Midir. Because he takes ten hours to kill. 

God help you if you bother to fight him in later ng cycles.

Eh, I think it's a little over-exergerate. It's overturned ford sure, but the way people are whining are acting like the devs killed their favorite pet  They just posted this too. Ultimately I think weird balance being the biggest issue is a good thing because A, it's a demo. And B, it's an easy problem to fix. 

Midir is an end-game boss for a post-launch DLC  

A lot of the whining is from the classic gitless gudless. But there is some truly bad balancing. Such as the Carthus warriors able to tank two, two handed ultra greatsword r1s before staggering. Which makes them badass as fuck, but utterly broken with how fast they are.

Or how many bosses and enemies have frame zero attacks where you take damage instantly. Like Godskin Nobles blackflame belly but faster and more damage. There's also the matter of extremely low soul gain from enemies and bosses.

That said (and not addressing actual bugs like cleric beast reskins range attack being undodgeable), I still adore this mod. Where they've failed in balance, the team has made up for thousandfold with how beautiful the world is.

With all the complaints about Archthrones horrible balancing, it got me thinking. Which enemy in ds3 vanilla do you think is the most annoying to fight?

For me it's easily the Lothric Knights with spear and greatshield. They have blatant input reading and will almost always either raise their shield or shield bash you when you try and kick. Plus those lightning fast shield pokes. All other variants are so well balanced but that too

I warned you  

I did go through all of war torn and cathedral first. I just didn't know what the third area was meant to be. I unfortunately just happened to pick the HARDEST.

But I finally clapped the one eyed witch cheeks. Took insane parrying, patience and learning literally all of her moves. Which wasn't that terribly hard since it's Gundyr and corrupted monk, two bosses I love fighting

They did it. They actually did it.

 

  Reveal hidden contents

Made an awesome pre-Gywndallion Aldritch fight.

 

That was a... Fight. Almost said fun one. Took me two tries but had to play as if fighting Rom which sucked the fun out.

Hit and run

Hit and run

Hit and run 

So I was getting furiously salty about fighting the corrupted monk reskin but uh, turns out it's the hardest area in the game that I'm tackling a hundred levels underleved with a plus 3

How'd you fair with the Gertrude angelic gank? Took me about four tries due to them teleporting and being glued to each other.

Too bad he turns into Tree Spirit  (but its cool to see the original idea used). The Pus Beast was actually really easy for me. But I had alot of fire shit. 

Naw I loved every moment of it. I didn't (want to use my limited fire resources) so phase 2 didn't have terrible lot of damage. But I'm so used to fighting those things from my sl1 run that it was a breeze.

Got it second try, Lothric Godfrey is what slapped all my estus away the first try

@BigBossBalrogYooo holy shit the pus of man corrupted lothric knight with Godfrey's movement is insanely fun to fight! Got to phase 2 before running out of resources and homeward boning out.

Way more balanced than the bloodborne reskin

I think it's his Great Rune corrupting his appearance. That or he's been engaging in Dragon Communion (silted eye looks very indicative) and there's a chapel right by his stronghold. 

It's probably my resolution making his eyes look slit, because they're round pupils in the trailer.

Mod is fucking crazy. 

LMAO THE MORGOT BODY

Also interesting to see how different pre-rot Radahn looks from his siblings... before one got eaten and the other was a little too into dolls.

Maybe his prolonged conquest of the stars had that effect on him, or mastery of gravity magic? What do yall think? @BigBossBalrog @The Good Doctor @Elden Clown @ColonelKillaBee

Been on a binge watching several of the old trailers and noticed something neat. The Cleanrot Knight shown here doesn't have any of the rot-growths on or within the armor. Their petrification must have eventually came much much later... or when she had her aids explosion

I'd have never thought we'd peak with pirate games at Black Flag. But here we are

If  they'd gone with one zone, I'd get being annoyed, but the fact there demo's including ALL of the first stages for each throne, I think i'm a little lenient when it comes to delays 

Yee, I'm not annoyed at them delaying it, hell I hope they improved upon what was criticized. I'm annoyed that they hyped everyone up three times now only to pull the rug. 

Just now, BigBossBalrog said:

FOUR DAYS. 

This is the third or fourth time they've had a release date

I'll be pleasantly surprised if they stick with it this time.

Releasing in four days! 

 

No the hell it won't, come release day "Muh delay"

No, nooooo. Welp, it's canon that power armor helmets now flip up.

The reveal of Jessica being Harkonnen’s secret daughter was in the original novel. Paul discovers it while tripping out on spice and Alia later calls Vladimir "grandfather" while she knifes him.

No shit really?! I could have sworn this was later revisions like the "put your hand in the box" Reverend Mother being Paul's granny.

secret heir to the Harkonnen Barony…

That's the kind of stuff that was added after Frank Herbert's death, that his son wrote. So take it wish a grain of sand.
