Judas battle checkpoint is an annoying time waster

[CyberMageIL]

I JUST started my assault on Judas and he's kicking my♥♥♥♥♥XD
That not a problem.... the problem is with the checkpoint before the fight.
It's 3 rooms away from the boss :/ .... 3 rooms that has nothing but some (albeit sweet) narration and the final room even has a question to answer AFTER the narration is finished.
In a battle with the final boss this is SUCH an annoying time waster when you just want to get back into the action and try to take him down.

Couldn't the checkpoint have been in the final room?... or even in the boss room, just before going up the stairs/ramp to activate the boss sequence?

Eh, not sure if you're ever gonna come back to this but Judas is quite easy to cheese using the air spinning-attack thing (spam light attack in the air)
Just stay near the middle of the boss area and you'll only be hit by a few lasers. Use the charge attack when you can (after a Perception dodge or finishing move thing) and you'll probably beat it on your first or second try

XD You really pulled this topic out of mothballs... it's been 4 years, I already finished the game probably within a day from posting that topic.

Anyway, thanks for the tip, but the point of the topic wasn't about that the boss is too hard but rather about the pre-boss checkpoint location being too far away from the boss and being just a pointless time-waster because of the unskippable narration in the rooms between the checkpoint and the boss... the game might have already been changed to remedy this though, it's been 4 years :P

1) Oh god I didn't check the date! I'm a monster!
Jokes aside though, I usually try to avoid reviving threads. Oops!
2) I totally agree with the checkpoint being annoying. Should at least be moved to the Are You Ready room imo
