frick that boss. I'm over here. Had her down to one or two more hits and of course I'm out of stamina, so she goes jumps all the way across the map and goes back into her phase where she hurls endless projectiles at you.

Finally got Trokka. Died so many times and to her. Got so damn close about twenty times only to get killed with her having one of two hits left, but finally did it. I hate the bosses on the damn game so much.

These bosses just get dumber and more ridiculous the further you go. Makes the game not even fun. Literally every boss I a straight HP sponge. I'm at the Skrapel boss now and one phase wouldve been fair, but no let's make it two phases and the second phase he's on crack the whole time. fricking unreal.

I have kind of hit a mental wall with the game. I absolutely love the combat. However the level design just feels copy and paste. The side quest especially.

I beat Maluca in fewer tries than I thought I would based on the hype. At this point I am 23 hours in, many folks are saying their play through are taking 60-80 hours and I’m not sure I want to spend another few days grinding through these levels.

I have quite enjoyed the boss fights but It feels like the game is a bit repetitive and has too much fluff.

I've hit a wall myself, but Im pretty much the opposite. I've really enjoyed all the levels outside of the boss fights. There have only been a handful that I've found enjoyable. Nothing pisses me off in boss fight more than having to kill them twice and you have to do that multiple times in this game. Im sure I could eventually beat this game, but I'm getting worn out trying to beat a boss for days in a row. Maluca and Trokka just wore me out.

im on maluca and i just don't have time to keep learning all the movesets of each boss especially the ones on crack like this guy. might have to drop the difficulty to easy for bosses. never needed to do that in all my souls like game playthroughs.

I've gotten sidetracked by some other games recently (namely XCom 2), and reading through the recent posts does not get me excited to jump back into Khazan

Once I watched Fextras YouTube video on Maluca I cleared him within the hour.

Yup. That's why I haven't done that. I did that on the demo and had to go back and beat it again. Trust me, they only get harder after me Maluca. Trokka is a nightmare and the boss I'm at now is worse than her.

Finally beat this Skalpel boss last night. Just read there is an update coming that will let you switch back and forth from easy to normal as you wish. Should be dropping soon.

How much easier was Maluca on Easy? Big difference?

After I switched it to easy I beat him within 15 minutes. He was still a challenge but his hits don't take so much health. Still need to avoid/parry. I didn't realize you couldn't switch back to normal. I am enjoying the game more on easy now so all good. I was worried it would be too easy but that is not the case. I am over leveled currently from so many attempts on the bosses. It is starting to balance out now that my level is getting closer to the levels I am in.

I am not a novice either.
Beat all the souls games solo.
Bloodborne and all the DLC solo.
Lies of P
Blackmyth Wukong

I think this game on easy is closer to the default difficulty in those games.

You weren't kidding about scratching the Nioh itch
This game has been fantastic so far. The combat feels really good, and it feels like a proper skill check in that you have some wildly powerful stuff to abuse, but you have to be good with it.

Took out Maluca. That fight was incredible imo, and the fact that we're still unlocking new mechanics has me excited for the future. Flash Cutter in dual wield has been an excellent pickup as an additional strong defensive tool.

Huge update released today. Fixed all the achievements. “Standing Alone” no longer carries over to NG+. Can swap back and forth between easy and normal.

Plus tons of other things.

I like the long list of QoL improvements they made.

Last major boss I fought was Bellerian, so on towards the gate mission next. I intend to start experimenting more with reflection at some point, and I'm glad my time using yokai shift in Nioh 2 is helping out with phantom form usage
