The Good Doctor Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I didn’t struggle with him as much as some of the other bosses because I was pretty good at the game by that point, but he’s definitely tougher than most of the others.

Sure you will fat roll but you'll also poise through any of their non grab attacks enough times to be fairly safe. By the time your poise is broken, you'll regenerate your poise before they hit you again. In a race against time, it's better not wasting stamina on rolling. Regardless of your build, this strat is effective. @The Good Doctor Logarius is probably the most annoying trek back to a boss in Bloodborne. Also a tiny part of me OCD's at the mandatory damage fall to reach him. Artorias isn't that bad when you get the elevator, keeping to the far right after the sanctuary bonfire you'll only encounter two garden tenders and nothing else. Well aside from the rare invader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCzarsHussar Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I don't know about you Doc, but I think you haven't played Ds2? Me and Balrog are the only ones here then that experienced the absolute hell that is a certain DLC's reskin of a boss. Said boss is a bit harder and has different timings but it's the trek to him that's so infamous.... And.... F r o z n O u t s k i r t s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witchking of Angmar Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 11 hours ago, The Good Doctor said: I think DS1 was okay. As far as I remember, the longest essential bonfire to boss run in the game is the Capra Demon, which was a little longer than I’m willing to put up with, but otherwise I don’t think most of them were excessive. I like having a bit of a run exist so that discovering shortcuts feels more rewarding. Capra Demon was bad. But the worst has to be the Scaleless Dragon. I still remember having to run across a large field and then down a huge pit where several bridges were invisible unless you went slowly and payed enough attention to the particle effects. Power corrupts, absolute power... is a whole lot of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBossBalrog Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 Half of the Souls modding community just announced Dark Souls Nightfall, it's a fan-sequel to the first game I've been aware of it for a few months now, but didn't know it was so big. All the big names are attached to it. Sounds super ambitious and cool. https://www.pcgamesn.com/dark-souls-remastered/nightfall-mod "Takes place "seconds" after the Darklord ending of 1. Takes place during the "Dawn" of the Age of Dark. -Main character is not the Chosen Undead. -Unlike Daughters of Ash, will not drastically change 1's lore, it is a sequel to it, not Daughters of Ash. Will not overwrite Dark Souls 2 and 3, "interquel" to those games. -Will have fully voiced NPC's, with professional level of quality. New cast of NPC's. -Map is a "twisted' disturbing reflection of Lordran, with completely altered paths and areas, with new assets, backgrounds, scenery, and secrets. -Combat has been heavily altered, playing more similar to Dark Souls 3 then the vanilla game. -Tons of completely new sets of armor, weapons, and items. -New enemies and bosses (though due to limitations, they are being reserved to remodels and reskins). All returning enemies from the base game will have heavily modified behavior and new abilities. -Eta on the first release of the mod is mid next year. A ton of work had already been put into it." "Takes place "seconds" after the Darklord ending of 1. Takes place during the "Dawn" of the Age of Dark." Favorite part That and the fact the combat is being modified and chanced to play like Dark Souls 3. What also is cool is apparently the mod already half done (release will be mid next year) and the head of the project is the Daughters of Ash creator, who already released one massive total conversion mod. Unlike alot of these big projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were much cooler back when I first played, thinking that their bodies had decayed so much and been twisted by the abyss. Not fucking knights wearing spoopy skeleton armor.

I actually prefer the armor explanation cause with the Ringed City you realize they based their armor off the Ringed Knights, and it's a cool lore detail.

Could’ve guessed that from the giant hole in the front. To me it looks more warped and corrupted than just some weird decoration.
