Seriously fuck this boss.
Dude has way too much going on at once.
Feels like it should've been in bloodborne or some shit
I beat him on my sixth try, but it was a fucking miserable experience. There are bosses in the Souls games that took me over a dozen attempts to beat, but Aldrich pissed me off far more than they did. The worst part is that when I did win, it felt more like I had lucked out because he had taken it easy on the teleport+bullet hell spam and didn't try using the instant-death arrows as much as before.
Every other playthrough I do of this game from now on, I'm saving this asshole for last.
>>334941303
You are me.
Like goddammit it took me more time to beat Pontiff and the Watchers. That fucking arrowstorm is bullshit! I came really close twice and finally beat him like an hour later. All of those times he didn't spam his arrows as much.
The worst part is that there are two variations. The one that follows you and then the one that just has a big area. I dunno if there's a single way to tell them apart.
Fucking faggot boss goddamn.
The best strategy (that I found) is to get close to him and once he does a melee strike he'll be vulnerable. In his second phase your survival is based solely on how you dodge that shitty fucking arrow rain, or if RNG is merciful and he doesn't do it. I beat him that way eventually.
didnt have any problem with any boss in this game t b h
>>334941725
>I dunno if there's a single way to tell them apart
The one that follows you only happens in the 2nd form
>>334940732
You just wait until you get to the second to last boss anon.
>>334941725
I think he only uses the AoE version in his first phase, and only the chaser version in his second phase. Could just have been a coincidence, though.
>>334940732
Attack tail and it can't fight back
>>334940732
that fucking stunlock arrow attack
LITERALLY 30 fucking tries HOLY FUCK FUCK THAT BITCH. i was planning in playing after work for maybe one hour and instead i stayed up until 4am trying to brst that cunt. Those fucking arrow spams are bullshit.
Casuals for fuck sake. Easy as fuck, killed it on my 3rd try on my first playthrough and on my 1st try on NG+. Git Gud.
>>334940732

>>334941725
How do you avoid getting hit by his arrows? I try running/rolling but it lasts way too long. My stamina goes out before its done and I get fucked.
Just beat this nigga and I also beat dancer earlier. Where do I go from there?
>>334940732
Just charge him relentlessly, sprint around a pillar when he uses arrows, and roll away from magic attacks.
Its easy to run from the bonfire straight to him so just go for quantity over quality, spam him until you get lucky. This boss really is just a crapshoot considering how sometimes hell combo with arrows and other attacks so you cant escape and die instantly.
A dude that ate a faggot and became a blob-monster with the face of said faggot...is it a he or a she?
>>334942828
You're almost fast enough to just sidestep away from the arrows while locked on. Just roll once, keep walking while your stamina recharges, then roll again. It's not very fast, but it lasts way longer than it should- long enough for the stupid fuccboi to start shooting purple shit at you.
>>334942828
I mostly just barely got away from them myself. just run and do tight turns. I think the arrow rain isn't as agile as you.
>>334942474

Aldrich and the last boss are just the worst.
They can one shot you from full hp, if you miss a roll the gg your dead.
The last boss in second form has some serious bullshit, the sword combo that tracks you and juggles you till you die.
Fuck I'm salty.

Pyromancy friend
Once you hear the audio of him coming up after teleporting spint in that direction and bash the shit out of his tail. It will interrupt whatever spell he's casting and force him to use a melee attack. Also use the Farron or Artorias swords because those do crazy damage to him.
>>334944016
Use the Storm Lord you looted from the corpse near the throne, charge L2 until the sound changes and then R2 or R1 to nuke him for 1/4th of his hp
>>334942017
I think there are two versions, it's the second one that can one shot you and has 6-mile radius people are having problems with
>>334944016
I've heard he's hideously weak to fire, so that's a good way to take him on. If you're stuck chasing him around and getting Deep Balled you're gonna have a bad time.
>>334940732
This is the only boss I summoned on in NG. In subsequent NG++ playthroughs, the victory was luck and the fact that he didn't spam arrow rain back to back in the final phases.
This is also the first area in the game that I started to call bullshit on. The silver knights that can L I T E R A L L Y switch the direction of their weapon and spin 360 degrees mid swing got me really fucking salty really fast.
10/10 game tho really

