>>
>>324433475
I didn't even find it that hard to be honest, took me 2 tries.

The spiders are about as braindead as the boss itself. Don't try to spam R1 for the second and third phase and you should be fine.
>>
From literally gave you an anti Rom weapon in the DLC because you babbies kept complaining.

Beasthunter Saif literally hooks up underneath the spiders and you can kill them from the front and bypass their armour.

Then there's the whirly saw which you can effectively oneshot the cunt with.

No excuses.

You didn't have enough VIT. You should have at least 50 VIT by that point in the game.

All you need to do is run around in circles until you find a chance to hit a spider, and then once they're dead, do the same with Rom. If you do it that way, it becomes a pretty long fight, but it is 200% retard proof; you literally cannot fuck it up. You will never get hit.

They can be dicey.

If one of them pulls that high jump move from off screen and you don't see it coming you're about to eat a fuck ton of damage.

It's impossible to keep them all in front of you and pure mobility isn't possible either.

This is mainly why people hate Rom. It's a chancy fight at times.

It's truly shitty in the Chalice Dungeons.

Use a quick weapon, pop a beast pellet, kill all the spiders in the first phase when rom is idle, run up to rom and time your charged r2 so it hits when he is just about to teleport to stagger him, kill him in 30 seconds without having to deal with phase 2 or 3

I did most bosses on max 2-3 tries but this shitty dog took me like 10+ attempts because of his bullshit instant kill attack. Amydgala defiled was also a bitch and I couldn't get past her without cheesing the fucking part which she tore her arms off her back and goes apeshit.

Disgusting. Anyone who thinks the solution to a bossfight is to crank up the easy mode and chug blood vials has no valid opinion on any of the game's bossfights.

The only objective way to measure the quality of any of the game's bossfights is as an unleveled waste of skin character.

Beat Rom first try and I still really loved that fight.

The problem isn't his normal attacks, you can Iframe abuse them easily, the only problem are both his leaps. I don't think your vit even matters when the dungeon is defiled.

He's hard but he's completely doable. Hell, you don't even need to kill the other spiders, I just roll to his side -> charge attack -> get the fuck out. Rinse and repeat. If the spiders are too close to him just lead them to you and them move in.

Honestly, the souls games and bloodborne generally have very poorly designed bosses.

I'm not talking about difficulty here, but just being shit.

For example they love trying to balance a shitty and poorly designed boss by throwing in a bunch of normal enemies (too many examples to count). Another twist on this is simply make a boss and then make you fight several of them.
Some are just downright jokes (most recent example is living failures).

The games have some genuinely good boss fights, but most of them are honestly just bad.

Which boss gave you guys the most trouble? I'll rank mine here, starting with the most deaths I've had all the way to the bottom and fewest deaths (excluding Chalice Dungeons, including DLC):

>Orphan of Kos
>Ludwig the Accursed
>Father Gascgoine
>Blood-Starved Beast
>Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower
>Vicar Amelia
>Rom, the Vacuous Spider
>Cleric Beast
>Martyr Logarius
>Darkbeast Paarl
>The One Reborn
>Shadow of Yharnam
>Amygdala
>Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos
>Laurence, the First Vicar
>Living Failures

Killed these on the first try, so they all share a bottom spot:
>Mergo's Wet Nurse
>Moon Presence
>Gherman, the first Hunter
>The Witch of Hemwick
>Celestial Emissary
>>

>>324440474
>For example they love trying to balance a shitty and poorly designed boss by throwing in a bunch of normal enemies (too many examples to count)

Such as? I'm legitimately curious which bosses feature a lot of summons?
>>
>>324440970
Gascoigne, because before BB I'd never parried once in any of the souls, and none of those enemies really chased you down like he did in his second form. It was a brutal fight for that early in the game.
>>
>>324440771
Freya isn't hard, it' just tedious to have to run around the boss to get at the weakspot, AND, if you have a torch out, the little spiders hang back, there, anti frustration measure, quit bitching.
>>
>>324441161

Yeah, I agree, Gascgoine was damn near impossible when I first played BB (this coming from a "Souls veteran" who had beaten the previous 3 games) for the same reason. I always played Souls with a shield and took it slow. I think Gascgoine is the most brutal casual filter in all the Souls games (second maybe to the Capra Demon).
>>
>>324441049
im not the baiting guy but there's a couple of examples:
Ellana
Skeleton king
looking glass knight
royal rats guard
>>
>>324438979
The only reason this guy is hard is because the hitboxes are absolute shit on half of his attacks. That and you having half health.
>>
>>324441319
I would definitely put him on the same tier as Capra Demon. A fast enemy in a steady poke game is going to throw a huge wrench into most people's game. I hate that I had to summon to beat him the first time, but I'll be damned if I had any real trouble for the rest of the game(until I hit the chalice dungeons).

