Why do we always have to power creep our way into nothing being a threat
Keep in mind, nearly every time we beat something extremely out of our league, we have the help of something incredibly beyond ourselves:

Ultima Weapon - Hydaelyn's Blessing, fully revealed for the first time.
Nidhogg - either Nidhogg's Eye or Hraesvelgr's Eye, powerful arcane objects that give us near-superhero levels of strength and endurance beyond our normal abilities.
Shinryu - the fully restored Blessing of Light from Hydaelyn after the events of the post HW patch series - beyond that, it's just another Primal, which is kind of our thing.
Hades - the combined light energy of every Lightwarden on Norvrandt, as well as the combined power of two Warriors of Light, and 7 additional called Warriors of Light from 'stars yet undimmed' - we are truly bringing ALL TO BEAR against him. And it's still nearly not enough.

For normal primals, it's established in the lore that even normal warriors can stand against them, so it's not out of the question that an echo-blessed adventurer like us, especially one as skilled as we are, can stand against them by pushing ourselves to our mortal limits. For these world-shaping battles, though, we almost always have something that is pushing us past our mortal limits, some sort of godly assistance, or some sort of power that is beyond that which most mortals are able to receive. I think, eventually, we're going to run out of these divine interventions, and be forced to save the world by our own power alone. When that happens, well, we'll truly see what the Warrior of Light is capable of, won't we?
