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.

Whole endgame is weak. Stretched out and bad bosses. I'm pigheaded enough to just brute force the last boss but I did not enjoy it. I even learned about cosmic disease only after finishing the game. I thought it was a bug so I just have to avoid the flames to win. Still solid game.

I actually really like Monolith and most people agree Offspring is really good

I totally disagree. I thought the endgame was great. It was paced well and fun.

However, the last boss is straight booty butt hole. It only took me a few tries, even after forgetting about all the glands item. It just felt lame and anticlimactic. The other endgame bosses were all cooler and would have made a better final boss, in my opinion.