Orphan of Kos is pretty much the only boss that has killed me more than 5 times.

Still haven't beat him but I'm running a shitty build so will probably just say fuck it and stomp his shit with a real build soon.
>>
>>324441530

I worded that wrong. I meant "the second one being the Capra Demon." Gascgoine is definitely much tougher (IMO).
>>
>>324441481
Is that a lot, though, friend? That's probably like 5% of all the bosses, maybe even less.
>>
>>324440970
Gherman
Ebrietas
Amelia
>>
>>324441621
That's probably right, once you dealt with Capra's dogs he was pretty well dealt with himself.
>>
>>324441561
Did you do the defiled chalice dungeons yet?
>>
>>324441049
>Such as? I'm legitimately curious which bosses feature a lot of summons?

Do I really have to list them all?

In Bloodborne alone you have

>hordes
celestial emissary, rom
>clones
shadows, witch, living failiures

This is also ignoring chalice dungeon bosses like the watchers.

But the problems with the designs are not limited to the copypaste either, many of them are just simply poorly designed.

I mean how many boss fights in Bloodborne alone can compare to Gascoigne? Not only because of the fight itself, but the lore and buildup surrounding it. I mean you even had an item tie into all of this with the music box which had a practical use in the fight.
Now compare that fight to Celestial Emissary, which is just that mass rat boss copypasted from dark souls.
>>
>>324441561

Orphan is pretty tough. Phase one you can take it slow, and always dodge to your RIGHT (his left). P2 is hail Mary time, you really need to keep dodging backward to avoid the blood (?) burst grenade things and just stick close to him otherwise. You'll know he's gonna throw them when he leaps over you into the air. You can parry him in both phases, but it's not recommended unless you're really good.
>>
>>324441635
as i said you're not arguing with me, though i found almost all of those fights obnoxious
>>
>>324441763

Also to add, when he does his scream in P2 it means he's doing that ground lightning AOE, and you can get a few good hits in there because it takes him a few seconds to summon that shit. It ALWAYS comes from the body of Kos on the beach, so if you're fighting near the water or right by the door you came through then you can outrange it.
>>
>>324441826
I liked all the fights except the shitty defiled dog and amydgala, different strokes for different folks, I guess.

>>324441759
"poorly designed" what do you mean with this? That is like your opinion and I respect that. My opinion though is that a lot of bosses had huge sweeps and 1 hit ko attacks, that doesn't necessarily make it a bad design though, just a choice I don't like.

You're really overestimating the value of stats in these games, you can be at 99 and still die like a bitch. Conversely, you can win the game without levelling anything.

I feel fucked up because I never had any trouble with Rom, Gascgoine, The One Reborn, Amelia, or BSB.

But I completely got my shit pushed in by Logarius, Ludwig, Laurence, and Gherman.

Kos is just seems really difficult for almost everyone so yeah.

I think the most deaths I've had so far ironically is...the fucking Chikage hunter. blargh. Not even a real boss. Shameful.

I'd also argue that yes, some of them were pretty badly designed. Let's take elana as an example and let's compare it to Ornstein&Smoug.
Elana is essentialy Elana+1/2 Veladtad/s so i feel like the comparison is pretty fair.
Orn&Smo design is so good because individually they're significantly weaker than a single boss, thus letting you manage to fight two of them at the time; moreover when you do kill the first one the game recalibrates the difficulty by making the remaining more powerful, giving you again a balanced 1vs1 fight.
Elana is a mess: on her own she's like 1/2 of a regular boss and based purely on luck you could fight just skeletons, which are annoying but harmless; pigs, which are harmless, and veldstad. Now let's talk veldstad. Reduced hp or not velstad remains a full 1vs1 balanced boss, and this results in you having to dodge ten minutes before each opening to hit him or Elana without getting raped by the other... which would be fine, couldn't she summon more and more guys over time. This makes the bossfight a speedrun to kill velstadt fast enough, while making it such that the opportunity for hitting the boss are very little and far between

I thought she was pretty easy. The only annoying part of her is that the range on her blood attacks is almost impossible to predict until you've just seen them and gotten hit by them.

