About the HP thing, your point seems to be that because people do not use the tools given to them (that would make the fight easier if used properly) things get too hard later… If people are kneecapping themselves by thinking ‘all I need is dash and slash’, well they kinda had it coming.
The issue is that most people are people of habit and habits are hard to break, especially when they also kinda work. Most bosses in both games can be solved by dashing and slashing better. It’s a strategy that works so it’s a strategy people will apply even if there’s potentially is a better strategy that would make the fight easier.
And so instead of experimenting with different tools to find what works better people will beat their head against the harder option because eventually the harder option will work too (or you give up and call the game too hard). I do the same thing with some Silksong bosses because sometimes I just don’t feel like experimenting.
