I wouldn't call him the worst but yeah, this guy wasn't great
>Not necessarily more dangerous than his phase1
>Not fond of the "use this item you might have found to stun it" gimmick they also did for 'ohg and 'git
>Not to mention in this case the item works against a specific type of melee moves, not even the Black Blade attacks (the item literally reads "deflect the power of the Black Blade."
>When you do said parry with the item, he recoils back super hard over the animation because frick you for playing melee
>most of his moveset is honestly really weak with a lot of windows of opportunity, the very few rest of his moveset is disgustingly strong
>HP pool low enough that he can be bursted through before he has a chance to use said moves
Thanks for reading the blog
Imagine being so bad you have to use the stun item, oh my god LOL. What's next you used the trap for the first boss aswell ? Or gastogne playbox in bloodborne ? What a scrub.
I get an item, I use it
I never knew Margit had a shackle (in fact I missed Patched entirely), I found Mohg's shackle but was too stupid to understand its purpose
Fun thing to know: You can use margit's shackle to reveal fake walls and it has a pretty wide range.
>HP pool low enough that he can be bursted through before he has a chance to use said moves
This was the real problem with the fight. I played with Ultra greatswords and didn't need ot learn his moveset, I just traded blows with him and eventually killed him because his HP is way too low.
With a higher HP pool this boss would be amazing
I also like the item, because unlike the shackles, it requires some skill to use
>Uses UGS assuming dual because you said plural and not singular
>Whines boss dies fast even with low life
Malenia dies fast to 2 UG weapons. A boss should be possible through trades if you have high life/big damage that is the point of slow/high damage in a rpg.
All of what you described is a good thing
>Whines about him recoiling
Run up? You get like 2 jump attacks for free and he usually does something easy to avoid after he recovers so its back to neutral.
It's just counter intuitive than an enemy you disabled is moving backwards (especially since the Claw functions like an easier parry and parried enemies certainly don't scurry away)
Sure, once you've seen it, you get around it.
Have fun, she whooped my ass for a long while even with Tiche holding my scrubby hand
Not worth complaining about it though. His animation is also him covering his blinded eyes staggering back and swinging slowly/without accuracy. So it makes sense. Hes also a specific story boss. This seems like a nit pick for no reason from a weird parry homosexual who cannot just hold forward run the moment he lands the parry.
you did not beat the game
I like him.
Enjoyed it even more whenever I used pic related correctly.
Only thing I did not enjoy was his OST.
I'm visiting the haligtree right now. How do I go to farum azula? Is it optional? Can I miss it definitely for this current run if I "missed one hidden npc that spawns in the middle of nowhere where you don't have any reasons to go™" like it always happens in soulborne games?
Farum Azula is when you burn the Erdtree with Malenia after Fire Giant
You cannot miss it since it's mandatory to get the ending
if anything, you are currently in the "missed one npc" path, Haligtree is optional and its end boss is much harder than the "real" ending bosses.
Yeah I know that malenia is waiting for me at the end of the haligtree zone, I plan to use my mausoleum guys on this b***h. Or Tiche. Thanks.
Going to Farum Azul is mandatory.
Hes one of the best in ER.
>Doesn't have too much life so despite killing you fast also is a fast fight himself
>Pattern is less reliant on input reading yes i know that weird famous webm but still he rarely reads inputs compared to Malenia
>Phase 2 actually has a unique item mechanic that well not necessary makes the fight better.
Hes fun.
Dark souls 2 exists
They really fricked up with Ds2.
There are some good bosses but frick there were so many unnecessary ones.
Never understood why people get hissy over mini bosses. Having lots of bosses is better than not.
>Having lots of bosses is better than not.
So it's quantity over quality then?
Pic unrelated? Quantity over quality doesn't actually mean anything in practice and it's just something for people to say without really backing anything up. DS1 has the worst bosses and the least of them. In 2 more bosses than not at least reach a good enough quality threshold. Even something mediocre like Covetous Demon is still a fundamentally sound boss that isn't broken or frustrating. There's no Bed of Chaos or Dragon God.
I wanna frick that
Sure but DS2 had a lot more bosses to burn, so even if there's around 10 bad ones, it still has the best line up from the PS3/360 souls games.
DeS has far worse bosses than DS2.
There's so much fricking setup for every major fight in the game and all of the most feared and legendary being of that world end up being a fricking joke.
thought it was one of the better bosses, easy to sight read with nice tells and punish windows on all his stuff + he looks cool
With all due respect, Elden Ring arguably had the worst average boss quality of any of From's games.
A nice opinion, but I disagree.
We don't speak about that atrocity here anon, we only discuss the canon games here.
Counter balanced by the ridiculous amount of different enemies, even though some of them are a little overused (avatars, deathbirds, big worms) and the insane number of extraordinary zones. It's time to stop listening to discord trannies and respect Elden KINO.

im not a furry but damn.
Malenia is 300x worse. At least Malekith follows rules, gives big, consistent openings, and trades health for his damage. Malenia is a fricking DeviantArt OC in boss form.
nah malenia is easy compared to other bosses in the same game, the only catch is waterfowl and you can just equip BS if you dont feel like learning the timing
>Not using powerstanced colossal weapons to stunlock every late game boss and avoid having to dodge 15 hit combos for 10 minutes.
Demons Souls
I wish the fight started with him at full health or that it refilled. You can basically start with him at 40% HP if you hit beast clergyman with a good ash of war to begin the 2nd phase
His voice lines and moves are kino tho
>O death, become my blade once more…
I wish his fight was longer like the artorias fight where you just straight up fight him the whole time. Or at least make him more hittable and jump around less but give him more health
Fire giant and elden beast were both wayyyyy worse bosses
>Fire giant and elden beast were both wayyyyy worse bosses
I feel like Fire Giant had a lot of potential but his moves just don't fricking hit at all, it's insane.
I liked Beast but it was bit too much of an HP sponge and I generally disliked all kinds of
>please stand by and dodge all the shit as I do the moves. You may resume fighting me once I am done
I hate the fire giant so much, Fromsoft CAN'T do fights with giant monsters at all. The camera don't work with them, the lock don't work, you can't see shit if you're fighting them melee. Strangely I killed him in less than 10 seconds during the second phase. I know they worked a lot on animating him and it looked impressive and all but I didn't have the time to appreciate it. The very moment he opened his eye I threw everything I had and it was over in a blink. The first phase was so cancerous that I took the opportunity to kill him as fast as possible. What a waste.
Some giant monster fights are good

>ludwig

Bloodborne is too based to have bad bosses
>gaping dragon
He's pretty slow and supposed to learn you not to be greedy
>manus
The beginning of the dark souls 3 nonsense with a furry of barely readable attacks.
>demon from below/in pain
Best boss from the dlc, all the attacks are reasonably telegraphed.
>midir
Never fought him can't judge
Literally one of the best bosses they've ever made.
I walked forward and my controller misread the input abd I walked off the arena. Only death tho and the boss was really fun.
Unironically my favorite fight and I am fricking trash at these games. Had my friends over when I got here and we were drinking and they wanted to watch me clear the fight and I was like
>LMAO not happening
and then it did and it was fun. So yes. I kolled him whilst heavily intoxicated. You might suck!
Elden beast is the worst
Him and Malenia are absolute aids. Every time I fight him I make sure to have Waifu Tiche at 10, rotten breath and chadhound step.
Malenia is aids solo, but two people flicking between bonks does the job
I just cheese his ass. He is not a boss worth 'gitting gud' at. Fire a mimic ash up his ass then use the cheapest crap your build has access to.
