No really, get fucking good, this boss is actually really easy.
>>324433475
I didn't even find it that hard to be honest, took me 2 tries.
The spiders are about as braindead as the boss itself. Don't try to spam R1 for the second and third phase and you should be fine.
From literally gave you an anti Rom weapon in the DLC because you babbies kept complaining.
Beasthunter Saif literally hooks up underneath the spiders and you can kill them from the front and bypass their armour.
Then there's the whirly saw which you can effectively oneshot the cunt with.
No excuses.
Better learn the fight now. One of the chalice dungeons puts you against Rom in a tiny room.
Learn how to hit and run.
>attack everything from the side
It's really not that hard once you figure this out.
>>324433475
Use Tonitrus. How are you getting one shotted by the spiders?
>>324433475
ignore the spiders retard
Just stay on the move and ignore the little spiders you fucking retard.
The best thing to do in this game is to be as offensive as possible. Don't be a fucking faggot and you'll succeed.
>>324433475
Killed her in one try, how about you learn to fucking dodge instead of spamming R1 fag.
Get your cannon and win. 4 shots and it gets dropped.
>>324435624
I thought the cannon was nerfed.
>there are people that waste time dealing with the basically harmless spiders
>>324433475

don't do that
>>324433475
>that can all 1 hit you
>I haven't allocated my stats properly, but it's the games fault
>>324435794
>basically harmless
They've always one shot me with their leaping attacks from off camera. Ever since I decided to be patient and eliminate them all first, I've never had any trouble in any of the Rom fights.
>>324433475
>I want boss battles to be easy!!!
>>324436192
>They've always one shot me
You didn't have enough VIT. You should have at least 50 VIT by that point in the game.
>>324436381
50 vit is pretty extreme, but I know for a fact that you can tank the spiders hits anywhere above 30 Vit
>>324436192
You have a dodge button, dumbass.
>>324436381
>50 vit by rom
How much did you over level?
>>324433475
>that can all 1 hit you
Why is it that in every daily "WAH SOUSL ARTIFISHUL" thread, the guy never levels the HP stat?

i'll be fine right?
Second half of the game after the red moon drops really drops the ball, compared to the first.
Cleric Beast-Gascoigne-Amelia was a way better romp that Rom-Old One-Micolash
>>324434006
This. Rom is a joke.

>I like hard games until they're actually hard!
>>324433475
>having trypophobia
>this boss
fuck you from
>>324433475
All you need to do is run around in circles until you find a chance to hit a spider, and then once they're dead, do the same with Rom. If you do it that way, it becomes a pretty long fight, but it is 200% retard proof; you literally cannot fuck it up. You will never get hit.
>>324437049
>not summoning Henryk
For new Souls players:
Get the minimum stats for your weapon, then cap your Vit and End.
>>324437192
Madaras is at the start of the level, I don't want OP to die on the way there
>>324433475
Right now I'm using the pizza cutter and the church cannon. good or not?
Also with the pizza cutters spin to win this boss went down in a minute
>>324433475
I always kill Rom before he can teleport, just skipping the annoying half of the fight. It has a really low stagger limit
>>324437195
>and End
Blodborne only needs 20 end
>>324437082
Yes actually. Bloodstarved isn't that hard.
>>324433475
the only time anyone is allowed to complain about Rom is with the pre-patch tracking of the meteors, and that's it.
Even then it was easy enough to avoid them.
>>324437082
Carry antidotes & fire bombs for his last phase, 11 VIT will get wrecked by the poison.
>>324437149

