Yeah, that’s one of the memories I retained of my 12-years-ago playthrough that the first boss was the most difficult by far.

Another of my issues is that I’m a completionist and want to play every sidequest and get most unlockables. And that means either juggling 4 wiki lists while playing, or as I ended up having to do, unify them into a single spreadsheet for each chapter. Spending hours not actually playing the game 😑
