Generally speaking, how does one define a superboss? Is it simply an optional boss serving as the most difficult opponent in the game?
>>
Artificial difficulty that makes you grind to max level or use a guide.
>>
Superbosses are optional bosses significantly harder than the mandatory final boss.
>>
Bosses that are harder than the final boss but not part of the main story. Artifical difficulty doesn't exist. Either it's hard or it's not.
>>

Difficult boss that is completely disconnected from everything else.
>>
>>730827459
It's optional and kills the entire party in one hit when you first find it.

an optional, usually secret battle that is harder than the story's final boss. doesn't count if it's the final boss of an expansion storyline (i.e., Chef Saltbaker or Maruki) or the final boss of a hidden true ending path (like Ballos or Zero-Two). At least in my opinion.

getting a BIG difficulty spike

>superboss comes in a later update and requires the cheese strats players have figured out in regular gameplay to beat
Kinda fucking lame honestly
>>
>>730827459
a boss that is not required to complete a game, and is a significant step up in challenge from the required end game
>>
They're best when they're hidden somewhere out of the way, where you wouldn't normally go, or at least not return to

Wrath of the Righteous has one per chapter like Playful Darkness and the Ashen Lady.

Wasteland 3 has the golden scorpion robot

It was less difficult and more lengthy. The fight takes like over an hour, but you can pace yourself by saving / healing outside the arena so long as you do it quickly and re-engage the boss before his self heals undo your work.

I watched a football game for most of the battle just checking to see if anyone was dead. You really only have to pay attention for that last quarter of HP as he starts getting stupidly fast, multi-hit combos and spamming insta-kills.
>>
>>730827459
A boss that will test your skill and limits.
A final challenge for those who seek it.
A fight you will think of and remember even after finishing the game.

This shit is why I hate early access on any kind of RPG.
This is inevitable and odds are it'll happen to a main story boss.