Yes, exactly. Hated her fucking fight. You forgot to mention velstad almost insta killed you.

I hate fights where you have to wait a lot before actually hitting the boss, that may be one of the reasons I hate bloodborne's giant bosses since their attacks have such a great range.

That sword is a bow in its tricked farm and basically lets you completely shit on every boss in the game from a distance.
Amygdalan Arm is pretty cool. It's normally a club but when you trick it it's like a whip thing and the arm has a mind of its own and does extra slashes after your hits.
For Str there's also the Whirlgig/Pizza Cutter which is both fun as fuck to use and ridiculously overpowered.

Orphan of Kos killed me for 5 hours on ng+. Fucking hell the attacks came out so fast and parrying most of them was so fucking hard and that second form was basically Bloodborne flipping the table.

It's the only boss where I didn't feel like it was unfair that I was dying so much, that I literally wasn't good enough to beat him.

Yes, I would assume you played through the DLC at a very low level. Very impressive.

But using a weapon after having access to late-game upgrade materials on a boss where you should have, at best, a +3 weapon and saying "this boss is a bitch" is kinda dumb.
>>
>>324444604
Beastcutter is a str version of the cane with range, Whirligig saw is a super stronk pizza cutter/mace, Bloodletter is a fucked out mace with an aoe that frenzies yourself, and the Amygdalan Arm is a hammer that lets you poke fuckers with a big hand.
>>
So what the hell is the connection between the thing in Ebriates' room and Rom?
>>
>>324444604
The Strength weapons in the DLC are pretty much just the Whirlgig Saw, Amygdalan Arm, and the Bloodletter as far as I remember. Both Whirlgig and Amy's Arm are pretty ridiculous. Whirlgig shreds absolutely everything and Amy's Arm has insane stagger in its club form and can knock even most bosses down to the ground with the charged R2 of the tricked version

It's relatively easy to herd them to one side of Rom and create an opportunity for you to get some hits in

Anon, HOW DO YOU THINK I GOT THE FUCKING WEAPON?

You undestand how I got it but you don't understand why you sound like a retard.

If I got an endgame weapon at a low level, then I had to get to the fucking weapon at a low level.

And if I had to get to the fucking weapon at a low level, guess who I had to fight at a low level.

FUCKING GASCOIGNE YOU LITTLE SHIT.

Just because I posted a video of me wearing endgame gear doesn't negate my claim that he's a bitch considering I had to go through him to get to the fucking weapon, are you seriously this retarded that you cannot comprehend this?


You can also get to +6 before fighting gascoigne, but I wouldn't expect someone that's never played the game to know this.

>in b4 I played the game.
If you really had, it wouldn't have been difficult to grasp the concept of having the go through gascoigne to get to the weapon you're complaining me using against him.

That doesn't look like his NG+ HP; it looks about the amount of HP he would have on NG with summoned help.

I've never tried it before, but can you not use your small resonant bell in areas where you've already killed the boss? The other guy in that webm is the summoner so he could have gotten the bowblade, gone back to Gascoigne's boss area, then gotten summoned and beat the boss with late-game stuff.

When he does that buff mid-fight that lets him deflect bullets, it's a free backstab; just go behind him and do a charge attack as soon as he starts it up. Not only is it good damage, but it stops him from getting the buff.

A lot of it is backtracking, story-wise it feels convoluted and tacked on. going through shit you've been through a dozen times for a little extra area at the end just to go through the piss fog.

Also the yellow fog gate bosses are all boring or annoying, fourspics are just a tedious dps race. Izalith is literally RNG death drops, Nito is just a DPS race to see if you can wack him off before the zerg shows up. And the only way seath can even be considered a challenge of any kind is if you decide to diddle his bumhole for glass canon sword. and even that is trivialized if you have some bukkake magic.

Get gud

Otherwise, you might want to just put him off and come back later if you went to Cainhurst early.