>>324435794
They can be dicey.
If one of them pulls that high jump move from off screen and you don't see it coming you're about to eat a fuck ton of damage.
It's impossible to keep them all in front of you and pure mobility isn't possible either.
This is mainly why people hate Rom. It's a chancy fight at times.
It's truly shitty in the Chalice Dungeons.
>>324433475
Ignore the little spiders. Focus on Rom, you vacuous fuck.
>>324437879
You can lure them away from the main group. This >>324437980 also works, but wouldn't bother unless you stagger his first teleport.
>>324434208
I thought Tonitrus was the anti-Rom weapon.
>>324437879
in the CDs you can use the pillars to your advantage
>>324438195
OP is gonna get fucked if he put a foot on the chalice dungeons.
>one shot all the spiders in phase one, since Rom won't attack
>Go apeshit on her
>Hit and run the rest of the fight, weaving through the spiders instead of killing them
>PREY SLAUGHTERED
Woooooooowwwwwwww
>>324438097
It is, I think it took me about a minute to kill Rom with a +7 Tonitrus.
Use a quick weapon, pop a beast pellet, kill all the spiders in the first phase when rom is idle, run up to rom and time your charged r2 so it hits when he is just about to teleport to stagger him, kill him in 30 seconds without having to deal with phase 2 or 3

Second-hardest boss in the whole game after Laurence.
>>324438979
I don't get how people think this boss is hard. Only hard part about him is at half health his charge can one shot. But his charge has a huge windup, so whats the issue?
>>324439131

It's one of my favorite fights because it's actually different than BIG BOSS hit hard; the fight requires lots of fun kiting.
Also the atmosphere is palpable.
>>324439216
I did most bosses on max 2-3 tries but this shitty dog took me like 10+ attempts because of his bullshit instant kill attack. Amydgala defiled was also a bitch and I couldn't get past her without cheesing the fucking part which she tore her arms off her back and goes apeshit.
>>324438979
You're posting the easiest boss in the game, that's what.
Seriously I beat this guy with a +3 blades of Mercy with very little Vitality, all of his attacks are incredibly slow.
>OP complains that enemies can 1-hit you
>Bad players come in going "just pump your vit"
Disgusting. Anyone who thinks the solution to a bossfight is to crank up the easy mode and chug blood vials has no valid opinion on any of the game's bossfights.
The only objective way to measure the quality of any of the game's bossfights is as an unleveled waste of skin character.
Beat Rom first try and I still really loved that fight.
>>324439528
The problem isn't his normal attacks, you can Iframe abuse them easily, the only problem are both his leaps. I don't think your vit even matters when the dungeon is defiled.
>>324439131
You mean defiled watchdog right?

>>324439758
Of course. Regular watchdog is piss-easy.
He's hard but he's completely doable. Hell, you don't even need to kill the other spiders, I just roll to his side -> charge attack -> get the fuck out. Rinse and repeat. If the spiders are too close to him just lead them to you and them move in.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>324433475
Honestly, the souls games and bloodborne generally have very poorly designed bosses.
I'm not talking about difficulty here, but just being shit.
For example they love trying to balance a shitty and poorly designed boss by throwing in a bunch of normal enemies (too many examples to count). Another twist on this is simply make a boss and then make you fight several of them.
Some are just downright jokes (most recent example is living failures).
The games have some genuinely good boss fights, but most of them are honestly just bad.
>>324439985
Anon I think you should go see a doctor
>>324437082
That's a bit low, but it is doable. Do what >>324437693 said. If you have fire paper/pungent blood cocktails you'll be fine. Fire is strong against beast and cocktails will draw him to any place you want

