>>336471843
Obviously, only drooling retards summon on their first playthrough. Best boss is Twin Princes by the way
First try on my second playthrough.
I rekt his assSL 100
Took me 6 attempts and he nearly got me but my last strike was quicker.
>>336472113
>gay princes
>good boss
lmao
I really sweatted this one out. Was out of estus on 1/5th hp and got a 4 consecutive attack finish on him, while he was loading the attack which would have without a shadow of a doubt killed me 0.2 seconds later.
>>336471843
I beat every boss solo and blind on my first playthrough. Only way to play.
>>336471843
I did. But really I'll be honest.
This fight for me would have been much more fun than fighting CHAMP if it wasn't for the bad camera in the first phase.
The only way to circumvent that was to stay in front of the damn dragon and make sure you are locked on to NK.
Also, I had a little bit of a hard time in timing rolls for his 2nd phase in the first few times. Timing was kinda weird.
I beat him first try with no estus using only an un-upgraded dagger.
>Camera fucks itself if you lock on during first phase
Oh ok, guess I won't lock on
>Still can't see what the fuck I'm doing
I can't stop being shit and instantly dying second phase but I refuse to equip a shield

You sound insecure about your own sexuality anon
That damage he does in NG+5 is nuts. Summoning for him at that level is suicide, the damage buff he gets is enough to one shot you with pretty much every attack.
On a side note it was pretty funny to summon normal people in for that fight as they all blew up my inbox asking WTF NG+ i was on.
I did, it was fun.
>>336473619
To be f air it wouldn't have been a very exciting fight without the sword.
You'd just be there for like 30 minutes scratching off his paint slowly.
>>336471843
He's not even the hardest boss in the game lol
>>336473659
not as much as this guy >>336473258
Solo, unkindled and with a bigass machete.
You may only reply to this post if you are a wheelbro
best boss fight I've had

>>336473613
It's amazing how much this shield negates him. Even un-upgraded, if you manage your stamina, he can't do anything to you

It was a peace of cake and in endgame I resorted to invading
>>336473613
>using shields
First phase is really easy, just get the critical and never stay too close to them (otherwise they're gonna do that huge blast that does shitload of damage and it's unnecessary)
Second phase was your basic "just dodge everything" shit
Finally managed to beat him solo after being stuck at him longer than any other boss. I got so close a few times then saw some cheesey ways to beat him like using a bow in phase 2 or using >>336473613. Felt like it would be way too cheap and easy doing that compared to the intense close fights I had with him before. On the plus side though I'm a lot better after replaying the fight so many times. Never get touched in phase 1 anymore and almost got all of phase 2 down just dodging.
>>336474176
>hey guys I'm not good enough to beat him but here are some lame excuses
the stormdrake goes down ridiculously easy if you know what you're doing
>>336474306
What are you talking about. It's just a popular spot for people to drop red soapstones.
>>336471843
GOD EMPEROR?
Is there any reason to put points into END/VIT if you're not going for a dex build?
I use a heavy STR weapon so even at 30 END all my stamina is emptied after an R2 attack, and armor is purely cosmetic. VIG seems like a much better investment.
I'm a Dex build so I can't wield a shield that blocks fire, lightning, and physical. The camera is my biggest enemy really but I'm also only sl 70 cause I've kept it low for pvp.
Like a lot of the bosses in DaS3, the setting and two phases are awesome, but the attack patterns are pretty strange and hard to get used to. Any tips?
>>336474642
I could easily beat the storm drake. He just kept moving his head and drawing out the fight. this plus the input lag when fighting nameless made me think it wasn't worth it, only boss I summoned for and I wouldn't have done it if the Wyvern didn't take so fucking long for no damn reason.
>>336471843
I did in 27 tries. Best boss of the game. Along with champion Gundyr.
>>336474361
Why should one not use shields?
>>336471843
>TFW I had to play the game in offline mode and this cheeky cunt was able to 2-shot me.
One of the few times in the game I was glad I'd invested in the Dragonrider bow. Helped me get a few pot shots in on him here and there before he got too close and I had to switch back to melee.
>>336475505
as I said, the stormdrake goes down ridiculously easy if you know what you're doing, which you obviously don't
and what input lag are you talking about?
>>336475128

