Boss Guide: The Almighty

The Almighty segment is a progression trap disguised as a “boss moment”: the real failure mode is not combat, it’s player confusion after the scene. Its signature is that players think the story ended or that they must grind, when the correct next step is almost always a dialogue/route flag. The clearest signal is the scene handoff itself: treat it as a checkpoint—save and follow the last named destination prompt. Most frustration follows two chains: (1) missing one dialogue flag → wandering → stuck loop, and (2) assuming the wrong sequence → revisiting the wrong places repeatedly. Misconception to fix: this is not a stats check; it’s a routing clarity check—progress comes from the next prompt, not power.