Beat him blindfolded at SL 1 while masturbating with my hands tied behind my back
Really the arrow rain is this bad for you guys? Just roll out of the way in his first form. Done it doesn't come back. Where it chases you in the second form, you should notice he normally does it right after he teleports, Dodge out if the way the first time and sprint around at sharp angles to avoid it until it ends. you shouldn't really be running out of stamina unless you're an idiot who put all his points into vigor and vit instead of your stamina.
I'm not sayin he is easy, but after a couple times of dyin to his arrow storm you should be able to figure that much out like I did. Good boss once you stop raging over this and realize it's not that much of a hindrance.
>>334945385
I was cheesed by his quick and non-stop dark soul spear and died once.
Faggot can't do shit once I get close to him.
>>334940732
Run up to him to force his easy as fuck to dodge melee attacks that leave him doing nothing for a stupidly long time and then slap dat ass until he runs away like the bitch he is.
>>334940732
Keep close as much as you can. Roll when he hits, keep your distance when he fades into the ground.
When you see him triggering that fucking arrow shower, sprint left or right, but try to come close to him at the same time, or else he'll throw that powerful fast blue magic ball.
In the second part don't change your approach, but try not to stand in his flames when you attack.
He's easy, but that fire arrow barrage made him harder than he should normally be.
>Normal enemies in Lothric castle do more damage than most bosses
How is this fair? I got 2 shot by my most of enemies in here. I take blade dancer and sulyvan any day than horde of those fuckers at lothric castle.
Ok loremasters and vaati. Explaint endings to me. What is the difference between hollow ending and darkness ending? And what is up with alt dark ending where he kill firekeeper. It means our protag is fag who unfit to link the flame or be lord of darkness and he cand do anything?

Took me two tries. When he does arrow rain don't full, run. Just hold down run button until it ends. It can't but you when you're running. The rest of his attacks are easy to dodge. If he tries meleeing you it's so slow and easy to dodge you can get in many hits before he recovers.
>>334940732
Stay close to him, if you manage to get close after he teleports he won't spam any arrows or magic bullshit and his melee attacks are pretty easy to dodge
>>334946806
>Explaint endings to me
The way I understood them is thatusurping the Fire makes humanity physically stay in their true form as hollows, but apparently not go insane. Or at least the ones who are hollow at the moment. One of the dark miracle items mentions that they bring salvation to hollows, but simultaneously doom all other living beings so I guess usurping the Fire has some sort of similar effect on the whole world / human race.
Ending the Fire just fucks the order of the world up,probably causes humanity to eventually go to mindless hollows, return to the world of archtrees before Gwyn linked the fire but there's the sliver of chance that something new might be born in the future. F.ex. Aldrich's covenant and boss soul descriptions mention him wishing an Age of Deep Waters, though it could be something else. Ending the Fire probably also saves the player character somehow, since both the description of the Firekeeper soul and after you give the Eyes of the Firekeeper away she mentions about the main character finding their own peace. Somehow. At least you get to be with 10/10 waifu.
I have no ideawhat is going with the evil version of the Dark ending where you kill the Firekeeper, or what the player character is even attempting there.
I didn't find him that difficult, then again I figured out pretty quick that in his second phase, you should immediately start sprinting as soon as he readies his bow for arrow rain.
What do you see in this
>>334948862
Aldrich buggering Gwyndolin and you buggering Aldrich.
I'm not trying to be a piece of shit here, but do people really have a hard time with this guy? Like I got my shit kicked in by Pontiff so many times. I even made one of those LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE threads unironically.
This guy? Took me 3 tries. Would have taken me 2 but I didn't realize his knife thing started homing on you after he embers on the second go. All you need to do is wait half a second where he disappeared then run to the opposite corner. He'll appear on you and won't be able to cast anything too dangerous. Try to beat up his tail and staying close to his body keeps you in range of some attacks. Also don't get hit by the life steal shit.
How do i avoid getting my health fucked by these?
>>334949218
by two-shotting them
How did he ate gwyndolin if we kill him in the first dark soul?
Please tell me no one actually thinks this boss is hard?
Rush the tail and sprint as soon as phase 2 arrow rain comes down. That's it.
I don't understand how people unironically think this is hard. His most powerful abilities are his ranged ones so just stay close. If you stand at the tail the fire aoe cannot reach you so all you need to do is dodge his 5 second telegraphed charge.
You're essentially invincible in this fight until he uses arrow rain in phase 2. I just ran in a direction until it stopped.
Reminds me of how much I hate that nameless King fuck, I can sit in his boss room and not get hit all day, but that's the infuriating part, I'm just sitting there waiting for him to land so I can peck him with an arrow since a melee attack on the dragon head is a low probability.
He's not the hardest buy god damn is he the most annoying since 90% of the fight is waiting for the dragon to land and praying it's head isn't up when you go for that swing

