>>333886380
what's wrong with exploiting the game?
honestly the boss isnt that hard, its the run thats killing your mood. the run is the fucking worst and longest out of any souls game so far. who thought it would be a good idea to sit through two loading screens and run for 3mins straight?
>>333886380
don't kill one until the other cat only has a fraction of health left
then kill it before it goes super saiyan

>>333887383
this only works in ng and ng+, any higher and they either die too fast or you aggro too many horses.
having to summon to make the run even bearable is trash design regardless.
Great community you got here, Soulsfags.
>burning yourself with DaS2 when 3 is around the corner
Just uninstall the game.
>>333886380
I beat it with a greatsword OP. I had the two NPC summons but they got nuked early on into the battle.
Just keep at it and stop getting discouraged. Roll into their attacks and keep them at a medium distance.
>>333887753
>having to summon to make the run even bearable is trash design regardless.
because you say so? the areas were designed with summoning in mind
summoning is a mechanic of every Souls game
>>333887790

that's sounds like a lie
they nearly have as much health as the boss, and they constantly heals themselves (and you)

Use that one item that double your damage
>>333888063
because good graphics take effort
Honestly this boss is a good time to use those brightbugs you've been storing up
Doing the most damage possible to the first cat is super important, use a weapon that does a lot of damage quick, battleaxe or ice rapier work well.
Play cautious once there's two on the screen then exploit the openings and mash attacks, use elizabeth mushrooms do negate any damage you might take
Summon, the fight(and area before it) were designed to be done in co-op.

not really, these games are built for single player. the inclusion of a co-op centric zone was a strange decision.
i still would like your reasoning for defending the two loading screens and 3min run to the boss regardless if you summon or not.

Most games have a shitty community. But yeah, this community is pretty shitty.

I disagree, and so does everybody who worked on DeS, DaS, DS2, DS3 and BB
>i still would like your reasoning for defending the two loading screens and 3min run to the boss regardless if you summon or not.
It adds tension to the bossfight. You made it all the way there and its going to be a pain in the ass to make it back, so you better not lose!
Do you want the game to be like Super Meat Boy? Instantly transporting you back to the bossdoor every time you die?
>>333887383
why wouldn't you just keep them around for the boss?
>>333888734
self-imposed challenge, mostly
>>333888713
>Do you want the game to be like Super Meat Boy? Instantly transporting you back to the bossdoor every time you die?
This is what millennial gamers want.
They want you to instantly respawn at the boss door, and not recover any of the HP they lost in the fight, so they can just bang their head against the brick wall until it eventually falls over.
>>333886380
Not defending the choice, the this is a co-op boss OP, same with the blue smelter demon, and the gank squad. They were intended to be co-op, and people who don't have the DLC can even co-op for those bosses.
>>333886380
All the DLC is pretty much avoidable and not worth the frustration.
>>333889010
Millenials want to overcome adversity through struggle? The fuck are you on, you can't even keep your memes straight
>>333889064
how the hell was Cool Blue Smelter designed for co-op? There's only one of him

the DLC areas were much more fun than anything in vanilla DS2

more like your illusion of a witty comeback
>>333886380
Get the first one as close to half as possible without triggering the second one, wait until it does it's retarded magic where is spawns those spears over it's head, then run behind it and do as much damage as possible before the second one spawns.
>>333886380
That shit was easy. Beat it on my 4th try. The second one doesn't even attack until the first one's almost dead. All their attacks can be dodged via i-frames.
Getting to the boss is the real pain in the ass, the bosses not so much.
>>333889534
The mobs of enemies can be a little tiresome, but the level design in the DLC was stellar. It really reminded me of DeS.
And honestly, they're endgame areas. If the enemies were pushovers then it wouldn't be very satisfying. Throwing multiple enemies at you and forcing you to multitask and use the environment against them isn't such a horrible thing.
>>333889534
How about those ice porcupines?

This is what I did like about the DLC. A lot of encounters seem bullshit but almost every encounter in every DLC has a way to use the environment to your advantage.
>>333889869
This is an exception. Fuck these little retarded pricks.
>>333889968
No, but you clearly are if you don't understand the difference.
>>333889534

Nice fucking one reddit, really great community you have here.
At least Bloodborne community isn't this cancerous.
I was watching MANvsGAME stream the other day, he's doing an all bosses SL1 run. Someone on the chat asked him if he usually use drugs while playing games for a long time, he almost immediatelly shut down his stream.
>>333890286
That would be fine is games were designed with a flat or gradually sloping difficulty level
But because that is boring shit, they aren't.
So to avoid the pain of playing through really tedious, easy levels, you're allowed to start farther in the game.
Only someone who enjoys the feeling of bashing their head against the wall would feel the marathon of the shitty early game is worth it.

