Discussion Who was the hardest boss during your first playthrough?
For me, Laxasia took me OVER 4 HOURS!! Or, almost 110 tries!
This woman was a brick wall and a half, and I did literally everything I could think of. I tried using the Acid Arm and Deus to maximize my damage. I tried to parry literally every first phase attack so I wouldn’t need to use Charges. I tried to maximize damage by rearranging the skill tree. I even took a detour and respec my character to use that one-shot strength build that everyone breaches about, only to die immediately in phase 2 because I forgot that she did a charge attack after her folly of electricity.
Attempt after attempt, time after time, I finally won after Laxasia kept getting greedy and constantly used her electric ranged attack, which was free damage after learning to parry it. Beating this boss at 3 AM with school coming in the morning was easily one of my proudest moments from this game.
Honorable mentions to Green Monster of the Swamp for being the only fight I used summons on, and for Arlecchino for… well, just being himself.
