What do people like about this boss again?
The first phase is awful and the second phase isn't that great either.

>can 2-hit you
>has a 2-strike combo ability
wow this is so fun :^)
Probably lore stuff, first impressions, and how hard he hits compared to the other bosses. Still pretty easy though.
I mean, look at this shit.

>don't lock-on
Fuck off, hitting the stupid bird's head was already hard enough
>>336211173
It's only popular because it 'looks cool'.
Mechanically it's a really shit fight.
lol the hardest part of this shitty fight is the stupid camera.
Thought the first phase really emphasized how shit the camera can be. Maybe I should have considered not locking on so much, but still.

Even when you don't lock on the camera still spins in circles when the dragon flies upward.
I completely missed this fight on my first playthrough, is that Ornstein?
The spectacle.
When broken down, every soulsborne osses can be summed up in rolling/dashing and attacking on their attack recoveries
what makes a fight good is how those attacks are paced and the spectacle itself.
Also is it just me or was the game balanced around faster weapon?

Nameless King. Gwyn's firstborn son apparently. Though Ornstein's armour does become available after defeating him.
>>336212306
That's been one of the main complaints since launch.
>>336212306
I think so as well. Its like longsword + shield type of combination was the way it was intended to be played.
>>336212396
>>336212407
For real. Sometimes I feel like there wasn't even enough time for the weapon recovery unless you're using smaller weapon.
>>336212306
it was. DS3 is just bootleg Bloodborne
>>336212306
>>336212507
Fast weapons were always an advantage in DS if you ask me. but It's possible with slow weapons. Just don't get greedy. I beat both of these bosses with the BKGA and I'm fine as long as I hit once.
Really hating these RNG follow-ups.
I enjoyed Nameless King, but not as much as Pontiff and the Dancer. I think players who don't have much experience with most bosses except Nameless King due to slaughtering them won't like other bosses nearly as much.
>>336212939
you should've seen that elbow coming, he telegraphed that for all of 0.5 seconds, git gud
One thing that really helped me with some of the faster bosses was to actually use the rolling attacks of some of my weapons. Great Machete and BKGS for example have really nice rolling attacks and it's faster to use them than to roll and then use your normal R1.

Champ is the most fun big-guy-in-armor boss this time around.
I wasn't sure if I was going to make it. I had 2 HP.
>>336211173
He looks cool.
>>336213767
>9 estus left
Wew lads.
>>336211574
I don't use lock-on, but I think that if the game has a lockon system. It should at least be made with lockon users in mind.
>>336213336
RNG dodge please :^)

>that excessive rolling
>>336211506

That if you hit B/Circleu can dodge attacks
