Not only is this boss fight impossible it's fucking RNG based. If he uses that raining arrow spam bullshit repeatably you literally cannot win the fight. How did FromSoftware fuck up this badly?

Except you can easily dodge the arrow rain and go in for another hit. Even if he spams it.

I actually love how every Dark Souls boss is different to every player.

For instance - I beat the Pontiff on the first try. It was hard, but I did it. On the flip side, Oceiros took me a shitload of times and I'm pretty sure he's considered one of the easier bosses.

>>
>>336294002
It took me a few tries.
You have to attack his tail, stay behind him, stay on him.
When he goes fire, just dodge a little more, and run around in a circle when he does arrow spam.

If you get one decent cooperator you can do it in one shot.

Just wait until you get to the Dancer. If you don't get good by then, oh man.

He's pretty easy once you learn his moves. For the arrows, just run around until they end. Casting takes a long time so you should always be able to spot it
>>
>>336294356
This
As soon as the staff comes down when Aldritch is preparing to teleport (which is your cue to get the fuck away from it), you need to be scanning the corners of the room to see where it'll spawn, immediately run to it as close as possible so it doesn't shoot the arrows - and again if it does, just keep circling around it and it'll eventually cast the arrows in the wrong direction. The trick is so keep moving, stay close, and get a few attacks in then let it teleport. Rinse and repeat.

For the first arrow spam just dodge to the left or right of the path.

For the second just dodge inside the arrow spam towards Aldrich and let a couple of them hit you. The arrows will move along and you'll have a clear path to the boss.
>>
>>336294002
I am the worst souls player and I soloed this lard tard.
>>
I think the difficulty of Aldritch depends entirely on what attacks it decides to do.
There are times when it just kinda stands there and does nothing or only does the melee attacks that are easy to dodge.
Then there is more of a worst case scenario where it fires the arrows, shoots soul spears at you or swings with lifehunt scythe while you are running from the arrows, then teleports away before you can hit it and fires arrows again /rinse repeat until you are dead.
>>
>>336303074

Terrible advice, disregard this. Getting hit is dumb and constant rolling is a waste of stamina.

Just run around in large circles during arrowshowers. Run towards Aldritch as it ends. If he does his melee attack just roll through that bitch and slap him a few times. When he starts casting go to the middle and repeat. You'll never get hit. Just don't be greedy and you'll be fine

You can dodge into the arrowspam and take the hits? That sounds like instant death to me, not sure how strong your character was when you did this?

It''s weird. I beat Pontiff on my 3rd try, beat Aldrich on my second, beat the Twins on my first. Abyss Watchers on my first as well.

Yet I lost to the goddamn dragonslayer armor like 10 times and the Nameless King even more

>>
>>336304561
I'm sorry man but that's bullshit. There's no way to see those arrows coming the first time, that boss is a true trial and error, at least one death. Unless you watched videos and studied his moves, the world knows you're lying.
>>
>>336299736
What level were you supposed to be? I did Yohrm and whole profaned capital before The trap devourer.
>>
>>336304859
I honestly never got hit by his arrows. I put 18 into stamina and could easily i-frame and Dodge roll my way around it.

That said I did die exactly as I beat him if that's any condolence, but the game counted it as my victory.

This is how Aldrich shitters sound to me.

>>336304776
That doesn't count bro, don't worry. You did it in one imo

The arrows in the first phase are easy, you just run behind him. The 2nd phase is a bit annoying but it's possible to outrun most of it if you get far enough away.

Is there a way to do normal damage to him? My best weapon was just bouncing off of him the entire time, barely touching his health bar. He isn't particularly hard but I didn't want to play that shitty game of attrition with him.

In the first phase the arrows go in the direction that Aldritch shoots them so you can just sidestep it, in phase 2 they follow you around wherever you go for like 10 seconds.
If you didn't know that was coming then he either didn't do that attack or you guessed correctly to sprint in circles to avoid it first try.

