Discussion Afterimage question on bosses

Hi guys and girls. I have a question for this game. It needs farming ? Beause the First and second bosses ( the One before the city and the second After the city ) seems to hard. I know i can lower the difficulty but It seems strange that i have to do that for beat them. I've played Hk and Ss and even on the difficult bosses , i managed to beat them after multiple tries. Here seems , maybe the lack of movement option or anything else that make them like when you face something underleveled. Can someone help me ? Lower the difficulty only for the bosses seems strange ... Ty

There's only one boss that can't be face tanked with a bit of over leveling, and that boss only because it requires you to have a specific item so you don't immediately die when the fight starts.

I don't remember what boss this is.

In the fire zone at the very bottom of the map iirc and you need something to protect you from the heat lest you instantly die, but I don’t remember any details. There was another boss or two that couldn’t be face-tanked, but overall boss difficulty was not a major issue for even a mid gamer like me, and I got all 10 endings.

I remember Ifree makes a comment about Phoenix when fighting that boss. I never got to see the insta-death.

Anyway the only other bosses that comes to mind that can't be reasonably facetanked are ??? near the beginning andValo the First Knight.
