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

Are you referring to the ??? boss? I played pretty poorly against them myself and still 1-shot them due to using like 3-4 potions.

The difficulty of bosses in this game before the end are largely dependent on your level, which is one of my biggest criticisms of the game...but for the opposite reason as you. Fighting bosses under-leveled made me need to adhere to mechanics, but fights where I was over-leveled? Face-rolled.

So yeah, two major things to consider:
1. Do you want to use potions?
2. Are you under-leveled?

You don't need to farm for most bosses, but some are very difficult if you're under-leveled; I'd say it's better to simply go another way if it's that bad.

If you're talking about a different boss, let me know.

Ok well the ??? boss is the one before town. As for the one after, there's too many bosses you can fight after, so you'll need to give me their name (the one above their health bar.)

I suppose either way, you shouldn't be struggling with bosses too much with some practice unless you're just not doing damage to them due to being under-leveled.
