Thinking about doing the NG+2 for the DLC. What’s a good challenging NG+1 build to respec into?

Originally I was skrenff / bleed build.

Hardest shyt I’ve ever did

Notice the complete and total mastery of the Water Fowl :banderas:

Vid is a little long but because of my trash ass build the damage is less than optimal, it is what it is


Hey you erased my commentary

The fact that you can summon spirits to fight for you/with you cheapens the experience for me. I'm not getting the same experience out of this game as, say, Sekiro, where I would feel overjoyed when I beat a hard boss due to overcoming the level of difficulty. Just feels like i can cheese my way through bosses.

Do most of you summon spirits or just solo, no spirits?

You can play the game how you want
You don’t have to use summons, you can make the game as difficult or as easy as you please

That’s the beauty of the ring

What part of the game are you on?

You get a sense of being overpowered in the middle of the game but towards the end it’s even more challenging than sekiro without a spirit summon. For some of the fights towards the end you will be glad you have one:wow:

I just beat Radahn after being stuck on him for half a year lol. I put the game down several times bc I couldn't beat him. Then I just let the NPCs kill him while I just chilled on horseback and that was too anticlimactic for me but I just couldn't beat him. I have beat 3 gods now, I guess:godrick, rennala and Radahn. Just got to nikron city. Is that the middle?

You didn’t even fight the “real” Radahn.Even with the summons he was crazy difficult before they nerfed him. I came back and beat him later solo in new game+

Around the point you are now is where i started feeling myself. Thought that shyt was getting easy. But don’t worry they got something for yo ass:ufdup:

Oh so there is another version of Radahn that I fight later? I probably will do a new game + once I'm finally done.

Nah they nerfed Radahn a few weeks after launch cuz he was notoriously difficult. Still a great boss fight but they definitely cranked down the difficulty from when the game first came out

Yeah he's a tough boss bc of the projectiles. I haven't played much dlc in fromsoftware games, but out of Bloodborne, Sekiro and dark souls 3 I'd say demon of hatred was one of the toughest bosses, if not the toughest boss I've faced. Radahn with his projectiles is definitely up there though.

You know that’s optional right? The game doesn’t make you summon anything. I beat the game with and without summons and it was fun both times

And that’s one of the best things about this game, it gives you options on how you want to play

I'm guessing you beat it without summons the second run through? Yes I know I don't have to. It's just even having the option kind of changes the experience for me but I get what you're saying
