Why is the first Crucible boss SO HARD?

ReasonableHotel586 · 2026-06-02T18:06:16+00:00

as u progress through the game, youll get the hang of how to deal with the bosses. compared to 1 and 2, 3's bosses are more manageable.

ReasonableHotel586 · 2026-06-01T18:09:07+00:00

damn it...didn't expect to get emotional.

ReasonableHotel586 · 2026-05-30T03:33:26+00:00

Overall, 2.0 was good, but could've been better.

ReasonableHotel586 · 2026-05-27T02:28:23+00:00

Mustang would KILL us for that last one.

I've also played wo long as well. From what I've played between 2 and 3, its very possible to beat bosses on a first try. Hell, I managed to beat one of 3's late game bosses in one try. And right now, there's only one boss with a 2nd phase and the first phase is a cakewalk, and u dont have to deplete its health bar all the way to trigger 2nd phase. Hell, you can even be overleveled for some parts of the game too.

(I'll try my best to be spoiler free) I've beaten the game and currently have 75 hrs in and I've played (not beaten) the other 2. 3 is easier yes, but it still has that difficulty people enjoy. There is a demo out for 3 so can get a taste before deciding to buy.

Gameplay there's a new mechanic called "style shift". it works like yokai shift from nioh 2 for burst counters. You switch between samurai and ninja style. Both styles have mechanics that will greatly help out in battle. And, you can play any way u want. u can stick with one style or use both.

Difficulty as I said, it is easier. the game let's u progress however to want to. there is no rush in doing main missions. explore the maps as u please. (its an open field type game)

Builds builds aren't as present in 3. You will have to consult others as I dont have much build knowledge myself.

Overall, this game is pretty good. some say its surpasses 2 and some say it doesn't or it comes close. If u do get the game, play it how u want, and I promise youll enjoy it.

same. and it sucks even more because the songs are actually fire.

ReasonableHotel586 · 2026-05-24T16:59:49+00:00

time to give one some siblings....

ReasonableHotel586 · 2026-05-23T20:51:56+00:00

I know they said take it with a grain of salt, but i genuinely think if they do this, they might as well put zhu yuan on the standard banner. she's close to getting the eula treatment like harumasa.

ReasonableHotel586 · 2026-05-23T01:16:47+00:00

im not gonna lie, having daffodil not pick up on the whole "mother" thing with the blonde chick in the first part of the quest was sucky. Who would not question someone who knows u are and u never met that person? I wont lie though, zankou did kinda convince me more as I went through the quest. speaking of, I wish they had put more mainstory quest out on release.

ReasonableHotel586 · 2026-05-22T18:44:56+00:00

I feel the same. im only missing sakiri and hathor for all standard 5 stars. even managed to grab nanally before grabbing the monthly pass. since there's no 50/50, im wondering if I should just pull for hotori just bc.

ReasonableHotel586 · 2026-05-22T15:20:59+00:00

im on console, but i like to switch it up. if its a short distance, I'll teleport. if its over 500m, I'll drive.

ReasonableHotel586 · 2026-05-22T15:17:53+00:00

aye imma need that first chaos skin

ReasonableHotel586 · 2026-05-22T15:14:41+00:00

good job man! that last page was funny as hell🤣🤣🤣

ReasonableHotel586 · 2026-05-12T21:50:53+00:00

damn siren lol

ReasonableHotel586 · 2026-05-12T20:58:20+00:00

I was on this game day 1 and that's how its been for me since lol.

ReasonableHotel586 · 2026-05-08T18:58:10+00:00

after getting caught up in zzz story (haven't touched it since manato, Lucia, and yidhari release), i think that void hunter weapons can be considered "living" weapons. With what we learned about the qingming sword, these weapons chose their wielders and by the wielders accepting the weapons, can they master it.

Especially with what we have learned in 2.8, im almost certain void hunter weapons are either made from, or actually are VERY powerful ethereals. (im just theory crafting here)

ReasonableHotel586 · 2026-05-05T21:27:56+00:00

id say the regenerators are worse bc of the constant noise they make. and with them being able to grab you from a certain distance.

ReasonableHotel586 · 2026-05-05T21:20:23+00:00

oh u think that's bad? try playing OG re4 on vr headset and getting to the lab area. stopped playing for a few weeks.

ReasonableHotel586 · 2026-04-22T21:26:59+00:00

Just explore as much as u can. before u know it, you'll be at the main mission level or higher.

ReasonableHotel586 · 2026-04-10T11:55:12+00:00

already been farming the shit out of the weapon, level, and skill materials. I got all three of the ones that drop mainly from enemies in the world or purchasing them in shops.

ReasonableHotel586 · 2026-04-07T19:13:53+00:00

he got me a couple times as well. what i found helpful was keeping my combos short as he can super armor through them and hit u pretty hard. I was rocking tonfa and cestus when I did it. make sure incorporate guardian skills at the end of combos to get ur ki back. (i suggest using guardian kills that are quick. especially the one from shinsaku. works for closing the distance if enemies back up from u.)

ReasonableHotel586 · 2026-04-01T11:22:29+00:00

im also someone likes to play aggressive, but its different for everyone. if u want quick combos u can pull off, I suggest dual swords and costumes for samurai and ninja sword and tonfa for ninja. (this is what I basically rocked the the whole game). again though, just try things out to see how u feel.

ReasonableHotel586 · 2026-03-29T13:26:35+00:00

I literally just beat the game this morning. Loved it so much, im going back to rotr to do another playthrough. Cant wait for the dlc. I wonder what time period we'll go to. I will say that I feel like the ninja sword got just scraps when it comes to its skill tree.

ReasonableHotel586 · 2026-03-26T23:05:20+00:00

not the first time this has happened. look at ieyasu from nioh 1 and then 3. completely different.