As for the actual fight, either get gud and learn to dodge *into* attacks so you are right next to the guy as he recovers.

Alternatively just stay a moderate distance away from him to bait him into his dash/flying attacks that leave him vulnerable.

Wear equipment with high blood defense.

Stay away from the edges of the roof.

Learn to recognize his melee attacks in order to parry them.

When you're fighting him close-ranged, he has a tendency to use that quick blood skull blast. To circumvent this, dodge to the side if he's facing you in close range.

He has an attack that causes blood swords from the sky to attack you. To stop this, attack the sword that he plants in the ground.

How can you not understand claiming gascoigne is not a challenge and using a weapon that you get after him are not mutually exclusive.

Your "argument", your only argument. is that I can't claim he's a bitch because I'm using an endgame weapon on him.

But you've clearly never played the game, weapon is affected by stats, not by how far in the story you find it, the fact I'm wearing endgame gear on a level 15 character should be enough to show I clearly have a right to claim he's a bitch, considering I beat him, blood starved, witches, and Amelia, and Simon at level 10 before even upgrading anything or leveling up to bow's base requirements.

But somehow you're getting so assblasted by the fact I'm using the bow and calling gascoigne a bitch that you can't comprehend this, you're literally reducing your argument to the fact that I'm mad at you.

Its not mad, anon, its annoyed, and why wouldn't I be annoyed with you? I literally feel like I'm arguing with a retarded child

I also don't understand why you're dirrecting me to a reply you made to someone else, I know how resonant bells work, and your explanation, none of it, makes literally any difference.

The question is, why are you getting so defensive over the fact someone claims gascoigne is easy? Did you seriously die to him that many times that you can't shut the fuck up once someone calls him easy?

>>324448728
Every weapon scales with Arcane actually. But I meant to imply that weapons have stat requirements before you can hold them and sometimes you find something you're curious about and want to try out

Laurence's last phase is just a cunt. It seems so easy so you let your guard down but then you get stuck in one of his attacks and are dead. He's honestly one of the hardest bosses for me, even after killing him a whole bunch of times I still die occasionally when I can do pretty much everything else with no problem at all
>>
>>324449279
Yeah I really hate his last form. Especially his crawling attack that hits 7 times with little hope of rolling out of if you get knocked down. I try to bait it out when I have a lot of room to run, but sometimes he just never does it until I'm cornered.

I figured out that it's best to stay on his side while he hopelessly crawls -around- you instead of running directly away from it. The most you'll have to worry about then is walking into is lava, which is minimal damage

Saying a boss is easy is one thing.
Saying a boss is easy to the tune of a webm where you use a weapon (upgraded well-past what it should be for fighting NG Gasoigne) and a partner to stunlock them to death is another thing. It's being presented as evidence that the boss is easy, but really it's just evidence that you came back to an early-game boss with late-game upgraded weapons.

Perhaps a webm of repeatedly countering and visceraling him would be better evidence of him being easy, which you can actually do at a low level. Or fighting him and never getting hit. Stuff like that. Saying "this boss is a bitch" and posting your own webm of you winning easily because you were using a high damage weapon on an early game boss doesn't demonstrate your own skill or the bosses easiness. Scaling is important, but it's not so important that you couldn't make quick work of an early-game boss with a +9/10 weapon at base-requirements.

>But you've clearly never played the game

Yea, Chalice Rom is a total cunt. It is funny how in the normal version you are supposed to just run past all the spiders and be fast enough through each phase, whereas the Chalice version I am pretty sure you have to carefully kill all the spiders between each phase while dodging the meteors.

Hunters Axe 2-handed charge attack is OP as FUCK. Just level up Strength/Skill (both eventually) up to 25 and let it carry you through the entire game or until you find another weapon that has a good vibe with you. Since it hits twice, there are *very* few enemies in the game that the whirlywhirl won't stagger, and you can abuse the range to cheese basically every enemy in the game, (and even some bosses, like Vicar).

>Its not mad, anon

I get that "u mad" is a meme, but there's only so many ways you can phrase it when someone is clearly very worked up. You're not even arguing at this point, and I doubt you even read my full post.

