Got as far White noble boss, thought I killed home first time and was chuffed as fook, but no there’s a second phase. Can you buy something to get mana back? In act 2 I've found a spirit and a pair of boots that boost mana, briefly that is. |

Even with the items that help preserve mana, you'll run out. The best item for mana regen is a gourd that tops up mana on use when your health is full, but that means you're sacrificing health sips and you're going to have to rest and respawn enemies regardless. There really isn't a way around it.

I think I can get 2 splits, 2 transforms, 3 invisibility and 3 immobilise out of my mana bar across a boss fight.
You can invest into mana upgrades when you get to a certain point which I fully recommend along with maxing out the pluck of many spell, they absolutely rinse bosses.
Got a transform now which is quite tasty as well, he can put out a huge chunk of damage compared to the fire guy one.
There is also a soak for your hours that gives a good chance that drinking won't use a charge which is good for an extra one or 2 drinks that you weren't budgeting for.

Well, White noble down but pissed off it’s straight into another boss fight, can easily get him down to half and then that’s it.
I thought that was the end of the chapter after White Noble.

You on the bear now?
He is very doable, you will get him.

Cheeky barstard. It did take about 17 but a good it was playing it for that long.

He was one of the trickier early bosses to be fair, not much harder than him through to the tiger in chapter 2

Noble took me a handful of attempts, just to get him to the second form. Weirdly, I absolutely breezed it once I'd respecced to quick attacks. I don't think I really got hit at all in the 2nd half.
Tiger took me a lot more tries, probably more than any other boss so far, all the way up to where I am now in the back half of Chapter 3.

I remember the crushing disappointment when I first beat his phase one having blown all my cooldowns just to see a second phase 😂.

Same here, thought I’d pissed it only to get bartered.
Just like I am with the bear in the second part. It was easy to see when the Wind king was moving but it’s hard to see this time.

No, not yet but I now know where to get it. Is the best the final boss of chapter 1? |

Every chapter end boss has an item that helps a lot. The items help with other bosses as well sometimes but you should always get the one for each chapter.
Last chapter is the biggest boss rush of all, definitely a step up difficulty wise as they are taking a few goes.

They haven't seemed horrific yet but I'm only a couple in. They seem to have specific things you need to do in them though to get to a different part of the fight.

Well that’s Elder Jinchi and the Bear down, found them hard and not looking forward to the next million bosses :-).
Just started Chapter 2 and it looks stunning

Chapter 2 is absolutely phenomenal, make sure you explore everywhere. I watched a bit of Lobos Jr playing and he missed quite a lot of stuff, making life harder in the process. He's a lot better than I am though, so it didn't seem to affect him unduly.
Some people don't seem to struggle against Tony at all, probably a combination of build and RNG.

On the last boss now, will be there for a while 😂. Last chapter is the weakest but has some good bosses and a really nice bit leading to last boss.

Just started Chapter 2 and downed the 2’s up team and then wondered around a bit, it’s massive. Came across a big stone door (near a meditation site) that you can’t go through despite it being slightly ajar, can you go through it or is it like the random invisible walls that are everywhere? |

I had a week off that came just after launch so had quite a bit of free time.
That door is part of the hidden area for chapter 2 if it's the one I'm thinking of. Need to find the NPC that starts the quest. Was it near the massive stone dude?

Another hour on the last boss this morning, it's close every time but he has a lot of things that can drain away at your heals if you aren't right on it. Might respec a little to try and get a little more output from the things I'm using most in the fight. Transform and invisible are the big 2 for me for this one.