He is but he doesn't talk about it out of shame, he's also been in severe depression ever since his wife left him. One of these days he'll end up killing himself.
probably the worst designed boss in the entire series.
almost zero visibility for most of the run to it.

She cheated on him because he was using meth, she also owns half of the MANvsGAME brand, so they're basically in court battle now.

They will be pretty much dead by the time they get to the boss, but will still give the boss an hp boost.

You do realize that banging your head against a wall until it falls over is how Dark Souls is done, right? Does it really matter whether you have to trudge through boring shit that you already passed? Imagine if every time you died in Super Meat Boy, you had to restart the chapter. Is that what you want?

She left him for using drugs, I mean she had a reason but was bitchy about it, she also took his cat and since she owns half the MANvsGAME brand is also demanding half the income he gets for the stream. He's basically the new Brendan Fraser.
>>333891478
>Imagine if every time you died in Super Meat Boy, you had to restart the chapter. Is that what you want?
I don't play shitty casual games like Super Meat Boy, but to answer your question, yes.
If you have failed, then you should have to restart everything.
>>333888063
that's dark souls 2 anon.
>>333886380
I am also doing a DS2 playthrough, and just finished this boss today.
Get the 3 NPC summons. This includes Vengarl, which means finishing his side quest in Shaded woods.
Next, look at the sun. Turn to the left, such that the sun is on your right and your shadow is straight out to your left, if not slightly behind you. This ensures you are going the correct direction. Have a shield with 100% physical resist and good stamina consumption equipped.
Now walk to the west, holding your shield out when the blizzard is up. When a horse charges you, counter-hit immediately and stay near him to avoid his stupid flying bullshit. Let Vengarl rip it to shreds while the other two companions fuck each other.
Repeat this all the way to the Pharros water pool, take a breather, refill health, and continue to the boss.
As others have stated getting both bosses down to ~10% before killing one is ideal. If you can't kill the other before he bloodlusts, stay the fuck back and wait for the buff to die off.
Done.
>>333892059
>If you have failed, then you should have to restart everything.
That's arbitrary. If you have proven that you can overcome an obstacle, what is the value of repeating it (other than artificially padding out the game's length, or sucking up quarters at the arcade)
>>333892217
you haven't overcome anything though, or you wouldn't have died

Honestly, the way I did it was to always wear the blessed King's Crown so I wouldn't have to worry about hollowing. Then I respecced as a a sorcerer/pyromancy and just try to outnuke them. If you're lucky, you can get one of them to 25 percent health before the other one steps in, then it's just a matter of landing a few more blows and it's one on one, which makes it really easy.
>>333892059
Okay, the next time you play a Souls like game and you die, your character is deleted.
Restart everything right?Yes, I know, the Witcher already did this

Okay, the next game you play as an immortal, and you literally cannot die. Even when you lose all your HP you just explode and stand back up and keep fighting the boss, also the explosion hurts the boss. If you're trash at the game, you can literally throw yourself at the boss until it dies.
How exactly is this fun when you face no challenge and learn nothing?

Two on one and it's at the end of a 1 mile run of other bullshit enemies, worst part of the whole game plus DLC, worse than Izalith.
>>333894604

