Like say, the Trial of the Fool or the Path of Pain.
Basically, the pantheons are boss rushes containing 10 bosses each. 9 from the main game, including dream bosses, dream warriors, DLC bosses, etc., and a final boss unique to that pantheon. Each one has a harder group of bosses than the last, and between the four, every boss in the game is included, except for The Radiance. You get one free heal after the 5th boss of each pantheon. So the trick is to master each of the game's bosses well enough that you can beat them successively in a gauntlet, and still have enough HP/soul leftover to beat the new boss at the end. That's why there's the statue gallery in the basement, so you can practice if any one boss is giving you trouble.

It's hard to say, since I've completed neither of those. I never put a concerted effort into them like I did for the pantheons. If nothing else, the pantheons shouldn't greatly eclipse those in difficulty, since I wasn't able to beat them easily or anything. They might even be easier.Basically, the pantheons are boss rushes containing 10 bosses each. 9 from the main game, including dream bosses, dream warriors, DLC bosses, etc., and a final boss unique to that pantheon.

What about the handicap thing? Do I need to do all of those, or a few, or any at all?
Speaking of which, in addition to the new bosses, there's also the Pantheon of Hallownest which is unlocked once you complete the other four. It's a boss rush of 40 bosses rather than 10, with 3 free heal spots.
There's no new bosses per se, but the PoH has several alternate versions of the old bosses. Absolute Radiance (replacing The Radiance), for example, or Sisters of Battle (replacing Mantis Lords). In particular, Sisters of Battle is a contender for my favorite boss in the entire game, so it's worth giving PoH a shot just for that.

I haven't played a KH game before.I hoped it would show up on a digital subscription service like PSNow, as I'm not sure I want to buy it outright. Out of the blue, the series showed up on Epic Games instead.
Sony might be buying Square Enix soon though, so maybe there's hope. KH III is on Xbox Game Pass too, randomly.
Been playing The Evil Within 2. I'm enjoying the changes from the first. It brings in sandbox elements, which I normally dislike. It works here though. I'm maxing my stealth skill tree out first. Just feels more appropriate for the setting, and it's kinda cool just going ninja on these monster people or whatever they are.
And the ghost lady has been pretty terrifying so far. Just shows up while running a mission and all you can do is hide until she leaves. There's a surprising lack of ghosts in most horror titles. You forget how scary they can be, since they obey a completely different set of rules from you.
It's something Fatal Frame did really well at its peak. Hard to feel safe when your enemies can go through walls.

Long Nail and Spell Twister.
So all in on dps. I usually swap out range for Quickslash spamming, but some enemies you simply can't get away with it (The Radiance for example) Do you bother with focus healing at all?
