On ganks: the act of ganking, to a neurotypical person, is pretty boring. Most people would rather just play the game that they bought, which leaves a small portion of the playerbase for ganking. They obviously do it with their friends, because random summons want to fight bosses, not stand around Limgrave/Liurnia for 15 minutes at a time between single invaders.
So if you invade a dedicated gank squad, just sever and block. You wasted their time, and you'll never invade then again. Same if you get summoned into a gank, sever and block. I haven't seen a dedicated gank squad in months because I just exhausted the pool of gankers.

Ganks are no longer the problem, casuals and password summons are the problem. The proliferation of broken ashes of war, unique skills, weapons, spells has reached the event horizon where we basically cannot go back to anything resembling Dark Souls combat in multiplayer. It doesn't matter if it's a gank or little Timmy and his two level 300 bodyguards. Bring swift slash to every invasion or perish.

i think it's because miquella promised a world where he wouldn't be abandonned again or some shit.
you have to remember, not a single one of those you fight side with leda, they side with miquella, leda might as well not exist for them.
the same way ansbach and thiollier don't side with the tarnished, they are just against miquella, for their own reasons.

That's wack. I've hit it like fifty times now between invasions, co-op, and arena stuff, and I've never gotten a magical one shot. If the first hit connects the swing and the fire do a pretty parcel of like 700-800 together, but nowhere near 1900.

The entire reason they added different scalars and modifiers for pvp was specifically to avoid this.

what I liked about sekiro and non-elden ring games was that you didnt have to memorize every single string and know where the safe zones/rolls are. with elden ring it's heavy memorization based you cant intuitively figure things out

some particle effects on the ground you can roll through and jumping hits you, and vice versa etc etc "lack of skill" was probably bad phrasing but you still have to memorize the bosses moves before you can use that skill

Gideon Ofnir warns us about the cocoon and tells us to handle it.

The actual lore is this dlc is post Elden Beast fight. Gideon is no longer around but we still remember his advice
in the undetermined amount of time it has been since mohgs defeat we head back to find out Leda and her gankers already found a way into the shadowrealm through the coon.
We follow suit unbeknowest to them we are Elden Lord, they chimp out after finding out and everyone is there to stop us.
multiple threats to our power:previous FF Lord, Metyr, Romina, and the newest GOD miquellaRadahn. the entire dlc is us defending our position as lord and handling the coon

In DaS2 when I invited myself into some players world blue's wirth the "I've killed 30 red scum without dying" aura were on my nuts before I could even SEE the fucking host.

Blueing in this game there's a significant chance the host or invader will be dead by the time the game even starts the call to summon you to the world.

What are the most fun dexfag weapons in ER? Playing through base game right now for the first time, RL54 at about the Rodahn/Lydnell point in the game. Power isn't my problem it's just that all the weapons I've found feel pretty boring to use. I was using Hooked Claws for a while.. and now I'm leveling Serpentbone Blade... which is less one-note but still not anything special. Especially since I like using shadowstep, and the Serpentboner's AOW can't be swapped and is basically the same as its R2 so I'd prefer a weapon I could quickstep with, or had a cooler L2.

Depends massively on the weapon

it's the worst of both worlds. blues serve absolutely no purpose in elden ring, they're worthless.

The fact that they implemented the Scadutree Blessing system should have been the first thing to tip you off. It allows them to just ignore the scaling and balance of the base game (already questionable) and they can deflect any criticism to "well did you explore everywhere and get your near-mandatory buffs?" You see people sucking FROM's dick and echoing the sentiment everywhere already.
>oh, the DLC isn't too hard/frustrating, you just haven't gotten enough blessings
>nevermind how hard the numbers are jacked up and how annoying enemy/weapon/spell movesets become
The whole thing is just an excuse they painted as a "fun" mechanic that encourages exploration.

No, you can invade other people's private parties now. The mod maker enabled global invasions like in the main game, so casuals have to go into the file settings and opt out of invasions by changing the ini connection files.

I joined a party that was a 4 man group ear the divine tower of limgrav eand I killed two of them, but the host and friends are allowed to use the warp gates and the invader can't, and doesn't have a respawn finger to relocate, so there are ways for the host still chicken out.
Over all its pretty fun, 4 v 1 was awesome because none of them were max level retards spamming WA all day and I made a fair build so I wouldn't steam roll them.

