loooooool you can tell op loves dark souls 2 loooooool

Easiest boss in the game. It's a dps check.

>>384236282
>be OP
>be bad

Become better.

>>384236480
Which means if you are NOT running a dedicated DPS build you won't get past it.
Plus, it looks retarded design-wise and has the worst arena in the game (not to mention the ridiculously bad level leading up to it).

>>384236480
>easiest
that'd be pinwheeler.

That's not bed of chaos

put Stone Armor + Iron flesh on and you can tank them early game at level 10

get good

>>384237057
>get good
no
you are telling him to do certain things that a first time player would not know, nothing to do with getting good

>>384236339
oh loool, like, I know right? loooooool looool

>>384237128
A first time player isn't usually good, using tactics that a new player wouldn't know is getting good.

>>384236282
I'll never understand how you can say this ruins the second half. New Londo is a fun level and this boss is not bad.

>>384237057
Why the fuck is pyromancy so much more interesting than the other spell schools despite needing the least specialization? Its retarded that most of the miracles and sorceries are either utility spells that double item functions or straight magic missile spam.

>>384236940

Did they legit forget to give him attacks or was he sort of a joke boss?

>fucking tomb of the giants is the true boss

>>384236887
any build that involves dodging a lot more than hitting.

>>384237225
being skilled is getting good, using cheap tactics that make the game piss easy is not

>>384236887
any weapon build that doesn't have high weapon scaling

>>384237364
The excuse I keep hearing is that players are supposed to be able to beat him early if they want the rite of kindling.

>>384236769
>get your stronkest weapon, buff it if applicable
>put on havels and grass crest shield and chloranthy ring, fat roll is a-okay
>hit r1 a whole lot

>>384237440
then go make a weapon that scales with whatever stat you do have
or if you're fucking resist specced make a chaos weapon. You have the whole game to prepare for 4kids entertainment if you want. You don't have to fight them until the very end.

>>384237438
Knowing which tactics in the game will help you in a given situation is part of getting good, I think you fell for the "dude I beat the entire thing at level 1 with no armor just don't get hit!!!" meme.

>>384237617
What if he doesnt want to lvl strength or use pyromancy? so much for role playing game
Its a shitty boss anyway, but on ng everything is easy

>>384236282
It got awful the second you try to fight Ceaseless Discharge

>>384237438
it's an action RPG made with the old school mindset, using spells and tactics to your advantage, especially to get around things your character build isn't suited for, is a big part of the game.
I'd hate to see you kids try to beat ultima underworld, or god help you, kings field.

>>384237601
dont act like an ape
im answering your retarded ass question

>>384236769
Any +10 weapon in the game will beat this boss easily.

>>384237938
Well what the fuck do you want? A beat the game button? You're just complaining and then complaining about the solution to your dumbass problem.

*OP is a retard*

>>384237729
Not really what we were talking about, but I didn't mean to suggest that it's impossible to beat unless you use iron flesh and specific armor. At the least you should be able to manage to do enough damage to kill them.

>>384236282
Why do people complain so much about Four Kings? Yeah they're a bit of a boring DPS race, yes there's that fifth king glitch, but it's generally harmless. Sure as shit better than the trash in Demon Ruins/Lost Izalith.

*OP is a cunt*

>>384236769
>Sole objective of the game is to kill things
>"WELL WHAT IF IM RUNNING A BUILD THAT CANT KILL THINGS?"
Well whos fuckin fault is that?

He's actually not that bad, most people are just retarded.

>after life drain, wait until he swipes before healing at a distance

His sword does magical damage but only when the blade hits you. If you stand close enough, you only get hit for minimal physical damage

t. beat Four Kings soul level 1 before Anor Londo and Gargoyles and multiple times on regular base level runs

>>384236282
*faggots himself with a retarded thread*

OP...

Coolest boss in the game, and best theme tied with Gwyn's.

>>384236282

was 7 kings for me.

>>384236282
One of the only bosses in Dark Souls that I have never died to.

Gee that was hard

What's with all the 4 Kings shitposting lately? It feels like there's been more shitposting about 4 Kings in the past month than when the game was released.

>>384236921
Did they see amano at a bar one day and ask him to sketch out a boss or something

>/v/ thinks four kings and O&S are fine, yet get autistic over ruin sentinels or deacons

Really makes you think

4 kids was fun though
Lost Izalith, Tomb of the Giants and even Duke's Archives are way fucking worse than New Londo and 4 kangz

wow dude

4kings is an excellent original fight and theres ONE autist that keeps fucking LOSING against them and shitposting, trying to make it seem like it's a bad fight

The second half of Dark souls still kicks the shit out of ANY game today except Bloodborne. If you can't beat 4kings you suck dick and should get better

To the person who has been shitposting about 4kings for what feels like months now: You have the biggest case of sucking dick at a videogame that I have seen recently. Don't try to mental gymnastics your way through and try to argue 4kings is the worst fight in the world of videogames, it's not. It's you, you suck dick and you should kill yourself so that I don't have to see these stupid ass threads every week

Then you just make a weapon with lightning damage

Four Kings is a bullshit boss.
Making bosses with multiple enemies is a lazy design choice to ramp up the difficulty level.

Give me Gael like bosses, one boss with transformations

It's an example of a bad "clusterfuck" type of a design.
Say, in Bloodborne, cosmic abominations are an example of a GOOD "clusterfuck" type of a design.
With 4fags it just... didn't work.

git gud

Ludwig ruined the Bloodborne DLC for me when I first did it. Fighting him with a skill build and not having pumped the shit out of vitality made it literally impossible. I refused to summon for bosses that I have never beaten so I had to restart.

>>384236480

are you a fucking retard? the original strategy to beating this boss was going full tank mode and wear the heaviest shit you could

>>384242175
There's a dedicated autist from /vg/ who's made threads whining about them for years.

>>384248975
>being so upset at realizing that you're shit at the game that you have to lie to your self by titling "get any +10 weapon and some armor" as minmax/cheesing the fuck out of the game

That's pretty pathetic. Are you really so insecure that you have to make such blatantly untrue statements publicly just to make your self feel better.
>Man Taurus Demon is so hard bros amirite?
>Just hit him until he dies
>What if I don't want to hit him fucking minimax assholes holy shit leave me alone it's just a game fuck

>>384248975
Chucking lightning on some random ass weapon and enhancing it to +10 is quite literally as far from min maxing as you can get
