Yo I don't care what you fucks say.
Easy or not for you, this motherfucker right here is one of the best bosses in the Souls series.
>Fucking Shoulder tackles you
>Fucking Roundhouses you the fuck away
>That second phase aggresion
Holy shit.
Yeah I'm still currently fighting him, and yes I'm losing. But this is the first boss in DS3 that makes me really back the fuck away makes me scared.
Also I don't care if it was a gimmick fight, but Yhorm was also a good boss fight. Almost felt like DeS boss The Old One.
half the responses to this thread will be something on the lines of "bro it took me 2 tries why are you so bad"
>>335616919
Man I don't care. This boss is fun. His moveset looks so good.
>>335616593
>Gundyr
>Yhorm despite the gimmick of the fight
You have good taste OP, I loved those two fights
>>335616593
Which do you guys prefer the buckler or the target shield?
>>335617907
parrying shields all look bad
crest shield is where its at all day everyday
>>335617907
well since the target shield is objectively better in every way...
He's like a damn rock of ass rape.
>>335618256
Fashion?
Just killed him after 6 tries. Really was one of the best fights. I hope Nameless is better especially because of story significance.
>>335618256
the name buckler is better
>>335618347
dumb frogposter
>>335617138
I want to pump-a-rump into pickle-pee
>>335618626
Nameless is the hardest in the game. Took me over 50 tries with no summoning. Its also a really cool fight but Gundyrl has the cooler move set.
>>335617138
>Be with Siegward
>We both run to Yhorm as Siegwards belts out an epic war cry.
>Yhorm slowly walks towards you and sieg as his theme blares.

My fucking boner
>>335619912
Sieg for me, died in two hits from Yhorm. Only useful thing he did for me was to let me run and get Storm Ruler.
>>335620808
I haven't finished his quest yet, if he gets reamed by Yhorm can you start the fight over or is he dead?
>>335620967
He's dead forever.
>you will never be this cool
>>335622167
This motherfucker moves with purpose.
>>335622167
>you will never see Gundyr as a guest character in Soul Calibur 6
>>335622551
>you will never see Soul Calibur 6
>>335620967
Doesn't matter, the only real reason you'd finish his questline is for the Titanite Slab anyway.
>>335620967
Nope. He dies anyway.
>>335622167
reminds me of wammu
>>335618794
Now edit Aldrich onto his lower body
>>335622625
>if we see SC6 is will be a trainwreck as bad as SF5
>>335623925
Trainwreck my ass, fuzzy penis horse man made everything worth it.
>>335622167
Would've been cooler if the Champ dropped his halberd second form and just beat the shit out of you with his bare hands.
>>335617907
Cestus offhand allday
He should have started doing crazy shit like jumping knees in the second phase
>>335624283
Or Buddha Palm.
>>335624112
who's champ???
>trying to co-op dancer
>hosts keep trying to be heroes
FUCK
JUST LET ME KILL HER

He's a fat cat who's a bitch.

>thought i had every ring
>need to go into ng+3 to get a fucking life ring +3
i have to do the other two endings anyway and got the covenants finished finally.
>>335616593
He is ruthless
He is relentless
I needed katana bro just so he wouldn't hit me in to oblivion so I could heal
There are no breaks on his rape train
>>335624686
>the black swirling goo monster eating him in the beginning only made him weaker
>he was letting you off easy by tying both arms behind his back
God damn, man.
>>335616593
I beat him first try, but even I noticed he was just cool as fuck.
He's almost too fair.
>>335619912

Fuck me
>>335624894
Same for me, got him first try, but with one Estus left. Shit was fucking intense and I loved every second of that battle. I can't wait to see him again in NG+.
>>335624816
Any open window you have to hit him
He will always retaliate with a kick then a jump
Or a grab and a swing
>>335625026
Did he get patched or something? My Sieg endured about 6 hits before we won.
>>335624112
If he dropped his halberd in 2nd phase I might have gone scared as shit. He was relentless as hell with a halberd, how much more if he just melee'd you to death.
>>335616593
Gundyr seems like he was designed to counter the play style that every boss encourages with his staggered timings and omnidirectional hyper-aggression in phase 2. You really have to learn his move set otherwise he will absolutely pound you into oblivion. I beat him my 3rd run solo (no ember) and I basically just got lucky because I was chugging estus nonstop.