Because canonically the Chosen Undead never kills him.
Jesus christ, Twin Princes is the best boss in the souls games. Fun, challenging, dynamic but not too fast and really atmospheric. Also music is godtier. My only complaint is the zoom on the cutscene, it shows how retarded the textures are.
Also Nameless King, Abysswatchers and Champion Gundyr are awesome.
Is Lorian/Lothric the last boss before the Soul of Cinder?
>>334949218
The health drain only starts at the end of the animation where they light the lantern, and only in front of them. So just run behind them and kill them.
The big pile at the end of the level is where you'll have to suck it up. Jailers are weenies who get stunlocked to death though, so you should only be wasting a single estus flask on the lot of them. That and a couple throwing knives/arrows.
>>334940732
>Aldritch
>Hard
All of his attacks have huge wind ups and the homing orbs can be dodge by sprinting towards him.

I beat him first try on NG+ with a +10 heavy greataxe. He's not hard if you know what you're doing and stay close to him.
Here's a tip for staying close to him even when he teleports:When he disappears, he will automatically "choose" the farthest location to spawn away from you. You'll typically be fighting him in a corner. After he disappears, start running to the opposite corner. If you did it right, he'll appear in the corner and finish the wakeup animation as you reach him.
Beat Aldrich on the first try. Beat Sulyvahn around the 4th try.Abyss Watchers took tens of tries over two days.
I don't get it.
>>334949218
Their actual attacks are slow as fuck and the glare can't kill you so just run up and combo their ass, they have shit defense and HP.
The nameless king only took me 3 tries but champion gundyr took me ten.
I found the nameless king so easy but the champ hard. I don't know why
>>334950458
Aldirtch is super weak to fire, like most slime creatures in the games.
HOW IS ANYONE SUPPOSED TO BEAT THIS BOSS!?!!?!? THIS IS ACTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE!
How the heck do I deal with this mushy fagets second form? I can never seem to get close enough to actually land an attack before he's zipping or flying across the room to the other side again and if I do manage to reach him and attack it's too late and I'll just get hit by whatever he he already has begun doing.
>>334952278