It's entirely subjective. Rule of thumb is that pure melee chars should always have 60 vigor and hybrids/pure casters should push towards 50-ish at least (and some casters can probably afford to go as low as 40, but personally I'd stop at 45).

Up to that point, you're probably fine albeit in for a challenge. I think my blessing was only around 8-10 or so around that point and I was playing around with all of my underleveled new toys. There come points where the enemies are just too erratic and/or have too much damage for it to be considered a fun challenge anymore. The final boss is a prime example because it also shits out screen-filling nonsense on top of
>extremely high damage
>high health
>fast attacks that demand exact timing, some of which are nearly impossible to avoid
>huge AoEs on more than half of its attacks
>combo strings get ridiculous
>hardly any recovery time between those combos
They use the system as a scapegoat for some of their poorest design decisions to date.

You don't need to play it with friends. Its basically playing the game without EAC on, that just so happens to have a revamp summoning system so everyone is always connected together.
And with invasions enabled, well, the casuals can't hide anymore. At least one person in the target group will be experienced so it wont be a mindless roflstomp.

How exactly is spending 30 minutes having fun fighting invaders different from having 30 minutes having fun fighting enemies? It's not like more progress = more fun
>>
>>484346630
Maybe because AoE attacks being shit out after every attack isn't fun design? It doesn't just fuck with roll spammers. It creates screen clutter, vastly restricts movement options, and means there is less emphasis on learning the movements of the boss itself and more on learning the timings and safe zones for colorful explosions that are often threaded into other attacks or come out with very little delay from certain enemies.

So I have a theory based on the hero class being implied to be horah's descendant and the whole "tarnished is a child of marika due to us waking up near a walking mosoleum" thing.

What I mean is that is de-emphasizes the movements of the boss, as in the body of the boss itself, and its attack patterns in favor of forcing you to dodge oftentimes deceptive explosions that are frankly just annoying for many of them.
The perfect example is in how Radahn phase 1 is fine because, while execution is tight in some places, you're mostly just learning how to evade his fast, unrelenting sword swipes and the occasional gravity attack. He's still a bit manic for my taste, but he's not as obnoxious as phase 2. Phase 2 just throws a bunch of extra explosions around to extend his reach and obscure his patterns further. Not only is it a pain to have to dance around all of the explosions, but it honestly just makes what should be cool, awe-inspiring attacks into something horribly mundane.

>>484347454
I've already beaten the boss, so it's not like I'm especially bad at the game. It's just annoying. Shitting AoEs all over the place simply is not fun. Even if you learn it, it's far more stressful. Evading AoE spam and erratic, fast rushes of attacks isn't as fun to me as more methodical attack patterns.
The previous games still required proper execution for the most part, but they played at a slower pace where spacing and timing were important.
>and no muh flashbangs at least, way better than the other disingenuous little shits
While not really a reason to dog on the fight itself, visual clutter can be an eyesore for people. It's a valid complaint for people to have. It's not the same as "I literally cannot see, what the fuck," but overly flashy things can be tiresome.

Messmer is actually a fair fight. I mean that unironically as a person who hates From's balancing direction.
Every single last one of his attacks has visually distinct tales and his only shitty "i'm winding up my arm I'm gonna come getcha" delayed bullshit is his grab. Everything else can be reaction dodged.

What's more while I can't say I'm a fan from a personal standpoint, his phase 1 moveset requiring positioning checks to avoid having your shield bypassed is legitimately good design. The things that matter in that fight is a VERY minor amount of memorization, and mostly pattern recognition, reaction speed, and movement.
He doesn't even have roll immune bullshit like most of the DLC bosses have where i frames will run out before the attack ends even at frame perfect dodging.

That combo attack where he does like 50 thrusts has next to no hitbox near his body so rolling into him will avoid the entire attack clean.
Messmer is a good fight.

>>484346839
>are legit getting skill issued
By that metric, the only time this isn't the case is if the boss has attacks that literally cannot be evaded or blocked. With enough skill, you can beat anything so long as it can be hit and you can evade its attacks. There's still a point of reasonable and legitimate versus bullshit difficulty.
>maybe there could be more downtime. Ya the combos go on for an absurdly long time
That's sort of the point. Calling out missteps in design is fair criticism. Yes, it's beatable, but you're left with far slimmer margins of error and those margins narrow even further if you didn't land on a handful of especially strong tactics.