Which boss gave you guys the most trouble? I'll rank mine here, starting with the most deaths I've had all the way to the bottom and fewest deaths (excluding Chalice Dungeons, including DLC):
>Orphan of Kos
>Ludwig the Accursed
>Father Gascgoine
>Blood-Starved Beast
>Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower
>Vicar Amelia
>Rom, the Vacuous Spider
>Cleric Beast
>Martyr Logarius
>Darkbeast Paarl
>The One Reborn
>Shadow of Yharnam
>Amygdala
>Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos
>Laurence, the First Vicar
>Living Failures
Killed these on the first try, so they all share a bottom spot:
>Mergo's Wet Nurse
>Moon Presence
>Gherman, the first Hunter
>The Witch of Hemwick
>Celestial Emissary
>>324439985
>>324440479
I farted from laughter
>>324440474
>For example they love trying to balance a shitty and poorly designed boss by throwing in a bunch of normal enemies (too many examples to count)
Such as? I'm legitimately curious which bosses feature a lot of summons?
>>324440970
Gascoigne, because before BB I'd never parried once in any of the souls, and none of those enemies really chased you down like he did in his second form. It was a brutal fight for that early in the game.
>>324440771
Freya isn't hard, it' just tedious to have to run around the boss to get at the weakspot, AND, if you have a torch out, the little spiders hang back, there, anti frustration measure, quit bitching.
>>324441161
Yeah, I agree, Gascgoine was damn near impossible when I first played BB (this coming from a "Souls veteran" who had beaten the previous 3 games) for the same reason. I always played Souls with a shield and took it slow. I think Gascgoine is the most brutal casual filter in all the Souls games (second maybe to the Capra Demon).
>>324441049
im not the baiting guy but there's a couple of examples:
Ellana
Skeleton king
looking glass knight
royal rats guard
>>324438979
The only reason this guy is hard is because the hitboxes are absolute shit on half of his attacks. That and you having half health.
>>324441319
I would definitely put him on the same tier as Capra Demon. A fast enemy in a steady poke game is going to throw a huge wrench into most people's game. I hate that I had to summon to beat him the first time, but I'll be damned if I had any real trouble for the rest of the game(until I hit the chalice dungeons).
>>324440970
Orphan of Kos is pretty much the only boss that has killed me more than 5 times.
Still haven't beat him but I'm running a shitty build so will probably just say fuck it and stomp his shit with a real build soon.
>>324441530
I worded that wrong. I meant "the second one being the Capra Demon." Gascgoine is definitely much tougher (IMO).
>>324441481
Is that a lot, though, friend? That's probably like 5% of all the bosses, maybe even less.
>>324440970
Gherman
Ebrietas
Amelia
>>324441621
That's probably right, once you dealt with Capra's dogs he was pretty well dealt with himself.
>>324441561
Did you do the defiled chalice dungeons yet?
>>324441049
>Such as? I'm legitimately curious which bosses feature a lot of summons?
Do I really have to list them all?
In Bloodborne alone you have
>hordes
celestial emissary, rom
>clones
shadows, witch, living failiures
This is also ignoring chalice dungeon bosses like the watchers.
But the problems with the designs are not limited to the copypaste either, many of them are just simply poorly designed.
I mean how many boss fights in Bloodborne alone can compare to Gascoigne? Not only because of the fight itself, but the lore and buildup surrounding it. I mean you even had an item tie into all of this with the music box which had a practical use in the fight.
Now compare that fight to Celestial Emissary, which is just that mass rat boss copypasted from dark souls.
>>324441561
Orphan is pretty tough. Phase one you can take it slow, and always dodge to your RIGHT (his left). P2 is hail Mary time, you really need to keep dodging backward to avoid the blood (?) burst grenade things and just stick close to him otherwise. You'll know he's gonna throw them when he leaps over you into the air. You can parry him in both phases, but it's not recommended unless you're really good.
>>324441635
as i said you're not arguing with me, though i found almost all of those fights obnoxious
>>324441763
Also to add, when he does his scream in P2 it means he's doing that ground lightning AOE, and you can get a few good hits in there because it takes him a few seconds to summon that shit. It ALWAYS comes from the body of Kos on the beach, so if you're fighting near the water or right by the door you came through then you can outrange it.
>>324441826
I liked all the fights except the shitty defiled dog and amydgala, different strokes for different folks, I guess.
>>324441759
"poorly designed" what do you mean with this? That is like your opinion and I respect that. My opinion though is that a lot of bosses had huge sweeps and 1 hit ko attacks, that doesn't necessarily make it a bad design though, just a choice I don't like.
>>324442142
>"poorly designed" what do you mean with this?
I'm not gonna go into deep detail of every single boss I found to be poorly designed.
I mean do I REALLY have to go into detail as to why bosses like Covetous demon are poorly designed?

