Third level boss makes me cry

Dont say that I nearly smashed a pad getting past the 2nd stage one.

to quote bachman turner overdrive... you aint seen nothing yet.

Level 3 boss is apparently not hard on Acolyte but I can tell you from experience that on Warrior it's just about the cheapest boss fight EVAR.

He's actually not too bad, as long as you can accept taking a few hits. What you need to do is simply stay at a big distance and shoot lvl 2 charged arrows at his face. When he comes your way dash-jump to the other side of the room. Shouldn't take more than 6 or 7 full hits. To counter his cheap attacks simply use ninpo.

Not a fun fight though .

Just finished this on Warrior, and I felt the game got a little weaker in the second half. Some of the bosses near the end were just plain annoying. Overall, though, the game is a blast and Mentor difficulty is really quite hard. I'm terrified of what Master Ninja mode throws up.

[MyDogSkip]

gah, this boss is going to make me EAT my cigarettes! I cant even get back to him now. *grumble*stupidmetalfishthingwithitsstupidlittlemi nions*grumble*

[MyDogSkip]

YES YES YES!! Cry me a river you massive fishy ba£$%^d!!

This game would be so much better without the bosses. I just played through the HAMAZE and GORGEOUS Venice stage, having much fun splatting wolf-men's heads with my Lunar Staff. Lovely. Then, I got to the third Trial of Valour. Arena combat awesomeness GET!!1

Then I ended up facing yet another ridiculous boss.

It seems every time I'm warmed up and just getting back into that sweet spot with this game it throws something smelly and horrid at me and I stop playing. Then I go back and die time after time until I get back into it, but by then I'm sick of the cheap projectile attacks / divebombing dragons / cheap bosses. I'm even contemplating playing it on Acolyte just so I don't have to grit my teeth on and force myself through yet another ridiculous boss battle.

Playing it casually, it's very much fun. Up to the Level 7 Boss', but failed at the very end by a smidge.

Can I just declare this now,

The Tonfa's are Win.
The Kusarigama is made of nothing but cupcakes and failure.

That will be all o,o

Level nine now. I have to concede that level eights

->Open Spoiler<-

rocket launchers were cheap cheating feckers. Having said that the trial of valor for that level wasn't as hard as it could have been and the boss of level eight is an absolute push over.

[Mephistopheles]

I quite liked level 8. Didn't think think it was cheap at all. You can almost always take cover when you're being bombarded with projectiles. Not to mention that there's

->Open Spoiler<-

explosive barrels next to most of the enemies who spam rockets. Just shoot the barrel and they're dead.

However, I just did level 9 and thought most of it was absolutely awful. This level was indeed cheap and just annoying. It's been the only low point of the game so far for me. Hopefully there aren't anymore because the game is truly fantastic otherwise. Although the graphics of level 9 are some of the best yet, and the area in which the boss fight takes place looks absolutely stunning.

[Sane]

Anyone else having trouble with achievements unlocking? I didn't get 2 so far, the one for

beating chapter 6 and the one for wasting the fire armadillo

The worst part about level 9 is when you fall into the green tunnel that looks like it's been textured with stuff leftover from the PS1-era. While that area is great for farming up a ton of essence it's as dull as dishwater to play through.

This game is not very nice. I did the Chapter 6 mini-boss and after that you have to go through a long tunnel of monsters. If it wasn't for the lunar staff my ass would have been toast!
