What? Wait, am I really going to have to replay the last two dungeons, puzzles and grinding an bosses and all? WHAT?

This is not alright. It's a second dungeon in a row without a save point, and the boss attacks unexpectedly mid-puzzle. And it's a boss that almost exclusively uses an attack that confuses the entire party with 100% accuracy. And it seems to have more HP than any boss I've encountered yet. Maybe I could have prepared for the confusion attack somehow, but I wasn't warned, the boss literally attacked IN THE MIDDLE OF ME SOLVING A MINING CART PUZZLE.

I beat a puzzle-dungeon without dying. A boss sprung out without much warning... and it was a 1-on-1 boss too. Fine, I defeated it. Without offering me a save point, I was teleported into another dungeon. Alright. No party, only two characters. Fine. I solved the dungeon. In the middle of a puzzle--another boss. It kills me, and that's that. What the fuck?

Was this ever playtested? How is this ever considered alright?

(I made a similar thread aout BoF3 being lovable but tedious, but apparently it's already gone. Sorry for spamming. I looked and the thread is not in the catalogue.)
