AO currently has 7 bosses, but have any of you noticed that for every 3rd boss introduced there is a tremendous difficulty spike?
Like seriously:
Shura - Easy, is the beginner boss.
Iris - Also easy early game boss.
Lord Elius - Excruciatingly difficult the first time you fight him.
General Argos- Somewhat challenging but most can first try him.
Lady Carina - Is a joke for a late game boss
King Calvus - Hell, Lord Elius was just a prep for this guy.
Captain Maria - Map makes it annoying but not as hard as Calvus.
See what I mean?
I’ve also made a few assumptions regarding AO’s future bosses based off this pattern and the Storyline.
The 8th boss will likely be a high ranking member of the Skyhall Kingdom, (Cuz Skyhall is racist to Sea-Dwellers and hates our asses) as for the difficulty, I don’t see it being a lot harder than say Argos cuz many say that Skyhall doesn’t pose a threat or whatever. (Likely fought at lvl 160+)
As for the 9th boss. It will likely be a Son of Wotan we fight, they would definitely be harder than Calvus as they are Curse users and should be far more powerful in lore. (Likely fought at lvl 200+)
Well some RPGs have story bosses where we dont actually beat the boss but just need to get their hp low enough for a cutscene to happen, so this might be one of them.
In this case it could just be that we need to get their hp down to 50% and then cutscene happens where Morden or a Samerian General saves our ass.
yeah, overall though im not sure if each 3rd boss is meant to be a difficulty spike
argos and carina are easy because their ai sucks, carinas projectile is slow and her crash ends up just moving her past you and argos just spams aoe so you can stand in the corner of the room and shoot him with blasts/shot/flying slashes, they have good health and argos does a lot of damage for his place in progression
Be kinda weird that all these guys got had their names and abilities laid out and then we just never end up fighting them. I’d imagine we’re gonna get strong enough to be able to fight them.
I think the 9th bossfight might be a naval fight against the fenrir. it’s kinda dumb that the player can just advance up to the current point in the story with just a rowboat, this fight would force everyone to grind for at least a brig I imagine, and vetex could release the new boat alongside this fight.
i dunno why but for some reason ellius kills off my mage file while i can solo him on my savant file (i think its dps and health that my mage misses)
or i just speedran the game and forgot to upgrade my mage’s equipment ._. (that I barely even have)
