Title: Did anyone else find the LoS bosses to have inconsistant difficulty?
Post by: Lumi Kløvstad on July 28, 2012, 08:33:57 AM

I've played against Carmilla (finally), and I found that she went down a lot faster and easier than Cornell and Olrox did. Also Malphas took a while; but in hindsight, that probably took longer because I had just come back from a week of Skyrim playing and had to remember everything.

Cornell bludgeoned my HP into the red zone a couple of times with his hammer (the wolf form was a cakewalk by comparison), and even Olrox managed to put a little pressure on me here and there, but at no point against Carmilla did I in any way feel threatened. I really hope the game's remaining bosses are not as inconsistent in terms of difficulty, because that will be annoying if it happens.

In terms of boss difficulty, what do I have to look forward to? Is it more logically progressive, or still weird?

I didn't really find the bosses difficult to begin with, so I can't really comment on what difficulty to look forward to, but...

For the Dragolich, be VERY patient. Rushing things will get you very frustrated also.

Against the Silver Knight, the fight can be very intense because of the constant need to switch magic.

Likewise, with the final boss, the need to switch magic remains. However, at a couple of points, you have to walk through circles in the ground with a certain type of magic, and this part is just annoying.

Other than that, though, yeah.

All the Carmilla bossfights in the series have the tendency to be easy though...

What's so hard about quick time events?

Getting to them after a 20 minute boss fight  ;)

Are you going to sit there and tell me that the first boss fight is more than just one giant quick time event?

The Great Warg in the village? Yeah, it is more than just one giant QTE.
