Just to add my 2 cents to the conversation. Every boss/mini-boss take at least 50 tries for me. The game is insaaaane! I am getting better though, so that’s nice. Haven’t reached Genichiro yet. Gyobu at least 100 tries over 2 year period. Seven spears at least 50 tries. This guy near the entrance to Abandoned Dungeon (very claustrophobic area) at least fuckin 150 trieees.I havent beaten Lady Maria (Edit: Butterfly) yet, but have done at least 30 tries already.Chained Ogre however was I think 20 tries, so quite nice.What really makes me happy playing is to realize how ruthless the devs were. Like “fuck them noobs, git gud or fckin dieeeeee!”. I feel like I’m being taught by monks in South East Asia, no mercy!
