One of the cooler aspects of thymesia Level design is the concept of subquests. These give you a reason to revisit old areas and experience them with new challenges and enemies. From time to time you will also be asked to defeat new bosses and the God of Fools is one of those bosses.
Despite being a god, this guy is a pushover. It may be the size of a skyscraper, but the challenge in this fight is actually the level itself – not the boss. As with The Hanged Queen, God Of The Fools is more of a gimmick fight. The trick here is knowing how to use the gimmick.
Overview of God of Fools
The not-so-final encounter in the Sea Of Trees area of Thymesia. God Of The Fools is an impressively large monstrosity that embodies everything the area has to offer – copious amounts of venom and a tendency to breed cysts in less than ideal locations.
The general idea here is to destroy Cysts, run like crazy, and scale the nearby scaffolding while killing countless high-level enemies in the process. This battle is more about resource management and testing your ability to deal with powerful enemies in a stressful environment. The God Of The Fools is more of an afterthought.
