Does anyone know a tech for messmer? Like punishing attacks that does not look punishable or better ways to dodge his attacks

arena bad make sad

He fucking prefired it to where i was gonna go. And it wasn’t the fire breath where he goes left to right. Its the one he’s meant to shoot straight at you

It's a chill boss, but i'm sure it can be done much faster, & in cooler fashion. 3rd phase is a bit too much fighting in front of her, cause the aoes of the slams hit too easily. If i can 1st try a boss by doing X at this level, then i def will. +10 pistol with just base tinge, the damage adds up, & is a nice clutch for some stuff.

This boss is so much fun, because of all the strafes that you can do. Hitting him is a bit jarring when you bounce off.

SL -44 is the blank state of a DS2 character who has not yet been created. Prior to character creation, all characters have no name, and 1 in every main stat. This state can be preserved indefinitely by using a glitch to bypass character creation.

After having done DS2 and DS3 on SL1, I have Manus and Gwyn left and that will be the trilogy. I'm surprised by how easy Artorias and Kalameet were, the endgame bosses in other games are much more difficult.

Fun fact: the dude outside the building can aggro during the runback

Thats my fav game of all time but i couldnt do the BL4 with 30 fps and the disgusting frame drops

Finally the game got ported to PC after 11 years and I took my chance and finish the game BL4

Ill hop into the dlc now I hope that kos doesnt make me pregnant.

Wish me GL T_T

what do yall do when fighting starscourge radahn

finally beat him

i hate this fight

What a fantastic boss fight! Going back through all these old bosses at SL1 has given me such a deeper and more rewarding appreciation for these games instead of overleveling and just slopping through them like I did years ago. I honestly think the next fromsoft game I won’t level at all. Just play through on SL1 from the jump.

As far as dragons go I’ll rank my top 3 based on difficulty, spectacle, and fun:

1. Sinh
   
2. Midir
   
3. Kalameet

Impressive damage without Lightning Slash. Strange how almost no one here talks about or uses something this strong.

I didn't expect to enjoy this fight as much as I did, but it turned out to be a lot of fun once I learned the anchor enemy's moveset.

I gave him all the cooties. Poison, rot, bleed and frost. My game winning idea was rain of arrows during the giga laser, only took a couple attempts after incorporating that.

I finally beat Malenia on my first RL1 run using parries+misericord and while I was experimenting I found a pretty useful discovery- you can actually get tanky enough at level 1 to survive many of her 2 hit combos, including the fast overhead double slash. Here's the setup I used:

Buckler+Carian Retaliation

+25 Cold Misericord

Small Shield+Vow of the Indomitable (for Waterfowl)

Dragoncrest Greatshield

Radagon's Soreseal

Ritual Shield Talisman

Flex Spot- for my winning run I used Dagger Talisman, but for a lot of runs I was using the GreatJar's Arsenal to wear even heavier armor.

For armor I put on the heaviest stuff I could- I focused on slash resistance though I'm not 100% sure that's correct. The banished knight set seemed to have the best slash resistance that I could find. You probably won't have the equip load for all of it even with GreatJar's but on my winning run I put on the legs and chest armor and then wore light armor on my arms and head. 51 poise shouldn't be hard to hit and I found it immensely useful to get combod less frequently as well as tank hits and go for parries after.

For Wondrous Physic I used the magic shrouding tear and opaline hardtear for even more damage reduction. I got to the point where I felt comfortable enough on phase 1 that I would save this to use during her phase transition so I could get the extra survivability in phase 2 which actually came in clutch and saved me from certain death. Bubbletear could be ok but my strategy for waterfowl pretty much always led to me taking a single hit so it wasn't worth it for me.

The last thing I made sure to bring was boiled crab for even higher physical defense. I would pop it at the beginning, and if it had run out and I had some space I would use it again.

All this combined to allow me to survive an extremely surprising number of hits. You could also add Golden Vow but I didn't feel like rebuffing during the fight and I didn't care enough about it for just the first minute. In my winning run I actually straight up tanked a hit from her clone attack and barely survived which gave me the win.

I'd say the damage output of this vs a fully damage optimized parry setup was around 50-60%, which to me was totally worth it. I thought it would be much easier to do a 5 minute fight with 3-4 mistakes than a 2.5 minute fight with 0 mistakes. If you're struggling with Malenia this setup might be worth a try! Here's a timestamped link to my winning run: https://youtu.be/ojsy7S84FIk?t=3378

At 1:00:10 you can actually see me tank the hit of the clone attack and go on to finish her off.

hq version + 3 more kills

also here's DTS and Pissfrey

scadu tree level was 6 or 9 iirc (i completely lost it at rellana and used them LOL)
i know this isnt as impressive as what you guys do here but still wanted to share!

Someone who actually fights this boss a lot please clue me in i just have no idea what makes her do the quick double swipe is it positioning based? or is there a tell cause it looks unreactable

Hi everyone! I’m doing an NG+ run where I use only Uchigatana +0, with no Weapon Skill / Ash of War (I only use R1 and R2 attacks to fight).

Which bosses would you put in your top 20 hardest bosses for this challenge?
I’m uploading the fights to YouTube as a personal diary to document the challenge (my first one).

So far, the hardest that i’ve beated were:

Mohg — took me 5 hours, 8:15 fight time

Radahn (Caelid) — took me 1 hour, 6:30 fight time

Fortissax — took me 1 hour, almost 8 minutes fight time

Morgott — took me 3 hours, 5 minutes fight time

Fire giant — took me 1 hour, 9 minutes fight time

Who do you think will be the hardest bosses to beat under these restrictions?

with limgrave done, lower liurnia cleared, and most of lower caelid done im noticing this playthrough is being done fairly similarly as when i do a quality build with a character

ive got a +9 BHF, fgms, the str/dex tears in my physick

the only difference im seeing that i cant do trades the same way i would with a character that has 60 vig

30 seconds later: 2-shot by bambi

I should really learn more punishes for her 2nd and 3rd phases. That'll have to be a NG+3 thing.

This is my first challenge run of any sort and it is also my first time fighting most of the bosses with no summons. It has been very fun and rewarding so far! I actually ended up loving this fight despite getting stuck on benches quite a bit. His move-set in a small area is pretty tough to deal with. Also his AI bugged out on me a few times and I'm not sure what caused it. I hope to be one of you soon(ish)!

Not that hard, and a pretty fun fight minus a few things, and his ridiculously large HP pool. Very simple and flowy moveset, but it gets repetitive quite quickly, especially during longer fights.

Some things I really don't like are the fact you gotta fight Mini Midra EVERY single time you attempt him, and it's like why??? Another thing I don't like is his Flame of Frenzy he does cuz it's just a giant AOE you gotta run from, and he can glitch and stand up right away and hyper beam your ass, which happened to me quite a bit. His little knife stab is also annoying.

A- boss IMO. He's sound mechanically, but kinda too simple and repetitive to rank any higher.

Am I missing any good punish windows? I want to learn the fancy tech, I'm having a good time with this fight!
