Well that final boss fight is anything but fun

[Vahnkiljoy]

Struggled to beat it only to of course discover that there is a phase 2 of course I died because no potions as the first phase will eat them up no matter since you can't block everything!
Meanwhile it does tons of damage, spams attacks and with how the lock on camera acts dodging some attacks is just outright stupid. Don't even get me started on phase 2, Spells don't do anything to it and the gun sure as hell does nothing for the pitiful shot count we get for it.

Gotta say I've never had a game go from insanely enjoyable to outright hate from a single damn boss.

I hate to say it but I agree. I enjoyed every single minute of this game but the lass boss has me perplexed. If anyone has tips, it'd be much appreciated.

By that point the game was so hard during bosses I had enabled 'no fail' accessibility mode, but interestingly left the stamina restriction on. Though after reading a translated copy of the game manual, I had been scared off of spending any of the coins so had one card slot I wasn't really paying attention to.

I feel it's really a parry boss. Quick-tap Shield action to parry. I found many sword attacks and the "gun shots" can be parried but it's finding the timing and for me actually getting the parry move - it's a quick RT press&release but if held too long it becomes shield up and so on release shield down...

I'm still playing on the pre-31st March patch and think I read they adjusted (or maybe planned to adjust??) something related to parrying - the timing or period it's active or something...

If you use the card that makes your sword do fire damage you should take that off.
It negatively effects your damage. I went through the same thing:

I found that using the ‘slow down’ item was a key help here. I’d fight he first phase of the boss as much as I could with just my sword and HP potions. But once they were out and the boss is moving fast and in the second phase, I’d do the rest of the battle in slow motion using all my MP.

I did what I normally do in every game hat has them, and spent the game with most consumables in the ‘too good to use’ pile, so had 20 magic restore items too, so when I was getting really close to the final hits but needed more time, I started to use those, that second phase does go quickly too.

Of course, this is assuming you’ve done the ‘prep’ work and not rushed to the fight,

A lot of this fight is just being patient.
I personally used the Orange Trinket and kept my health around half-quarter to ensure I could pump out damage without getting one shot.

Getting hit isn't meant to be the end of the world, but losing your cool definitely is.

If you don't care about spoilers for those boss battles, go watch speed runs of the game. Sure, speed runs look way easier than they actually are to execute correctly, but every boss in this game can be cheesed.

[Leynx & Fenrir]

Like all bosses, the Heir has to be cheesed.
I am not sure it was designed that way by the game designer but I noticed that if one can win the boss battle while playing as suggested (e.g. parry, block, roll, slash, etc.), it is possible to just go full frontal: the closer the better.

Plus I found (I might be stupid though) bosses have more stable patterns when the player is in close range.

But, I was wondering if one can avoid the fight withe Heir and save him directly if they have completed the Mountain Door quest before the final fight[spoiler/]?

[Striped]

After I beat the game, I was surprised to hear a lot of people struggled with defeating the Heir. It's absolutely the most challenging boss in the game, make no mistake, and has two brutal phases to boot. Though... with patience, reading attacks, and dodging, it's still very doable? A lot of the game's other bosses are also quite challenging, albeit less two-phase-horror. However, I completely understand it could be quite the difficulty spike for those less experienced with this kind of boss design. That all said, the ease of it for me could've been in part due to the ability cards I was running by the end of the game?

Orange Peril Ring + Cyan Peril Ring is absolutely busted. I'm honestly kind of baffled how powerful the buffs they provide are. Go into the fight as normal, popping potions to heal when needed, but when you run out of heals, it's go time. Reaching the low health threshold, your attack and defense explodes, letting you deal incredible damage and can even tank what feels like several extra hits. Even when it seems dire, it's still VERY possible to squeeze out a win with these buffs active, and it feels great when you do. Best of luck to those still attempting this boss!

♥♥♥♥, i think I skipped last boss XD

[Steven]

Everything since entering the burying grounds has been absolute hell.

[Pellinor Geist]

I used the fireball shooting staff, a stack of 20 blueberries, and a sword. Dodged a lot, and shoot two or 3 times after you finish your dodge. Sneak in a few sword smacks when you have a window, take it slow, and shoot through both phases. That got me through on my 1st playthrough.

[Fomalhaut]

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, you people suck. I know people are bad at games today, but "Has to be cheesed"?
"Absolute hell?" Seriously, what?

Heir should take maybe 2 tries max.

Are you people just bulldozing the game and not even taking time to explore? The halo trivializes every engagement the moment you get it and if you have any attack and defense ups, this game becomes Kirby. None of these bosses are hard. When you see a wind up, put your shield up or use the busted ass dash.

Zip behind her, triple slash into gun. Repeat. She has like 2 extremely obvious and slow attacks. Jesus Christ.

[Azrapse]

Not sure if I should spoiler-mark this, but I defeated her, only for the game to very obviously tell me that defeating this boss not only is not recommended, but also, should be avoided.

So, no matter how hard The Heir is, you are not supposed to fight her at all, right?

PS: I used the above recommendation of two rings (attack and defense when low on health), plus the scavenger mask, plus the halo.
It felt very hard in my first tries. But after equipping these, I managed to down her in two tries.

[OrtonSocket]

I defeated her without any cheese. I had all the upgrades but I didn't really understand what all the cards did not did I know about the parry. Just dodge and strike to victory.
