Well that was a fucking great boss battle

>multi-enemy shit
>great

Indeed

>>384808009
Atleast they fight each other
That's kinda cool

it's pretty shit mechanically though.

>multiple enemy garbage
>actual boss is stupidly easy to backstab over and over
It has cool music and presentation but that's about it

>>384807952
>hurr let me run around kiting 3 enemies until they start killing each other hit the boss twice then run around some more
it was shit
second phase was decent at least

>>384808009
That's what makes it great. You can manuever and set them against each other.

>>384807952
it's not that great because it's one of the easiest bosses in the game

>>384808009
it's a free for all where they fight each other
and you can stagger them easily

>>384807952
The cutscene for phase 2 was really cool but thats about it

>when the boss is more dangerous with a shield than his weapon

The first phase is interesting and memorable, the second phase is extremely easy to backstab.

Most of the arguments over bosses in Souls games boil down to one side preferring interesting bosses, and the other preferring mechanically challenging bosses.
The difference between Storm King and False King Allant, for example. DaS3 doesn't have many of the former type (Ancient Wyvern?), but has some exceptional examples of the latter.

PVP is different to PVE
Most invaders are accustomed to breaking apart groups of players and killing them really fast before the stragglers catch up

>>384808009
part 2 is the real boss fight

>>384807952
It would be berry cool if even phantoms that you bring with you could hurt you

>>384808009
>>384808163
You're just regurgitating a point you've heard in the past, even though it doesn't apply here. Unless you have no idea what you're doing and make stupid moves, you never have to deal with more than one at once. It's generally 1v1 combat with the added challenge of keeping an eye on a third part to make sure you keep it that way

Think for yourselves

>>384808635
>thinking pvp in Souls games is anything other than a laggy shitfest with dudes rolling around all over the place

>>384808751
what this guy said. Plus pvp fags are accustomed to lag and phantom range and can use it to their advantage

>>384808821

DaS2's dudes in armor get shit on because they're all basically the same fight bar one or two unique moves. DaS3's dudes in armor have all wildly different fighting styles.

>>384808635
That's weird I was the opposite when I first started playing DS3.
I struggled in PVE but won most of my PVP duels.

>>384808882
I still can't figure out why from thought mound makers shouldn't be allowed into boss battles. Not allowing them literally just makes them red phantoms 2.0 since they still have to kill a host to get any covenant progress. All they had to do was make helping a host more profitable than killing them to balance it, like killing two hosts is equal to killing one boss

don't bother with souls pvp unless you are doing a meme invading build

These fights are a lot more fun if you're too uncertain about the mechanics to ever attempt backstabs like I was/am

>starts rolling around pro™ like and trying to whip me
>first mistake he makes I stunlock him with farron greatsword r2

>>384809519
Abyss Watcher's backstab opening is incredibly obvious, almost as obivous as the hollows in the tutorial levels. You'd have to be really bad to not take advantage of it.

>>384809276
mound makers would have been so much better if your summon sign AND your phantom appeared as a friendly phantom. that way people would have to risk summoning a grape. there's just no point in summoning a grape as it is

>>384809613
damn bro you're too good

>>actual boss is stupidly easy to backstab over and over

The beginning phase it's easy to backstab one of them at first but in the second phase it's actually really hard to backstab the single guy. You're just shitposting or only managed to get multiple backstabs off the 2nd phase by having help from summoners.

Is there even a worse boss in the entire series?

>>384808163
And a somewhat sad story, I mean, basically what we see when we first meet the boss is them fulfilling their duties to destroy the corruption of the void wherever they can, and they themselves have become corupted cause Farron Keep became corrupted.

My first run through, I didn't even realize that Aldrich was in the game because I was expecting an octopus boss. I realized only later that the shower drain hair log attached to Gwyndolin was what we apparently saw in the intro cinematic.

It was not and i´ll show you why.

The arena is quite bland, it´s not a good reference to the swamp neither the catacombs, just a square with an altar and a bunch of bosses piled around.
The boss itself has no personality, it´s just another Artorias maymay forced to appear like that great wolf in the tower or the wolf in the DLC.

Worst part is that is not even like a boss battle, you could have a skilled swordsman, but instead you get a stupid crawling and smashing guy who jumps and drifts around, dying in like 3-4 hits at best.

Then they combine their shit because lol fireshit magic lmao and more boss phases just to make the same guy but with a fire sword (and fire slash again) and more HP.

So no, was not a good, neither a hard or interesting fight.

>>384812530
I beat him 1st try with pure pyro build. I didn't even notice the fight much, all I did was spam fireballs.

>>384813425
Almost every single boss arena in DaS3 is just a square.

>>384811898
>15 minutes to kill
What the fuck are you using? The ladle?

>>384814072
Yhorm has a great square with a lot of treasures, which makes a lot of sense because he was described as a conqueror.

The boss was shit too, but the square was great.

>>384810063
If only the sword were actually that long.
And didn't have three-way split damage.

Why does every boss in DaS3 become firey in phase two?

It was okay when Maria did it in BB because only she did it, in DaS3 it made new phases lose any impact

Yeah and why the hell do they all wear armor? Also why the hell are they always hostile towards the player? And what's the deal with them never talking during battle? Why do all their weapons have handles, anyways? Would some variety really have hurt, From?