He's going to be fun in ng++.
1st time I was level 80 and got him in two tries
2nd time I was level 40 and took probably 10 tries to beat him
Having a souped up estus and the defense bonuses just from leveling really removes the difficulty in this game.
>invade 1v3
>get them low
>r1 spam til i die
>LEL XD EMOJI HAHA!!!1
Fucking cunts triggering people. What the FUCK is your problem whats so fucking funny about triggering an angry fuck. FUCK.
Sounds stupid as i type it out now jesus. People take this game too seriously
>>335625148
Rng gods were not on my side
And he only has 1 life so you get one chance
>>335616593
Why don't they just add an easy mode? There's literally no reason not to.
>>335625496
Can't you retry with bone/dying first?
why the fuck do people care about "gimmick" fights
what the fuck is this meme anyways
new to the dark souls community, by the way, so excuse my >le ebin newfagginess xdd
I can already imagine Mizayaki feeling giddy as hell when he put corrupted Gundyr as your first fight, then having Champ Gundyr fucking you up later on.
>>335625597
They don't need the GOTY awards.
>>335625026
This same exact thing happened to me, too.
I was sorcery-only and couldn't figure out how to use the Storm Ruler and as I was fucking around, he died in 3 or so hits.
>Finally get to dancer
>Intrigued by all the /v/ thread about how hard she is
>The most difficult part is the asinine camera getting stuck on every shitty column, corner and pews
Geez, it wasn't even that hard you fuckos. Why do you guys keep moaning about how hard she is?
To the people who hide when invaded.
FUCK YOU. This isn't hide and seek you fucking pussy ass mother fucker grow some balls and man the fuck up. Ember isn't even hard to get.
>>335625761
She makes me hard.
>>335625761
HOLY SHIT THIS. Not a terribly difficult fight once you learn her timings but I died fucking 3 times to her roflcopter move when she was one good hit from death because LOL RANDOM CHURCH STUFF EVERYWHERE
>>335625776
get fucking mad
you ruin my fun i ruin yours :^)
>>335625776
>invasion
>one participant may be unwilling
Anon, stop being a faggot. You're invading, he's under no obligation to fight you. Just Black Crystal Out if you're impatient.
So, I've heard rumors about it, but is poise straight up disabled right now?
>>335625620
i hate the gimmick fights
>boss where you spam weapon art that deals 5.5k damage a pop
>boss where you run through 20 enemies and jump attack his head
>boss with 50 mobs that die in 2 hits and do no damage
>2 bosses with hit the weak spot mechanics and die when you break 3 of them
5 fucking bosses that could've been made better or have a completely different beast to fight that required some form of skill.
>>335626003
That's the word, yeah. It's basically Capcom DLC right now.
>>335626042
who cares its a videogame lmao
>>335625942
>ruin fun
More like spicing up your pussy life. Grow some fucking balls god damnit I'm not here to waste your time so don't waste mine. Stupid fucking idiot. I really hate you.
>>335625989
Shut the fuck up i'm trying to make an experience for these idiots but some of these pussy ass bitches (a minority of them btw) literally ruin the game not only for themselves but for the community aswell.
>>335626003
pretty much
>>335625776
>run away and hide from invader for what was probably a good 20 minutes
>he finally finds me and there's nowhere left for me to hide
>disconnect
>>335625761
>People kept hyping up Nameless King as the hardest boss
>Took me one try to beat him
Every boss is different for other people. Some people may cry and complain about one boss but easily cheese through another boss more people complain about.
>>335626119
but you are wasting my time, i'd much rather co-op than have to fight 5 cheaters and then 2 people who have endgame gear in starting areas because their buddies dropped it for them
admit it, you invade just to make people angry
so it's only fair i make your whiny little ass upset by not giving you the satisfaction ;^)
>>335616593
God you must be slow.. But not as slow as this poke.
>>335626042
This.
Take a poll of the best bosses, and they are always humanoid ~1.5 times your size
Always.
Flamefucker, Allant, Artorias, Mananus, Operating System, Fume, Smelterfucker, Sir Weeaboo, Pope Hitbox, NK, Champ, etc.
