HE HAD LITERAL GLOWING WEAKPOINTS

I've read multiple posts of people that couldn't work it out

Prowling Magus

He can kill you instantly if you stand too close, so not easiest.

Easiest is Gaping Dragon

Yeah. Biggest joke in the game.
>>
He ain't easier than Pinwheel.
>>
>>335118201
Took me awhile to realize the damaging fog was a passive thing and not an attack. That and a 'try ring' message made me go back and look around for some fog-immunity ring.

Message signs outside of the throne room spoil the gimmick for you so there really isn't any excuse.

covetous demon from 2

the fucking joke congregation fight from 2

the cathedral of the deep boss fight.


try playing with 2 other people for the catacombs boss. His AOE smoke legit one shots you. Its pretty wild
>>
>>335118201
Say that to his fuckmist that kills you in 3 seconds if you look at his ribcage too close.
>>
>>335118448
gaping dragon can kill you instantly too. this is not a measure of how hard the boss is at all

It's not exactly hard to figure out, you look right at them.

This. You don't even need to bait his body slam

He was honestly one of the coolest but man was his gimmick shitty.

When you go and grab that item to see a giant fucking skeleton crawling at you was one of the best moments in the series.

Crystal Sage was just Aldrich Jr. Once you realize that the shadow clones cannot cast purple shit you can figure out the real one instantly.
>>
>>335118639
If you have a ranged weapon of any kind, Crystal Sage is a pushover. He's mildly difficult if you're playing Melee only, but that's due to the constant onslaught of projectiles you have to evade while trying to whack at the real sage.

All you do is run up to him and whack his ass, then again I guess it depends on what weapon you are using

I bet light weapons would be annoying with him
>>
>>335118858
I like to pay carefully, and taking your time to learn his movesets during the second stage can really fuck you up with all those clones spamming dick rainbows at you.

What?
This boss is easy, yes. But did you forget about Yhorm?
He's a lord of cinder, and if you just pay a little attention to your surroundings you will be able to 5 hit kill him, and once you know how to do it, it's the easiest fight in any souls game ever.
>>
>>335118201

I died to him once just because I kept running to his side to hit his hand but couldn't figure out what was damaging me.
>>
>>335118807
They copied the gimmick so obviously that they must've meant for the player to notice. Magic user the clones itself and teleportation around. The difficulty is about the same too, you can stagger him in one hit with whatever weapon so he can't even attack for most of the fight
>>
>>335118703
Gaping Dragon is easy, yeah, but it's sort of like the whole "there is no hardest boss", because people have different experiences with them. If I had to pick the boss I find easiest, it'd be Covetous Demon. On top of there being a way to make the fight even easier, he's no threat.
>>
>>335118909
straight swords stagger him and cancel his spells with a two hand slash

the only bullshit thing about him is that he can glitch up and make him invincible but im sure it got patched out already
>>
>>335118936
I know the fight was gimmicky but I thought it was really cool
>>
>>335118858
You can get lucky and just manage to run up and attack before the clones start up that's why peopel think it's hard.

I've died a couple of times in subsequent playthroughs, all becuase I was too lazy to equip throwing knives.

It's an attack that he literally spits out all over, it doesn't just happen on it's own and it runs out after he's done vomiting it up.

>>335119145
His mist doesn't hit behind his head, just go up to his body and you don't take any damage unless he moves forward which does kill you so it's only safe in the last part.
>>
Wait, I haven't reached him yet but I'm getting major bed of chaos vibes here.

you're supposed to have killed him by that point

nah, he's no where near that

he isnt exactly hard, people are just a bit disappointed because he looked cool in the trailers but he ended up being a boring boss
>>
>>335119321

He's a pushover, but can kill you if you get unlucky and charges forward when you're at his side
>>
>>335118551
You're onto something. Those first 2 and gaping dragon might be the only souls bosses that haven't killed me. And Yhorm, but I'll probably fuck up there on another playthrough.
>>
>>335118201
covetous demon
>>
>>335119408
So he becomes literally unbeatable if you don't kill him fast enough?
>>
>>335119043
No, that's just him changing his mind when he gets hit in melee. You can actually stun him out of the teleport cast for an extra cheesy fight.
>>
>>335118201

If you get unlucky and he walks forward while you are to his side you just die.

Excluding puzzle/area bosses like Dragon God and Bed of Chaos, the Leechmonger is far and away the worst boss in the series.

Laurence and the Abhorrent Beast are both trickier.

Prowling magus comes close if you aren't a complete muppet

Yeah fucking great, Fromsoft. If you cannot make bosses challenging by themselves just force me to navigate the fucking menus during a fight.
>>335118201
Also fuck this boss.
If you destroy the rings on his right hand first he becomes impossible because he will conjure up a sword in his other hand and the last ring will be constantly out of reach. Meanwhile he will spawn 30 blade wielding enemies that will just gank up on you. If you destroy the ring on his left arm first, then you can quickly destroy both on the right without any hassle and kill him in 30 seconds. Great design.