You're not supposed to start bossfights by charging into them and spamming R1. I spend the first few minutes of a bossfight watching their moveset and just dodging stuff. Aldritch isn't that complicated, you can dodge the arrows and purple darts by simply running around. By that point in the game you have about 10 flasks so there's a lot of room for failure unless you get caught in an arrowshower

Literally just rolled around him in the second phase when he shot arrows while holding my shield up and never got touched. By the time the arrow spam finished I was in prime position to whack his tail and still close enough that he'd most likely default to a melee attack or teleport away for his next move.

No summons. I made it my mission to do Bloodborne DLC with no summons, and I'm trying to continue the trend for DS3 (although I did summon for Dragonslayer Armour). Only just started Archdragon Peak, and I've yet to go to the Kiln so we'll see how I get on there.
>>
>>336304859
I had no problems dodging the arrow rain because I was still in the Bloodborne mindset of "roll to dodge everything" even that late in the game.

It was only when I got greedy when he constantly killed me though.
>>
>>336306975
You're doing good for your second time no summoning.

My first time no summon was back in DaS1 and smores/oreo kicked my shit in for a solid hour until I got gud.
I haven't summoned once in BB, DaS2 or 3 and it feels so much more exciting.
>>
I guess I got lucky, but Aldrich took me 2 tries, Wolnir I beat while going in with 0 Estus.

Meanwhile Pontiff seems impossible without summons.

Currently trying to git gud against Nameless King.

Not gonna lie, I summoned a LOT for the first two games. I'd give it a good try, but then I'd just get impatient. Since Bloodborne I've tried to git gud, even if that did involve about twenty attempts at the Orphan of Kos.

I have more problems with the trash though. Genuinely got angry at the knights on the rafters in the Cathedral and the sheer fuckton of silver knights before Anor Londo. Just that fucking moveset really, especially the cheeky shield bashes.

>>336294002
>If he uses that raining arrow spam bullshit repeatably you literally cannot win the fight.
Just put up a shield with good magic defense, and you'll barely take damage from it. I know everyone wants to be a cool guy and not use a shield in Dark Souls, but it really helps sometimes.

>>336307715
I got to him this morning, he doesn't seem too bad, he's like Orphan.

It's essentially a dodging fight. If you dodge the wrong way, you're fucking dead. I just kept instinctively dodging left/right instead of toward him for the thrust attacks.

It sucks though, it feels like he can hit you mid-roll.

Not that guy but dancer and aldritch gave me the same level of difficulty. Died to them twice.

Aldritch can be cheesed by just hugging its tail and then running when shes about to teleport. The arrows got me the first time but was pretty easy to dodge after.

Dancer is slow and I only had to swing at her butt to avoid grabs. When she enters second phase, her dark aoe attack is nearly guaranteed to be followed by her spin which is easily telegraphed. I just avoid the dark aoe and spin since those are guaranteed deaths and I just poked her butt with the leo ring powered astora gs r2. Dead dancer, dead aldritch.

When you've been playing souls since DeS, bosses like Yhorm are a cakewalk. And easy to do blind since profaned capital is as linear as can be. I have not died in NG until I came to Irythyll and fought Pontiff knights and Sulyvahn.

It took me a lot of tries, but he is beatable. Just keep rolling when the arrows come down.

Aldrich is easy as fuck, son. He barely do shit if you get in melee range.

Deacons.

Pontiff Sulyvahn
Old Demon King. (although Stray demon killed me once because of that rapid shit throw hurling me off the bridge)
Yhorm.
Ancient Wyvern
Dragonslayer armour.
The Champ.

Very nearly goddamn almost the Soul of Cinder as well, had plenty of estus and got greedy, caught by his combo, and died with him having a few pixel lines of health.


Top 3 amounts of deaths (non-specific figures, didn't keep track) were Oceiros (seems to be pretty unique to me, but whenever I got underneath him in his second form, I'd actually get stuck and he'd insta-hit me with his charge where I couldn't move away fast enough while he did his clawing spree, and more than a few times I'd get one-two'ed by his flying breath-drop where I must have kept being too far away.

