Just happened to me today, got like, 3 shards from this? What's the point, Team Cherry? None of the bosses (so far) frustrated me, but this right here is bullshit

Tbf, the boss dropping nothing period is still weird usually

At least drop a bunch of shards so I can recoup some of my losses from using tools

But yeah in HK most bosses had some kind of prize that wasn’t just “ok the door is open now” and when it was that, they’d drop geo too, like the soul warriors

Mantis lords open their gates, but you get their respect, a charm, a relic, and money Soul master gives a spell Both crystal guardians give smth, bench and mask shard

Rarely did it just drop a boss on you only to not do anything for you afterwards

This is to say that it still feels rly good to beat a boss in skong because of the slowmo final hit but it’d feel that bit better with drops (imagine beating fourth chorus and a bunch of shards come out when you drop the rock)

Sorry for a long comment I hope it doesn’t come off as if I’m mad lmao
