Issue

The final boss in the progression chain has a much larger gap between its combat power requirement and the previous boss than any other consecutive pair in the chain. This creates an unexpected and steep prestige wall right before the end of the pre-prestige game.

Expected Behaviour

The scaling between consecutive bosses should be consistent throughout the chain, including at the end. The final boss should be challenging but reachable with the same level of effort as other late-game bosses.

Steps to Reproduce

List all bosses in order with their combatPowerRequired values
Calculate the ratio between each consecutive pair
Note the jump at the final boss

Suggested Fix

Adjust the final boss's combatPowerRequired to fit the established scaling curve, or add intermediate bosses to bridge the gap.

Priority

🟡 Medium — affects the feel of the endgame but doesn't block progression entirely
