Hunters profaned Kos' body, Kos is a great one, and has an infinite mind, you disrespect a God = you get fucked
And so, Kos created the nightmare, where bloodlusted hunters would end up.
But there was a problem, his son was birthed inside the curse, and that was pretty unexpected. Obviously, you as a newborn, the first thing you see is the curse your mother put and you're inside it because some fuckers couldn't keep their noses out of a cosmic body.
So yeah, Hunters where the first thing in his shit list.

He's sad because her mother is fucking dead and he was born inside a literal nightmare, and all of this happened because the Hunters and the Church mutilated and massacrated the villagers. So, you, a hunter is the first thing he sees when he's born, of course he would be raging mad at you.

Something doesn't add up with that sentence.

I killed him first try and I can't replay because I can't for the fucking life of me beat Ludwig again. But it's probably the most memorable experience in the series next to O&S and Friede.

He's pretty damn close if not #1. I admit that I had to summon for him because I just couldn't do it at my self-imposed level 120 self in NG+. I tried for about 6 hours, even had a round in which I felt like I went super saiyan and played about as well as I possibly could and still didn't take him down. So I fucking summoned. Not sure if I regret it or not.

I just have a thing for skeletal characters.
There aren't enough games where you can play as a skeleton. They're just so cool to me.

Maybe I'm edgy or something, but there's something so simplistic about it, that, when a character is just a skeleton, they stand out. Nobody does a straight-up skeleton.

Orphan of Kos is WITHOUT A DOUBT the most balanced boss in the series, which is what makes it so fucking good. His attacks are tricky and sometimes might seem unfair, but success in this fight is completely in the player's hands. There's nothing "cheap" about him.

Dark Souls 2 Smelter Demon and DLC Ancient Smelter Demon are actually my favorite fights.

Well, Kos also lifts the nightmare when you return her son to the "ocean" (Cosmos/Astral World), meaning she was pleased.
I think it's stated somewhere in the game that Great Ones can physically die, but can't really die due to their cosmic minds.

I honestly can't think of any. He is badass. But it's easy to miss these lines.

>>389313249
The thing I like about the fight is that, like Gascoigne, it forces the player to be agressive. This sounds weird, but the most effective strategy to the fight is to be as up close as possible, as many his attacks have arcs that heavily punish midrange, while whiffing while you're close range. I felt like this is what really made the second phase so difficult for me, as he rarely stayed in one location, which reduced the amount of openings you'd get by a lot.

While I can't say the fights force you to be aggressive pretty much ever boss in BB benefits from playing aggressive. Bosses like Paarl you can perpetually stagger as long as you stay under him and just keep attacking his feet, same is true of Cleric Beast, Vicar Amelia and Ebrietas as well.

The thing i love aside from the obvious atmosphere point is how he not only has a lot of moves but many of them have top tier animations and hit at unique angles or have cool hitboxes like the 360 spin, without a doubt the freshest fight
Its too bad oedon and MP are so easy, they have some next level animations too, mainly the MP

Chromatic Aberration.

>>389311205
>OoK
He's not even the best boss in Bloodborne. Fun fact, if you can reliably parry a boss in the game it's not all that great of a boss fight. If you want a boss that is legitimately difficult and requires more than learning the most basic skills in the game to beat, then you need to look no further than Ludwig. The DLC, while fantastic the whole way through, gets significantly easier following his fight. OoK is great because of lore reasons, he's also a difficult fight, but Augur and backstabs completely destroy him. Ludwig's fight felt like a final boss fight
(as did Laurence but he loses points for being some odd mix of Queelag and Cleric Beast instead of being original) OoK's fight feels like Gehrman 2.0, but instead of him being a constant presence that felt like your mentor who you get the chance to surpass, OoK is just something that wasn't supposed to exist, and wants to kill everything because it's pissed.

>>389314440

Some do not though, playing aggressively against something like Laurence or Defiled Keeper/Hotdog/Amygdala usually gets you killed.

why is this a plus?
my vote goes to Midir. 4/6 of your other points apply to him too
having multiple forms is neat but one fewer form doesn't make Midir any worse of a fight
he's not that fast but his moves cover a ton of distance so you still have to be cautious if you need to heal
plus dragon fights are just superior to any others when all other things are considered equal imo
>inb4 he's just a mountain of HP
that's how dragons should be, and it makes the payoff from the stagger/riposte that much better

>>389314858
You might be thinking of regular Amygdala. Getting hit once against the Chalice version usually results in instant death if your Vit isn't high enough.

The fact that yahargul's purpose was to make some in-deep contact with the cosmos, having The Choir and the School of Mensis as the hosts of the party, and that you can see lot of scholars sitting dead around the place, implying that they tried to do something just reinforces the idea that The One Reborn is an artificial great one.

Midir ended up being my favorite boss fight out of the whole series, overtaking Artorias. His moveset is so varied and heavily punishes misplays but like Kalameet and Sinh it's relatively easy to learn so eventually you can just face him without taking any damage and have a blast doing it. The reactions you get from people when they summon you and solo him with a hyper build are so great.

The game's cosmology is all about hierarchies. The Great Ones exist on a layer of existence many tiers above our own, with us physical mortals down here on the bottom. The Great ones are always described as 'descending' to interact with mortals, and breeding requires them descending to... ah... 'interact'.

So I think baby great ones require being on this lower plane for gestation, and that the cord itself is the link nourishing and vitalizing them for ascending into the heavens and leaving the mortal plane. But we come along and snatch it away and eat it ourselves, skipping all that 'expanding your conscious' and 'elevating your mind' bullshit for the means by which the great ones THEMSELVES are elevated.

That's why the Orphan is so pissed, he's had the equivalent of his special milk bottle taken from him.