You should try explaining your words to stir discussion, not just give a vague idea of what you think is right or wrong.
That boss is ugly as shit, though, but some people like it.
>>324442773
>overleveled
You're really overestimating the value of stats in these games, you can be at 99 and still die like a bitch. Conversely, you can win the game without levelling anything.
>>324438326
To be fair, once you reach the lower Pthumeru dungeon every hit does almost half health depending on the enemy.
Then again I'm only mid game around lv 60 with 25 vit.
>>324442773
I was level 59 when I stomped rom with a +6 Flamesprayet, try again.

>You should try explaining your words to stir discussion
I honestly don't care since I'm going to bed in 10 minutes and it's a pointless waste of effort anyway. Especially when someone apparentely thinks that Covetous demon (and tons of other souls bosses) is a great boss in terms of game design.
>>324440970
I feel fucked up because I never had any trouble with Rom, Gascgoine, The One Reborn, Amelia, or BSB.
But I completely got my shit pushed in by Logarius, Ludwig, Laurence, and Gherman.
Kos is just seems really difficult for almost everyone so yeah.
I think the most deaths I've had so far ironically is...the fucking Chikage hunter. blargh. Not even a real boss. Shameful.
>>324440970
>tfw got extremely lucky with Orphan's AI on his 2nd form and beat him second try with no blood vials left and one hit from death
>>324443118
Ok, good night, man.
>>324443005
Capra raped my ass hard the first time I fought against him, mostly because of the dogs and the camera, but I think almost all bosses near the walls have shitty camera. I don't know how they can fix that, though.
>>324440970
>The One Reborn
Can someone explain what part of this boss is supposed to be difficult? I know it's fairly low on your list, but I've seen people who are legitimately stuck on it. Are they not killing the witches or something?
>>324433475
The monster design in this game makes my skin crawl. Reminds me of that "trypophobia" shit

I don't get this fear.
>>324440970
I think I'm one of the few people that never had trouble with Ludwig and Gascgoine. I killed both my first try.
Lady Maria kicked my ass. I used over 400 blood vials across dozens of attempts.
>>324443559
it doesn't really work with shitty photoshops
>>324443424
it's kinda silly since they were so generic but the huge spider in the first room when you enter mergo's loft was the scariest part of the entire game for me
fucking phobias man
>>324438979
I just beat this boss by projectile spam and summoning. I could realiably pull this off again and I am pretty sure everybody can do it.
>50 arcane
>Accursed Brew
>Blacksky eye
Even easier if you summon the Queen Killer. Spam accursed brew until out of bullets, finish with blacksky eye. Literally errorproof.
>>324442142
I'd also argue that yes, some of them were pretty badly designed. Let's take elana as an example and let's compare it to Ornstein&Smoug.
Elana is essentialy Elana+1/2 Veladtad/s so i feel like the comparison is pretty fair.
Orn&Smo design is so good because individually they're significantly weaker than a single boss, thus letting you manage to fight two of them at the time; moreover when you do kill the first one the game recalibrates the difficulty by making the remaining more powerful, giving you again a balanced 1vs1 fight.
Elana is a mess: on her own she's like 1/2 of a regular boss and based purely on luck you could fight just skeletons, which are annoying but harmless; pigs, which are harmless, and veldstad. Now let's talk veldstad. Reduced hp or not velstad remains a full 1vs1 balanced boss, and this results in you having to dodge ten minutes before each opening to hit him or Elana without getting raped by the other... which would be fine, couldn't she summon more and more guys over time. This makes the bossfight a speedrun to kill velstadt fast enough, while making it such that the opportunity for hitting the boss are very little and far between
>>324443450

That's probably it. I directly assumed it was impossible to get to them. Didn't play Demon's Souls so I didn't get the reference either. I killed the monstrosity first try anyway but made it a lot harder. I felt kinda silly on NG+.

