DUDE 3 ENEMIES THAT GANK YOU AS A BOSS FIGHT LMAO!

>>323973156
You realize this boss was meant to be done co op right?

>>323973156
This sums up 2s design philosophy

get good bitch

>>323973156
The BB ganksquad was better

>>323973249

Please tell me that's not a serious argument. "An optional feature is the main way to do something in a single player game."

>>323973156
>mfw I actually beat them 1v3 and was down to my last life gem

Anyways, it was supposed to be a co-op fight.

>>323973419

BB's mechanics actually accommodated group fights reasonably well.

>having trouble on the gank squad
>having to summon for it

Are people really this bad?

>>323973426
All 3 DLCs had co-op sections in them. It's not an argument I'm trying to make it's a fact.

First time I fought them solo was just a fucking nightmare slog before I finally managed to beat them. Too me many attempts. On another character though I brought along the bane of all humanoid characters, the great club and pancaked the shit out of all of them with little effort.

>>323973419

What was the BB gank squad, the fat dudes?

>>323973504

Look at trophy percentages, yes.

SHUT UP
SHUT UP

THIS IS DEEP

MIZAKA IS A GENIUS

DELETE THIS

SHUT UP

MODS MODS MODS!!!!!

I just consume a Brightbug every time I decide to go full retard and bother fighting them again.

>>323973436
>Anyways, it was supposed to be a co-op fight.
This makes it worse, honestly.

>>323973534
None of the gank fights are that hard, you just have to have a lot more patience since you have to wait until you can attack without all of them hitting you.

>>323973807
Dumb shitposter.

Where do you think we are, Anon?

>I actually need more than one hand to count all the times DaS2 did this

If this wasn't a Souls game it would've tanked harder than the Titanic.

How the fuck are you supposed to do it? Specially with poise being obsolete, how?? It's a fucking garbage boring ass boss battle that shouldn't exist. It's artificial difficulty at it's finest.

Even if you do manage to kill them you can't deny it's one of ,if not the worst least creative boss battle of the entire series.

>>323974210

>This makes it worse, honestly.
Not really. Boss fights in Souls are never balanced around white phantoms, so have a few optional ones where your friends can get in on the fun is great.

>>323973156

You're supposed to summon for these fights though. There's one coop area in each DLC, that's why even people who didn't pay for it can set down signs and get some of the equipment drops as rewards.

All three areas, Cave of the Dead, Iron Passage, and Frigid Wastes are designed to be cooped and each have at least two npc phantoms to support you if there aren't any signs.

Sure, I'd say the Tomb Raiders and the cat duo are pretty ridiculous, especially the Raiders because they pull some bullshit animation cancels and have unnatural poise, but aside from that there's no problem with the levels.

>>323973426
"An optional feature in the way of an optional area"

Fixed

>>323973807
I think you are shitposting wrong mate, this is not a Miyazaki game and is not PS4 exclusive

>>323974210
Kite the guys away from the Archer and lead them down into the water. It's easy to lose them down there, so you go back up to the surface where the Archer stays because he snipes you. Get in a few hits and when the two guys come back up, repeat the process.

Once the Archer is dead, it becomes your typical 2v1 with a slow dude and a fast dude like O&S. Either do the same trick by forcing them down into the narrow corridors of the water where you can take on one at a time, or git gud and parry them.

>>323973338
git gud

>>323974287
That's not exactly balanced around white phantoms anymore than any other gank squad boss is though, or even any regular boss, and summoning phantoms was meant to be a way to make things easier anyways, it's just that bosses become too easy with multiple people.

Gank squads are stupid and don't belong in souls games, especially if it's just 3 npcs lazily thrown in there for no reason.

>>323973330
This, so many sections are like this.
>>323973249
I fought them solo, it wasn't fun, just a lot of running around.

>>323973156
what the heck that's havel who the fck are those names

>>323973807

But Miyazaki had absolutely 0 input on DaS2, it was purely done by the B-Team while the A-Team was doubling down on Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3.

>>323974293
>cats
>the problem with FW
>not the "spawn infinitely from any direction, fuck you have sanctuary guardian, hope you like not seeing" reindeer

So it's pretty much confirmed that people that hate Dark Souls 2 are just fucking bad at video games.

>>323974210
No one is defending it as a good boss fight, it just isn't hard. You play it exactly like Ruin Sentinels, just kite them and do pity damage until there is only one left and then you go beast mode.

>>323973249
I bet you thought Ornstein and Smough required another player too

>>323973419
>better

I think the word you are looking for is easy as fuck.

That'll teach you to play offline and not have any experience dealing with online ganks you little baby back bitch. You brought this on yourself you colossal faggot.

Ugh, there are even more multiple bosses boss fights?

That seems like such a cheap design.

>>323973419
That's only because you can summon 2 people which leads to fun 3v3 fights

>>323973156
You forgot the part where they are literally omnipotent and can cancel any animation (including rolls) into a roll, making them literally luck-based unless you cheese.

>>323974883
It's not about difficulty you cunt
It is literally designed for phantom help
There's a reason the graves carry your sign to that area from the entrance
There's a reason mobs drop weapons ONLY for phantoms
There's a reason 2/3 bosses were groups

>That's not exactly balanced around white phantoms
Why not? There's three NPCs and you can get 2-3 other phantoms with you, meaning that you can turn the fight into a fair 1v1 if you summon.

>it's just that bosses become too easy with multiple people.
Yeah, this boss is balanced around multiple people.
What's your problem again?

>>323974707
>But Miyazaki had absolutely 0 input on DaS2
He's credited as the Supervisor.

>>323975104
Sigh....

>>323973156
I wonder if this was a nod to the three Black Phantoms in 1-4.

These baby back bitches that play offline pushed him off the ledge 100% of times for the FaP ring. They have no clue what you're talking about.

>>323976434
Oh no, they're fatrolling all over the place. How horrifying.

>>323973156
Yeah, this was kind of stupid.
I mean, I'm not a fan of those dungeons in general but that one was pretty dumb and lazy. At least it was short and I found the boss to be fun.

>>323978293
At least the arena is more complicated than a flat plane with no obstacles.

The fight's infinitely more tolerable than the Frozen Outskirts one.
