How much of this chapter is optional
Which leaves 7 optional. That ratio is the shape of the whole game, and it is the one thing every source agrees on: most of what you can fight, you do not have to. The game-wide totals are another matter — published counts run from 88 to over a hundred depending on whether the guide counts secret bosses, repeat fights and summons — so there is no honest number to put here. The proportion holds anyway, so two out of every three are things you have to go looking for.
The finale tightens up: roughly half of its thirteen are required, the highest proportion since Chapter 1.
Thirteen bosses, six of them required
Seven of the thirteen are optional, and the ratio matters more here than anywhere: this is the last chapter, so anything skipped is skipped for this run. If you have been putting off optional fights to keep momentum, this is where that debt comes due.
The ending you get is decided before you arrive
There is a second ending, and Chapter 6 is only where it is collected. The route reported by players is: clear every secret area across Chapters 1 to 5 and finish the Chapter 3 treasure hunter questline, which opens the final secret area, Mount Mei, through the Great Pagoda in Chapter 3 and the fight with Erlang; beat him, then come back here and beat the final boss again. None of that is signposted — which is the real reason the optional content in the earlier chapters matters.
