I just beat this game not too long ago and I'm only now finding out that fighting Topoda was entirely optional? I guess it makes sense in retrospect since your main goal at that point is just the map pieces, but I guess I just stumbled on him thinking I was still on the main story path. He's definitely a doozy to fight right after Heikea, but probably one of my personal favorite bosses. Also the Dark Souls helmet really does carry if you go through the trouble of finding it; I feel like I would have struggled with the last few bosses a lot more than I actually did if not for it.

I did a full on balance build. My stowaways were literally Sinker++, Sinker+, & Sinker. There was a decent amount of bosses that got knocked from a single mantis punch. I went all in on strength & umami for stats. I upped my HP just before fighting the ceviche sisters but after beating Pagurus, I felt like that made the game too easy so I reset & stayed on 0 HP for the rest of the game. It was really fun to be forced to learn every dodge & parry timing.

here are a few things about the bosses i noted: i wasn't aware of the rubber band stowaway, so i was stuck fighting voltia without it, but i found my own workaround to her main attacks: with spearfishing, you can disconnect the appliances from her, leaving her a sitting duck for a while. pagerous the ravenous is a great fight....where i accidentally did a sequence break the developers actually planned for, believe it or not. if you manage to beat him before getting the map piece in flotsam vale, the piece you get from pagerous is the piece you would get from the mailbox. with the game making a joke about how you were too far ahead. also, i'd also call topeda my favorite fight in the game, if only for it being a challenge, but not irritating. i actually enjoyed fighting him in multiple attempts, as his telegraphs were just long enough for me to react in time, and that fakeout punch i even managed to fully parry once. my personal cheese-method for the later bosses, from petroch onwards, turned out to be using the tentacle power you get for beating the consortium, fully upgraded by topeda, combined with the battery+ stowaway, as the tentacle also can trigger the stun, and that sonofagun attacks faster than your hammer, so you can spam attack and while kril readies his swing, the tentacle is doing some work, healing you, as that's the final upgrade, and maybe even triggers the battery passive at least twice per use.

For a 1st play through, i personally think the early game bosses were the toughest. It was tricky to parry early on and Magista was one of the few bosses that took me a few attempts. Pagurus was the last challenge for me, after beating that boss i started doing so much damage that i killed bosses extremely fast. The levels and enemies themselves felt more like a challenge at that point, might depend on builds but i didn't have much trouble after defeating Pagurus, the ravenous. The hammer attack took 30%+ health from some bosses after that.

Shell health and durability doesn’t matter when you can bug the whole game out by using the thimble (for anyone who doesn’t know, the thimble and possibly any other fortify shell are bugged causing the effect to last until death and Carry over to any other shell, basically making all shells invulnerable to damage meaning all that matters is defence, the shell ability, and its weight) Also I can’t be the only one who found it weird how many shells just have… direct upgrades for some reason? Like no other differences just flat-out better stats. Like they can make three different ‘morning brew’ shells that each function a bit differently and are interesting but they have two shells that are just ‘the bottle cap but better’

Although not outright cartoony, and not a game i'd consider an *outright* Soulslike, I recommend you take a look at Clash: Artifacts of Chaos. Quite unique setting, very colorful, and its central piece of lore/mechanic is as interesting as it is absurd: That being the One Law. There is only one law in the land, and it states that prior to a physical altercation, anyone can challenge another to an (optional) game of dice called The Ritual, where you then take turns manipulating the dice on the playing mat. The winner gets to enforce a condition in the fight, based on an Artifact they choose to spend. Can range from setting arena limits to the opponent having to drink spider or snake venoms to banning weapons from the fight, to simply getting the first hit in with a big stick. Bar three or four instances, it's a wholly optional mechanic. Combat for the rest consists of physical melee with different martial art styles you can find and to a degree customize your playstyle with, all of which have their own unique animation movesets. (For example, Slash Stance is quick, wider sweeping hits, Boxing is the all-rounder, Spear is longest distance with concentrated damage, and individual moves have their own differences in directional dodge attacks, combo string, and run/jump/charge attacks compared to one another to analyze). Also, enemies can range from a grumpy milky pale-blue British bald cat/bat woman with a third arm growing out of her right lower arm. to a yellow toad creature with a nose ring and a frying pan in a barrel, to a fat turkey man with sharp teeth to a Platybelodon humanoid. Fun thing with them is that if you encounter those enemy "types" later on, that's not a new enemy with the same model. It's the same Mercenaries that chase after you throughout the entire game that you find at different points, in different team-ups. Though they're not the only enemies. Very much worth looking into and playing!

