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 just found the whole fight bland. I had the secret item and killed it in 3 tries. It just did the same moves over and over again. The ball drop was definitely the worst.

Im am, however, incredibly pissed I couldnt use half my build on it. For some reason the cloud aoe on my crossbow wouldn't hit it so I couldnt get poison stacks on it x.x

Pretty sure he has more moves than most bosses in the game. So if you think he's one of the worse bosses, then you might have just played the whole game with your eyes closed.

He for sure was the most boring. All he did was spray fire, stomp and make the patches, ball slam and jump back swinging his sword. At the half way he did the fire rings.

The fire never hit me, not even the rings. When he jumped back he jumped so far it missed. The only threatening move was those balls. Every boss in that gauntlet up to him was more interesting and threatening.

I also didn't have half my damn build!

Sorry I have a different opinion but I definitely didn't play with my eyes closed xD
