As much as I'm still enjoying the game, I have to say that I'm starting to wonder if it's too difficult for me. I get the impression that both the Crystal Guardian and the Broken Vessel require a degree of skill from the that I just don't have consistently, and I don't immediately see how I could upgrade to have more of a chance. I'm not giving up, but I am feeling this fatalistic dread that is quite fitting of the game...

It's not an easy game, but you are facing off against some of the hardest bosses it has to throw at you. Unless you're going for the secret true ending, the ones you fight during the latter half of the game aren't quite as bad.
Of all the mandatory boss fights, I consider the Soul Master, Crystal Guardian, Broken Vessel, and Hornet's 2nd fight to be the hardest of the bunch.

Thanks, that's good to know. Out of interest, how did you know if a boss was optional? Did the game tell you, directly or indirectly, or did you check a guide?

I can't say much without getting into spoiler territory, but, to be as vague as possible, if you have to go out your way to find them, or have to use a specific item to fight them, they're optional.

That definitely helps, especially the latter bit. Thanks.

I need to go back and give the Crystal Guardian another shot. He was killing me in a few seconds - mainly from his weapon but the light beams also took me down quickly so I put him on hold. I still have the waterways and ancient basin to clear out anyway, both of which are more... relaxing... on the whole. At least I've finally managed to defeat Mawlek - his attacks were a pain to dodge.

If you want a good example of the out of the way ones, I'd consider the Mantis Lords to be an optional fight, since you could go through the entire game without fighting them. All they give you is a charm, and an alternate entryway into Deepnest.
Though they're probably the easiest ones to find.

Okay, a nudge from a YouTube video has helped me with the Broken Vessel, mainly by giving me some tips on how to change up the charms I'm using. I'm now on the way to the Crystal Guardian, and I have an inkling that I might like to explore the Crystalized Mound while I'm in the area...

I'm poking around Kingdom's Edge, but my playtime with this has dropped off a cliff recently. I do start it up every day but I can rarely stay engaged with it for more than 20 minutes at a time.
