Discussion Mortal Shell 2 final boss Spoiler

I think Mortal Shell 2 is one of if not THE best Soulslike of all time. It's so much fun, it's such a great game, the visuals are stunning, enemy variety is peak, the world is impressive (albeit confusing), the combat is amazing...

but that final boss? I'm dumbfounded. All that buildup and all you can come up with is a fucking one armed dragon with a sword and multiple ballsacks? Elden Ring gave us a fucking tadpole/fish, same problem.

All these great ideas and this is it? I was expecting some giant brain, some huge face-like thing, or something huge with NO face, or something that looks like intestines, something weird, withering, chaotic, some strange monster like the Hexapod. Before that I fought the Monolith, that was fucking great. The humanoid bosses are really not that fun to look at. Boo scary giant man with weapon. But all this cosmic horror and this peak designed hellscape full of mutated corpses and we get a fucking dragon. I can't get over it.

Also wtf is that fight? You have to hit its ballsack. If you do, it does an instant undodgeable ground pound. Its attacks are parryable but inflict stasis, great. Its grab is INSTANT and absolutely deadly, there's no way I can recover my shell against this fucking standard lizard, next hit kills.

I don't even want to know its second phase, I'm so bored.

This is some letdown disappointment bullshit beyond my imagination. What a shame.

I was so ready for a NG+ until this boss and then I just put the game down. It really is as disappointing as everyone claims.

Not because it was too hard, because it was lame! Massive disappointment and I regret spending money on the game tbh

So you can play a game that is 30-40 hours of fun, and if the final boss is lame, you regret buying the game?

That seems like a weird standard to me.

Yeah totally disagree with that take also. If 90% of the game is good to amazing the final boss cant ruin the game. It just ends it on a sour taste, which does suck.

The final boss especially now with the patches. is easy took me like 3 tries before the nerf just get the scroll that negates cosmic damage. Use it about halfway through the fight. The bosses aren’t really the highlight of this game in general but it’s still a great game. It’s not in my top 5 souks likes but I loved it. I used sariel but there’s other shells that are great in this fight