>>334952278
Boss is easy. Just learn how to roll right
>>334949936I summoned for Nameless King to get through the first part for that reason. I really just wanted to do the second half myself but alas.
>>334952335
I accidentally cheesed him with Yhorm's shield and I kind of wish I hadn't.
Every boss was nothing but forgettable for me and beat within 3 tries max by myself.
This isn't supposed to be a "OH LOOK AT ME" but a more so "why is this shit"
I can understand why the bosses kill so many too, its not due to no skill, its due to shit AI.
For example, Ocierous, "or whatever, Mister Dragon begging for his Ocelot"
Once he enters phase 2 he begins to randomly spam attacks that are designed to just kill you whenever, however, by any means. A few bosses have these similar attacks, the first boss for example, just starts going ape shit and charging at you at high speeds. He telegraphs his more though, Dragonpants does not. He can be standing there and BOOM he runs then BOOM runs and glitches out on the slant of floor then BOOM teleports.
Lothric does this as well with the teleporting.
I think the Lord of Cinder is a pretty fair boss fight minus the one hit kill super sword sweep which even hit boxes behind him.
tl;dr this is a horrible Souls game but has pretty good music.
>>334952278
Anon you can actually roll into his attacks and suffer no damage, the only things to look out for is the charge up for his one hit sword sweep and thats about it.
>>334949936
>since a melee attack on the dragon head is a low probability.
What? The Dragon almost constantly keeps its head down at melee range whenever it's not flying. It's especially easy to land free hits when it's breathing fire. You can even target the head separately to make hitting it easier.
I don't know if you just happen to have a weapon that for some reason doesn't reach the head properly, but I had no problem with the first phase with my Butcher Knife.

Yes, he. This has nothing to do with your gender correctness horse shit bud because we're talking about Aldrich, not Gwyndolin.
Aldrich is referred to in the game as either a he or an it, Gwyndolin is literally being worn as a puppet to cast shit as Aldrich is perfectly capable of doing because he devoured Gwyndolin. Theres even screenshots where people got a peek under the Crown and Gwyndolin's eyes are glossed over and dead white.

