For Elius, it was fine, but i had like 20-30 more levels than required. Then it was Argos, who didnt seem too hard (but this time, however, a random dude joined the fight , so i really cannot judge), Cernyx was hard even tho i was around level 80-90, However , Carina was fine , her second phase was just obnoxious with her seemingly teleporting . And then there’s Calvus . Oh boy. The Boss itself isn’t horrible, it’s just a lot of trial and error(i could have probably beaten him alone with enough tries if some guy didnt join the fight and made it easier.)
My problems with Calvus are that he can movestack , and that the game teleports you in the castle without (seemingly)any way of leaving until you beat Calvus, and most importantly, no way to make food or potions.(and also the level recomendation being a bit too low.) And finally , at the point of the story i am at , The Pirate Captain (i forgot her name). I first tried her first phase(i was on 300 hp)and then the game drops me in her second phase , with no healing .
Now that’s okay since you don’t have to fight her first phase all over again , but i was still kinda surprised(and angry) that the level recomendation was at about 125-130 . During my best attempt , i got her at half health . But that’s not the problem . The problem is that since i took so long , another player joined the fight and (just like with calvus and argos) made it way easier . So , to make it short , i am 1)in disagrement with the level recomendations (too low) , and 2) i know some people might not understand why that makes me angry , but im tired of winning fight simply because other people join it. Now that im done yapping , tell me, other players, is the game just too hard, or am i just bad at it ?
I’m going to ignore this entire topic and summon @fartman1314 to do the forum welcoming ritual
Maria is stupid with her invincibility, horrible game design
Yaaaaa I dont blame you… Going to the bosses for the first time is very difficult! I too suffer with low reaction time in games alongside yknow… Makor skill issue! The only way I “beat” elius is because he flung into the dark sea…
I feel like the later bosses dashing everywhere is also hard for a first time experience so I do not blame you! Calvus took me like 50 tries lul
They also removed level gates so you will be underleveled probabllllyyyy… I like to overlevel alot lul… So no you dont suck
that answers my question , thanks !
My progress was very similar to yours, I’m full level and still can’t solo calvus. Its probably because I don’t use any gems or modifiers, but its hard to dedicate so much time into a build that might not even work for me.
i can solo calvus on a level 100 file cause i played enough deepwoken that i learned the importance of blocking
(also projectile spam but yk)
Yeah, I also have the skill issue of poor aim and not dodging properly
i did not, however, play enough deepwoken to get to power (basically level) 20 (i can only get up to power 15 
)
I could solo Calvus like months ago. Now that I’m back after a long break, I seriously struggle against him even on my main. I couldn’t defeat him on my warlord file that I’m leveling rn until another person came in and helped me. That could be a skill issue on my part since I’m not as used to fs and weapons as to magic.
Elius and Carina are still easy even after a long break. Argos is my fav boss and I have fun fighting him and he’s pretty easy too. Can’t say anything about Maria, I fought her a long time ago and didn’t get to her yet in my warlord file.
Calvus tho is a bane of me.
most people i know could solo calvus at level 90 before gems or modifiers were even released, it’s just practice
I wouldn’t call them “too hard” cause that kinda implies its unfair which I’ve never felt, but yeah the first time going up against them, especially Calvus can be pretty difficult.
I done all sidequest, find & upgrading gear before facing both elius and calvus, it make a fight alot easier
But for some reason, I found maria even harder than calvus 
one of the biggest misconceptions about cernyx I think a lot of newbies make is that they try to chase/keep up with cernyx’s speed, which can end up in attracting cultists (very annoying pests) and drain the stamina of the player, which is why the fight ends up being so hard.
but the truth is, you can kind of just, camp cernyx’s main arena and let him come to you, all of his attacks are pretty mild in terms of how much damage they deal, and he doesn’t really change all too much in his second phase (I’m ngl I have actually no idea what changes in his second phase besides the fact he gets freaky and takes off his clothes, I’ve fought him dozens of times and I don’t really think he actually gets any noticeable buffs). Once you’re lured him into your trap it’s really just a matter of punishing his really easy attacks then you’re golden.
some of the easiest attacks to punish are:
-his shot → earth blast combination, every time before he fires an earth blast at you, he’ll do a typically very weak punch (like 23 damage or something)
-ground pound pillar, the attack where he slams the floor to make a giant earth pillar which doesn’t deal very high damage but knocks you upwards in the sky.
if you can manage to learn these simple tricks around cernyx he becomes an absolute breeze even in the level 70’s.
Thing to be aware of for Ceneryx is that he has a melee M1 that does 250 damage.
Do not get close to him under any circumstances.
…he does?
honestly, that’s kind of funny lmfao
and to think that in the countless times I’ve murdered him for his good midgame gear, I never noticed such a peculiar attack
it’s kind of on the same level of obscurity as Calvus’ triasta tempest move
yeah I can’t fight calvus but I beat elius on a lvl 30 file with no armor so idk it’s different for all of em
Yup. That said, it’s not a repeated hit, it’s just one punch.
Makes you wonder, though, what Ceneryx would’ve looked like if he trained in FS instead of magic.
his shot blast would deal… 46 damage instead 
absolutely nothing else would change.
