Rexoskell in Xenoblade X. Everyone talked about how she was the most difficult non-Tyrant boss in the game but I beat her on my first try. I got lucky because I happened to be wearing beam resistant armor but even if I hadn't been i would've figured out quickly that she uses beam attacks, so it wouldve only taken me one more try.
There was a casual filters thread yesterday with Ga Jiarg as the OP and most people were saying they either dropped the game at that point or hired level 60 BLADE scouts to do it. I think /v/ is just really bad at Xenoblade in general.

Yeah reading some of those comments back when it first came out was rough. People were so bad at basic stuff in the game. Its like they didn't even look at the manual.
I never really got why people had trouble with Zu Pharg either. Maybe they hadn't developed the flight pack yet? No idea why you'd wait though.
>>
>>340541250
Fun little fact: I beat Zu Pharg using only land combat, and furthermore did so before it broke any of Sylvalum's land bridges.

Granted I was grossly overleveled, had long since developed an Infinite Overdrive strategy, and had a topple locking build, but still.

I don't imagine it'd be too hard on ground. It was such a bonerkiller when you got a skell. Even the best one you could buy, if you built your character right you were about 10x more powerful than your skell.

he's not hard, the bubbles are just really fucking glitch sometimes thanks to the homing attack sometimes targeting bubbles that are farther away from you than your intended target.

>>340541080
Only hard because if you don't know how to parry you're fucked, and the game doesn't do a great job of explaining it.

Skells are hugely disappointing in general just from a mechanical standpoint, never mind in comparison to Overdrive.

They could have made them much deeper. As it stands they were really disappointing and, in some ways, even annoying.

>automatically engage flight mode literally any time you ever jump the moment you get access to it, no option to toggle this in settings despite having settings for 9001 other trivial things
>flight mode automatically turns off the current music for Don't Worry, starting from the beginning each time you jump, and the background track has to start over each time you land
>arts are based on weapon equipment, meaning you have to turn your mech into a visual clusterfuck to get a good art loadout, and you can't even customize your weapons' colours, and also to get a good art you have to grind a specific enemy over and over again to get the best damage version with the shortest cooldown, pure rng

smelter demon. first try, didnt even take half my health.
>>
>>340542857
Minotaur can be a lot of RNG. When he decides to open using the low accuracy party-wide attack, crits all 4 members, smirks, you're done. I think it's also impossible to go in with anyone resisting physical damage at that point in the game as well, so it's just a dice roll on which abilities he uses and whether or not he hits/crits/smirks with them. I've had him crit every member of my party even through 3 of the evade buffs. Then you've also got the additional RNG of which companion joins you and decides to spam the element he's strong against.

However, I'd argue everything after him is piss easy because you quickly become too strong to eat it in a single bad roll, outside of instant death of course. Which again, you at least get options to deal with.

>>340539485
>>340539560

What about without help? I couldn't figure out how to summon solaire on my first play through and it was a bitch trying to kill ornstein while smough spammed his charge attack. They aren't that bad but still can be real annoying and dodging those dumb giant knights before the fog gate doesn't help either.

How does quellag and centipede demon rank? I actually beat those first try so I'm not sure if they were easy like pinwheel or I got lucky.

Centipede you literally just hang out under his feet and 2hand. His jumping attacks hardly hurt, even in light armor.
>>
>>340540341
what the fuck
>>
>>340541765

This I mean Taurus demon you have to actually figure out to climb the ladder to jump attack but by the time you reach Capra you already know what to do and have a much better way of doing it since you can run up the stairs as opposed to climbing up and getting smacked
>>
Pontiff Sully. I killed him my first try on my first run and within 3 tries every run after. I died more to dragonslayer armour than sully.
>>
>>340539840
>People actually had trouble with Ga Jiarg
People are seriously this bad at Skell combat where the strategy is to just use the abilities as they're off cooldown?
I got through most of the fight without realizing that the rest of my party weren't actually in Skells for fuck's sake
>>
>>340544332

Idk ornstein would just walk around slowly and jump back when I'd strike while smough did all the work of chasing me around. Just smough the only difficult part is getting away from his thunder but slam but trying to kill his lazy friend first is a bitch.
>>
>>340541765
Once you figure out what to do, he's easy as shit. But if you don't have any idea what you are doing on a first play through he can definitely be a little overwhelming at first.

For me it was the 4 kings. I beat them on my second or third try easy. Literally just a DPS race.

Until NG+ anyways. Fuck doing them on NG+

Nameless 2 for me, Champ was a fucking breeze and I don't think I took a single bit of damage. Why was he considered OP again?

Beat Nameless King the first time I got to him, although used all available health resources.

>>340538768
Fume Knight

I rank above like Capra Demon and shit but he's at most an average boss that can heal himself. His design is the same fucking dude in armor with a sword, but his moveset is at least different.

Other than that he is statistically the boss with the highest kill count but I think a majority of people that died to him were either scrubs or just new to the series.

There's also Gascogine, so hard he apparently made people quit BB. Guy was pretty easy my first go. I couldn't get any parries but he was still a fun dynamic fight that was a great start to a pretty good game.

I guess the most recent one has to be Lothric Knights and how they were apparently scrub-stomping. Those guys were the only enemy that's been well-designed in the series. The rest are busted by circle-strafing.

I think many people were just too strong while the few people whining where a bit too low.
The only time I hade to actually learn how to fight the 4 nerds was when I did a SL 1 run, otherwise I just would zerg them down without ever realising what these guys can even do.