I hate fights where you have to wait a lot before actually hitting the boss, that may be one of the reasons I hate bloodborne's giant bosses since their attacks have such a great range.

Not him, but Shadows are like the reverse of a lot of the chalice bosses, where you fight their weaker versions in an area and the boss version later with a few added moves.

>kill every DLC boss on the first try

>>324444316
I seem to be one of the few people that struggled with Lady Maria. I don't know why. I was using reiterpallasch. Maybe that was a bad weapon choice.
>>324444604
whirlgig saw is fun but also OP if used on any beast enemy, recommended if you have a hateboner for laurence
>>324444604
That sword is a bow in its tricked farm and basically lets you completely shit on every boss in the game from a distance.
Amygdalan Arm is pretty cool. It's normally a club but when you trick it it's like a whip thing and the arm has a mind of its own and does extra slashes after your hits.
For Str there's also the Whirlgig/Pizza Cutter which is both fun as fuck to use and ridiculously overpowered.
>>324444693
I got that one already, didn't like the moveset nor the weapon design. I thought it was too slow.
>>324441561
Orphan of Kos killed me for 5 hours on ng+. Fucking hell the attacks came out so fast and parrying most of them was so fucking hard and that second form was basically Bloodborne flipping the table.
It's the only boss where I didn't feel like it was unfair that I was dying so much, that I literally wasn't good enough to beat him.
>>324437879
>It's a chancy fight at times.
i have probably reacted to off screen spider jumps a dozen times or so and been hit by it two or three times, its literally the only thing they can from offscreen so its pretty easy to keep in mind
>>324443559
It's not a fear. Morons confuse disgust/revulsion with fear/phobia.
>>324444439
Yes, I would assume you played through the DLC at a very low level. Very impressive.
But using a weapon after having access to late-game upgrade materials on a boss where you should have, at best, a +3 weapon and saying "this boss is a bitch" is kinda dumb.
>>324444604
Beastcutter is a str version of the cane with range, Whirligig saw is a super stronk pizza cutter/mace, Bloodletter is a fucked out mace with an aoe that frenzies yourself, and the Amygdalan Arm is a hammer that lets you poke fuckers with a big hand.
So what the hell is the connection between the thing in Ebriates' room and Rom?
>>324444604
The Strength weapons in the DLC are pretty much just the Whirlgig Saw, Amygdalan Arm, and the Bloodletter as far as I remember. Both Whirlgig and Amy's Arm are pretty ridiculous. Whirlgig shreds absolutely everything and Amy's Arm has insane stagger in its club form and can knock even most bosses down to the ground with the charged R2 of the tricked version

Shit's frustrating. Should I just stick to blunderbuss or pistol?
>>324445127

>>324444983
It goes so fucking apeshit in its second phase, he's practically unreadable. He can travel through half the area in a mere second and lightning attack is seriously unpredictable, even landed on me once.
Still a excellent boss though.
>>324437879
It's relatively easy to herd them to one side of Rom and create an opportunity for you to get some hits in
It's way safer to just kill them one at a time though, I don't see how people have trouble with Rom unless they're specifically trying to just kill him as fast as possible while hoping they don't get hit by the spiders
>>324443205
Not weird at all. You've generally had more trouble with the harder bosses. People just complain about casual filters a lot more.
And bloody crow shits out damage.

>>324437086
Yeah but at least Nightmare of Mensis is a neat area and Mergo's Wet Nurse is a fun fight
It's way better than the drop off after getting the Lordvessel