Let me put this in the simplest way possible; to bring Simon's Bowblade back to help someone beat a NG Gascoigne, you must have beaten Gascoigne at a low-level with regular, un-upgraded equipment. Good for you! You must then have beaten Maria and possibly all the bosses at this low level, and then gone back with your Bowblade. Impressive!

Now, your thinking is that this gives you the "right" to say that anything you beat at that low level is easy. But you didn't post a webm of you in a fair fight with Gascoigne, beating him with your skill and timing. You posted a webm of you mashing R1 with an upgraded weapon and a teammate. The location of the weapon in a late-part of the DLC is irrelevant; the location of the weapon at a point in the game when you have access to chunks and rocks, however, is important, because it let you upgrade it to the point where wailing on him a bit made him die. It is not evidence that the boss is easy, or that you had an easy time with the boss on any preceding runs. I'm not saying you're bad at Bloodborne if that's what's getting you worked up, I'm just saying that you haven't presented any real evidence that you're good. The only evidence here is a webm of you cheesing a boss.

>>324451185

It's really not high and mighty at all. I just played the game. If he said "you suck at the game" and I said he was crazy for implying that, that'd be kind of high and mighty, because it would imply I think I'm better than him and most players. But if it's a yes/no thing like "did you play the game," I know he's 100% wrong every time he says it.

So why do Soulsfags defend Rom as an example of good boss design but hate any example of multi-boss fights in Dark Souls 2?

Doesn't Rom suffer from the same flaw that Dark Souls 2 bosses often have of being difficult only by virtue of being swarmed by large numbers?

I haven't played Bloodborne. And I quit Dark Souls 2 halfway through after beating the four Lord Soul rip-offs because the game got fucking boring. But I looked at videos of the Rom boss fight and it seems like the tactics is no different from fighting Duke's Dear Freja.

So why is Rom praised? I guess the setting is cool.

Forbidden Woods has a boatload of twin shards. Feel free to upgrade your cane to +6, you'll have plenty to spare. I think you can kill Eileen to get the badge (to buy the blades) at any time, but if you want to finish the questline, the final stage happens around the point in the game when you start to get a lot of chunks. So I'd say get to that point, get your blade up to +6, then see which one you prefer and dump your chunks into that one.

The first form is the easiest to me, just like Ludwig. The second form is only hard if you don't make sure there's room to dodge that 7-hit crawling combo.

It depends on luck in the first phase. If you are in NG you can rush to phase 2 because of lower health pools.

In NG+ you might start seeing him do a falling 5 hit combo, or him leaping at you horizontally.

>I get that "u mad" is a meme, but there's only so many ways you can phrase it when someone is clearly very worked up.
Why point it out? You're trying to take the high ground, right? "u mad" relinquishes you of any possibility of that because you just prove you're more interested in provoking a person than discussing something with them.

>It's really not high and mighty at all. I just played the game. If he said "you suck at the game" and I said he was crazy for implying that
Crazy? kind of like you repeatedly arguing that just because I posted a webm of gascoigne with bowblade I'm not allowed to say he's easy? Have you ever considered that I've not saved me beating him the first time because I'ts 2016, and He's been beaten by level 10 people with an unupgraded axe countless times and there are enough videos of it online?

>Let me put this in the simplest way possible; to bring Simon's Bowblade back to help someone beat a NG Gascoigne, you must have beaten Gascoigne at a low-level with regular, un-upgraded equipment. Good for you! You must then have beaten Maria and possibly all the bosses at this low level, and then gone back with your Bowblade. Impressive!

You only need to beat gascoigne, Cleric, and Amelia. Once you're in the Hunter's Nightmare you can kill Simon for the bow right there.

>Now, your thinking is that this gives you the "right" to say that anything you beat at that low level is easy. But you didn't post a webm of you in a fair fight with Gascoigne, beating him with your skill and timing.
See this is the part where I start getting annoyed, I said gascoigne is a bitch, right? If someone says something is easy, would they really need "timing and skill"? You keep acting like I have no right to claim he's easy because I'm not what, tricky enough? He's staggered by a breeze, dude.

I'm annoyed because you keep acting like none can say something is easy unless they post a flawlessly exploiting iframes while countering every hit vid.

>>324455005
I'll admit, the AoEs on his slams in his first form swearing at myself for getting hit by them. I think the second form is more intense because you've knocked him under 50% and are more prone to making mistakes by taking chances to kill him faster.

