You can only post in this thread, if you solo'd this boss.

If you co-oped Nameless King, then your trophy should be revoked along with you Dragon slayer spear. Why even bother with Dark Souls, if you're going to roll around in the background while phantoms kill everything for you? Are you this disabled in the real world as well? Fucking niggers.

Solo'd him with Irithyll Straight Sword and Fallen Knight armour.

I beat this boss on a friend's profile

I watched him fuck it up time after time and asked for a go while he took a smoke break, promising to die within an inch of success, but then Nameless keeled over on his knees and I wasn't sure if a skewer would kill him. I took the risk.

Friend's mad at me still. Am I a glory-hoggen shit?

I don't even understand the point of co-oping this boss. The health and damage he gains from you doing co-op just make it more likely for the host to die from what I've seen. Half of the time I'd put down a sign for this boss the host would die like a retard to a combo anyways.

Beat him after several tries with Arstor's spear. The reason I kept getting rekt was because I was using a shield that had shit lightning absorption. As soon as I switched it out I beat him first try.

Holy shit, people were right. I'm pretty sure Sword Master could solo Gundyr with a little luck.

Some of the NPCs are pretty broken. The Londor Pale Shade can outright solo the Abyss Watchers and could definitely make a good attempt at Sully.

Dark Souls 3 is legit the first ever Souls game where I feel like I've done myself a disservice when summoning for bosses. I never felt regret or felt like I'd robbed myself of the experience when summoning for bosses in any of the other games in the series, so why now with DaS3?

Because the (later) bosses are much more straight up fair but difficult fights without too much bullshit.

In DaS1 a lot of the difficulty often came from the terrain, while in 2 most bosses sans a few exceptions were so easy anyway that summoning didn't feel like you missed out on shit.
This time theres so many good challenging fights.
>Dat ass
>The pope
>Kirby

Those are all awesome as fuck fights solo, while DaS1&2 only really have about as much good foghts combined as 3 has.

I don't know why people keep saying Souls games are difficult. I summoned for pretty much every boss, beat the game easily.

Why wouldn't I? It's a game mechanic, might as well use it
>>
>>335842017
To be honest there are still a lot of bosses in DaS3 that I specifically didn't summon for, such as Dancer, Abyss Watchers, etc. I also didn't summon at all for Ludwig, Orphan of Kos, Fume Knight, and a chunk of DaS1 bosses.
Ludwig, Fume Knight and Orphan in particular were bosses that I was absolutely determined to beat without summoning at all. It took me 2 hours to beat Ludwig and 2 hours to beat Fume Knight.

Is he harder than Sulyvahn? I saw too many people bitching about how impossible he was and I killed him on my third try without even taking the shadow out.

Beat the game using Claymore (and Wolf's knight GS), the Greatsword and Sunlight straight sword.
Easiest boss (<= 3 try) Almost all of them (Gundyr, Armour, Deacon and Crystal stage all 1st try, NK 3 try)
Hardest boss : Lord of Cinder (probably more than 15 try) Dancer (I blame the camera for her) Pontiff, Watchers (Dunno, keep getting hit by the delayed flame in his 2nd form, always roll into it, I don't know why).

Protips : There's no hardest boss in any Souls Game, the hardest boss for you always depend on your build, and the type of boss (Humanoid vs monster, aggressive vs passive, Fast attack vs delayed attack etc...)

There's actually quite a lot of boss fights that are harder with summons, especially if your phantoms are shitters.

Autistic faggots will still spew incorrect garbage regardless.
>>
Only boss I've been unable to do solo thus far has been Champion Gundyr.

That guy wrecked my shit so many times. I think I might've been getting close-ish to having a handle on him...but in the end I just gave up last night, summoned a pair of Phantoms, and then lobbed fireballs while they wailed on him.

Think I'd find Nameless King easier to get a handle on if it weren't for the tedium of getting by the King of Storms first...

Nameless King was a fucking horrible secret boss. His first forma was just smack him until he teleports and you can stun lock his second form.

He's a Dark Lord in training. He corrupted the Church of the Deep so that they fell to the Abyss, eliminated any remnants of the old gods by sending them to their doom as Outrider Knights, and is playing along (and protecting) Aldrich because the biggest challenge to his plans is some Unkindled killing Aldrich and linking the Flame with his embers

Six.

I mean there's always room to do better of course, but I expected more from the "hardest" boss in the game.
Come to think of it there wasn't a single wallbanger this time around. Though it's probably another matter entirely in New Game+.
Hope they do better in the DLC.

Nameless kings difficulty arises from the annoying ass dragon battle since it makes it difficult to get a grasp on his timing and his attacks with the three minute buffer inbetween fights.

Shitty dragon fights not even difficult, it just takes so damn long to kill him between battling with the camera and waiting for his retarded ass to get in range to attack.

Nameless King by himself just ends up being a fight where the boss has a lot of attacks that can sometimes string together and sometimes don't. Not hard if you don't overextend yourself.

I don't fucking care how hard the game is because beating the game is a matter of course. I miss the emphasis on rewarding careful observation. I miss fiddling with my inventory, hemming and hawing about what items to decide on. I miss just grinding out some mobs because it felt so damn good. I miss going a long, long time without finding a bonfire. Now sometimes there's one encounter between one bonfire and the next and it's an encounter purely design to trick you into dying. Every, and I mean every, time I loot something I can expect an enemy to appear behind me. It's too predictable. Every single pull has the same design: trick the player into leaving his back exposed. Wow, it's fucking nothing. The bosses themselves are mostly fine but they feel empty because getting to them is bland

I keep seeing people say this but I don't know which attack they're talking about. The only two fire attacks I know of are the forward fire breath where rolling through it immediately let's you get free hits. The other is the one where the bird/dragon flies directly upwards, signalling this specific attack and only this attack, breaths in for about 2 seconds, then spits the fire downward, which takes time to spread and I can't imagine it literally hitting anyone ever considering there are so many tells and so much time to get away. Is there a third fire attack? What does that look like?
