i got half way through bloodborne im good. this games just cheap bullshit that requires you to be lucky.
>>337891870
>I randomly throw myself at bosses until they die
>>337892002
not at all how i play. if i did i wouldnt have been able to kill the fag in the cowboy hat in bloodborne by my tenth try. i have skills. a skilled player cant die to a boss forty times if its not luck based.
>Impossible to dodge
No, you're bad and need to dodge better
>>337892253
why make it personal bro?
I beat this boss on my second try in my first playthrough, stop being a dumbass
>>337892412
>i got lucky now i brag about it
>>337891559
you just suck, senpai
>>337891559
I beat him on my first time starting as a deprived. Maybe you're just not cut out for the souls series.
Are you trying to bait us, anon?
>No telegraphs or openings
Have u tried looking at him?
He literally does his same moves and the slug thing give it more reach or another hitbox.
>>337891559
>impossible to dodge
Nope. It's called rolling right.
>cant be parried
If you parry phase 1 the health gets so low you don't deal with phase 2 for long.
>attacks fuck your shield
Why are you blocking anyway?
>backpussy explodes into shitsnake
No it doesn't. Out of the 5 characters I've made he jumps whenbehind him too long which you just roll away.
>hits 360 degrees with all attacks
Nope.
>all attacks reach a mile with (s)hitboxes
No it doesn't.
>all attacks do almost half my health
Yes. I agree, they are easy to dodge though.
>has no telegraphs or openings
But he does.
>just spams attack after attack
nope
>shills will defend this
No, you're just an idiot, b8 or not.
>>337891559
this is the first boss. how can someone be so shit at dark souls?
i got him on my first try
>>337891559
>boss goes stuper sayin
>back-turd becomes enraged
>think actual real cool fight could be starting
>suddenly the camera is just a blurry glob texture and sounds of shield clanging

I have no idea what happened but im pretty sure it was dumb as shit. whoever designed that thing needs to be kicked in the dick. least the rest of the game outside of that spaztic dragon retard in the basement wasnt near that bad.
But it dies in about 10 hits. This boss is stupidly easy.
>>337891559
>he doesn't make use of the firebombs just outside Gundyr's arena

>>337892632
i beat half of bloodborne and everyone says thats harder than this shitty game. not my fault if the first boss is luck dependent.
>>337891559

No

No
>>all attacks reach a mile with (s)hitboxes
No
>>has no telegraphs or openings
No
>>just spams attack after attack
Ye, dodge
>>337891559
Is it even possible to lose this fight?
>>337891559
Yeah having to deal with a Pus of Man thing that early is a little weird, they're surpringly annoying to figure out what the shit their attack swings are actually hitting, particularly if you're close enough that the actual black thing is off screen. Far from impossible though, focus on dodging more than shields. You'll get that advice a lot for ds3, shields are shit unless you're going full heavy shield.
Get used to enemies relentlessly attacking you though, enemies have no sign of stamina restrictions, there's a lot of enemies that are 10x harder to deal with than they have to be because they can just keep on keeping on at you.
>>337892903
Every time you reply it's "luck'
this is now confirmed as a bait thread OP wants for his ebin reddit screenshot. Sage and Sent.
You can parry Iudex Gundyr's second phase.
>>337892903
>Iudex gundyr
>Luck dependent
What? he is a tutorial boss, he has clearly visible openings between movements, even in his second form.
It's just a little hard because you can't grasp when the black thing attack you due to its animation, but they both have idle movements.
tl;dr git gud
>>337891559
Learn to bait his jumping attacks, they leave him the most vulnerable.
>>337892892
i tried them their aim sucks.

The game gives you 5 firebombs. Maybe if you were smart youd notice fire staggers it.

>>337893430
i already said their aim sucks. shits useless if it doesnt hit anything.
>>337891559
I actually found his first phase way harder than his second phase.
>>337893513
It's literally an arch in a straight line
>>337893513
You must literally be retarded to miss a firebomb
Lock on. Do you see the size of your enemy, if you manage to miss with a firebomb while locked on, please never play this game again
>people are still responding.
>>337893575
goes right through the snot form.
>>337893585
Theres no other dark souls threads
posting in an ebin bait thread xDDD
OMG I can't stop laughing.
OP is either a troll or a fucking scrub.
This entire thread is gold.
>>337893430
I actually just started a new character a few hours ago and tried to use the firebombs this time.
Threw a couple, didn't seem to stagger it like the later ones, so I just went up and bled him to death.
First time I played it took me a while because I haven't played a Souls game since DeS and I thought it'd be fun to start Deprived, but he's really not hard if you focus on him and his movements specifically, and don't over-combo.
>>337893646
Stop shitposting and lying. Even when he's got the black snake shit on him he slowly walks towards you most of the time, and the mass essentially triples his hitbox.
get good. This was my first souls game and I killed the giant crystal lizard with a mailbreaker and sorcerer in melee after about 20 tries to train myself. After that Iudex was a complete joke.

