so far the boss battles have required a bit of time and even more strategy, and i have fun fighting em. but yea just made it through palumpolum and honestly some of the random battles in that area gave me a harder time than some of the boss battles. like stated above...the two aerial snipers and the velocycle were extremely difficult and required some degree of luck combined with strategy to make it through. velocycles are bleedin evil and should b sent to the inferno!