I beat Rom in my first attempt, by killing all her spiders before attacking her again whenever she summoned them. They're fucking easy to single out so you can get behind the loner and kill it. And if Rom was supposed to be harder in the chalice dungeon or something, I slapped her shit even harder there. After Rom, every boss became fucking Easy Mode.

>Why point it out?

Because I guess I have the naive belief that video games can be discussed calmly and rationally. The kind of discussion where accusations of mental retardation and bleach drinking aren't thrown in every other line, then it's just angry shit-flinging. Like I said, I get that it's a meme, and the moment you insinuate that someone should calm down it becomes "Oh, they're using the 'u mad' meme" but really I just want a nice discussion. I think it's a bit ironic that the guy who called me a "retarded child" is saying that I'm the one "interested in provoking" them by saying calm down.

>You only need to beat gascoigne, Cleric, and Amelia. Once you're in the Hunter's Nightmare you can kill Simon for the bow right there.

Oh, I didn't think of killing him, I was thinking his questline. Although that actually makes it a bit less impressive, I can't beat Ludwig at that level. Why Cleric, though?

>He's staggered by a breeze, dude.

He does get staggered, but usually the stagger is enough for you to get a few hits, which takes off some of his health, then you probably run out of stamina and back off and do it again. I mean, that's most Soulsborne bosses; wait for an opening, get a few hits in. The difference is that here, your single flurry of attacks was enough to kill him before he could even change phases.

I'm not saying he's a hard fight. I don't care that you implied that he's an easy boss. I don't doubt that you could beat him easily under normal circumstances. But to say he's an easy boss and then post a webm of you beating him with some clear unfair advantages, it makes it seem like you're presenting that as evidence that he's easy. That's just how this started; you said a boss was easy, and it was accompanied by a webm of you beating them in a few hits thanks to upgraded weaponry. It just rubbed me the wrong way, so I said something.

Which one? FR or NF?

I tried doing the FC one but this was right when the DLC came out and I didn't know how to use it and I did horribly.

But then got my shit a bit together and built another character around it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bU3gcIR0vbM

Level 15 and pushed her shit in.

I remember when BB just came out, I was like level 65~ before I was able to take her down.

Though in all fairness that was with Ludwig's.

But Simon's really trivializes pretty much every boss, they've done nothing to balance out the bosses for a ranged primary. Though I suppose someone rushing to the DLC at level 15 and fighting Simon for the bow then continuing through the game probably wasn't high on their list of concerns.

>and then post a webm of you beating him with some clear unfair advantages

Not the person you responded to, but I saw this and it made me baffled. Since when is using something in the game a "clear" and "unfair" advantage? If it's in the game and the game allows it, it's about as fair as you can get. Whether that is using allies or using a fully upgraded weapon on an early game boss or any strategy like that.

If the devs thought it was wrong or "unfair" for you to use end-game/fully-upgraded weapons on starter-level bosses, then they should have implemented some sort of scaling mechanic that either increases the damage and health of the boss according to your gear OR weakens your gear to do less damage on the boss.

You know, just like how players scale to hosts during multiplayer. But the devs didn't do that. The devs could have done a million and one things to ensure that you weren't overpowered in any given PvE encounter. But again, they didn't do that. So there's nothing "unfair" here. It's in the game.

Well, it is valid and possible. It might not be cheating, to summon and and use upgraded equipment or level yourself, but I'd like to think that the developers had some level in mind when they design bosses, a rough estimate that they can balance the boss' damage and health around. You CAN go way above this, or below it, but I wouldn't say it's always a fair fight, and unfortunately it's quite easy to level your way out of a challenging encounter.

Also, upgrade materials are strategically placed so that you should only have certain upgrade levels at certain points. So, if you search around central Yharnam, you can get a weapon to +3 for Gascoigne (the guy I'm talking with said you can get it to +6, but I'm not sure what twin shards he's talking about), after Gascoigne shards become common to upgrade more stuff, then you can get up to +6 before fighting Amelia. After Amelia twin shards become common to upgrade more stuff, etc. It's not an absolute system, but I'm pretty sure the devs balance bosses around certain levels and upgrade levels.

I feel like the devs just included the DLC weapons without balancing enemies around them.