Covetous is easily the worst boss in any Souls game and it's not even close.
>>
>>335120380

They're just gonna waste that ember?

I miss soft humanity.
>>
>>335118201
he really shows why the fanbase shouldn't cry for non humanoid "cool" bosses.

the issue with making a gigantic monstrosity with cool mechanics is that it's simply impossible to balance.

imagine if instead of weak points he has a super long life bar and you have to fight through the last phase for a good few minutes. most of you would rate it the worse boss in DS3 by far.
>>
>>335120225
Not him, but yeah I only got the sword guys. Guess I got lucky.

Like to add over all bosses aren't really that hard. Never taken me more than 2 attempts, maybe 3 for one but I don't remember. I don't feel over leveled when fighting normal enemies but I can easily take down any boss solo.
>>
>>335118639
Bugged for me 4 times. Good boss.
>>
>>335120452

He would be hard if he just summoned more and started with the sword
>>
>>335120380
>Some people just wanna steamroll to NG+++ for the extra challenge and enhanced loot.
>>
>>335120452
I thought it wasn't too hard but it was at least fun, I don't see why 100% of the bosses need to be able to rape you - sometimes a gimmicky simple boss can be just as fun and enjoyable.
>>
>>335118201

The hardest part about figuring him out is deciding which order to hit the giant glowing FUCK ME HERE rings.

From our perspective, not his:
left to right > right to left
fight me
>>
>>335119210
He has a constant fog underneath him that prevents you from going too far up. That's what he meant.
>>
>>335119382
And you can also aim it perfectly and smash into the ground like the happiest shooting star.
>>
>>335120380
>>335120440

Don't forget a lot of players will drop a summon sign down in new areas to learn them, that's what I do too. Then, when I end up embered or feeling like taking on the boss, I've already fought it several times so it might be my "first" time opening the boss doors but I've already defeated it. Doesn't mean the person has never been there, just means they haven't as a host/by themselves.
>>
>>335120394
>If you destroy the rings on his right hand first he becomes impossible because he will conjure up a sword in his other hand and the last ring will be constantly out of reach.
What I did was destroy the two right rings first and then continue to constantly attack the right hand. The damage from just those two rings alone are enough to get him down to 1/4 health so it doesn't take much longer to kill him.

Took me a few tries to realize I needed to beat on them other than just beating on his hands themselves.

"Sweet an item- OH FUCK OH FUCK HOLY SHIT" I was so stoked.

Pontiff. All his attacks whiffed over you. Expected some gwyn 2 0 shit. Instead an easy to dodge fag whos gimmick is nullified by the fact that his phantom always does what the second guy does and is easy to bait.
>>
>>335118201
He's hard if he decides to never stop moving his arms which was a lot for me and crawling upwards always happened at random and standing in the fog for less than 3 seconds is instant death.

I'm not 100% on this but I think he summons if you only kill one of the bangles on his right arm. I think if you kill just one it opens the ability to summon them but if you kill both quickly or at the same time then he can't do it.

Probably just ironic shitposting, but I'm going to explain why this is one of the hardest ds3 boss for all the people who legitimately believe he's easy. The gas is pretty much instant death once you get caught in it. You have to kill him fast or else he'll spawn a shit ton of enemies. There's no way to kill all the enemies and you just gotta hope the boss kills them with his own attacks. Also, if you get bad RNG, he'll just repetitively use the sword ability on his right hand which makes his hand airborne and impossible to hit. Relatively easy in the grand scale of dark souls bosses, but as for dark souls 3, he's definitely one of the hardest.

Anyone else have bosses bug out on them? Crystal sage would teleport away, never to come back, and leave behind a single clone, which was invincible.

When some friends and I tried fighting Wolnir, he just never lit up. We had to fight him in complete darkness. It was both fun and terrifying.

>>335121393
I don't even see how I'm getting "boosted" by helping someone get through an area and using that as a method to get a feel for it at the same time. It's efficient and death has no penalty.

If you really only like the Souls games for the "hardcore challenge" then I can see why it'd be a thing you'd never want to do, but I just like the gameplay and I love interacting in these fleeting silly shield-ready spamming ways, so I don't really see any problem. I don't get "spoiled" given I'm still playing the game, it's not like I'm watching a play through on youtube.

I don't get how you see "being a summon" as "not playing the game" but that's what it sounds like you're saying.

>>335118201

I died to Wolhnir more than most of the bosses, and certainly more than any boss up till that point combined.

I didn't seem to understand that moving back was what advanced him forward, mostly because the first time I fought him he seemed to advance past me, killing me, when I was actually beneath him near his purple fog. After that I assumed his movement up the room was just part of the stages of the fight. As a result, I kept getting pinned against the wall near the end. I always understood I had to destroy the gold rings.

This was, literally, one the toughest fights in DS3 for me.

