>>720493513 (OP)
I happen to be playing through this game right now. "Gray Prince" Zote so far is by far the worst thing I've come across in this game. I've beaten him like 4 times (the version where he starts doing double damage after which the fat whore leaves the village). I don't know who the fuck thought making you fight the same boss over and over again as he becomes more and more annoying was a good idea.
I left it there to continue exploring and I just got the shadow dash from the abyss.
The only other fight that pissed me off so far is the 3rd stage in the Colosseum. I tried it 3 times and I died at the same spot each time (where you have to bounce between the two vertical walls while you fight aerial enemies above spikes). Those Colosseum fights are so fucking long and tedious, holy shit.
Anyways, I'm assuming OP is baiting because that crystal faggot barely registered as a mini-boss and I went to Crystal Peak before the city.