The few exception like Kalameet don't disprove shit
>>335626003
even if you raise it from birth couldn't a tiger just snap and maul you to death?
I've never had a problem with Gundyr, but I think it's because we're both halberd fags so I know what he's going to do.got my motherboard for my PC and switched back to PC from the PS4 version and having literally double the frames made me feel like I was Neo in the matrix beating Smith with one hand
>>335626154
>>335626239
>HAHA OH WOW BANTZ! AMIRITE? SURE SHOWED HIM LEL XD
Both of you are fucking idiots.
>>335626273
>implying
Ludwig is one of the best fights in BB and he's nowhere near humanoid.
>>335626286
No, that really is only seen in overly inbred animals like some domesticated dog breeds. Most animals remember who raised them. Doesn't mean it won't eat your corpse when you die.
>>335625620
Any boss that can't be fought by simply going after them and fighting is gimmicky, most with mob spam are too since their method of fighting tends to be very unusual. Some normal ones may have unique mechanics like Watchers, or NK and that's okay with some people liking or disliking them, but From has an awful history of their souls games having awful gimmicks in a boss and almost never getting them right (See: Dragon god, Bed of Chaos, Royal Rat Vanguard, Celestial Emissary in their other games), and they hardly learn from the mistakes on developing them, as you can notice that the mob boss is never liked.Deacons do have a kickass theme.
>>335626356
>>335626042
I must be retarded, but as a caster I had the most trouble with Deacons and Greatwood. I died more on Deacons than I did on any other boss combined because at that point you have shit weapons if you're INT/FTH focused and you don't have any of the good pyromancies/sorceries yet.
I'm not defending these fights, because 100% of my deaths there were from shit lockon or RNG bullshit... but I did have trouble with them, despite knowing exactly what to do.
>>335626420
He's right though about being x1.5 your size part.
>>335625597
Because literally half the draw is the game being difficult.
>>335626565
Yeah, as a caster the first few bosses are really rough. I just had to go full physical on Deacons and the Sage. I had to physical attack the last 50% of the Curse wood's HP with my teeny tiny dagger, too. That wasn't fun.
I want to marry Ornstein!
>>335626207
This. That's why I don't react when people have a hard time on a certain boss. People had a hard time with Dancer but I killed her in two. I had a hard time with Champ, dying around 6 times, but other did it in one go.
Sometimes it's really just different for others.

Yeah, for phase 2 on both of those fights on NG that is your only choice. Doing that shit again with flame arc/great chaos fire orb/soul spear/whatever is going to be fun but man was it fucking terrible the first time through.
>>335626707
I really pity you idiots who don't find the egg sacks on the left leg and left wooden arm. People only seem to find the dick sack and the back sack

Tip 4 deacons
super dank tip right here, exclusive tipperino
Fire Orb.
Does like 230-240 damage in a wide radius.
>>335627032
No, I found the one on the arm, but targeting it with spells is basically impossible. Hence dinking it with my tiny dagger when I was really trying to play magic-only.
>>335616593
REMOVE CHAMPION GUNDYR
FUCK HIS 2ND PHASE
FUUUUUUUUU
>>335627080
>Fire Orb.
He doesn't use Chaos Fire Orb
>>335627080I was Sorcery-only at the time, no Pyromancy. I just didn't realize how bad pure Sorcery would be later on.

Super homo.
>>335627315
Most people will probably not have Chaos Fire Orb at Deacons on NG.
>>335627358I just use whatever magic is cool. On that fight on my Pyro I was using Soul Greatsword, Fire Orb and Magic Weapon.
>>335626356
>assravaged invaders screaming in impotent rage when hosts start to do the same bullshit invaders have done for 4 games straight
Whats it like to suck so much at pvp you have to resort to insulting people on the internet when you can't kill them?
Literally just get good and you can invade and kill anyone.
So obvious spoilersIs the dark firelink shrine from the past or in the future? because it seems it is the future showing you what it will be like if you don't link the fire
While in the subject of deacons.
>deacons are less likely to be stunlocked to death than watchers
Anyone else found this stupid?
>>335627572
There's no concrete answer, but my bet is on an alternate world entirely. Ludleth also mentions seeing it if you speak with him after going there, so if it's a different time, same world, I'd go with past.
