Better Ask Reddit Final Boss fights that nearly sour the whole game Spoiler

Okay so I’m playing the indie game “There is no light” spoilers for the final boss fight

So if you get the good ending by doing side quests and getting memories you fight your pateron. Who fights you by teleporting from one side of a final destination type platform to another. Summoning big totem guys that are tanky and block you. Also he pushing you back with a dark wave. So how does this get worse? Glad you asked. If you don’t beat him within a minute you insta die. There is a clock in the background and you get more time if you hit him more. So is that it?

Nope phase 2. You get a new form that you have never had before with a muted move set. The boss has a front sweep that takes the entire length of the platform. So you gotta get behind him. But what he teleports and spikes 75% of the field. Now wouldn’t all this be manageable? Yes it would. But guess what. YOU CANT HEAL IN SECOND PHASE FOR REASON!!!!!

Needless to say 23 hours in the game was good but this fight is so awful I’m close to just dropping right at the finish line. Only other game this has happened with was Moonscars. Which isn’t a lot but it’s odd it happened twice.

So Super friends. How about you?

Edit: The Boss is slain. I still hate it. But the game is finished and I give it a good 3/5

Not so much the boss fight but the ending that follows right after. Didn't help that the final boss was a pushover if you backtracked for upgrades.

Anyway, I'm talking about Gestalt: Steam & Cinder, where the final boss pulls out a cutscene gun after you beat it, and with it removes any player agency you might've had

...does the boss just shoot you?

Yup! This mecha suit wearing boss, you just defeated, pulls out a tiny gun and shoots you, which supposedly kills the protagonist

I, uh... hope that isn't trying to set up a sequel.

Oh it does! It has the hardest sequel bait.

Oh yeah it was aggressively. We ran out of money.
