Exactly the title. It always took me like 50 tries to beat the monk in mibu village but the true monk takes like 5 tries. This came apparent to me on my recent playthrough where I killed the true corrupted monk first try. Why does the early game one phase boss feel more of a challenge than the late game three phase version?
I had the exact opposite experience. If you stay right on top of the fake one’s ass and constantly chip at its posture it can’t handle it. Its hard but I always had the real one dome me multiple times.