>>335627080
Fire orb didn't cut it, at least not with the attunement and estus I had at the time. In retrospect I should've skipped deacons and gone straight to Carthus for all the awesome pyromancies. Would've made the fight infinitely easier.
Ultimately I had to just exploit the AI's stupidity and lure them away from the deacon then rush in and combo him to death since I couldn't just clear a path to him. But yeah, not just fucking off to Carthus immediately was a mistake.
>>335626969
ITT complete pussies who want to summon and make the game easier without repercussions.
The invaders already have it bad as it is, if you still have to use cheap tactics especially when you have a buddy then you're obviously just shit at the game lmao
>>335627572
>>335627726Past. You beat champion Gundyr so bad he falls to the abyss or whatever turns people into these lizard mutants and the handmaid mentions the firekeeper being imprisoned there
>>335628005
Ah, I had a bunch of attunement and I did Cathedral first because I fucking haaaaaaaaaate Cathedral.
I dunno, I was wrecking the Deacons with my Fire Orbs and I had enough ashen estus to keep it up long enough.
>>335628174
Is a simple weapon worth getting later on? How good is the regen?
>>335626273
Right but if all the bosses were just like that none of them would stand out.
Can I kill Ludeth and still transpose? I want the ring for invading but unsure if 'd be willing to lose on those for it.
>>335628496
What ring?
>>335627509
I felt like an idiot that I got through Smouldering Lake without having found the Crystal Sage. Somehow I'd just skipped on through to Ferron and figured people were messing with me when messages said to find people ahead in the Catacombs.
>>335628551
Skull ring, attract more enemies attention.
>>335616593
I will probably gonna get memed on but I've just killed him on my 1st try with machete. It was a cool fight but way easier than pontiff, dancer or abyss watchers.
>>335628287
The regen isn't anything to scoff at, but it is kinda low at about 1 fp / 4 seconds. You can double up on it with a main hand and off hand though and it does provide a melee option since it turns the weapon into an INT scaling weapon.
It's nice to have around, basically. Also good for weapon skills since you don't need the full amount of FP to use a weapon skill.
>>335628564
I always tend to go in a big clockwise circle around areas, so I find stuff like Sage before I find stuff like the two Exiles guarding the entrance to Farron.
>>335628496
yes.
What the fuck is the reversal ring for? The description is retarded and makes no sense.
>>335616593
Soul of Cinder was pretty fucking cool
Getting juggled like I was playing fucking Tekken was crazy.
>>335628881
It lets you be a trap or reverse trap.
starting ng+ how much harder is it? i had a pretty easy time with ng.
>>335629045
It doesnt alter my appearance at all.
???
>>335616593
>tfw i summoned 2 phantoms and they killed him in 11 seconds
I almost feel bad for missing out on this fight.
Almost.
>get host to sliver of health
>watch him squirm as he mashes dodge key
>>335629072
You'll probably find the first several bosses easier than NG, but once you hit the Dancer in NG+ they can be pretty tough imo.
Stop all these homo Gundyr threads; we get it, you want to fuck him
>>335629116
It changes any emotes as well as the way of moving from male to female, it's not that hard to get, look how the running animation is different.
I don't know, i killed him in 6 tries, dual curved swords only.
>>335628747
You can get a miricale that does the samething.
http://darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Atonement
>>335616593
Champion Gundyr is gets so easy after you see all his moveset.
Also you can parry the first jump attack he does, so theres already a extra damage there.
The worst part of fighting him is having to run all the way from the bonfire to his boss area.
Then again, the same can be said about most bosses. If you had a bonfire right outside their areas, everything would go easier.
>>335629405
That needs some faith investment. I'm planning on doing a dex/int with dorkmoon bow, but are there any interesting things to do with dex/fth?I don't like dragonslayer, by the way.
How the fuck do I beat this guy?
I even swallowed my pride and summoned but even the phantom died. I'm even using a fire weapon. What the fuck?
>>335629212
>giant swamp crab takes host to almost zero
>he rolls away from me
>kill him with a kukri before he can chug
>>335616593
Agree, I died the most to the champ and just recently beat him. hardest boss I've yet to encounter.
