Ways to tell if you're about to fight a difficult boss

Post by Goat »

Western/USA games
- Same height as you
- Reskin of another enemy, isn't very common and isn't considered a "King Slime" monster
- It's entire skin is blue and is more or less naked.

Eastern/Japanese games
- Maid Outfit/Victorian inspired outfit, has an umbrella
- Cute
- Girl
^ If all three are true you might need to grind for a long time

Kirby requires it's own warnings

- Not Kirby/Meta Knight/Dedede/Bandanna Waddle Dee/Adeleine
- Helps you at the start of the game
- A brand new character

i feel like your definition for japanese bosses only applies to touhou and new wave PS visual novels with attempts to incorporate gameplay like akiba strip

If it was focused on Touhou I would have mentioned "The stupider the hat the more blood will be on the mat"

A general rule of thumb I tend to see is, if the room before said boss is empty and suspiciously generous with items/healing/etc., then there's probably a killer boss ahead.

"Is a giant eye ball" seems to be a red flag for most video game bosses.

Maybe it's just me, but Omega definitely didn't seem like the most difficult boss in Z3. Sure, he had a lot of health, but I found most of his attacks weren't too tough to dodge. still prolly my favorite boss tho the fight was really fun
