* EasyLevelsHardBosses: In ''Spectrobes Origins'' the bosses are much more difficult than the levels that come before them especially if you don't do LevelGrinding. Normal enemies don't have complicated attack patterns but bosses have them, bosses can also attack ''very'' fast and some of them will also spam attacks that will constantly stun you. If you don't level grind or make strong Spectrobes to match your level the bosses will probably defeat almost all your entire team.

Fortunately for the player, Rallen and Jeena acquire a new device (the Cosmolink) which provides the same functionality.
