I've marked spoiler since I don't know what counts as a spoiler in this game and want to talk freely about a specific fight.
Following no guides at all and going through quests to get from point A to point B, I've came to a point in The Sacrifice where the difficulty suddenly spikes dramatically and I'm not sure why.
All of my friends who play the game say "I'm sorry, that segment isn't that great" and mention some side content that I was barely aware existed.
The first Excalibur Umbra fight was okay. I just had to void sling once and transfer.
The second Excalibur Umbra fight was very annoying. I kept getting killed as operator and booted back to my frame, and I only dealt a minimal amount of damage when a critical hit occurred. otherwise I just saw a cloud of 0s fill the screen.
I quit the third fight since I died every 4 seconds to every other attack from Umbra while ticking off a thirtieth of his shield bar. He also sees you when you're supposed to be invisible.
The game never told me what an Amp was, nor where to get it. The game never showed me anything about focus besides a personality quiz during a previous questline that said that I'd be tanky, and I have 10,000 focus points and no clue how to gain any more. I only know these terms from going to outside sources and tips from friends.
My main question here, is why does Umbra have such an intense scaling that it requires you to die a million times in a row? I'm actively interested in the story as it is, but my patience is limited. I can only do so much grinding.
