This fakkit took me several hours to beat not cuz it was hard per se but u die in two hits and it takes 1482 to kill him.

Abysmal experience. Then you start taking damage for parrying

The posture break is brutal in this game. Also Lies spoiled me with the ability to recharge heals. Only having 4 heals when bosses only a hour in has 2 phases is some nonsense.

The whole design philosophy of the game is inherently garbage. You lose way too much stamina for getting hit, use it to attack, block dash etc and if u get stunned u basically die. So u do ur little combo, fall back parry a million times repeat.

Its very slow paced, not “berserker” ish at all

That’s because the weapon in the bosses left hand has fire element

Not that I agree with this nonsense

but it’s to kinda “teach” you to brink guard the non-elemental attack and brink dodge the elemental as brink guarding status/elemental attacks gives you chip damage…

and more enemies have status/elemental as you go on

Two bosses away from the end and it’s the hardest shyt ever

Oh im aware of the reasoning, im just saying its piss poor game design. The brink guard is the defining defensive mech of the game and very early they introduce shyt that nullifies it. Its just annoying garbage. I bushed this shyt cuz if these early bosses are this poorly designed I could only imagine the nonsense once they i troduce nore status effects, flying bosses, magic based ones etc


shyt is ass but they got my 60 already so fukk it

No lies Dlc?



I think this fight is when everything clicked for me in this game. These bosses are still sponges but this game has burst options u can use to get these bosses hp down fast. Alot of people are playing this like traditional souls (roll and poke) and they are gonna be spending 15 mins with these bosses playing it that way lol. Abuse the burst damage/weak points.

Naw lol i can’t

I told yall from the demo this game wasn't it

This is the hardest "soulslike" game I've played. Absolutely brutal. The levels aren't difficult, but once you get to the boss you know it's gonna be a frustrating 10+ tries. Essentially, you have to be perfect and memorize every dodge/parry/opening. Since the bosses have so much HP it becomes a battle of attrition and endurance. Just beat Bellerian, game has me like .

 

[Hostile]

This shyt better than Code Vein?

Yeah this is my biggest issue with the game. The boss fights aren’t even always overly hard, they are just a fukkin grind sometimes. And because the HP is so ridiculous you never feel “strong” and it doesn’t matter what your build is.