Soo
Is Rom really called "Roma, the Retarded Spider" or there is some hidden meaning in
(白痴 Hakuchi lit. Profound Mental Retardation) that people miss?
It always happen that kind of things in japanese when the context it's not applied, so maybe the "retarded" has another was of looking at it.

I'm assuming Rom is a human that ascended to become a great one, but in the process lost his/her ability to think and became has the intellect of an animal, so retarded in human standards.

The answer is always whatever you feel comfortable with. When I was playing Arcane, I didn't put any into Vitality at all until I got to Logarius.

While in the DLC, you find a whiter-robed woman chanting the same thing as Emilia in front of am altar, when you approach She activates the elevator and sends the altar down, when you reach the altar after killing her you find She was praying at Laurence's Human Skull.

>>389319645
augur didn't always parry or set up backstabs. I don't remember when it was added, but I am so glad they did. Although it does make the Micolash fight even scarier if you fuck up once in later NG+s.

>>389323145
I posted a sequel that removed the world interconnectivity of the first Dark Souls, had lower build variety than the previous two Souls games, a Souls game that discarded what Dark Souls 2 did with NG+ by switching up enemy placements and a sequel that has to shove references to the first one in the player's face at every turn such as Andre being alive thousands of years later.

Bloodborne is best left alone as its own thing, it doesn't need a sequel at all.

He is very cool, but I've come to realize that Ludwig is a little bit better. Ludwig is also harder for me. I mean, for example. in Dark Souls 2 there are hard bosses but you don't give a shit and don't have any motivation to beat them because the game has a shitty design overall. And who needs a challenging game if it's shit? In games like Bloodborne you have a motivation to move on, to overcome bosses like Orphan

I like Gwyn. The moment you step into the arena and Gwyn immediately leaps at you, like the really aggressive boss that he is which contrasts his simple and rather sad piano theme. And then when you compare it to the other boss themes like Taurus Demon and Bell Gargoyles it's a bit more of a shock.

Also both of the characters have an interesting story if you dig. Smough is quite possibly the only real enemy you fight in the city besides Gwyndolin.

Gwndolins illusions are only one step short of being real. It's possible the two did actually know each other and Ornstein was summoned for Smough's sake.

I thought the whole "Ornstein was an illusion" theory was just that, a theory?

Dark Souls 3 has his armor with a description saying he went to track down Gwyn's first born, with the indication he either was killed or put aside his weapon and armor to walk away. It also mentions Smough as the last defender of Anor Londo.

It is. However Ornstein's armor in 3 says that he went on a journey to find his master(The Nameless King) which would probably mean the one you fought wasn't real.

>>389324725
Not them but weren't gwyn's 4 knights just normal people that died long before DS1?

that was the only downside IMO. Even in DeS you could bootleg respec with soul sucker.

Pleb opinion.

>>389325158

Why does he walk on his knees like that

>>389325158
To be fair they're attached together the entire fight. I do think this is the best boss in DaS3 but its more of a 1v1 fight.

>no monk head collar
>no glowing weapons off all the colors of the rainbow
>no grass
That picture is missing a lot.

>>389325158
It's a fucking 1v1 fight with two faggots crushed together

>>389322019
Fishing Hamlet was the point where I just had no idea what the fuck was happening anymore. The walk in and pretty much everything from there to the lantern by the elevator was a huge wave of pure confusion and then suddenly sharkbro. An undeniable 10/10.

I just laughed when TRC tried to do a budget version of this with a literal boss arena

How the fuck do I deal with the trio in Yahar'gul Chapel? I'm level 49 and getting my shit slapped.

>>389325908
Lead them down into the lower level to try and separate them, going in loops around the stairs.

>>389325908
Bait them all the way back outside and get them to the first area outside of where the lamp in the room where the Amygdala is and then go up the stairs where the railing is and just bait them close to it and hit them through the wall, they won't come up to where you are.

It's a garbage encounter because all the Hunters have unlimited bullets and stamina.

I want to impregnate Iosefka!
I want to do research female anatomy with Iosefka!
Iosefka is cute!

>>389325908
The one waiting for you in the ladder is open for a backstab, so sneak behind him, backstab him and keep attacking until he dies. You should be doing enough damage to kill him before his friends reach you.

>>389326274
and by ladder I mean stairs, of course.

>>389325908
Sneak up to and backstab the guy in the middle then go full on hyper aggression on him until he dies or the guy behind you shows up, if you cant kill him before that point then kite them and focus on him and only him until he is dead, at which point youve essentially won

>>389324907
Ciaran and Gough's fates were never stated. Assuming you didn't outright kill them yourself anyways.

>im bad:the post
Its a great encounter you just cant fathom strategy that isnt guns blazing or cheeze

Who were your favorite side characters, anons?

Honestly my favorite part about the entire game was how my expectations were fundamentally fucked with. I went in expecting Van Helsing with a weird "vampires vs. werewolves" theme (and this was true for a time) but then it throws me dick first into Call of Cthulu.

Also pic related is best weapon.

Hitting Amygdala's head with a charged shot is almost sexually satisfying.

In Bloodborne, both Iosefkas. In general, I really liked Alva and Zullie

Nah I meant bowblade. Saw cleaver is nice though.

Really liked Simon, Eileen, and Djura. When I finally found out how to befriend Djura, I actually felt really bad for the slaughter in Old Yharnam, he definitely has a point how pretty much all the beasts there kept to themselves.

>The dragons shall never be forgotten. We knights fought valiantly, but for every one of them, we lost three score of our own. Exhilaration,pride,hatred,rage. The dragons teased out our dearest emotions. Thou will understand one day. At thy twilight, old thoughts return, in great waves of nostalgia.

Best line, best NPC.
