The learning curve for Khazan was insane. The first two bosses were hard enough as is, but I managed. Why was Viper so god damn hard? I barely managed to get by phase 1 only for a second phase to start.

The devs published some data on the game, and apparently, Viper is the boss most people died to. I think he's that much of a hurdle - not comparable to something like Genichiro in Sekiro in terms of complexity, but I think once you beat him, the game sorta opens up to you. Not to say that basically any other boss after Viper is even harder, but Viper is such a huge early roadblock, man.

What were your experiences?