>>337893820
Is using KB+M really a problem in DaS 3? I think it's fine.
Or maybe it's just that I have spent years playing DMC3/4 on keyboard.
>>337893761
it legit goes right fucking through it. threw two of them at the mongoloid form and he dodged one and ignored the other. went he went all shitty they went through him like he was a fuckin ghost.
>>337893492
you can simply push through the pus of man phase by spamming attacks mixed with random dodging and chugging estus, the second phase of dark version is just insane "foot in the face lmao shoulder bash topkek lockon 360 charge getrekt" with no downtimes, granted i was using an ultragreatsword, its probably easier to avoid shoulders and kicks with faster weapons.
>>337893820
>shitting on KB+M
This ain't DS1 anymore faggot.
KB+M is fine if youre not a bag of shit.
I'm not trying to sound leetist, I usually finish a souls game and don't bother with NG+ but I beat this boss on my first try although it was pretty hectic.

i really dont know how anyone has trouble with him, i've beat him first try on every run i've done, even my current run where i started as a theif - all you get is a bandit dagger

My aim*
Come on OP, I saw a drunk streamer women beat this guy after 2 hours and she never played a souls game before. Don't tell me you can't...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN0oQoovGnc
>>337894309
OP is retard but this webm doesnt show anything apart from the player getting lucky as gundyr wasted a lot of time doing nothing at all in his second phase.
>>337891559
Jesus Christ man, git fucking gud.
>Circle Strafe clockwise during phase 1
>Circle strafe counter-clockwise during phase 2
>Stay close to him
>DON'T GET GREEDY WITH ATTACKS
All of that took me three minutes to figure out.
Awesome first boss, though I do not like his phase 2 design.
>>337891559
i literally beat ludex on my first try, and i've died to most every other boss more than I should admit on this board. Champion is a fucking piece of shit though...
>>337894601
>die to Iudex 8 times
>kill every other boss first attempt save nameless and Lothric&Loreal
>>337894518
>gundyr wasted a lot of time
It's more like "the player didn't waste any time". Gundyr was killed so quickly that he couldn't do more than two attacks in the second phase.
>>337894735
I don't believe you
yet to die to Iundex or Champion
learn to dodge
>>337894792
I also took 3 attempts on the toho boss.
>>337894518
what you see in the video is ltierally 90% of the time what he does in his second form if you circle around his asshole
he also got staggered if you didn't notice so he is not "wasting time" you fucking scrub
>>337892147
delusion never ends.
the first boss never killed me most people on /v/ are shit at games which is why they have such bad taste
>>337891559
>Stand behind it
>it can't hit me
If you struggled with this boss then you should probably stop playing videogames
>>337891559
>Can't even beat the fucking tutorial boss
>>337894309
>mfw I never noticed he has a grey arm in his second form
>>337894950
im not talking about the stagger but the fact that he spinned in place and chose his most easily dodgeable attack that also leaves him open for long.
Literally the only time I ever died to iudex was when I tried going pyromancer, don't know what was different. Just bop him while he gets up and then spam firebombs when he immediately transitions after you take out half of his health when he stands up for two years.
>>337891559
I never played Souls before and I couldn't figure out how to defend against this guys second stage.
So instead I just beat the shit out of him before he could beat the shit out of me.
>>337891559
What class are you picking? Try picking Knight if you are this shit.
>>337891559
>impossible to dodge
I stopped reading here.
Make sure your first point isn't blatantly untrue before b8ing.
>>337894296
i had a similar experience but only because i was trying to actually do the fight, using the environment and taking out the clones
when i watched my friend do it he just retards in with a straight sword his guide told him to use and 1 shots it by mashing r1 and tanking the hits. I dont normally care if theres a cheesy way for people to do it, since summons exist anyway, but the retard way being the best was disappointing
>>337896305
Flawless Victory both on NG and NG+ for him. The trick is to keep track of him at all times. I ran through the fog wall trying to escape those fuckin wizards outside, saw the Sage, and halberd spammed him to death.
His clones will always spawn around him, so spam him down and then book it for the middle one when he spawns.
>>337891559
if you started as a knight and couldnt beat gundyr you need to end your life
i beat him as a deprived and i hadnt even figured out how to use weapon arts yet
>>337895863
theres classes?
>>337896614
im not retarded enough to end my life over a video game. the fuck are weapon arts?
>>337895687
he can't do anything when you are behind his back
>>337896724
This has to be bait.
In the character creator you can pick different starter classes that start you off with different gear and stats. Knight is the easiest class.
>>337891870
>half way through bloodborne
I hope this is bait, that doesn't mean anything.
>>337897082
i just went default. i didnt look at that crap.
>>337897085
getting that far in bloodborne is the hardest time ive ever had in a video game. fuck you it doesnt mean anything that shits ridiculous.
>>337897196
>getting that far in bloodborne is the hardest time ive ever had in a video game
The first half is not bragging rights, whether you play easy games or not. They intentionally make the game easier in the early segments.
becom good at hte Video Game reterd -_-
>>337891559
I came back to dark souls for this game after three years and only beating half of the first one. I beat this boss on my second try. It isn't as hard as you're making it out to be.
>>337897280
i dont even play easy games. first half of bloodborne was so hard i hit a point where i just couldnt anymore.
>>337897406
>i dont even play easy games
If you couldn't get further, yes, you play easy games.
>>337897196
>I beat half of this game so I know Im good
The hardest shit isn't in the early half thats nothing to brag about.
When you say your age do you still say 14 and a half?
>>337897196
Default class is Knight. You are shit. Fucking get good at the game.100% confirmed for bait.
Hey is DS2 DLC worth buying?
>>337894792
I have a similar experience, the rest of the bosses were easy enough to rap my head around, but once Iudex transforms I have no idea what the fuck is going on. I completely cannot tell when to dodge or block, so I just mashed and hoped for the best. Similar story for Pus of Man enemies, I literally have never killed on after their transformation.
>>337897406
>>337897196

