The most satisfying souls boss ever?
*boring
Beating this guy made me cum
>>334470527
Easy doesnt mean boring. Tell me you didn't enjoy spinning your way through them all.
>>334470668
Kinda but I was disappointed when some difficult badass mofo didn't spawn after the waves of mobs
It felt like I was playing dynasty warriors.
>>334470437
So i killed these cunts and went out and up an elevator. Fucking got outsmarted by an onion. Anyone know how i now cross that bridge that deactivated.
>>334471040
Is that bad?
>>334471182
I guess it depends on if you like dynasty warriors.
>>334470437
That's not Soul of Cinder. Gwyn finally getting gud and gaining Chaoshander Giantdad powers was the perfect way to end the series.
Oh you thought you won? TIME TO DIE.
>>334471748
>Implying that was fun
>>334471882
>it wasn't
I literally cheered when i finally killed it. Died a lot though.
And just let me add.
Best fucking soundtrack as well.

second phase was fun as fuck and made you git gud
first phase was boring rng trash
how's the difficulty later in the game?
I've just beat the curse rotten tree and the boss difficulty is underwhelming.
There were some encounters with normal enemies that were hard but the bossfight difficulty makes me sad so far.
Will they get any harder?
>>334472192
yes
>>334472192
Yes. Very much so.
>>334472192
The point is not being hard. Else you fall into what 2 did, hard for the sake of being hard. Just interesting, fitting and challenging.
But answering, some are hard as fuck, but all accounts to you. All are great though, independent of the challenge.
>>334471748
>>334471952
The first phase is more challenging than the second, you may as well start cheering when you beat the three fucks because the single fuck loves to leave himself wide open all day.
>>334472059
how is it rng? the second watcher is enemy, the third is friend, the fourth is enemy, the fifth friend and so on
Patch when?
I feel like this game consumes more fucking resources than it has any business using. Sometimes when I tab out to open browser to look at weapons I haven't found yet, I either can open the browser with a bit of slowdown, or can't do anything at all and my PC starts shitting itself because the game is consuming monstrous amounts of memory.

>>334472484
For me the challenge was rethinking how to play and spamming R1 instead of actually dodging.
Pontiff Sullivan, Nameless King, and Lord of Cinder were probably the 3 most challenging bosses for me.
Nameless King took me the most attempts though.
>>334472484
It's just the relief man. You're on the edge through the whole fight.
>>334472538
I'm positive there's an issue with memory leaks.
My game ran fine for the most part, but as I continued playing, I'd reach points where my game would sometimes freeze solid for 3-4 sec then continue, and then perform worse after that, and would have to quit and reboot the game.
>>334472395
Are you implying that Dark Souls 3 didn't fall into what 2 did? The game dumps armies at you in a desperate attempt to be difficult. The entire game consists of this shit. If you thought Dark Souls 2 was being difficult just for the sake of being difficult, then I have no idea how you can avoid thinking the same thing about 3 while being honest with yourself.
How do I fight the nameless king? I hear everyone talking about it. I've already beaten the game
>>334472531
They are all enemies.
>>334472752
The difference between 2 and 3 is that 3 doesnt take place exclusively in tight, narrow, claustrophobic environments the entire game. You have ample room to navigate and manage larger groups of enemies.
I've only died to groups a few times due to my own recklessness. Can honestly say there were way less "bullshit" enemy placements in 3 than there were in 2.
>>334472752
It's completely different from DaS2. It's all in the map design and enemy placement.
Everything in this game can be antecipated. All those gank squads you say are 99.5% of the time, enemies that dies fast and can the gank can be seen if you pay attention to your enviroment.
You look up, you see those thiefs on the walls. You look around corner, you see a weapon pointing out. There are hands on the walls, telling you an enemy is hanging. Every single gank can be antecipated. It's a whole different thing from 2.
>>334472917
Narrow, claustrophobic environments lend themselves well to dealing with groups since you can lead them around the environment until they're properly spaced out and attack them like that. More open, barren environments often end up with you running away from 2-3 enemies that stick near each other with no way to seperate them short of running back to a different area. Also unlike 2, you're constantly getting blasted with arrows or magic while dealing with groups, especially in the later areas. Seems like the developers simply don't know how to make decent challenges for experienced players without doing that.
>>334471439
If I was Myazaki I would have added a third phase to the final boss that only appears on NG+99 that turns him into Giantdad with "Well, what is it" gestures whenever he pancakes you (every hit) and whenever he kills you you get sent a PSN message from FromSoft that just says "THE LEGEND NEVER DIES!". Plus the music from OnlyAfro's video
Just to see if it ever got found. Also keep it exclusive to console versions so it can't be found by datamining.
>>334470593
I had to go kill myself before going to fight him because I looked like this.
Serves me right for just randomly using items to see what they do.
>>334470527
The music prevented it from being boring.
>>334473250
ur dumb
You should have fought the guy that sided with the dragon as one.
>>334473023
Enemies die fast but they also attack and move fast while also often having those messy combos or delayed swings that are harder to read. Dark Souls 2's enemies died slower but were very easy to read so the combat was less about getting the first hit in and then stunlocking enemies and more about knowing their moves and dodging. Also being able to see those little goblin fuckers won't do you much good when you're assaulted by arrows and suicide hollows.
>beat game
>start new game as thief named ThunderousQueefs
>have fun invading people with a +1 scimi
Wrecking spirits and then watching as the host panics and freaks out is so satisfying.
>>334470527
I thought it was actually quite intense. Really felt like fighting army of fanatics and music was good. At first I thougt it´s gonna be rat vanguard 2.0 but I enjoyed it
>>334473120
good thing a meme loving faggot isn't the game director then
>>334472837
If you leave the third one to his vices he'll only attack the other baddies.