Miracles are shit.
Use a partizan.
Sprint around the arena until he does his sword stab/slam. Hit him 2-3 times and roll out as he will tele. Rinse and repeat. Its helpful to use stam. Regen items since his magic will eat through it. Also run from his arrow storms, never dodge.
>>334958053
You da bae. I was honestly not trying to fight this boss for hours
>>334940732
HOW
>beat her on my first go earlier during NG+
Git gud, or just start using the butcher knife with a strength build for easy mode.
Is Black Knight Greatsword still king? I just got one to drop in the swamp.
>>334955732
Someone?
>>334958387
>her
>>334940732
Holy shit just run in circles and hit the tail 1-2 times with a big damage slow attack speed weapon.
This was one of the few bosses I killed in one try.
>>334958382
You have to take the weapon by his throne and use it's special attack
>find fire keeper eyes
>Excitedly run home to give to my girl
>she thanks me, then asks me to kill her
>whatever you want babe
>she dies, get the eyes back, no noticeble changes in the rest of the game
Am I not seeing something? You'd think I'd be able to with [spoilers]four eyes[/spoilers]
>>334958475
Well whatever, she looks like chick.
>>334958450
NG+ a lot
>>334958524
I did. Problem is, I did Siegward's questline. Siegward showed up and then died because I didn't know how to use the sword yet, now I'm fighting him alone but he has about twice the health.
fuck gimmick boss fights.
>>334958450
>Interrogation marks
>>334954110
>Needing more then 24 points in health
You disgust me.
>>334958569
She asks you to kill her IF you've changed your mind about the plan you two talked about.
>>334958752
>now I'm fighting him alone but he has about twice the health.
So the fight takes 10 hits now?
>>334958752
There is no fucking way you did siegs quest and still cant beat him.
Sieg can literally solo him.
>>334958985
Yes. not easy to charge it that many times without him oneshotting you.
>>334940732
everything is pretty easy to doge except the continuous arrow shots. with this attack you have to just keep running.
The only bosses that are remotely a challenge in DaS3 is dancer, soul of cinder, twin princes, and storm king.
Who else here was stupid enough to not use Stormruler and killed Yhorm the regular way instead? I knew it was an important weapon for the fight since DeS was the same, but I didn't realize to charge it fully and thought that you had to upgrade it first. When I saw it took Titanite Scales I said fuck it and killed him with Butcher's Knife.
You can actually perform a similar type of riposte-like grab attack on his face like you can do to Nameless King's Stormdrake or some other big enemies, if you manage to break Yhorm's balance by attacking his feet enough. The special attack actually does a decent amount of damage to him.
>>334952278
The super easy way for phase 2 is run away for him, wait for jump attack and hit him once or twice while he recovers his stance. I thought it was super easy
>>334952626
Lol. I always got 1st phase without wasting a single estus. I thought the dragon was just filler.
>>334959053
>Sieg can literally solo him.
he killed me twice while I was with sieg because I was trying to figure out how to use the gimmick sword. Now I'm stuck with no sieg and a boss with basically twice the health it should normally have.
>>334940732
I beat this guy on my first try, I'm legitimately confused with how you had trouble.
Run away from his arrow storm. Seriously, just run away, it's simple enough a monkey could do it. It's literally impossible for you to get hit by it unless you just stand there gawking like a moron.
Stand behind him and he basically can't fucking hit you. His sword drifts around at you slowly as fuck in wide arcs, you should see it coming from a mile away.
Just batter his tail.
Are you retarded?
I don't understand how there are so many people in this thread complaining about one of the easiest bosses in the game.
Next I'm gonna be hearing shit like
>Guys, I can't beat Vordt!
>he just keep charging at me and I can't recover!
Just roll, damn it.
That's all you need to do in this game, just fucking roll, every boss, roll.
Avoid arrows, roll, attack, attack, roll, avoid arrows, attack, attack, roll, etc.
My expirience with souls games
>somewhat difficult bossfight, first try
>easy as fuck boss with simple mechanics, a whole afternoon of attempts untill i get him in the attempt #27
But then again i think almost everyone fast rolls and gets the i-frame game on point, i just play fashion souls and roll heavy because you can't say no to that baller Berenike set or the Balder one so i get the fatty rolls
>>334940732
The fight is just roll roll roll roll roll
And get in like 2 hits and then its roll roll roll roll roll again
Only change is during the second phase you need to not roll from the arrows but run from them. Just run in as straight a direction as you can and then be ready to roll a few times near the end of the arrows because he'll usually try to shoot a beam at you if you get far enough away.
Whenever the arrows are cast in the second phase don't do anything but run from them, if you try to get hits on the boss or try to roll around the arrows you're going to take damage or die.
Artificial difficulty at its finest. You have to die several times before the difficulty is lowered and is arrows arnt spamed. Took me about 4-5. Tries
>>334960000
>>334940732
Beat him on my third try.
Got raped by the blue magic shit within seconds on my first try though.
Just need to stick close to him and try and get behind him, that way his magic projectiles won't follow you and he can't hit you with anything.now Pontiff on the other hand tore me a new asshole for over 20 times
>>334960000
i believe the word you're looking for is RNG. either way you should know to just spam dodge when the arrows come out, they don't one shot you unless you sit there and let them hit you.
I just fought Dancer. Holy shit that boss is amazing. It's like if Pontiff was fair. By far the best boss in the game so far. My heart is fucking racing.
Only complaint with her is I swear she waits to use that overhead smash until you dodge.Also her ass jiggles when you hit it
>>334950458
>>334951996
>>334955030
Almost everything is weak to fire and resistant to magic.
I played an Int build and the first boss I could actually use magic to kill was the fucking dancer. Also requires super high int to do any decent spell damage.
>>334946806
The normal snuffing the flame ending is the exact same thing as the Dark Lord ending of DaS save for the serpents sucking your dick. The fire keeper snuffs out the flame and you enter the age of dark with the returned implication from DaS 2 that at some point the flames will burn bright again.
The alternate ending changes your intentions from most likely doing it to finally give the world balance again to just doing it to be a huge fucking dick and take the little embers that are left for yourself.
The Hollow Lord ending is turning the first flame into the dark soul/human essence/etc as a means to finally break the chain (that' never worked in the past so don't hold your breath) and to presumably rule over the hollows as the qualities of the first flame would probably be different.
Fuck this nigger with a rusty fork.
I cant do it man, cant do it. Wasted all my ember now too.
>>334942828
I literally just sprinted around the room and then rolled to dodge the follow up magic missiles. I think i got hit but the arrows once.
>>334941303
I feel like I got lucky when I managed to beat him on around the 10th try, because he only used arrows twice
>>334940732
I struggled with dragonslayer armor but found this shit easy as fuck.
>>334961002
Why the fuck do people struggle with this guy? If you managed to beat Pontiff you should not struggle with lorian/lothric
>>334960794
magic is so bad in this game
>>334961002
>Wasted all my ember now too.
Start invading. From Soft finally realized their retardation in DaS1&2 and returned to DeS' system so you can now invade even when not in Ember form.
>>334959053
>sieg can solo him
Kek, Sieg in my game got wrecked in like 10 seconds while I was trying to figure out the fucking charge mechanic on the sword. I don't know where all the "Sieg can solo him" shit comes from because he was literally useless for me, didn't even hit the boss once.
Either way it wasn't hard once I knew how to charge it, just equip the carthus bloodring and enjoy never being hit ever.
Also if you hit the bosses head with the charge he drops down to his knees and gives you enough time to charge it again. The charge stays saved up so you can just roll away and wait until you can target his head again.
>Pop dried fingers
>Summon everything I possibly can
>Fights turn into mosh pits
>purple fighting watchdog while invader fights phantom while another invader fights sentinel/darkmoon
>Me fighting giant fucking crab.
Holy shit this clusterfuck, I fucking love it.
>>334961701
NG+? What level? I'm at 105 and barely find anyone
>>334940732
hes easy
just use wolf knights greatsword
run to the middle when he warps
use your flip attack when you see where he is going
repeat
>>334962068
NG+ lvl 105 aswell. I have wasted like 20 Embers on this shit, it is just so good.
>>334961321
> I don't know where all the "Sieg can solo him" shit comes from
From him actually being able to solo him. By the time I figured out the stormruler, Sieg has already chunked Yhrom to almost half.Conclusion? You're just unlucky.
So far my death count on bosses (no summons) is:
>Iudex - 1
>Vordt - 1
>Tree - 0
>Abyss watchers - 0
>Stray demon - 0
>SKELETON HANDS - 2. fuck the fog
>Old Demon King -5
>Pontiff - 10+
>Aldrich - 10+
>Yhrom - 0
>Oceiros - 1
>Champion Gundyr - 1, awesome fight
>Dancer - 1
In hindsight Pontiff would have been much easier if I used something other than a zweihander
>>334959374
The camera is the real boss.