>>335627070
senpai, you don't even know what he looks like
>invade like a madman
>collect 999 tongues, embers
>decide to be good goym join blue sents
>never get fucking summoned
Am I doing something wrong?
>>335616919
It took me 1 but difficulty doesn't fully determine quality
this guy was great no matter how many times you died to him
>>335629676
when he does his arrow rain, don't try and spam roll, sprint away from them.
git gud at dodging magic
>>335629607
Never used faith myself, but you get 5 free levels from the Yoel questline.
>>335629242
I went the "dancer route" first thing in ng+ and found it way easier than I was expecting. Dancer, ocelotte, and champion were the first three bosses I beat in NG+ and they hardly felt any more challenging than their standard game counterparts. The jump from Game to NG+ doesn't feel anywhere near as tough as it did in 2.
>>335629815
You're not alone. Blue covenants, except for Aldrich are so hard to get summoned for.
BUT IF YOU'RE THE ONE INVADING HOLY SHIT A LOT OF BLUES HELP.
>>335629687
I keep Avelyn on my offhand at all times to punish dumb swings and chugs.
>>335629815
nope you only get summoned if they have the way of the blue covenant item on. i had to farm anor londo knights for hours to get 30 concord kepts.
>>335629815
pretty much no one at Pvp level 100 or 120 is going to be in way of blue so you're gonna get summoned a lot less.
>>335629898
I don't mind so, but the question is keeping a level not high enough so as to not lose invade hosts.
>>335626042
I think gimmick fights are fine and good but Yhorm being a gimmick fight pissed me off. It's the easiest one to. They give a robust moveset and neat design, even hype him up in the trailers, and you use the storm ruler to end him in 20 seconds. I wanted to actually fight him. Storm King in DeS made sense because that nigger was high in the air and only magic/bowfags could hit him. Yhorm is just a regular boss that could have been cool.
How the fuck do get this guy? I was out of embers long before this boss, his flying purple space hornets just fucking eats me up and he takes like 80% of my health when he shots the lazor beam or get a swing on me.
>>335629676
Learn his attacks, he isn't that hard once you learn his moves.
On his arrow attack you can just run arround him 180° to dodge but sometimes he does an arrow attack that lasts much longer and goes further which you can only escape by legging it.
Just put your summon sign down to help people fight him to get used to him, that is what I do when i'm stuck on a boss anyway.
>>335630219
press B at the proper time
>>335616593
Definitely a cool boss, but not one of the best.
I love challenge, and I'm shit at the souls series but I took him out on my first life. so eh
Crystal sage is pretty cool.
>>335630219
>>335629676
>having problems with one of the easiest bosses
So, now that the dust has settled, I think that we can all agree that the powerlevels for the protagonists of this series are as follows:
Hunter > Ashen One > Slayer of Demons > Chosen Undead > Bearer of the Curse
>>335630485
He's harder then Yhorm and the abyss watchers
>>335629602
You can parry every single one of his halberd moves (short of possible the super jump slam, I didn't have the balls to try it). You can even parry that fakeout spin he does at the end of the spear charge. I died to him 6 times then on the 7th perfected him with only parries. His moves are fun as fuck to parry. Buckler-type shields are OP.
>>335625026
>>335625148
>>335625496
>>335625708
When I did it, Sieg took like four or five hits and his health bar looked like he could have taken a dozen more. How on earth could it possibly be so different between us?
>i'll never play this for the first time again
Dang. Glad I didn't go hollow, lel, and summon phantoms.
One hell of a good feeling.
>>335630562
Harder than yhorm, easier than abyss watchers
Can someone tell me why they still haven't removed the gain defenses for any type of level up thing?
I've long noticed it really ruins the fun of some areas given how significant it can be to your survivability.
>>335630485
all of the bosses have been piss easy up to this point, but god damn, I havent had such a hard time with a boss since ornsten and smough
>>335630691
every boss in the game is a walk in the park.
The worst I've had on a boss was 2 deaths. And most the time it was learning attack patterns.
>>335622167
>That fucking health bar
Must be hard killing him at lvl 100+
>>335629676
Only lock on after hes done spining around in the air.
