Explain to me how pontiff is a fair boss. How is this bloodborne tier aggressiveness shit allowed in DeS? Starts at 8:20

He's completely blind on his right side.
Stop being shit.

>He's completely blind on his right side.
That would be great if he gave you a chance to attack.
>>
>>336019710
What are you talking about? The dude is super easy to dodge
>>
>>336020123
I don't have unlimited stamina like you cheat engine users. I can't roll forever.
>>
>>336020451
What? If you're bad you'll roll his aggro in 3 rolls
>>
AHAHAHA this guy playing is unbelievably shit. Like bottom of the barrel garbage shit. Playing with a shield is pathetic enough... but LOSING with a shield? Jesus fucking christ I'm dying here.
>>
I haven't played it but all bosses in Dark Souls are weak to a certain weapon type or strategy. Not all loadouts are balanced in terms of ease against all bosses, you need to switch it up when something gets too tough.
>>
If you hug his body he swings over you.
>>
>>336020528
Watch the vid, it shows why that is impossible to do. You can't hit him, he never stops attacking.
>>
to be fair all of his attacks are slow as fuck and easily dodged by rolling. Sometimes he even swings over you.

>tfw you solo a boss on your first try but in NG+ you can't even beat him with summons

Dragonslayer Armor
>>
>>336020708
Oh never mind its a dsp video HEH FUNNAY
>>
Use a shield like the shield of want and he does shit damage overall.
>>
tried to dodge, didn't work
>>
>>336019710
Parrying will fuck his shit up
>>
>2016
>Cannot dickwraith anymore because all worlds you invade contain a 3 man gangbang.

>When pve'ing, summon helpers, and they're all shitters who die to the boss in 2 hits, just making the boss harder now.

Is dying on purpose the new dickwraithing?

What does this have to do with Demon's Souls?

Also Pontiff is Old King Allant mixed with the Darklurker.
>>
>>336019710
dont dodge away from him his weapons have a long reach always dodge towards him at his right side(the purple sword) use clorathiy ring to keep up stamina
>>
>It's DSP

not watching this, but let me guess what he says

>WWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW

>GREAT GAME FROMSOFT THAT WAS TOTALLY FAIR
>>
i lucked out and beat the pontif on my second try solo. actually i didnt mean to do it solo, but the guys i brought in died before they could even land a single hit on the fucking guy...
>>
Once I solo a boss and can prove it to myself that I can do it, I will summon every other time I play the game.

I just want to help bros get their sunlight medals.
>>
>>336020681
>Watch the video, he never stops attacking
>Attacks once after the aggro and walks for 15 seconds, screaming "HEY PLAYER I'M ABOUT TO HIT YOU KNOW, LOOK AT MY STANCE" every time he tries to hit you
Literally beat him in the first try and I'm not even that good at souls games
>>
>Jump back
>Fireball, fireball, fireball
>Jump back
>Fireball, fireball, fireball
>He releases his doppelganger
>Hit and run, hit and run, hit and run with your weapon
Done.
>>
>>336020451
You can literally do 12 rolls without upgrading your stamina. Compared to other Souls games that's practically infinite.
>>
>>336019710
Its called git gud
>>
>>336020781
That fucking boss is harder than the two bosses after it combined. Why?
>>
>>336021839
From can't balance for shit.
>>
>>336021839
You ar meant to use the terrain, have it circle around the fountain and he's easier.
>>
LEARN TO PARRY OR ROLL EFFICIENT

IF YOU CANT MANAGE YOUR STAMINA BY NOW, YOU DONE GOOFED

AND DONT ROLL AWAY FROM HIM YOU FOOLS. ONLY A COWARD RUNS

>>>>>>>>>>/vg/
>>
>>336020781
Dragonslayer armor is not that hard
>>
>>336022273
Oh, never even thought of doing that.
>>
So who is the hardest boss? I'd say Ludex.
>>
The problem with DS3 enemies in general is there's no proper way to counter the endless stream of attacks because placement doesn't matter due to the absurd tracking. You just have to roll until they stop and hope you have enough time to get in one attack before they start again. It's fucking boring.
>>
>>336022531
Nameless King or Soul of Cinder.
>>
>>336022598
It makes heavy weapons worthless because poise no longer exists, forcing you to play with faster weapons.

shit balance
>>
>>336022531
nutsack tree
>>
>>336022598

Yeah, I feel like some enemies need to calm the fuck down, especially those Outrider Knights.
>>
>die to pontiff once
>drop grass crest for parrying shield
>win instantly even though I rarely parry and am not good at it

>die to dancer once
>switch to 2h and greatshield
>win instantly


Stop meta building your first playthrough. Go offline and do quality, das3 is the absolute best in terms of being able to change playstyles often. Its rewarding and fun and helps a lot when you decide what meme you're gonna use for your pvp build later on.
>>
>>336022531
>Ludex

It's fucking Iudex you pleb, with an i
>>
>>336022763
the game is easy with heavy weapons, you're just terrible
>>
>>336022961
>playing broken builds to cheese bosses

You're missing the point of the game, friendo.

There's no balance between the types of enemies any more, it's just an endless steam of attacks even if it's an anorexic goblin with a stick that looks like it has trouble standing up. I remember the 'holy shit' moment I had the first time I faced one of the skeleton dogs in tomb of the giants, but now every enemy acts like that.

I don't know what made From lose sight of what made their earlier games so rewarding to play compared to Souls 2 and 3. Maybe Namco wanted to play up the 'it's reeeeally hard!' angle for marketing.
>>
>>336022312
I know he isn't he just hits like a truck
>>
>>336021839
What? he's one of the easiest bosses in the game. Much easier than SoC or even twin princes
>>
>>336023631
>I don't know what made From lose sight of what made their earlier games so rewarding

The success of BB. Had that game tanked, DaS3 would have been a lot different.

>>336024152
Literally never died to him except at SL1 where I died a few times. everything is super telegraphed
>>
in other games you could mash buttons when grabbed and that would reduce damage, does that still happen?
>>
Somebody post the stand picture
>>
>>336024230
You said he's one of the easiest bosses when you have shit like deacons, watchers or crying dragon dog.
>>
>>336024731
>Watchers
>easy
>>
>>336024731
Oceiros is harder than him though. At least Oceiros has his dumb charge that comes out of nowhere so that's one difficult attack
>>
>>336025024
>Oceiros is harder than him though
lmao what? Half of his attacks don't even hit you.

They are disappointing as fuck.
>>
>>336025549
Well that means half of his attacks hit you, which is still better than dragonslayer armor
