Terrible boss fights?

[Ahriman]

So I just got done killing this lord of the thieves boss and it was awful to say the least, it wasn't difficult, just very cheap and annoying
Am I doing something wrong or are fights with large bosses just really bad in this game?

[justAEA]

Yep, they are ♥♥♥♥.

Just wait until you get to Femto.

Yeah, he's lame due to the fact more often than not he will just pin you in a corner and juggle you with his repeated hits. Camera doesn't help either so you can't see squat. Luckily it gets easier with him as your stats/accessories improve. You can just power swing him down even from that position. That mission in particular is what I am farming now since its relatively short and the boss fight is only hard the first time you face him.

I honestly can't say I like the direction the boss fights in this game is done. It feels like they were trying too hard to emulate grand boss fights in certain action games, like those of Dragon Dogma, Toukiden and Dark Souls to make stand apart from other Musou games.

Feels extremely cheap and half-baked not to mention the way the hit boxes and how enemy react to getting hit is practically weak to nonexistent. They should have just stick closer to the Musou formula.

This boss is after Femto.

pretty sure he means the endless eclipse version

you can block most boss attacks, don't even attempt to dodge, it's worthless. just accept you'll get stunlocked a bunch and spam frenzy and you're golden.

story mode femto is easier than lord of thieves, he meant eclipse femto

I keep hearing this but I just don't get it. Are you guys playing this on berserk mode or something? I've leveled every boss thus far by mashing xy combo and blocking occasionally, and I'm playing on hard at the tail end of HotM arc. Femto was really easy because he spawns minidemons in the room you can just farm for easy devil trigger gauge filler, then pop a super move on him for huge damage. You never even really have to get close to him.

How are you even supposed to fight EE Femto? He's so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ spammy with those stupid gravity bubble things. So far I've been cheesing him by running around on Skelly's horse until I get full frenzy and then it's a 50/50 shot whether his bubbles stunlock me for the entire duration or I actully get to do some damage.

I couldn't even remain interested long enough to get to the boss fights.
Just too mindless and easy in general unless I put it on the insanely difficult Berserk mode.

only way tbh. just stack max dazzle and enjoy using zodd and wyald transformed modes since they can stunlock femto in a corner with their charge attacks.

eclipse mode. all story mission bosses are ez even on berserk (wyald is an exception without full stacks of healing items)

I thought I was the only one who knew these bosses were ♥♥♥♥. I even made a rage post of how these fights made me see red. Personally, I'd rather have QTE Bosses than these pieces of ♥♥♥♥