>>336475932
You hit the head, dodge under it for attacks, stay away from the flame thing. Again as I said I could take dis the drake while only getting hit like twice, it wasn't a problem. Only issue was how long it took even though I wailed on the face. On the ps4 there is considerable input lag while fighting nameless because of that damn arena eating up to many resources, you don't always roll when you clearly pressed roll.
I had 3 friends beat him. I did literally nothing. Can I still post here? Only hardcore players play dark souls games.

>>336476172
>dodge under it
just i-frame the attacks and punish everything it does, as long as your lock-on is on the king then it's a cakewalk
>stay away from the fire thing
when he flies up? because if he flies up then you're too close. if you're talking about the flame attack where it's on the ground then I'm concerned. you can literally roll through the fire and punish it to no end
>>336473945
Damm, that's a 10/10 fashion.
First phase was stupid.
>>336471843
King of storms was harder
>>336475737
Because in this game for some reason there are lots of medium and great shields that aren't 100%
Not tough to do. Only got hit consistently by his skewering grab because I fucked up the timing every time. Third attempt I got him.

>>336471843
The first phase was pretty ass to go through. Second phase made up for it though.
>>336476609
Yeah, the drake fight is boring and to long for it's own good. Not even challenging, but it just have to much health.
>>336471843
I beat him solo every time. First try on my most recent playthrough.
>>336476849
It's actually not that long if you're used to it.
But getting used to it was the shit part, especially with that stupid fire attack thing that was rip-off straight from DS2 ancient dragon.
>>336473613
I used it in the first part of the fight because the camera was shit and I just wanted it to be over, but it was easier to just unequip it and got gud in the second stage if the fight, since he drains most of your stamina if you turtle anyway.
I'm 33, between working full time and managing other things I rarely game as much but I've loved this game. My reactions are fucking terrible now though, I almost feel bad seeing all these threads, I....I used to be good guys
>>336477049
>Dragons uses fire attacks are how rip offs
Nigga
>>336477179
It is. Because you deal with it the exact same way you deal with Ancient Dragon's, which is sprint in the direction he's facing immediately after he fly up.
>>336471843
Ummmm 6thave try I think? Third try I figured out the Dragon. Another 3 to get all good timings down
>>336477367
By this logic is the ancient dragon a rip off of kalemeet because he also does that?

>Soul of Cinder
>THE PEOPLE'S CHAMP
>Twin Princes
>>336477990
Yes, I know. Been playing both since the begining. It's just that this boss and this setting in particular is really similar.
I don't get it, he's not that hard at all. He's actually one of the best bosses in the game in terms of difficulty, he seems really hard at first but he has obvious tells on his moves once you know what to look for, and it's satisfying to get progressively better and beat him after a few fights. I think the Pontiff is straight up bullshit though, I don't know how anyone could beat that nigger solo.
Who doesn't do all the bosses in a Souls game solo? A large portion of the fun is the challenge and learning the bosses, what's the point if you're just going to let someone else do it for you?
>>336475502
Phase 1, stay in front of the head and he'll attack with his spear. Getting under his feet baits the top down fire breath that you don't want.
Phase 2, his standard combo can hit three times. Don't try and get a hit after 2 even though you sometimes could. Guessing wrong means eating a lot of damage.
When he slams the ground with lightning, you can be pretty close to him if you're behind him. This is a good time to get damage. Also when he has lightning strike from above, Dodge just after his animation to not get hit. Stay close to him to follow up with some hits.
>People ACTUALLY used phantoms on their first time through

You mean the one from above? Like Kalameet in DS1?
I got summoned along with 2 other Phantoms to fight Dragonslayer armor.

