{Spoilers} Final Boss Broken on Nightmare difficulty

[KELLERaug]

This is a pretty obvious title, but once you beat the game and replay on nightmare difficulty, everything is smooth sailing... until you get back to the final boss fight with Nemesis. Nemesis has an attack where he hits you with his giant tree-trunk arms, and knocks you down, however because of the damage increase on this difficulty, Nemesis knocks you down, then hits you again before you can get back up OR check your inventory. It is almost impossible to avoid this attack every time, as it follows you somewhat, and Nemesis is the size of a small house at this point. I cannot imagine this was play tested, nor can I remotely imagine it was intentional. Now, maybe youre thinking "Get the defense coin dummy!" and that would be a good idea, except I had already spent my points from completing the game the first time on the samurai edge and on Jills alternate costume. So now I am stuck on the final ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ boss of the game after a REALLY smooth nighmare run, and I cant finish the game because either this section was not tested, or the fight was designed by a moron, So, I can either cheat, start another SEPARATE new game over to try and get some points, OR i can just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stop playing. Sorry for the complaining, this is just a really frustrating oversight considering all of the games replayability is tied to these higher difficulties.

I finally just decided to say screw it and give myself enough points to get the defense coin. I hate cheating, but it was either that, or infinite health, and I figured this is what would retain the integrity of the game more than infinite health for this one boss. I am just so annoyed that in a 60 dollar Triple A game, there can be something THIS blatantly broken. Not bugged. Not glitched. Just broken. Poorly designed and broken.

No, I just bought the one, I was only 1200 points away from it, so, I was trying to justify it to myself. It's one of those things where it Rob's me of the satisfaction of beating tht game on this difficulty. And worse still, it's the last boss, so this is the last experience in having. A boss I had to cheat to complete. I understand the git gud perspective but NONE of the rest of the game was like this on this difficulty, so I can't see it as anything other than an oversight, and not an intentional thing.

How would you go about giving yourself the points?

What? Why would you do that? You can evade all of his attacks.

Just dash through every hit until he stops the combo, destroy one pustule, rinse and repeat. Sure it takes a while but what the hell did you expect from Nightmare?

You can't really make a mistake in the battle at all, it really is very broken since the rest of the game isn't very difficult in Nightmare. I found it utterly frustrating to finish it, but you just need to dodge every single attack and use the roll to take out the weak spots with the Mag, you can finish it pretty quickly if you get it right. Not worth the effort though xD

None of the rest of the game is like that on nightmare. It is not a reasonable expectation that you dodge EVERY attack in the entire fight against an enemy the size a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ duplex. I have 8 aid sprays, 12 rounds of every grenade type, 135 handgun rounds, 12 magnum rounds, 28 shotgun shells, 4 flashbangs, and 3 hand grenades, and I'm on the last boss. I have played the entire game competently and efficiently. This is not in line with the rest of the game. This is an oversight.

That might take a while but if you genuinely want it I could try.

Btw, didact, I didn't do challenges, I used a hex editor. I wasn't about to punish myself and load old saves just to grind out enemies.