I use the regular dueling shield in my off hand. I'll probably be fine. I love that fucking weapon so much man.
Literally every other weapon type has been ruined for me and I love it in either hand or two handed. I can put it with any build and immediately enjoy the build more. The only weapon type I don't like paring with it is paradoxically daggers. Because daggers have low poise damage off handed and also slow cancel speed into shield bash.

It's Valorheart on fucking crack. Valorheart was relatively dogshit inside PvE and (with sufficient skill) were monsters in pvp. While Dueling Shields slaps in all content. (Carian's Guard Thrust having 100 guard boost is getting nerfed so hard though)
I'm not exaggerating when I say that I will, from now until fucking forever, cheat in a dueling shield on every single character I make in this game anytime I replay it until the end of time.

I fucking LOVE my Dueling Shield.

It's kinda confusing, but generally skill means some base function of the weapon that is its ability, like parking
Assessment of war are likw specialized ones that are things you APPLY to the weapon.
Exception being special weapons which have inbuilt unique ashes of war already applied
>>
>>484348653
Canonically speaking
Marika immediately hooked up with an int/faith build after banishing godfrey
2/3 carian women fell for faith builds, int/faith and dex/faith respectively showing a pattern likely true for ranni
Leda, malenia, and potentially radahn simp for a miquella who's a faith build in his fight
Millicent is a fragment of malenia and likely lasts for faithcock like her mother
2 dragons have canonically fallen for faithchads, vyke and godwyn respectively
Rykards sword requires faith and tanith is raising his daughter she's so in love with him

Faith cock is unbeatable, unstoppable, unyielding.

>>484349415
>>484349269
Though that's literally like just semantic I shpuld say sorry if that wasn't clear sorry, like yeah they're identical otherwise. Basically everyone just uses thw word ashes of war to mean any skill or ash of war

>>484349148
Impaler and Flaming Fire knight greatsword. Many faith infusions prefer dex over str. Its just less common since big unga bunga with minimal str and all faith is the go to when you cant pump dex enough.

Slamming your head into a wall will eventually either allow you to memorize the cracks or lead to brain damage. Tough call as to which comes first.
I helped my friends with the Putrescent Knight, and they kept dying during it, so I spent a lot of time learning the ins and outs of his moves. I could probably do that fight in my sleep now.
To be clear, I think that fight is perfectly fine. The boss has ample window for you to "take your turn" after its combos and they aren't jerky, too fast, or throwing too much at you at once.
On the other hand, Radahn demands a lot more out of you because he meets nearly the full checklist of awkward boss design
>huge health and damage values that are basically only "normal" if you leveled your blessing
>large body, but doesn't get a pulled out camera like some bigger bosses do
>very fast for his size, leading to camera weirdness
>low start-up on moves (though still readable for most of them)
>trailing effects on most attacks
>low recovery time means you get very little time to punish his combos
>awkward timings on some of his combos make them hard or nearly impossible to dodge the full string
>phase two adds additional trailing attacks and range
>and explosions
>and he strings his attacks together more often and for longer
>and his model is expanded by Miquella's flowing locks, which can block the camera if you stick too close to them
And he goes into phase 2 at 75% as opposed to 50%, so you have less time with the easier to handle part of the fight.
It feels like they just tossed in every idea for how to make the fight hard but without considering if those things were necessarily fun, engaging, and balanced. Rote memorization and broken builds are the majority of how you see people power through it, but I don't think that necessarily makes it "fair challenge."

ENTER: TANKCHADS

WE DO NOT ROLL. WE DO NOT BUFF. WE DO NOT USE AOW OR SPELLS. WE HOLD OUR SHIELDS UP AND EAT EVERYTHING THESE LITTLE BOSSES THROW AT US. WE RAISE OUR SPEARS AND RAPIERS AND WE POKE THEM. THEY FLAIL ABOUT, PERFORMING THEIR INFINITE DELAYED ATTACKS AND COMBOS ALL FOR NAUGHT. OUR STAMINA BARS HAVE NEVER DEPLETED. WHILE THEY FUTILELY TRY TO GET PAST OUR DEFENSES, WE SLOWLY POKE THEM WITH THE MIGHT OF AN ANGRY WASP, THEIR HEALTH BARS GRADUALLY DRAINING WHILE OURS REMAIN UNTOUCHED.