>>334472192
I'm at exactly the same point as you. In the next part watch out that you don't accidentally walk into the Crystal Sage boss. I just made that mistake after clearing the fuckin swamp and walking in without filling up my health and got instagibbed by some sort of AoE blue ice rain.
This guy is pretty good.
Also, holy shit leveling HP is essential in this game
>dying to most bosses like a bitch
>threads where people are reporting few deaths
>I've played through DaS1+2 on multiple NG+ levels and this shit is fucking me over
>finally get someone who explains they put like 10 more points into HP than me
>do the same
>suddenly all bosses afterwards are easy and I beat them in 1-2 tries each
if you haven't already done so, level that stat.
>>334473515
>Cathedral of the deep
>See a really big room with item at the end of it
>Cautiously walk in, look around the walls but see nothing
>Nice item for free
>Turn around
>Wolf spider out of nowhere
I´m not complaining tho. I was legit scared
>>334471748
>tfw didn't die on that boss at all
>tfw just parried him 3 times
>ctrl+f "Fume Knight"
>0 resultsit's Fume Knight
>>334473023
>It's all in the map design
Yes let me go from Catacombs to Lothric without warping.
Oh wait it's exactly like DaS2 with garbage linear world design and 0 interconnection
>But you can use an elevator to go back 5 minutes in the level.
Let me know when I can travel like DaS1
>>334474313
>figured it was a trap
>try looking at the ceiling
>the ceiling has no texture
>spider dog appears out of nowhere
>panic
>hit it once
>it has no poise or health
>i mana to knock it over or something
>perform a bloodborne visceral attack on its head and kill it
>>334472817
Kill consumed king
Get dragon gesture
Go to prison area
Find that balcony with corpses sitting
Perform dragon gesture
Wait
Profit
>>334474457
Fume Knight is easily the most satisfying.
He's tricky but his patterns become readable and fair.
He has two swords, the big one is slow and the small one is fast so you can anticipate how fast his attacks will be but it mixes it up throughout the fight.
You learn that his widest swing goes behind him so you know to roll towards only one side when he does it.
Some DaS3 bosses are harder, but mainly because they're just super fast with their combos, you feel like you're learning a lot less in DaS3, it's like you're persisting but not improving.
DaS3 kind of went in the opposite direction of DaS2.
All the enemies have so little health and deal so little damage compared to DaS2, and although they often appear in groups they don't fucking notice you unless you sprint up to them. I've been kind of annoyed to find I can backstab some dude and an enemy 6 feet to my right doesn't notice or care.
>>334474661
Let me guess, beginning of Undead Settlement? It won't last long.
>>334474808
Just beat high lord wilson.
>>334474808
it's still like that in Boreal Valley and Lothric
>>334474872
Next area will be more to your liking
As in absolutely infuriating holy shit why are they all such big faggots stop spamming you cunts.
>>334472752
3 has tracking nearly as bad as 2 ON TOP of throwing enemies at you with infinite stamina and ridiculously flashy, misleading animations that often send them hurdling out of control in your general vicinity.
Honestly, as much as I like it? I really prefer Demon's or DaS2 to 3. 3 just feels like Bloodborne 2 + Souls fanwank. Miyazaki is a hack.
>>334475020
>3 has tracking nearly as bad as 2
I disagree, also the hitboxes are much better and I've yet to be hit by any shockwaves.
>>334471748
>literally 0 poise
Died like a bitch after getting stunlocked 4 times.
>>334475020
I prefer 3 to 2 easily but mostly because the area/enemy/boss designs and the overall atmosphere carry the game. Oftentimes it's unfun in a way that not even the worst areas in Dark Souls 2 were. The playtesters must have REALLY liked the combat. Don't know why else they'd think it's fine to expect a normal player to have the patience to deal with the absolutely insane amounts of enemies the game throws at you.
>>334475165
the Dancer grab hitbox is fucked, it really fucks you over if you haven't invested in HP.
>>334475445
dancer is cute
CUTE
>Butcher Knife+3
>pontiff's left eye
>evil eye ring
>weapon art activated
HE'S HACKIN AND WHACKIN AND SMACKIN
HE JUST HACKS, WHACKS, CHOPPIN DAT MEAT
>>334475512
yep, great boss.
I hope they patch it to fix the grab though.
>>334475558
when will the posting lyrics meme die?
I mean for real, it's 2016.
>>334474476
>but m-muh dark souls 1!!!
people like you are the worst
>>334474218
Why was Oceiros so easy?
>>334475165
>also the hitboxes are much better
They aren't, you just don't notice because you have an enormous amount of iframes when you roll. You have maybe 4 times as many as you did with 18 adp in 2.
>>334470437
>>334476425
not as easy as Ornstein the fucboi.
>>334473087
An "experienced player" shouldn't struggle with those. Strafe or roll to avoid ranged attacks? Move in and out to hit and move out of their range? You don't need to separate them at all if you have any idea when to hit.
>>334478002
>An "experienced player" shouldn't struggle with those
Yeah, that's the problem. They're not even difficult enough to be engaging, you're just going through huge groups of enemies on autopilot after a certain point and it feels incredibly tiresome. It's a desperate attempt to challenge players, and it even fails at being challenging.
>>334470437
I thought Mr. Dark Souls was a pretty great final boss.
Nameless King and Abyss Watchers were also fun
>>334472192
My patience was really wearing thin by the end.
The optional areas are fucking horrible, not a lot of point in doing them unless you're a completionist and want all the items and achievements.
Lothric castle is full of annoying assholes who deal absurd amounts of damage, mainly the red eyed knights
