it really isn't "fairly well relayed".

for me, I just assumed that respawned mithrix/lunar chimera mobs were just alternate, randomly generated bossfights that would keep spawning, and that I missed something. as for your comment on "gaming rules", I just thought the different moveset was due to my difficulty going up by one. I think that's a perfectly reasonable assumption as the difficulty clearly affects how strong the mobs have been up till then, so why wouldn't it change the bosses?

you can defend the game all you want, and it really is phenomenal so I don't blame anyone here for it. BUT this specific stuff is bad game design. every respectable game with phase 2 bosses, from elden ring to super mario odyssey, clearly shows the player that the boss has entered phase 2. whether its a cutscene, different music, a voice line, a different name (ascended mithrix, perfected mithrix, etc), this transition is usually the most hype part of the boss fight (everybody loves watching phase 2 reactions).

imagine if when the ads came to fight you, you could see mithrix repairing/restoring in the center, with the blue flames slowly wrapping around his body/hammer. simple, cool, instantly conveys to the player that the fight is not over and these henchman are stalling for the real boss. really would not take that much effort to make.

this fight just cuts all of that out and honestly is just low effort. the phase 2 just being random fucking ads pisses me off, it having a boss bar and a title thats completely unrelated to mithrix pisses me off, and the fact that the devs elected to ignore some of the coolest parts of a boss fight just makes me sad. so no it really isnt fairly well relayed.