Had to watch this video to validate how hard the game was for me. For some reason I ended up doing the bosses in an odd order. So far I went from Royal Shellsplitter > Nephro > Magista > Pagurus > Lichenthrope > Consortium. Was wondering why the game was hard. I gues i was really out of order.

Completed the game with res+umami+some str+0 vit build, realizing halfway that you dont need block and res at all because you can use glass shells + def enchants to ignore most damage except blue and red attacks. My damage with weapon was a joke, but damage with shell skills, harpoon stike spam and pistol umami was really good letting to nuke bosses to half hp for all stars bar. I think it will be much faster and easier to put all points in weapon damage and forget about umami once and for all and just own bosses with a fork. Topoda is quite easy, on 2nd phase to avoid teleport strike you need to roll when he teleports to you and you actually see him and not when game plays teleport sound.

gravekeeper topoda was the hardest i found. i missed no bosses first playthrough (i usually explore well) and topoda takes it for me. i do wish the game was harder though. as soon as you unlock parry this game is pretty much a cakewalk. oh and the ceviche sisters were hilariously easy. as soon as i got into the arena i threw a few of those sticky bombs powerups at them and they both died instantly. the boss lasted about 3 seconds.

The game actually gets easier after clearing out half of Flotsam Vale. Towards the shipping dock area.

don't like parrying? Get the skedaddle and Ebb and Flow skill, skedaddle is a backward dodge unburdened by your shell weight and Ebb and Flow is a reprisal if you manage to successfully dodge an attack with skedaddle, gets me through alot of the bosses with swiping attacks

I died the most to nephro cause of my bad gear, after I got the hook I combed the area for upgrades and steamrolled the other bosses. Also 🤓um actually, the eel’s name is VOLTAI, not VOLTAL. (said with extreme lisp)

I went full glass cannon in this game and I never do that shows you how easy it was and I was g even doing that much damage towards the end

Used coconut pretty much most of the game not sure if it stacked with the charge attack stowaway but rollout was sweet for transport around the world and fighting never saw Roland’s attacks just bowled him over I thought it was the easiest fight

The valve shell is my goat, I killed topoda 4th try with it. My heart was burning though idk if that’s normal

10:52 yes it absolutely is possible I did it first try with full strength build.

Also with blood leech+ bosses are a joke, especially with the tentacle.

How’s the experience of a SL1 run in this game? It’s a toss-up and it feels like it could be either fun or just tedious

I had a crazy different list. Finding difficulty in The Bleached Ling fight is bizarre, easiest to cheese out of any fight imo, but the orgy cage fucked me up hard, even though i came back to it after beating the game.

Inkerton, Helikia, then maybe topodea. Did the same build you did and in no way is the bleach crab, chitin, roland, paegerous or firth contenders for the hardest bosses. Although to be fair i did beat the last 4 bosses with the spell you get from the consortium so maybe i didn't even give them a fair go since that spell upgraded with 2 sinkers hits like a truck.

Yeah, its a soulslike about crabs and various other sealife. By various other sealife, I mean crabs who use old timey telephones as exploding laser guns. Those things are somethin else man. The game's peak, go play it.

Praya the Ocean’s Agony is actually the easiest boss in the late game. Those projectiles? They harm the hoards. You don’t even have to fight until Chiton descends, and then it’s easy to fight her like he said

The sevrixh sisters are better at 19th because you can hook one out of the arena and kill it with fall damage.
@patrickgames85117 ай бұрын
in my opinion voltai the accumulator is the easiest boss fight because its pretty slow paced, I beat it first try, and by that time, your equipment is good so that boss was a cakewalk to me and the hardest in my opinion was roland the adventure crabitalist because his attacks did huge damage and were fast paced; tbh the gacha capsule shell greatly helped on his fight.
@Rorschach877 ай бұрын
Imo Topoda is the hardest boss in the game. I didnt even fight him immediately after Heikea, was fairly tanky, had the 4th level weapon and he still demolished me. By the time i fought firth, I had the dark souls helm so nothing was a threat.