Anon, HOW DO YOU THINK I GOT THE FUCKING WEAPON?
You undestand how I got it but you don't understand why you sound like a retard.
If I got an endgame weapon at a low level, then I had to get to the fucking weapon at a low level.
And if I had to get to the fucking weapon at a low level, guess who I had to fight at a low level.
FUCKING GASCOIGNE YOU LITTLE SHIT.
Just because I posted a video of me wearing endgame gear doesn't negate my claim that he's a bitch considering I had to go through him to get to the fucking weapon, are you seriously this retarded that you cannot comprehend this?
You can also get to +6 before fighting gascoigne, but I wouldn't expect someone that's never played the game to know this.
>in b4 I played the game.
If you really had, it wouldn't have been difficult to grasp the concept of having the go through gascoigne to get to the weapon you're complaining me using against him.
The spiders don't one shot you
>>324445637
>the drop off after getting the Lordvessel
I can't understand why people say DaS gets worse in the second half. Lost Izalith is somewhat undeveloped, yeah, but New Londo and TotG are great.
>>324443035
m-muh dark souls 2 is perfect
>>324445735
Not the OP, but they have a certain dive attack that deals massive damage. It's pretty telegraphed, but it can kill you if you're distracted.
>>324433475
Design and fight wise the bed of Chaos of BB/
>>324442905
It gets even worse once you do the Cursed and Defiled dungeon because your max health is halved and all magic/elemental damage simply one shots you.
>>324433475
I really don't know why people went for the spiders. They take like no damage and there's obviously way too many to even motivate you to take them out.
The spiders even move in a certain way that looks like they're defending Rom, rather than actively chasing and attacking you
>getting one shot by a spider
Do you not put points into vit? Also their hard hitting attack is pretty easy to avoid
>>324438097
Not enough people buffed Arcane.
>>324437142
I like hard games that I can exploit the gameplay to make them easier.

Boomhammer is fun if your definition of fun is hitting people where your hammer is no where at.

That doesn't look like his NG+ HP; it looks about the amount of HP he would have on NG with summoned help.
I've never tried it before, but can you not use your small resonant bell in areas where you've already killed the boss? The other guy in that webm is the summoner so he could have gotten the bowblade, gone back to Gascoigne's boss area, then gotten summoned and beat the boss with late-game stuff.
>>324433475
This guy wasn't really *that* difficult.
The version in the Chalice dungeon, however, was a total bastard.
So, I guess what we've all learned today, is that a bad Rom is one that has a lot of bugs in it?
What's the strategy for this fucker? He is currently raping my shit.
>>324433475
how anyone had trouble with this fucker is beyond me, unless you're talking about the chalice dungeon in which the little spiders did more damage to me than rom himself and was in a smaller space
>>324445858
TotG is a mess of an area. Duke's Archives is good, but then you have to deal with the mess of the Crystal Cave.
>>324446261

>>324440970
Laurence is the only one that I got real mad at. His attacks are just unfairin my opinion. I spent longer fighting other bosses like Kos, Ludwig, and BSB, but I ended up liking their fights. I'd like to fight them again, but not Laurence
>>324446261
When he does that buff mid-fight that lets him deflect bullets, it's a free backstab; just go behind him and do a charge attack as soon as he starts it up. Not only is it good damage, but it stops him from getting the buff.
>>324446261
I found back stabs worked well.
The final boss of Dark Souls 3 should be the animated ash and embers of every Chosen Undead that linked the fire.
>>324445858
>I can't understand why people say DaS gets worse in the second half.
A lot of it is backtracking, story-wise it feels convoluted and tacked on. going through shit you've been through a dozen times for a little extra area at the end just to go through the piss fog.
Also the yellow fog gate bosses are all boring or annoying, fourspics are just a tedious dps race. Izalith is literally RNG death drops, Nito is just a DPS race to see if you can wack him off before the zerg shows up. And the only way seath can even be considered a challenge of any kind is if you decide to diddle his bumhole for glass canon sword. and even that is trivialized if you have some bukkake magic.
>>324446261
Get gud
Otherwise, you might want to just put him off and come back later if you went to Cainhurst early.
As for the actual fight, either get gud and learn to dodge *into* attacks so you are right next to the guy as he recovers.
Alternatively just stay a moderate distance away from him to bait him into his dash/flying attacks that leave him vulnerable.
Hey guys, I'm having difficulty with Amygdala in the Chalice Dungeons and was curious how you may have beaten it.
>>324446261
Wear equipment with high blood defense.
Stay away from the edges of the roof.
Learn to recognize his melee attacks in order to parry them.
When you're fighting him close-ranged, he has a tendency to use that quick blood skull blast. To circumvent this, dodge to the side if he's facing you in close range.
He has an attack that causes blood swords from the sky to attack you. To stop this, attack the sword that he plants in the ground.