>>335630562
>abyss watchers
>easy
>>335630626
No abyss watchers are a lot easier aldrich. You have to be a dumb ass to get hit by his only one shot move while has aldrich can be an annoying with his arrows and heat seekers at once
>>335630818
My health bar was that at lvl 50 anon, I just threw everything into strength and vit
>>335630818
more like around 80
>>335630979
>Abyss watchers
>hard
Nice meme friend, they are one of the easiest bosses in the game. The only move you have to watch out for it their lunge stab in the second phase.
>>335617138
yhorm needed 2x the amount of health OR half the amount and the stormruler did 1/4 the amount of damage
he has a pretty interesting moveset, but it's not like you get a chance to see it
>>335630661
I've stopped at a level 65, but that was after a few investments when I decided I wasn't actually getting any stats needed for my character.
That gives 120+ defense, but the difference to go 30 levels higher or so is like only an extra 15 points of damage mitigation.
Also Strength seems like it gives more defense than meets the eye, either that or there is a sweet spot around 40-45 that gives more points in defense than usual.
>>335628819
yea he's only hard if you try to estus in his second phase because he will fucking stop you from doing so
>>335630541
Chosen over Bearer? Have fun hollowing while I wear my swag crowns.
>>335630818
Dump enough into vigor and only use a raw weapon until +5, that was more than enough for me.
>>335630986
I beat aldrich first time and abyss watchers was 2nd time.
>>335630219
step one don't get hit
step two r1 spam
only hard thing about this guy is his second form arrows
>>335631301
I've beaten Abyss watchers first try every playthrough whats your point
>>335626042
the series was founded on gimmick fights you autist
i enjoyed almost all the bosses in DS3 except for the ancient wyvern because that gimmick was just bad
Why does every fucking weapon in this game suck except straight swords
Why do dodge attacks do remarkably less damage than normal attacks
Why <almost any decision they made here>
>>335616593
42 fucking tries to kill this cunt.
>>335626042
>>335626273
>He wants every fight to be the same lay out
Get a load of these faggots fucking kill yourselves you degenerate scum.
>>335630219
>>335629676
>Pyromancer mage
>Chaos fireball literally melts his health bar
Mage's make the game so much easier compared to my greatsword run I did before.
>>335631397
My point is you need to be retarded to even get hit by aldrich, some of the obvious visual clues in the souls series.
>>335630986
Aldrich is a fucking joke so long as you aren't literally retarded with your dodges
>>335616919
its how they ignore their dick is tiny
>>335631236
CU kills Gods. Bearer kills fuckboi imitations
>>335631519
I'm just going to blame everyone's blind hatred of 2 for all the bad decisions in 3.
>>335631583
Yes but the same can be said for the abyss watchers. Unlike the abyss watchers those Aldrich can be a little faggot in his last phase if he wants to be he has done nothing but cast arrows with heat seekers back to back three times before. Aldrich can do a lot more bullshit the abyss watchers can.
>>335631519
combat is faster paced and there is no poise so if you try to swing a greatsword/ugs and get hit you stop swinging. straight swords swing so fast the lack of poise doesnt matter.
>>335631175
Yhorm was really dissapointing, I died loads trying to kill him before figuring out how to use the special sword.
Once I figured it out I killed him in a couple of minutes without getting hit.
They should change it so you have to fight him for a while to stagger him, then give you a small time window to perform the special attack to damage him.
Because as it is you just charge it up and hit him, which is way to easy to do and his fight is over before you know it.
>>335631597
So are the abyss watchers
>>335624569
Life ring +3 is in NG++
You get +1 and +2 in the same NG+
>>335631706
But the arrows and heat seekers are almost impossible to get hit by with the unlimited i-frames the game gives you.
>>335631770
Most large weapon attacks have armour against staggering, but the real problem is they do pitiful extra damage - if any, in some cases - compared to a faster, easier, safe swing from a straight sword or thrusting sword.
>7 runs of the high wall

Whos cock do I have to suck to get a god damn heavy gem? I know the fucking things drop here.
What's the level good for invasions? Not fucking muh duels.
I'm guessing 80 below?
>>335630541
Chosen Undead >>> Ashen one > Bearer of the Curse > Slayer of Demons > Hunter
Canonically speaking.
