IMO all the boss and mini boss fights just feels like 343 were trying to extend the play time. so far only one or two of the fights have actually added something to the story the rest of the bosses could have been cut with 0 detriment, especially the “spartan killers” which have just been sponges.
I beat them both without even stepping into the room in 2 minutes with the shock rifle on Legendary.
Also, as a Soulslike player myself… yeah this is nowhere on the level of a difficult challenge. Bosses take a couple attempts max, you literally just learn where it starts and then equip yourself accordingly. No need to restart the mission. They all have shields - use Plasma- then switch to get the kill shot. People will 100% speedrun this game
I’ll keep my eye’s open for it. Thanks for the tip.
I’ve died more than once on many of these bosses but it comes down to just being prepared right with the right guns and then they’re a cakewalk. Not to mention some give you awful starting points if you die, like that first hammer chieftan. Of course, unlock the explosive skewer and give one to each of the five marines in your Razorback and you’ve just trivialized the whole game down to how long you can keep your Death Blossom 2.0 alive.