thank you big scary cannon man
>>324446775
you can cheese Amy hard if you want to
go behind her to force her to jump -> she will land directly ontop of you with you being in a safe spot if you stand perfectly still as soon as she disappears -> charge an attack with long reach like the tricked axe r2 -> when she comes back down her head will be close to you so you just aim the already charged r2 at the head -> immediately roll through her legs behind her -> repeat
its ridiculously easy that way, you'd have to try to get hit

Learn to dodge the meteors and he's literally the easiest boss in the game.
There's a fail-proof roll pattern for the meteors but I forgot what it is.

Gee, you're awfully angry anon!
Read;
>>324446212
You were summoned for that fight. I assumed that you;
-Killed Gascoigne
-Continued through the game at a low level, getting the Bowblade
-Returned to the Gascoigne boss vicinity, either in your game or in NG+
-Get summoned to fight Gascoigne in the game of someone in NG, and wipe the floor with him with your high-damage weapons
I don't get what you're confused about, or why you're so worked up about it? You were obviously fighting a NG Gascoigne.
I'M A ROBIN LADY MARIA!

The final boss should be Oscar, but he's all juiced up, and he has six arms, with which he wields Ornstein's Spear, Smough's Hammer, Artorias's sword, the Moonlight Greatsword and a bunch of other weapons, and he can shoot soul spears out of his mouth.
>>324447792

The only one that I honestly struggled on enough to leave an impression was Amelia.
Don't get me wrong, most of the bosses were fun, but Amelia was the only one that ever felt like bashing my head against a wall.

Bloodtinge and Arcane. It's fine to level them up if you find a weapon you want to try out, it isn't a big deal

Do you want to discuss shit or are you just gonna meme spout?
How can you not understand claiming gascoigne is not a challenge and using a weapon that you get after him are not mutually exclusive.
Your "argument", your only argument. is that I can't claim he's a bitch because I'm using an endgame weapon on him.
But you've clearly never played the game, weapon is affected by stats, not by how far in the story you find it, the fact I'm wearing endgame gear on a level 15 character should be enough to show I clearly have a right to claim he's a bitch, considering I beat him, blood starved, witches, and Amelia, and Simon at level 10 before even upgrading anything or leveling up to bow's base requirements.
But somehow you're getting so assblasted by the fact I'm using the bow and calling gascoigne a bitch that you can't comprehend this, you're literally reducing your argument to the fact that I'm mad at you.
Its not mad, anon, its annoyed, and why wouldn't I be annoyed with you? I literally feel like I'm arguing with a retarded child
I also don't understand why you're dirrecting me to a reply you made to someone else, I know how resonant bells work, and your explanation, none of it, makes literally any difference.
The question is, why are you getting so defensive over the fact someone claims gascoigne is easy? Did you seriously die to him that many times that you can't shut the fuck up once someone calls him easy?
>>324448728
Every weapon scales with Arcane actually. But I meant to imply that weapons have stat requirements before you can hold them and sometimes you find something you're curious about and want to try out

Laurence's last phase is just a cunt. It seems so easy so you let your guard down but then you get stuck in one of his attacks and are dead. He's honestly one of the hardest bosses for me, even after killing him a whole bunch of times I still die occasionally when I can do pretty much everything else with no problem at all
>>324449279
Yeah I really hate his last form. Especially his crawling attack that hits 7 times with little hope of rolling out of if you get knocked down. I try to bait it out when I have a lot of room to run, but sometimes he just never does it until I'm cornered.
I figured out that it's best to stay on his side while he hopelessly crawls -around- you instead of running directly away from it. The most you'll have to worry about then is walking into is lava, which is minimal damage