>>337897557
pretty much all dark souls threads start with "literally impossible" on some silly boss
>>337897509
Yes, it's better than the base game.
You may be able to get the Scholar of the First Sin edition for cheaper than all the dlc for the base game, in which case do that, because SotFS is much, much better than the base game.
>>337897462

>Can't be parried
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKo9eMsyjgU
>>337896601
yeah had no trouble after the first playthrough. just going in blind, the boss just felt like it would reward thoughtful play since you could take out the clones with a bow safely, I was just being too defensive
>>337897535
thats weird bro ;O I find all the "aldritch" enemies to be easy to dodge, yet i die to every other attack
>>337897747
did you only finish half of those games too? or were they quarter finishes?
>>337897937
finished all of them. except dmc because i had no idea what the fuck to do on the last boss.
>>337892903
Then why don't you just pick the class with the highest luck stat? If the boss is clearly dependent on how much luck you have and luck is literally a stat, then why don't you just take as much luck as possible?
>>337898718
The guy can't even beat him as knight. You expect him to beat him as thief? Then again he has to. It is based on luck I guess?
>can't be parried
Both phases can be parried you fucking mouthbreather.
>>337893906
You can just parry him to death with a caestus, he actually becomes very easy with that technique. Well, except the foot in the face anad that shoulder bash. I fuckin' hate that shoulder bash.
>>337898865
Well, if the fight is obviously based on luck and the game as a luck stat, then isn't it quite an obvious answer?Yes, i know that the luck stat isn't really a luck stat, i myself beat Iudex on my first try as the knight class.
>>337897878
desu some of these bosses shouldnt be parryable at all, or at least without taking some damage.
i understand the whole git gud lrn2parry shit but this is overkill. i mean maybe have some parryable but only do dodge an unblockable or something
none of this riposte a giant in his/her groin
>>337891559
Get close, strafe, slash, win.
What is that thing though ? Never explained by lore
you're retarded if you think souls is luck dependent and not skill based
my little 12 year old brother managed to kill gundyr at his 4th attempt, and that was his first time playing souls
>>337901471
thats proof its luck. he got lucky. no 12yo whos never played before would get this that fast if it wasnt. you just proved my point.
>>337891559
first try,
next
Don't know who OP is talking about but this guy is literally impossible
>>337891559
I did not have a hard time with this fight.
>>337891559
I beat him on my first try and I never managed to beat demon souls and only managed to beat bloodborn without ever having a deep understanding of it´s mechanics.
he really isn´t so hard.
just try to get behind him and finish him off with a firebomb in case he knocks you away.
>>337891559
>impossible to dodge
Then use a roll You collosal cock sucking faggot
>>337902735
what does my love for dick have to do with anything?
But the boss is so easy, really do not know how some people have problems with it. By contrast , the pontiff , is much more difficult if you're already having trouble with this then will cry as reach the pontiff .

>>337904384
To be fair, for a new comer to souls, the fight is very unintuitive. I was trying to block, parry, keep distance and look for opening for at least 7 times until I finally decided to google "ds3 first boss". The very first thing said "get close and just hit him" - killed the next attemp without a problem and much less effort than before
>>337892147
someone went a little overboard with the bait there.
how the hell do you get up there?
>>337905815
why are you two-handing a shield
>>337905267
To add, Dark Souls reputation for being hard games actually makes them harder then they are. You read all this shit online about dying constantly and it being a super hardcore game and then you play cautiously, expecting the game to fuck you up around every corner and throw smart, tough enemies at you. Which is not really true, and playing like that instead of just rushing in and chopping shit down makes the game a lot harder

Every single webm.
If you stay as close to him as possible, the black goo can't hit you and you're only exposed to Gundyr's halberd which now can't even aim at you half the time.
>>337891559