>>336479094
Yeah, SL1 runs are common
>>336477610
My man, Ancient dragon's fire pulsed for like 3 hits and was an instant death every time, unless you had that ring that prevents back damage. Also required way more running and prediction. Nameless King's dragon does it at most 3x in a fight if you drag it on that long.
This fight wasn't bad. It's ancient dragon mini (even has way less hp) and a good melee fight afterward. More of a "refined" Ancient Dragon than a straight rip.
Who's harder, this boss or Demons souls maneaters?
>>336477668
#1 Nameless King
#2 Soul of Cinder
#3 Aldrich
I fucking hate Aldrich's habit of spamming soul spears while I'm already running away from the second phase arrow rain, but whenever it happens, it's so much FUN!

I've done a no estus run in all the games, if that's what you mean. Or do you mean SL1?
>>336471843
Just beat the dancer solo NG+ before reaching the undead settlement at SL 80
Conclusion:
The lock on camera is awful
Don't fight her if you're tired at 12am
She actually hits you less if you stay close to the door due to the elevated stairs
Heal often since a swipe from both her blades in succession can practically one shot
It took 5 tries before I went to bed last night.
Woke up this morning and beat her on the first try.
>>336478870
youtube, i want to see it myself, but i doubt its epic as you describe
>>336478323
Pontiff is deceptively easy. Literally just hold your shield up and strafe to the right. 90% of his attacks whiff and he's got lots of openings. Got him on my second try and I'm terrible at these games. Abyss Watchers killed me a dozen or so times in comparison

>>336481230

As in you can make either of their swords or if you have both of them you can combine them into a third sword?
>>336471843
He was pretty easy, not even kidding.
I just took a Dragonslayer Greatshield to the fight and blocked the shit out of his attacks.
You DID choose a strength build, right?
>>336481580

I also did this, I find it makes some bosses harder than solo because of the ridiculous amount of health they have and the unpredictability of who they'll swing for. Oceiros was absolute hell in his second phase with three summons because he'd just charge the entire room constantly and took like 10 minutes of solid swinging to bring down.
>>336481774

Diffrent anon here - not that I'm aware of but the fused sword. Is pretty decent for both pvp and pvm. The ability to use both of the swords skills allows you to really throw people off. The damage isn't insane or anything but it's not bad.

>took a gorillion attempts on my first playthrough with an UGS

It's insane how much of a difference your playstyle makes on that fight. His openings are brief so it ends up being much harder with slow weapons
Also he's one of the few bosses that's easier to fight at range
>>336482875
Twin Princes is a cinematic and powerful fight, but Champ is just balls to the wall craziness, fitting for an optional boss.

not true
No problem whatsoever. He's a fucking joke compared to any of the Old Hunter bosses from Bloodborne. Less than 13% of of the people who own the DLC have actually even beaten the first boss, Ludwig. Orphan of Kos and Laurence, the First Vicar both wipe the floor with the Nameless King in terms of mechanics and difficulty.
>>336471843
sup
>>336484179
This
Fume, Darklurker, Ludwig and Orphan are way harder, no question. NK wasn't even the hardest for me in DS3. His attacks are easy to dodge and punish. Only challenge is not getting hit by his birds fire breath, but even then it's not a ohko.
So what strats and SL did you guys use?
I spent ages using Chaos fire ball before i realised the range sucked and that meleeing the dragon was super effective.
I was able to take the dragon down within a minute with my chaos sword, then i just spammed dark fireball at the cunt while dodgeing his shit.

>>336485045

>>336485697
I think that explains why there are no mimics in Bloodborne. They placed them all in DaS3.
>>336482729
Been doing exactly this as well, gr8 plan
>>336473524
I was the same anon but Using a good shield will simplify him cause you can block some of his more damaging moves
>>336471843
I kept dying to the dragon.
As soon as i killed the dragon the king was a cakewalk desu.
>>336484179
I agree that orphan of kos is harder.
But Ludwig was around the same or easier for me, and laurence was a joke
Also, Laurence didn't have strong or well designed mechanics in my opinion, the only real difficulty in the fight comes from the ridiculous health pool and aoe's on nearly every attack after phase 2.
>>336471843
Beat him solo on my second attempt. Shocked myself by beating him on the first attempt when i came back in NG+
is it possible to get a +4 twinkling titanite weapon before pontiff, old demon king, and yhorm?

