Melania is the only boss left to get the platinum. I promised myself I wasn't gonna use summons (used twice for godskin duo/mogh) but this fight is some bullshyt. I'm gonna rest up and go at it again. Corpse Piler does damage I just gotta avoid taking damage now.
Its a pride thing most of these fights are designed to use summons i can picture the game devs sitting back laughing at people hit their heads over the same wall 100 times while trying to solo some of these bosses that aren't even meant to be solo'd...I didn't even know she was optional till after I loss to her like 20 times...im just trying to beat the main story....this black blade malikeith MF is even worse...poorly designed boss its attacks can hit you through cover he's hardly ever on the ground for long...wildest attacks I've ever seen from a boss and it ain't close..

i've seen multiple videos of folks solo'ing radahn: no summons, no horseback even. i saw one dude solo radahn 100% melee. i ran that entire fight, spamming summons, lightning rods, FP potions and then arrows when i was out of potions. but hey. :yeshrug:

the game is meant to played the way you want to play it. and if you want to invest the hours it takes to get THAT good... more power to you.

also... from software basically birthed git gud. i dont think they're laughing at fans embracing these challenges, just because you dont see the logic in it. it's what their brand was built on. and please believe when i play through again i'm fighting every boss straight up. same way i cheesed demon of hatred my first playthrough and then spent hours learning how to beat him straight up.

The fights are balanced around the summons
Idk how anyone can deny that
Yes you can solo all of them (I already have) but that doesn't mean they were balanced around solo play.
It's obvious with how overly aggressive the bosses are and the massive over reliance on AoE explosion attacks compared to previous games they are balanced around having to attack multiple targets.
I'm really not a fan of the spirit summons and would have preferred if they were treated as their own class instead of a crutch.
