I do not know what the hell is wrong with me, but the very first boss in Lies of P (the parade master), is my exact antithesis. Every other boss generally only takes me 2-3 tries at most, but I think I spent like 4 hours trying to kill that fucker.
And before you ask, yes, he still spanks me later in the game, and every time I start a new game.
The factory must grow.