>>336488068
not the guy you responded to, but Monster Hunter is designed more with co-op in mind than Dark Souls is, so having massive HP pools on the monster, which is 99% of the time the only thing your trying to kill, makes sense.
Can't tell if you're trolling or giving your honest opinion about the HP pool being the ONLY difficulty. I think many monsters have harder to find openings in the sense that in MH you have to commit more to an attack than you do in DS. In DS, even with large weapons, if you attack late in an opening you still are often able to dodge roll out of a counter attack, where as in MH your stuck in your attack animation longer before you can move and the i-frames are much more forgiving in DS unless you're a scrub who uses Evasion.
stop acting like this is the hardest achievement in video games ever
if he didnt do ridiculous amounts of damage with every attack hed be a complete joke
>>336490365
>if he wasnt hard he'd be easy
>>336471843
Dancer and Gundyr were better bosses. Only problem those 2 had was the fact their HP pool was abysmally small compared to NK's.
For presentation though AW, NK, and Lothiric princes encounters were pretty hype, but not nearly as challenging as expected.

>to long
it isn't that long after a few tries, I manged to get the drake down within the first-second minute a few tries in

>>336471843
I killed him solo + calamity ring + without estus. I can give yt link if someone wants
I struggled a lot more with aldrich than any other boss.
Aldrich >12 tries
Soul of Cinder >2 tries
Nameless >4 tries
Champion Gundyr >1st try
Yhorm >1st try
Pontiff >1st try
Dancer >3 tries
For some reason Aldrich just fucked me up. for a while.

ever tried letting dorito pope do his black magic thing? I just walked around out of curiosity to see what his attacks were, and the area turned into a cruse ridden abyss

Anything to make yourself feel special, eh champ?
I'm a poor fag who pirated the game. I was enjoying my solo playthrough but a friends wanted to play with me. One asked if I wanted him to get the game for me and I said nah, because I had almost finished my first playthrough and only planned on fucking around after that.
He bought it for me anyway so I was then obligated to co-op the rest of the game. GG

Your friend sounds pathetic and lonely.
Someone desperate and sad.
This nigga so fucking easy when magic. Dragon died in 3 hits + the critical [crystal soul spear]
Actual boss is weak af to magic doing 882 per hit nigga died so quick. now just farming him for free souls

Jesus fuck man, might as well be SL500 LOL.
I get the feeling that boss difficulty in this game depends heavily on your build. What builds did you guys use? Not trying to start a "more hardcore than you" fight, (I used Carthus Curved Sword aka EZ) I'm just curious.
>>336492036
he was already playing with other friends, he just wanted to play with me as well, so I'm not sure what that was about.
And it's sad that they often made no progression without me, even when attempting to. The amount of random shit they died to was absurd. I understand dying to a surprise here and there outside of a boss fight, but these guys died 10x times just trying to explore an area.
Why are my friends scrubs?
This guy honestly isn't that hard. The dragon part is harder due to the fucking camera obscuring what he's gonna throw at you. His combos aren't that long, he telegraphs everything very obviously. He has long opening after attacks to get damage in. Honestly I thought the Lord of Cinder was way harder and even with him if you take the fight slowly you can chip him down with little risk.
>>336478870
IMO the song made that fight

Beautifully tragic
>>336491630
I've seen it happen to other people. Its funny how he punishes careful play and forces you to go wild on him

