I genuinely hate the Ozma fight.
It's just tedious. The dude has 3 phases, and each one takes a while with him just flying away and making you chase him. Then you catch him and the camera gets ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up against an invisible wall or he flies straight up above you so you can only see his toes. The worst is the first phase. I hate the way human bosses behave with stamina in this game. The amount of times I'll brink guard into a damaging combo and watch their stamina start rising from like 2% instead of breaking WHILE I'm hitting them--mind you this was preceded by a brink guard, meaning no time was given to them--is infuriating.

Add to that him constantly throwing down AoEs that last for minutes and he seems to always want to stand in them so you risk getting hit with chaos even when he's not directly attacking you, and he spends so much time in the air that if you try to stay close you're always looking up while the ground is covered with lingering AoEs.

For me Ozma is all the worst parts of the game thrown into one and then also extended because he has 3 phases. Reese was such a fun fight. I wish they had ended it there.

Edit: Oh and I forgot, he's also immune to all status effect build ups. So not only does he have the most phases of any fight, he's also maybe the only one that you can't try to speed things up with some fire/poison/earth stuff. They really want you to just have to fight this dude for 10 minutes. If you die at minute 8, oh well, start over. It's so tedious.

the more i played, the more i began to see the enormous cracks in this game's design, i cant even dash through ledges?? besides ozma, the levels suck and the game capitalizes on ganking and "gotcha" moments similarly to lords of the fallen... the bosses so far have been great tho, shame they are separated by levels.

i really enjoyed hismar and reese, but i could get through them with brute forcing, with ozma its a battle of attrition, and its where you need to go all out, but i just dont have the tools to go all out.

You most certainly do have the tools to go all out. You just don't know how to use them.

Finally beat the game. And IDK man, Ozma fight feels great to me. The three phase doesnt really matter because his first and second phase is kinda pushover, For some reason his delayed attack feels so easy to read. IDK if its because me getting good or not, last 3 boss (Hismar, Reese, Ozma) feels kinda easy. Legit beat Hismar and Reese on first try. Ozma doesnt take much time either, I have harder time fighting Viper or that boss with Dual Greatsword and Katana.

Have just 100% both Khazan and Nioh, wouldn't say Khazan is a cheap temu version, it's definitely inspired more from Nioh than other souls/likes, but I liked Khazan a lot and it does somethings better than Nioh.

It's a LOT harder than Nioh though imo, which is why people probably saying it's a budget version.

I also think Khazan has WAY better boss fights and boss designs than Nioh, majority of Nioh boss fights are just humans, which mostly all play the same and if you have a good build, will be over within seconds, I 1shotted pretty much every boss in Nioh, without even seeing their combos or caring much about them, the only difficulty came in the stupid missions where they would make you fight multiple bosses and NPCs all at the same time, where you're getting ganked by 3 melee chars with unlimited poise, stunning you whilst getting shot by 5 canons and archers also stunning you, very much like DS2 which I hated for the same reason. Khazan I had to learn the bosses and change how I played, they also mostly had cool designs not all being the same.

Agree. Cool boss. Absolutely terrible design.

Learn to parry his melee attacks and you'll often pin him down, but I agree it's a bit annoying to chase some flying purple monkey throwing ♥♥♥♥ at us.

He doesn't fly off that frequently and any time he flies off he's quite punishable.

It may looks bit difficult, but it is in fact the easiest fight in this game, even he has 3 phases and high damage AOE and has all elemental resistance.
I just make the key points as simple as i can, read following 3 points carefully:
1. when you get 1000 resistance, you are completely immune to this elemental damage and negative state
2. it's 100% sure and easily to get 1000 chaos resistance before the final battle
3. for phase 2 and 3, you can ignore the part of chaos elemental damage and negative state for attacks which are mixed by physical and chaos damage, and also immune to all pure chaos attacks, especially for most OP and massive AOEs

As a warrior, you are facing a "physical" chaos witcher, who can only deal physical damage to you instead of most powerful chaos elemental damage
It is the only battle in first run, before which you can get fully immune to all of elemental attacks and AOEs from Boss.
you only need to focus on the first phase.

But then again, there is no precise guide of elemental resistance in this game.
So, if you know such things, it's a easy battle, if not, it turns into a challenge.
necklace and ring give total 300 resistance, consumable gives 300 for 120 seconds
99 VIT gives 248 for all resistances
you only need to get 152 chaos resistance from one set, or 452 from mixed set, if you don't want to put a time limit to fully immune by using consumable.
