, the story has been done and you are asking me to mindlessly grind now...

Was kinda hoping to actually beat Ctulhu in one go at some point.

Same here, I've beaten Cthulhu the one time in story mode, and then he never appeared ever again. Really a bummer as he is the perfect test subject for all the broken deck builds at the end.