>>335631859
If you can avoid all that with ease then explain how the abyss watchers are harder

Yep. It's literally disabled in the files.
>>335629676
Don't go ranged
>>335631579
>he wants bosses to die in 1-5 hits
wow what a boss so challenging he died in 3 hits fuck that was difficult. the wyvern could've had multiple paths to take and require more than 1 jump attack, wolnir could've had two bracelets and shrunk down to an actual fight, deacons could've been two or three slightly difficult enemies, yhorm could've been weakened by the storm sword art for a period of time and that's when you get regular hits in, and i guess the tree is too big for anything else so weak spots are fine.
>>335631913
I'm getting metric tons of invades at SL 50
What is the measure for if a boss is good or not. Because 90% of the bosses in DS3 a re fucking bullshit.
>>335631913
make a level 30 twink with +2 weapons, Im having fucking loads of fun with my dick-ass patches build invading from settlement to catacombs
>>335631939
Anon pls. How can it be that CU > Ashen One if Ashen One literally beats CU in a 1v1 fight at the end of DaS3?
>Hunter last
bait
>>335631909
go to ruin keep bonfire and kill the guys you kill for swordgrass they drop hella gems
>>335631909
Just kill the crystal lizard at either stray demon or after dilapidated bridge sewer.
>>335631965
Because multiple enemies at the same time is my bane.
>>335631968
>Old Demon King

The only good thing was seeing all those asylum and capra demon corpses in his area.
>>335631939
>Chosen of undead
>Did nothing but extend the curse
>Verse the demon to slay all demons
>A man who killed eldrich beings and asecnded
>Stronger then the man who ended the curse and reset the cycle
Weak bait.
>>335631939
Hunter is top dog. He becomes some god like great being
>>335631692
I was thinking more of what their power was at the end of the game (becoming a god, absorbing the flame, whateverDeSdidbecauseIdidnotplayit, becoming the Lord of Darkness in name only or becoming the Sovereign).
I rate Sovereign over Lord of Darkness in name only.
>pumped vig to 50
>beat him in 2 tries
ez
>>335632125
>Can avoid millions of arrows and heat seekers
>Dies to phase one of abyss watchers
0/10
>>335630609
You mean completely parry to counter attack or you mean the parry were you just tank the attack but still lose health?
Because I'm pretty sure Gundyr and others big enemies has attacks that you can only tank but not stop it.
>>335631909
I feel like you get more than enough of them througout the game.
>Getting sharp gems
It's like From hates dexfags.
I +5'd my Gundyr Halberd and also level 72.
Did I fuck up my invasions?
>Fight Dragon Armor.
>Literally a pvp turtle in boss format.
Why do people like this game again?
>>335632217
>50 vig
That's a lot of fucking wasted points
>>335632217
>leveling vig
might aswell play call of duty
>>335632201
CU canonically links the flame
>>335630207
So don't use the fucking Storm Ruler. Problem solved.
>>335632407
you probably wasted more pumping 40 points into str/dex and ended up doing 10 damage more than a raw weapon
>>335630541
>hunter
>strongest
In a dream maybe.
It took DSP 66 tries and 3 hours to beat Champion Gundyr.

The farthest you are away from that cunt, the corner he will be at. Also every time he hits you with his scythe he'll sap your health.
>>335632503
>he thinks that the dream isn't real
oh Kos, grant this anon eyes, to cleanse him of his beastly idiocy!
>>335632503
All of the hunter kills were in the waking world. That is why if you pick the sunrise ending you wake up in a murdered city as a beast or alien if you have the runes on.
>>335624426
>trying to co-op Nameless King
>host doesn't skip cutscene after stormdrake dies
They almost immediately die, and if they live they die instantly to the phase change. At least try the boss yourself first dweebs
>>335630207
And Dragon God was hyped up in the trailer, the intro of the game, and even after you beat the first boss, and he still was a let down.
This is just how From likes to troll people.
>>335632235

>>335632660
The abyss watchers fucking fight each other have you even done the right?
>>335632251
No, you can perfect-parry his halberd attacks, as long as it's not a melee move, the timing just has to be right. Buckler type shields make it so much easier. As for bosses, there are many you wouldn't think you could parry, but can. You can parry Pontiff, for example. I haven't tried Lorian yet, he's too fucking scary.
