Dude, that guy was a cakewalk compared to the finale, but yea he was a bitch. The final boss took me 2 HOURS alone because he had 6 stages!!! THats right, 6 life bars and different bullshit tasks. I read a review and a FAQ after the game... both said this boss is the worst they have EVER seen in gaming
What really sucks is that you have to baby step EVERY boss. Hit it twice than run. Whoever designed this game needs a good case of herpes!
The reason I played it now was I wanted a God of War fix... this didnt help

Bayonetta had that multiple Life Bar shit but at least they managed to make the Boss battles fun. If they had just toned down the Boss fights in Conan it would've been totally awesome.

I love anything to do with Conan and since I finally purchased a PS3, I was looking to purchase this game. The only problem was that I couldn't find it anywhere. Finally, I found it used for $15 but for whatever reason, I decided to hold off. Now after reading this thread, I'm glad that I decided to keep my money.

Yea, the boss battles here are not fun. THe only saving grace of this game:
If you love Conan and can see yourself playing the game again, if you beat it on hard, you unlock all moves and the ability for your swords to "sing" - they glow and combos just flow (ala God of War), plus all magic. It makes the game VERY easy. SO Easy that I played to the first bone crusher and got to him in less than an hour and it took less than a minute to beat him. Whereas on hard it took me at least 30 mins.

A few weeks ago I got a used copy of this for $9 and have been enjoying it for what it was (never having played a "God of War" game, I can't make the clone criticism), until this evening...
...when I reached the final boss. He really is a pain in the ass and I'm tempted to just give up on the game. The IGN review was right: this last part is not enjoyable at all.
Funnily enough, prior to this last boss the hardest part of the game for me was this damn section in the desert where you have to jump from one ledge to another. I spent a fruitless 30 minutes trying before I had to consult a walkthrough (turns out you have to keep A pressed down so Conan "glides" a little more). Stupid jumping in video games.

No, I gave up. If I ever have a spare few hours and absolutely nothing to do, maybe I'll give it another shot. There wasn't anything enjoyable about that last boss whatsoever.
I picked up a used copy of Fable II tonight, so I'm hoping for a more pleasing experience.