People with jobs who don't want to waste 10 hours fighting a boss with a faggy moveset
>>336492336
They have lives outside of computers?
>>336471843
Beat him first try. Telegraphed and slow attacks, no wonder he went nameless what a fucking joke. Just like his father lmao
>>336492451
NK definitely gives you more chances to heal than Cinder does.
This is the hardest enemy in the game. Prove me wrong.
>>336492986
Prove yourself right. Regular knights are harder than that thing.
I have Bloodborne and its the only Souls game i havnt played yet. After Bloodborne what other games are similar in terms of lore and atmosphere?
>Soldering Iron is my favorite looking weapon in the game
>The damage is pitiful and the Estus debuff barely does anything
>Can't even infuse it to try and fix the poor damage
It's pretty good for killing those slimes that are vulnerable to fire though
>>336492986
It's really weird. I killed the one on the bridge the first try, but the other two gave me a hard as fuck time.
>>336471843
i used havels shield to beat him solo, does that count?
>>336477668
>Nameless King
>The CHAMP
>Dragonslayer Armour
>>336473895
you know what's up
>>336493126
None. Just keep playing Bloodborne.

>take 20-25 tries to beat him with a +10 greatsword at level 80 without success
>give up and go to bed
>try using a +5 firelink sword on the second form the next morning and kill him on the second try
STR was a mistake.
>>336493176
From what I've heard, you're supposed to lure them to the ladder and do a plunging attack to stun them, then finish them off with a critical attack. But my game was bugged or something, every time I pulled one of them to the ladder, both got aggroed. Then when I dropped off the ladder and did the plunging attack it didn't register a special plunge. I just hit both of them and left me trapped.
>>336484179
This. Nameless is difficult, but Orphan gives me PTSD
>>336492986
>implying
That fucker was one of the easiest enemies I fought in the game.
>>336471843
it took me 15 tries and i ended up basically cheesing the second phase by using +9 lothric knight shield, but FUCK YOU I DID IT
>>336492986
those things are NOTHING compared to the well in bloodborne where you get the rakuyo
>>336492664
I have a job, I still enjoy the challenge and let's be honest there's no conceivable way a boss can take that long in a Souls game, I defeated him 4th try.
>>336493454
im going do gill him wib heaby strong aggs domorro :-DD :-D
>>336492986
This nigger is a contender
>fuckhuge range
>can one shot if your vigor isnt high enough
>all of his attacks ignore collision
>tracking out the ass
give him boss level hp and i'd wager he'd be harder than most of the bosses in the game.
>>336493420
If you can't get to the fog gate for the final boss without two phantoms
You're literally retarded.
>>336471843
I beat him solo, by the skin of my fucking teeth. I had 2 hp left at the end of the battle, and one estus flask I couldn't break away to use. The fight was literally, roll, roll, attack once, roll, roll, attack once. Repeated until he died. He just would not stop with his combos and letting him have distance was a death sentence. It took forever but I got him, reminded me of fighting Vendrick. 1 hit and youre pretty much dead, tons of health.
>>336492986
>Hit in the face once
>Stab in the chest once
Nah.
>>336493505
How... how did I not realize this?
I just fought them like a fucking man.
>>336493651
I'd say they have the potential to be harder. At least in the well you just need to have a Shaman Bone Blade
>>336471843
I summoned after ringing the bell because I didn't realize you could walk on the clouds and had no idea where to go at that point. I felt very silly
>>336493707
Yeah those big guys are annoying, but I think the greataxe version was harder. His tracking and his swing make it so pretty much anything he throws needs to be dodged or blocked and he never stops swinging.
What was the point of the messages saying shit would disappear after you ring the bell? Everything seemed the same just with fog.
>>336493707
fuck these cunts so much

I beat him blind first try without stormruler
My onion knight bro had one though and made the fight real easy
>implying any of the bosses were hard

Man, I kinda wish this was my first Souls game just so I could feel like a complete casual.
>>336494667

That's not exactly without the storm ruler now was it
Are there good lore videos for DaS1 and Das2?
When i played them i didnt give a fuck about the story but after BB which had a fucking awsome one i would like to learn the Souls ones too.
So, who was this guy? Ornstein? Why did he wear clothing with resemblance of Gwyn's?
Thats not saying much since the boss was so easy.
Easier than champ even
The hardest part about the boss was the camera