>>335632503
>>335630791
This dick is a piece of shit. Second phase the arrow barrage lasts fucking 10 seconds
I'm being chased by a arrow barage that lasts almost longer than my stamina, then the dick starts shoting fucking lasers in the middle of the barrage, which I have to roll to dodge, then my stamina is out and the arrow barrage catches up with me and I'm dead.
And if I manage to avoid all that, then theres the fucking purple space bees that suddenly gangrapes me just after I'm done with all above.
This boss is probably piss easy if you are a pyromancer with two summons hacking away at him, but as a mele character out of embers, he is fucking hard. Yhorne and the abyss watchers were fucking jokes in comparison.
this boss fight is shit compared to the nameless king

if you cant beat gundyr then good luck

Proof that ps4 owners have no sense of humor. They also apparently don't pay attention to lore.
>>335632527
>Exact same equipment and tactics for 66 tries
Yup that's DSP alright.
>>335632720
They fight each other when 3rd one appears. If there are 2 of them they both fight you.
>>335632909
>trying to bait out a console war
well meme'd
also, you must be 18 years or older to post here
>>335632878
I already did.
And also, I don't compare a boss being "hard" as being a fun boss.
Gundyr was hard for me yes, but he was a really fun fight. Took me 6 tries, but it was 6 tries that really was fun for me.
Hard doesn't mean it's a good boss fight anyway.
>>335632957
If you are saying you can't fight two normal type knight enemies at once how the fuck are you going to get threw the frost village and Lothric castle.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQnEEb8A-Ho
obvious best fight
>>335616593
I didn't like the way he teleported in his 2nd phase. It was like he kind of epitomised the whole GOTTA GO FAST MEME that was everywhere in the game.
He wasn't that hard either.
You assholes leaving the session and glitching the fog walls I know you are doing it on purpose, I just want to get muh souls man
>>335632697
>implying cosmic deities are anything special
>implying some guy in a top hat and trenchcoat can't just come along and kill cosmic deities casually
>>335632503
I appreciated your post, anon
>>335632660
>i can't pay attention to two enemies
The two darkwraiths outside are even harder than the watchers.
>>335633035
I'm another anon, almost finished the game. I just mentioned your mistake, calm down faggot.
>>335633143
Not if you aggro one at a time.
>>335633212
Then you end up having to fight 4 goat demons at once
>>335633062
>teleported
How the fuck does the Champ fucking teleport? You gotta give me that game you're playing.
>>335632057
Quality of a boss has nothing to do with difficulty. I really hate when I say a boss was good or bad and some faggot just says they're too hard or killed them first try.
I mean, you don't die to BoC after you're first playthrough, but that's an awful boss.
Yhorm uses a gimmick weapon which is only fun the first time around and even then, the whole fight is all about unning away, charing it, then repeating so 6 or so times, and it was worse than its first appearence, and I say this as someone who also didn't like Storm king anymore after 2 or 3 times.I'd have done Yhorm like this: Trick him into destroying a pillar in the room, rubris falls, he gets on his knees and walks like Lorian and you can hit his body, do so enough and then he lowers his head for a critical attack then rises again, repeat this 3 or 4 times and you'd win the fight.I suggest this only because making him destroy all pillars was my first plan
Similary, I consider a good boss one I'd fight again for no in-game reward just because the fight was fun. I even did copy my saves into a different folder in my PC so I could repeat fights like O&S whenever I feel like. Dancer is a good boss in 3 because you can emply many fun strategies like hugging that sweet ass, i-framing through slashes then hitting her head or using pillars to avoid her shorter attacks, all while the room gets marked by her attacks and is set ablaze. Her moveset is very cool overall and carries different enough moves in both phases. Their reach is also well implemented, except for the grab.In my opinion
>>335631968
>>>>Dancer
>>>>Good
>sword slash over and over
that fight is fucking garbage, i dont know why people like it
>>335632796
>mad sonybrony clings to his stale memes
>>335632957
This isn't even right either. Yes, the red eyed one is the third to spawn but it doesn't start attacking you when you kill one. And none of them discriminate.
>>335633062
>he teleported