this is the first time ive actually "watched" this person, otherwise i only know him from bitch threads on /v/
why is this grown man behaving like a middle schooler?
>>334958107
>Miracles are shit.
Then what about sorcery?
>>334963548
>>334963639
I find it funny how so many people have so different amounts of trouble with completely different bosses, save for perhaps Pontiff who almost everyone seems to have struggled with. I for one found Aldrich easy (died only on my first try to the surprising arrow storm) even when I wasn't using fire. Just don't use lock-on, then hug his "tail" so his attacks have trouble reaching you.
The bosses I remember struggling with the most were Pontiff and Champion Gundyr, who both took at least a dozen, maybe two dozen tries. And Yhorm because I was the retard who didn't figure out how to use the Stormruler. I beat Ludex Gundyr, Old Demon King, Crystal Sage, Deacons, Oceiros and Abyss Watchers on my first try.
>>334964658
Everything he says is valid. Boss fight is shit. Camera is shit.
>>334940732
Just fought him for the first time and let me say his soul arrows are fucked up
I keep getting OHKO by them
>>334963643
>254 deaths
>wow
>wow
>wow
Kek, every time
Also what's his highest death count of any boss across the games so far, is this his highest?
>>334964731
Camera's only bad on the dragon part, which isn't really hard
Once he's on foot it's a straightforward but tough fight
>>334963639
>>334963548

