The road from final campfire to the final boss is annoying (also boss fight)
To complete all achievements I now only need to defeat the final boss on the highest difficulty, and it's really annoying.

To reach the final boss you have to pass this part (11m 55s):

When I throw my axe I hardly success to overhang, that just fails or the axe sticks to the surface but the rope is cut and I'm fallen to death. I pass this part almost once per ten tries.

Boss fight is also horrifying. What, are we fighting with hulk? After crushing three artifacts the boss needs to be stunned 5 times to see cutscenes and defeated. Isn't 3 times enough? And who thought less checkpoints will make more challenge? Die on boss fight, start from the last campfire, have to pass that crappy overhang part, and fight again with that immortal. Worst game experience I had recently :(

This boss fight is exactly why I will not try hardest difficulty (the only achievement I'm missing).

Tbh the grabing and jumping bugs makes the boss way easier than the path to him...
Also the fight is not that hard... took me 2 tries on hardest difficulty because i ducked of the ledge on first try...

Just keep your distance, dodge alot, keep the def/focus/reveal mictures up all the time. Don't even try to do it with stealth.


I agree though that sometimes i realy felt the lack of a campfire. Like in the cenote. If you fail the scripted running event you need to start over from before the door puzzle with UNSKIPABLE cutscene in the middle... Not to mention if you fail one jump when climbing out...

EDIT:// Deadly obsession is meant to be hard :P

I'll try your strategy. And yeah I also died at Cenote and had to run everything again :D

One more tip, clear the henchmen before dealing with the boss or altars.

1. clear henchmen
*
2. break the altar part
3. clear henchmen
* repeat 3 times
*
4. shoot boss and stab him
5. clear henchmen
* repeat 5 times
6. profit :V

and like i said earlier the reveal herb realy helps here if you have the show enemies skill

Took me 3 attempts on DO. Gettiing to the temple wasn't an issue, never missed that overhang jump. The distance between the last fire and the encountger wasn't too far. Defeating the god was more tricky. One thing I will agree with is that it took too many times to overcome him. 3 yeah, 4 maybe but not 5 strikes with the dagger.

Defeated the boss right after posting this :P

Still failed that overhang part several times, though.

I just want future achievements from season pass will not force me to play on hardest difficulty. (or never add achievements for season pass content, please)

Your throwing that grapple blind, and yeah it suks, i tried n died over n over, made dying look like a habit. fell off the platform twice tring to avoid him and his minons. 5 hits to a kill, yep it was a workout. but fun.

You're confusing hard for stupidly annoying :P
DO isn't hard.. hell the entire game even on harder difficulty is easier than the vast majority of games on easy in all honesty.

I'd probably go as far as to say this is the easiest TR game by a milestone.

What makes DO "hard" is how unfairly it punishes you if you die.
And its not so much a legitimate punishment as it is more a complete and total waste of your damn time forcing you to reply usually buggy segments of the game which are often the reason you died in the first place but worst of all is forcing you to sit through the same damn cutscenes over and over and over again..

It's gotten to the point for me that once I beat DO which will probably be very soon (Edit yep done), I'm never going to want to play this game again..
Not because I didn't enjoy it.. I enjoyed it a lot on my first playthough which was literally days ago..
But having to sit through the same cutscenes over and over due to deaths that were mostly caused by bugs, has made those cutscens severely annoying and i'm so sick of seeing them at this point it's going to significantly effect my interest in playing through the game again in future.

And I severely doubt i'm alone here when I say that..

Only a small percentage of the cut scenes cannot be cut.
I skipped through those that could.

yes that difficulty is just cheap not hard but cheap and time consuming.

There were many times I was annoyed to the point of wanting to throw the controller at the TV. The cenote escape fight is f'ing annoying and the last boss fight is just plain cancer. No skills needed just frustrating and annoying. The game otherwise is great besides the unbelievably long story cut scenes.
Thumper Apr 12, 2020 @ 2:28am 
Yes some of the platforming can be difficult to say the least. But doable. The Cenote escape is only hard if your not watching where your going, you don't have to run like a madman, just focus on the next contact point and your in the water and on your way to the climbing boots.

The final boss fight requires his minons are not in your way, so kill them 1st. Most cut scene's you can skip the small talk and move on, only a few require you sit and just listen.
