Hi there,
I’m a boss challenged individual. On souls games, and similar, I can take many, many, MANY attempts (an embarrassing number of attempts). I know this, and I’m ok with it, I’ve come to expect.
The issue with this is how the fight is structured, it’s just so demoralizing. I am max level now, there really are no rewards in the 5th room for me. The chests have little or no value, and there is nothing for me to spend seeds on. The merchant has nothing of interest to sell outside of the one item.
That’s fine, I get it’s a journey to the top and, hopefully, that’s where the rewards lie. The problem is, I can get through all the rooms without too much issue now - but my pitiful, and often brief attempt at the most usually ends abruptly. I did watch a guide online and was gutted to see there’s a full health phase 2 portion (I hate when you think you’re done and you’re not!).
So I fail… and have failed more than 10 times now I’m sure. I’m ok with all of that, I’ll just keep plugging away until I get it. The problem is… I have to go back through all 9 of those unrewarding rooms again. If I mess up… start again.
It’s just soul-crushingly tedious now and, frankly, no reward is worth this. I think once you make it to the final room, you get as many attempts as you want until you move on to something else (i.e. give up). Then, when you want to make your attempt again, work through the rooms.
Bonus points if the first 9 rooms reward something of value so you don’t feel as though you wasted your time. Thanks!
