Chapter 133: Impossible Enemy
Trellise’s side quest was designed in a rather cruel way.
The aim was to defeat Allaryx, but doing so on the first try was practically impossible. There were no petty tricks, impossible-to-dodge attacks, or skills involved.
In the words of the lead developer, Allaryx was "impossibly strong."
He said in an unreleased interview that if someone could "defeat him in the first try, a great tragedy would be avoidable."
But that was asking for the impossible.
- This is going hard!
- The best boss theme by a margin.
"Time to beat you down," Noala announced.
But none of that happened.
On the contrary, he found himself on the defensive.
Allaryx was overwhelming him with nothing but subpar stabs and sweeps. It was as if he were playing with a child out of boredom.
Throughout the battle, he would randomly switch his patterns and fighting style.