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
>>334940732
It's bizarre how many people are advising to attack the tail. His front is just as safe as the tail and you're allowed to do more damage and he'll stagger more often.
His swipe will miss no matter where you are and the arrow attack tracks around him so it doesn't matter where you are
why does it feel like the removal of armor improvements completely fucked over strenght builds?
>>334963548
Fuck I forgot Deacons and Crystal sage, probably because they are shit bosses
>Deacons - 0
>Crystal sage - 1, fuck magic
>>334964819
Dunno but
DS2 = mirror knight
BB = first DLC boss forced him to quit the dlc
DS3 = champion kicked his ass now nameless kicked his ass ( blames delay on xb1 )
DS1 used summons up the ass mostly died in non boss areas
>>334964819
This is the highest death count in a pre DLC base game.
>>334940732
I hugged his left leg and fucked him up with my +5 Dragon Tooth in about twenty seconds on my first try.
When I helped Anri of Astoria do it, I did pretty much the same thing to the same effect.
What's supposed to be hard about him?
>>334963643
>tries to roll right through a continuous burst of fire
>"I CAN NOT EVADE THAT"
Just RUN AWAY for fucks sake
>>334963813
This is why he is so incredibly fun - you never know what to expect next.
All his attacks are dodgeable and he is not so relentless as Pontiff - which actually makes him entertaining and fair.
I almost killed him first try but got cocky - screenshot related.
>>334943910
It works for all of them though
>>334965293
>BB = first DLC boss forced him to quit the dlc
not to mention he duped blood to get level 90 before the third boss
>>334963643
>ITS 2016... NO CHECKPOINTS??!?!?!?!?!
HAHAHAHAAHAHA MY SIDES
>>334965467
wow, champion fucked my ass but Pontiff was a cakewalk, I wonder why is different for some people
>>334963643
>complains about no check points
>complains about having to redo the first phase of a boss battle after failing phase 2
>IT'S 2016 COME ON
woah... so this is the power of memes...
>>334964352
What kept killing me wasn't his souls arrows - it was his arrow rain, which in his phase 2 continues for way too long and can eviscerate you in a second. The rest of him was ok albeit annoying - I even had enough hp to tank both soul spears.
>>334963643
>that double hit from the fire
Holy fuck I'm dying
How can this be considered hard? You just run up to him as fast as possible. When he's about to do the arrows, go behind him. He practically never actually attacks, only the occasional telegraphed melee.
WAIT, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO USE STORMRULER ON THE DRAGON?
>>334940732
I beat this boss on my first try with 3 estus left from fighting the trash mobs before him. That spider lion thing was way more scary and harder than Aldrich.
>>334965826
Dunno. They could be trolling him.
>>334963643
>misses with Storm ruler
>dies to double fire hit again
Man this is just too good
Got to this guy about an hour ago.
Learned 2 parry, but damn this hurt.
>Aldrich, Devourer of Gods
hey, I think that boss gave me a blowjob once
>shoots the storm ruler out in thin air
>"DIDN'T WORK"
>>334965826
Stormruler is only efficent against the Giant Lord.
>>334965826
Kek no they are trolling him.
>>334940732
Is it the new meme to start a thread with "___ is litterally impossible" now?
>he tries to use storm ruler
>literally aims off to the fucking side completely missing the giant fucking dragon
>"Wow, good job game"
jesus christ he's bad
and why is he complaining about a secret optional boss being difficult
>>334965826
Yes, it does literally 5000-10000 damage with its charged weapon art.
>>334966139
who are you talking about?
>>334963994
My rage knows no end.
>Shoulder charges me 3 times in a row
>Finishes me off with a jump attack after I mistimed my dodge.
>>334940732
Litterally just git gud, you just need to time things right, and not be greedy. Like every goddamn soul boss ever.
>>334966265
JUST ROLL AND GET GUD WOOOOOOOOW
>>334940732
I got summoned to an Aldritch fight once. Went full Artorias on him. Died in a wolf flip trade that killed Aldritch.
The host bowed to me as I died and I got the souls and medal anyways.
Fun times.

Also why is it named King of the Storm for him.
>>334966502
The camera didn't fuck me over in that fight luckily. It only unlocked from him when he teleported far to do his beam attack.