You do you though, just letting you know there's more to it than wanting a "hardcore challenge."
>>
>>335121507
Well obviously every boss is easy when you know what you're doing, but this one takes more trial and error than other bosses, and the RNG can really fuck you over. I killed most bosses on 1st or 2nd try, but the skeleton king took me like 4 tries. I died the first time to the gas because I didn't know walking to far forward would insta kill, the 2nd time because I let the fight drag out and enemies spawned, and then after that I realized I had to rush to break the bracelets as fast as possible, but on the 3rd time I literally had him go through the sword rotation like 4 times in a row, so there was no way for me to break that last bracelet and I eventually got overrun by adds, and then the 4th attempt went smoothly because of good RNG. Compare that to most other bosses of ds3 that give you unlimited time, unlimited opportunity to drink estus, and no insta kill abilities, and the skeleton is relatively pretty hard.

This boss was so piss easy and casual that it felt for a moment that i wasn't even playing a Dark Souls game.
>>
>>335121748
Honestly there's not much of a penalty for death in general in Souls games.

I had no problem fighting him with a claymore.

Don't remind me. I tried so hard to play a summonless caster, just to prove that magic wasn't that bad, but Abyss Walkers broke me. Magic sucks, the game actively punishes you for trying to play anything other than fast melee.
>>
>>335118448
Wrong again. Easiest is Demon of Song.
>>
>>335120175
Could be just rng but any time I helped other players he never spawned any adds, but he did almost immediatly solo.
>>
>>335122579
you can cheese abyss walkers with magic
before the second phase make sure you're near the entrance
then just shoot the boss from range while he slowly walks towards you
but yeah magic sucks

On NG++ I was going through to beat him again, laughing because he was such a joke.
Suddenly he did the non-telegraphed dash while I was standing immediately in front of him and killed me from full HP (I had a lot of HP).
I was stunned.
>>
>>335120825
I parried the pontiff and did like 1/3 of his health bar with a riposte. The boss felt like it was going to be hard up till then and now I feel like I cheesed him. Is this what happens every time you play through a souls game with a strength build?
>>
>>335118201
Don't know about DaS3, but I think we can all agree that no one died to this.
>>
>>335122648
This. You have to be clinically retarded to even get hit by him
>>
>>335123197
I was pretty disappointed by the nerfed bonewheels. Also, am I delusional or was the fight changed slightly in SOTFS?

That's because it's a compressed console screenshot of the early public beta test.

Granted, the final product doesn't look a whole lot better, but that's mostly because B-team fails in environment design. Look at Earthen Peak, for instance. Low-res, poorly tiled textures along mostly flat walls. It's awful.

It was. It use to spawn more pinwheels depending on if you killed the pinwheel spawning guy first. Now each spawnable enemy mob has a set number of things spawned.

It's a shitty google image from a shitty compressed youtube video of a shitty early beta. That's not how the game looks, damn, anon, you are so dumb.

You are not, the skelly lords are more aggressive in SOTFS. Just slightly so, though.

Phalanx.

Except you don't even have to stand anywhere close to GD him to kill him, he'll charge into a wall and you can just wail on his leg over and over, Wolnir will spawn insta kill mist, crawl towards you with no escape and spawn minions.

I usually do catas immediately after parish once I get a +5 weapon, it's a lot more fun but it requires a bit of suicidal runs sometimes

>>335124909
Pretty much. Also most people don't think to go down to the Catacombs when you're supposed to, which if I remember right is about after you finish Blighttown. By then you've seen Sen's Fortress open up, so you're thinking about going there instead. Most people fought Pinwheel on their way to actually clear TotG.

Yhorm is easier. When I fought Wolnir he had this irritating habit of, honestly, having a fucking wank or something keeping one of his hands right in the middle of his chest poison so I couldn't get to the bracelet.

are we going to pretend pinwheel is remotely as hard as any of the bosses you saw if you defeated blighttown, though? even if you didn't upgrade your shit

Yhorm would have been such a better fight if the stormruler was somewhere not in his room

Holy shit deacons of the deep are even easier than him.

>>335128412
suicidal as in sprint past skellies and only attack necromancers, pray you don't get stunlocked by fifty skeletons since you have 0 poise and are level 1

sure you could go slowly and kick skeletons 1 by 1 but that takes forever and you don't gain shit for souls anyway

>>335123520
>False King Allant is the final boss maymay
You can access him whenever you want after killing any last area boss in other worlds, meaning his world can be the second one you clear. People pretend False King is the final boss because True Allant was the worst boss fight in the entire series. Yes, it was probably intentional to make a helpless goo the final boss, but it's still a shit boss fight.

Deacons is easiest for sure

They are considerably easier. Chances are they fixed hitboxes so hard that the bosses can't hit you, and in most fights you can dodge majority of the attacks by simply sidestepping, not even rolling. I like them anyway, at least they're a bit varied and interesting.

The easiest is the Prowling Magus. I never lost to it ever even speedrunning like a retard with no estus left.