Nameless King can still go suck dicks. Only boss I had to genuinely git gud. Also failed to realise me dodging underneath his first phase kept triggering the instant death breath attack.

Lastly, and entirely me sucking throughout, but Lothric and Lorian. First phase was fine, but between me forgetting about his magic blast which always followed his blade-beam, and always getting caught out with his uppercut, I'd always get outlasted rather than outright crushed. More than a few deaths, only maybe one where I had estus left. That and I was so confident at my methods that I kept using my slow-ass clubs rather than my faster weapons, and as soon as I did, things simplified greatly.

>Soul of Aldrich, One of the twisted souls, steeped in strength. Use to acquire many souls, or transpose to extract its true strength. When Aldrich ruminated on the fading of the fire, it inspired visions of a coming age of the deep sea. He knew the path would be arduous, but he had no fear. He would devour the gods himself.

Hey guys, just wanted to stop by and say I'm glad I pirated this garbage. Pvp is the most janky horseshit I've ever experienced. Story is LITERALLY a carbon copy of DaS1 but with embers. Gameplay is the most tedious uninspired trash I've ever seen offering nothing new to the table. Have fun discussing the blunder of the century.

That's normal to be 2 hit from them

They're decent enemies

I just roll their main attacks and hit them with a UGS as they're recovering. Takes 2 evades, with 4 hits with a +8 UGS.

I'm hoping they make an actual impossible boss in the DLC (optional).

Not that guy but what's the appropriate soul level for that? I think I second tried him with a +5 claymore at SL45-50. Something like that

One shot:
Index gundyr
Vordt
Dancer
Dragon slayer armor
Ancient wyvern
Pontiff
Oceiros
Soul of cinder
Demons king
Yhorm

Two shot:
Tree
Deacons
Abyss watchers
Wolnir
Crystal sages
Aldrich
Princes

Most of those deaths were because the boss introduces a new mechanic that's not standard. Wolnir kills you if you get to close to his body. Abyss watchers introduces more enemies halfway through. Deacons 1 shots you if you take too long. Stuff like that.


I think the only other boss that's left is nameless king and he took me at least 8 tries. Hardest boss for sure.

Used the ring and got good. I dunno how much it helped but considering it felt like he hit during rolls I don't feel too bad.

The arrow rain really isn't that common, and it's easy to evade if you see it coming. You literally just run to the other side of the room. Sometimes it stops chasing if you go around a pillar.

finally did it, chipping away with my warpick for 150 a hit

How exactly do people have trouble with the arrows? On my first time killing him blind I was having trouble in melee so I backed off and started pelting him with kukris. I actually loved it when he would use his arrow move because it would mean 2 clean kukri hits while he charges it up. The thing was easy as fuck to dodge, even the first time I ever saw it. I literally just dodged right, then forward, then left, then back in a big circle.

>You literally just run to the other side of the room. Sometimes it stops chasing if you go around a pillar.

It has a timer for how long it chases you, then after the timer stops the arrow rain continues to the edge of the room in the direction it was last going.

To clarify the exact AI behind it.

Just use the boulder pyromancy. It does physical damage and staggers him every other cast. It's extremely easy to kill him with that.

Certified easy bosses
>All of them
Really, all the bosses are easy once you know what they can do and how to exploit it.
I though pontiff was absolute bullshit, but once I learned him he's easy.
I beat the champ first try because the only attack that will catch you is his kick and only if you're greedy.
It's literally possible to beat most bosses without rolling, blocking, parrying, or healing.

It's the boss I used to farm sun-medals for. It's the easiest one of the "later half".

One of the things that bothered me about De/DS1 was the "you don't need health, poise or any other defensive stat because roll makes you invincible". I've no problem with clutch rolls, those always feel great, but I think a RPG should strive to make every stat equally useful, no some technically useless. Needless to say, I don't like that they removed poise.