>>333900027
you're a pathetic piece of shit
>>333886380
>>333892165
>Get the 3 NPC summons.
Error number one.
DO NOT summon for this area.
First of all, summoning buffs enemy defense and poise and that includes bosses too. If you go solo, you can pancake the horses with a single R2 attack with a great club if you have the stone ring on. Chain pancaking makes dealing with the horses painless.
Second, the time when the second tiger comes down depends on how many people you have summoned. If you're soloing them, it doesn't come until the first one is on its last legs. But if you have lots of summons with you, it comes down almost immediately.
>getting both bosses down to ~10% before killing one is ideal
If you have no problems dodging both at the same time, sure. But I prefer to DPS down the first one ASAP. Because 1v1 the kittens are one of the easiest bosses in the entire series. They only have like three attacks with very obvious tells.
Also, another thing, if you make a beeline for the ring of the living from the last building, there's a good chance to avoid the horses on the last stretch altogether. There's an area free of the blizzard around the edge of the pit.
But If you stray to the left, two or more horses can spawn at once.
>>333886380
>Using greatsword btw
don't
are you str? use the blacksmith hammer, upgrade it to +5
heavy weapons are cool and fun but they're useless against any boss that poses any threat, use quick weapons, get a hit in, dodge dodge dodge, get a hit in, repeat
you can't count on staggers against bosses, this makes heavy weapons a joke
Recklessly and relentlessly attack the first one before the second one comes in. Heal up when it does. Finish the first one that's around 1/5th life. Easy peasy.
>>333900961
You dexfags are hopeless.
I just killed this boss with FUGS on NG+ yesterday no problem
>dodge dodge dodge, get a hit in, repeat
Exactly. If you're against aggressive bosses and can only get one hit in, heavy weapons would do more than fast ones, even if the latter have higher dps in theory.
>>333888713
>so does everybody who worked on DeS, DaS, DS2, DS3 and BB
Thats why every boss in every game is pathetically easy in co-op vs solo right?
>It adds tension to the bossfight.
I actually enjoy many of the runs back to bosses, but the standouts are terrible. Lost Izalith without hidden bonfire, Frigid Outskirts, Iron Passage.
The run to Lud&Zallen is boring and tedious. You have a rather neat mechanic that could have been applied to the boss but was squandered to just being a vision obstruction, and a mob thats quite strong unless you use heavy STR weapons to stagger them to death. Not to mention on the higher NG cycles if you cant kill the horses fast enough it becomes a suicide run to the boss everytime.
Most of the problem could have been alleviated with a secret bonfire in a cave or something.
>Do you want the game to be like Super Meat Boy?
No, i would like decent runs back to the bosses, you seem to not care about the quality of the run back, which is literally all im saying here.
>>333900961
Nigga, i defeated them with gs.
I can't play this game with any other type of weapon, i love to hit hard and multiple enemies at a time.

also, dexfag? really? I just recommended the blacksmith hammer, probably the best str weapon against bosses, and I myself use it for bosses and I use greatswords against common enemies
>>333902914
>could it be that I'm just bad at dodging?

>>333903092
I don't need to make fun of you, anyone who played any Souls game will be able to see how stupid you are for defending using weavy weapons against most bosses
Everyone said they were hard, and though have to agree I must also say that I beat them on my first try, it just took a while to actually get to the fight
I know your pain OP. My Jackie Chan run was stopped dead by 2katz. Never trying again.
>>333903573
Yeah, everyone will be able to see how stupid I am for being able to hit bosses and dodge without getting hit using heavy weapons, and you cannot.

You can just sprint counter clockwise to dodge the homing soulmass.
>>333886380
I just solo'd them earlier today. They're not tough if you know the timing on the spinning swing and the lunge. Just sprint to dodge the magic, and backstep to dodge the AOE.
Also helped a few people kill them. Easiest either alone or with three summons, just don't lose trakc of the second cat.
Seriously, they have dick-all for health if you fight them solo, and with four it's straight up easy.
>>333887239
the super saiyan doesn't last though, and one cat is way easier then two.
even super saiyan cat is half the difficulty of aava
>>333904958
>half the difficulty of aava
They're literally the same boss, copied and pasted. How's it any less difficult? At least it has the buff, while Aava does not.
>>333904673
The homing soulmass really isn't the problem, anon. But thanks for the unsolicited advice about a game I dropped a long time ago, I guess.
>>333886380
They are extremely vulnerable when summoning their homing soulmass. If you stand under their front left leg you can hit them while all the missiles will miss.
Also rolling into them when they do the swipe pounce will put you under them so you can attack their back legs without getting punished.
As with every multi-enemy boss you never want to be greedy with your attacks and run yourself out of stamina. You need to have the roll ready at a moment's notice. Good luck.
>>333886380
Kill the first tiger. Chug if you took Damage. Never let tiger 2 out of your range. Keep wailing on him before during and after super saiyan. If done properly you will only need like 2 swings to kill him after he goes full rape mode. If not you're fucked and you have to try again.
>>333905203
Not him, but the fury mode only makes him hit harder and take less damage, he has the same attacks and same speed, so you just need to keep doing the same.
I actually killed him while he enters fury mode, you get like a good 5 seconds of hits more or less.
>>333890286
You can't run out of continues in NG1 you assmouth
>>333890286

>cant see two inches in front of your face, mostly to hide the fact that the area is an otherwise bland empty shit pile
>infinite spawning enemies.
>3 minute walk
>boring boss
I know that they wanted to make the optional areas in the DLC much harder and more co-op focused on design, but all three of the co-op areas were so shitty.
>The boss are three random hallows with fifty trillion hp to make up for their bad AI
>The boss is just a boss from the base game, but now hes blue
>the boss is a boss from this DLC, but now there are two!
They could have really done something cool with the co-op areas, but instead we got afterthought poorly designed rehash shit.
