With regard to your "no final boss" statement, how can you argue that he ISN'T the final boss of 4.0? The game doesn't actually have an end, sure, but Royal Menagerie is very clearly the final boss of 4.0, just as Final Steps of Faith was the final boss of the entirety of the 3.x series.
You realize that the patch with Nidhogg was near the end of 3.0 right? And this is at the very start of 4.0 right? This fight is more akin (in terms of pacing) to fighting Thordan. As before you do a final named storyline dungeon, and then a trial right after it. Exactly when you did it against Thordan. There will be another great villain to deal with in 4.0 they will reintroduce no doubt.