As a result, all enemies just don't know how to deal with the bowblade.

I haven't used it much, but I've seen a number of videos of people just absolutely destroying bosses like Lawrence and Amygdala with the bowblade without any effort. They literally just kite and spam arrows and sacrifice a bit of health whenever their ammo is low so that they can get the ammo back.

Like Amygdala was just standing there, taking arrow shots to the head and could barely do anything to damage the player.

The same, I think, applies to weapons like the pizza cutter. They clearly just designed those weapons without any regard for how they might break the game.

By "type of chalice" do you mean Pthumerian/Loran/Isz, or do you mean like Defiled/Fetid Offering?

The initial lightning strike does the most damage and will always strike the beached corpse, so as long as you aren't standing near that you won't get oneshot.

pizza cutter has some fucked damage but I don't think it's bowblade tier

without it it's just a better kirkhammer

He almost literally never leaps if you stay close to him. Every other attack of his has EXTREMELY obvious telegraphs and is laughably fucking easy to avoid. His bites ALWAYS go in a certain sequence and you can always bait them (by moving in to trigger the next bite then moving out to not get hit) and get free hits on his snout when he finishes. You can avoid almost all of his attacks just by fucking walking. Hell, if you suck enough dicks you can just lame it out and wait for his lava-vomit attack over and over again to get literally zero-risk, easy-as-fuck hits in. He is so ridiculously easy I'm surprised anyone has trouble with him at all, much less that some people consider him one of the hardest bosses in the game. He is one of the few bosses I can consistently beat without healing or shooting at all. All you need is to have just a LITTLE patience. That's literally all it takes to beat him, just the TINIEST amount of patience.

Who cares, pvp always sucks. Bloodborne is great. I've been playing it nonstop for like three weeks now without PS+ and it's become my favorite game of all time.

Pthumeru one has an achievement for beating a boss at the end of a long set of dungeons, the ones that don't have "root" in the name, you get the chalice for the next tier by beating the last boss in current tier. they usually have 3 or 4 tiers in each dungeon.

All the other ones are bonus.

The developers often times hint about undiscovered secrets remaining in the game yet to be found.

Never got why people complained about Rom.

BSB, sure, I get it, he's fast and has poison. Vicar Amelia is pretty fast and has regen. Logarius shits magic damage. Even Micolash could be tricky with his one-shot.

But man I wasn't even overleveled nor did I have much VIT and Rom was easy. He has basically one single attack that's obviously telegraphed, and the spiders are just weak trash mobs if you dance around and hit them in the back.

What did people find hard about him? At worst you can just kill the spiders before attacking him. It's not like he's going anywhere.

The only time they ever did was about the pendant in dark souls, and that literally did nothing.

Only retards who are unable to multitask have problems with Rom. Same with the Shadows.

Nah, those are different dungeons with different bosses. Pthumeru is (at first) the easy one, Loran and Isz are harder and require more advanced materials. Generally it goes like this;

-Get some Ritual Blood 1 for Pthumeru
-Do Pthumeru, get some Ritual Blood 2
-Do Middle Pthumeru, get some Ritual blood 3
-Do Lower Pthumeru, and find some Bastards of Loran and Ritual Blood 4 and (I think) an Arcane Haze extractor
-Do Lower Loran, and find some Ritual Blood 5
-Do Isz, find some Red Jelly and more Ritual blood 5
-Do Defiled Pthumeru
-Do Pthumeru Ihyll

You tend to get the needed materials for the next dungeon in the current dungeon, but sometimes you need to stop and farm. Also, nothing wrong with completely skipping the Chalice Dungeons; they're easily the worst part of the game.

Are there people who still don't know that you can use Numbing Mist to stop this?

I'm talking about the kind of people who would have trouble with Rom, I doubt anyone of that capacity would understand when to use mist

Whoosp, messed that up a bit. It's Ailing Loran, not Lower Loran, and you get the Bastards of Loran there for the Defiled Pthumeru, rather than getting them from Lower Pthumeru for Ailing Loran.

Well, good luck! They're generally not the best bosses, but some of them are alright. The "breezing" will stop at a certain point.

Also, be sure to kill the Brain of Mensis in your game. He drops a ritual material needed for the last Chalice Dungeon, and that's the only place to get it.
