Doesn't change anything. He has like 2 combos and one extra move that are all super easy to dodge and barely change when he flames up. Without the sword it just takes like 20 full minutes of wailing on him for the kill.

So it's a too easy gimmick fight or a super boring Vendrick without the Giant Kinship endurance test.

That's kind of the point. Souls usually paints these fabled beings that seem to be godly in terms of power but in reality aren't really as powerful as you'd expect and are completely off their prime.

Not so much Zeus himself but the bullshit fucking QTE event right after him with really short button prompts that are semi-randomized on each repeat.

The problem with gimmick fights is that they're only interesting once. I've gone up against every boss in 3 at least 3 times each, even more on the early ones, yet they still pull out moves I haven't seen before on occasion. It's not much, but it's enough to make the fight a bit more dynamic and enjoyable. Sif is my favorite boss from the series, and he's not hard, but memorable because of his lore. There's nothing interesting or fun about Wolnir, the Dragon God, Ancient Wyvern, etc. aside from their incredibly basic gimmicks. Once you figure them out in three seconds you can beat the boss a billion times easily because they're heavily scripted and linear, allowing for no creativity. Yhorm is probably the worst out of them all because there's actually a pretty fun boss there, but he's made a fucking chore to fight with anything except the Storm Ruler because MUH REFERENCES.

I hated the fucking shit out of the last phase of the Ares fight in God of War 1 because they threw out your entire extended move set and locked you to the giant statue sword and that made me fumble like a retard for about ten deaths, especially since if you fucked up Ares would regain at least half of his "health" easy.
>>
>>339669972
He's a chore to fight because they didn't bother taking the time to give him an interesting moveset. His first and second forms are almost identical with the exception of a higher damage output, and the only thing he did that caught me off guard in the 20 minute long fight was his stomp, which does no damage and doesn't even have a follow-up. He's not awful, but the Storm Ruler should've been an easter egg that you only see by completing Siegward's story line, and he should've been given a better moveset so he's not the most predictable thing in existence, or a reasonable health bar.

Wolnir is easily the worst fight of the game. It doesn't help that it's fucking RNG. They should have made a fight closer to the armored spider where there is just a scheme to get instead of just relying on DPS and sheer luck.

I don't understand the hate on the dragon god though. Yes there is no "creativity", but it feels like an old school puzzle boss and I still feel a chill in my spine when he spits his flames behind me as I pass. Same with ancient wyvern I like this fight.

Yhorm is not difficult. Hell the most difficult thing for me was figuring out how the sword worked but it still feels like a cool fight where you epically put down a giant mofo with a magic sword. The souls games take you so often the power from you than it feels refreshing when they make you OP for just a few secs.

I thought damage scaling was such a great addition to BoI, I'm surprised they didn't add it before. It really meshes well with a game entirely designed around unpredictable experiences and randomized items resulting in different strength runs. I especially enjoyed fighting his ten minute long boss battle as the lost, a character that can only take two hits at most. The best part about fighting as a character that can only tank one hit is towards the end of the fight, where he has an attack that forces the player to run through a bullet hell at sonic speeds, protecting a gigantic hitbox. Even touhou wouldn't ever dream of doing something like that, but that's just because touhou is too scared to force the player to slow down and really genuinely savour their steak.

But my absolute favourite part was that they decided to nerf the stopwatch shortly after introducing this boss, just so that none of those sneaky players could go and try to eat their steak a little quicker before the mold and rot set in.

>Wolnir is easily the worst fight of the game. It doesn't help that it's fucking RNG.
Guide to defeating Wolnir on any character easy peasy with no issues:
>Attack his right, your left, bracelet first since it's the one that will be obscured most by fog
>Destroy one on his left, your right, arm
>He'll drag himself forward, stay away from his hands and move backwards
>Hit his last bracelet while he's summoning
>He should never spit gas as long as you do enough damage to him, but if he does then just run backwards and wait, the hitbox on the gas runs out before it fully fades
You should never have problems unless you're doing a SL1 no weapon upgrade run or something.

>Yes there is no "creativity", but it feels like an old school puzzle boss and I still feel a chill in my spine when he spits his flames behind me as I pass.
My problem with it is that it's not a puzzle. You'd have to be literally retarded to not try hitting the rubble upon first walking into the arena since it's the only way to possibly go, and the whole thing feels really anti-climactic. It ends with you punching his chin until he dies for fuck's sake, it's so underwhelming for what was essentially the game's poster boy.

>The souls games take you so often the power from you than it feels refreshing when they make you OP for just a few secs.
I feel like there were better ways to do this than practically forcing you to use Storm Ruler by making Yhorm absurdly resistant to literally everything except it. Just make Storm Ruler an item you can earn by doing a normal puzzle or something, and make Yhorm hard but not tedious without it. That way smarter players are rewarded for their cunning, and players that want to fight him the old fashioned way don't have to either cheese him with headshots and viscerals or spend 20 minutes chipping at his toes.
>>
>>339670635
Oh! Right.

Useful. Terrible in group fights but 1v1 you'll take out just about anything.

Dogs will fuck you up since they're fast and run in circular motions though. You just can't cast fast enough, nor can your spells track well enough.

the context was unsaveable, but the gameplay wasn't. if his special attacks were twice as fast it would have been a really exciting fight. the problem is it takes him 10 years to cast by then you've rolled to him and smacked him in the face.

imlerith was better because his teleporting second phase kept you on edge, and as i explained above it really wouldn't have been difficult to import that to the eredin fight. also why the fuck does he have no dialogue?

I saw Molyneux at a Sainsbury's in Guildford yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I have no way of proving it but i think that the Profaned Capital is the most unfinished area in the entire game. It's barren, small (in actual gameplay area) and the positioning of enemies and genral layout feels very hastily put together, like Izalith did in DS1.

My theory is that if they had more time it would have been similar to Eleum Loyce from DS2, where you could fight Yhorm right away after entering the area but to actually defeat him you'd have to explore the Profaned Capital to find the Storm Ruler hidden somewhere first.

Gimmick fights and relatively easy but interestingly designed boss fights are far, far better than 'guy in armour with oversized weapon' fights where the entire core tactic is roll through 3 hit combo, hit them twice, roll through aoe, hit twice, repeat ad nauseum that DaS3 and 2 were so enamored with. I remember pretty much every DeS and DaS boss but despite playing the game just a month ago can barely remember the lackluster parade of guy in armours that DaS3 trotted out constantly. Which is a shame because some of them are legitimately decent bosses that just suffer from the fatigue of fighting functionally the exact same boss for the hundredth time.