CRY ABOUT CHEESE, ABOUT BRAINLESS GAMEPLAY, IT ONLY MAKES US STRONGER. WHILE YOU ARE STUCK ON RADAHN FOR 8 HOURS, POORLY DODGING HIS INFINITE LIGHT BEAMS, I HAVE ALREADY POKED HIM TO DEATH FOR DOZENS OF HOSTS.

WE ARE UNSTOPPABLE.

I have a question, what would a "canon" tarnished build look like? I tried looking over everything from promo images and trailers and while raging wolf is most commonly used, I see him using faith, int, str, and dex weapons. Is he a jack of all trades?

>>484350081
The Tarnished is most likely to go for one of the mending rune endings, and I assume that by the time like the 'canon' Tarnished wins, she probably has learned all the secrets and little facts of the world, which would imply she was able to cast Law of Tegression to learn that Marika is Radagon.
So that implies a hefty faith investment.
Godfrey says that your strength befits a crown, and I don't think he would necessarily say that if the Tarnished like stayed and nuked him with spells from a mile away, so I imagine it's atleast partially melee focused.
So probably a dex/faith or str/faith build.

You can get a full combo off on most bosses in base game outside of some of the heaviest shit like colossal weapons. A lot of them have ample holes in their strings or long enough recoveries that there's plenty of time to get in, though it's risky on some of them. Even Margit, who people like to call a casual filter, has opening where you can fit a full combo before he resumes.

>>484350770
The point of the original post is there you don't get to enjoy the full moveset because you almost never have time to use it on many of these bosses.

The argument is more about that Souls combat really isn't all that good for these type of fights

Also, Base Game has a ton of Bosses that allows full strings of combos, so you're actually making 0 sense

No it isn't, Elden Ring integrated the versatily of skills and moveset far better than any game since the original Dark Souls did. It's the one that feels more fresh and with more actual options. Your claim is by itself a testment to how varied and unique the experience of playing different weapons is in this game.

No, you have far less options to be aggressive and to engage ib your own terms. It is however far more streamlined and casual, especially due to more lenient and abusable boss design.

Morgott is easily the most well-adjusted of them. He just wants wannabe Elden Lord Tarnished to fuck off and stop making a mess of his city. He's doing his best as the king of a fucked city and warding off invaders personally where appropriate.

This is objectively incorrect. It integrated skills and such poorly. THE universal criticism of Elden Ring is how easy it is to completely break the game apart if you attempt to minimax even slightly due to how the balancing of skills and abilities work.

The amount of power Miyazaki wants to give the player and the amount of power he wants to give the boss are at odds with the limits of the combat itself - which is part of the reason why people hate Radahn so much.

seamless lets you play with your friends on the same instance without needing to "summon" eachother. Basically like a Skyrim Together mod.
You could only connect with other people that have the mod and same coop password, but it uses the steam match making.
The mod maker finally decided to enable invasions, so as long as you booted with the seamless coop launcher, the steam matchmaking will connect you to other seamless players and you will invade them as normal.

Its not entirely perfect. Spawn placements are so much worse than base game, you dont get a respawn finger because you aren't a red phantom, and a lot of stuff you cant interact with that the host and his party can such as warp gates and such.
The good part is that you have access to all your flasks, and because EAC is disabled, you have better hit registration so fights are a lot more fair.
Im using a fair build to invade, but nothing is stopping you from Nanaya deathblighting these suckers to death or (if you are a turbo asshole) attempting to Cheat Engine.

You're not going to pull a full combo of nearly anything on Radahn. Unless his AI goes dumb for a moment, he recovers from most of his combos too quickly to throw out a full combo, safely or no. Only a handful of exceptionally fast weapons can get in a full combo on him typically.

That has nothing to do with the Ashes of War, it's the general balance issue that every From game has. Bloodborne, despite its smaller scope, has equally bad balance issues and is just as easy to break. Most of the game breaking in Elden Ring comes from summons and Elden Ring was actually supported and had its cheese skills and spells toned down. Even if it was as brekable as you claim it is through ashea of war and weapon, that's nothing conpares to previous games. Dark Souls 1 and Bloodborne didn't need a complex and expansive system of skill customization and 300+ weapons and 200 spells to be broken and have unbalanced shit like Black Knight weapons or the Drake Sword, nobody cared because it was fun and people used what they wanted to use. You are scapegoating this in Elden Ring because you are crying about the latest "hard for the sake of hard hurr durr" boss
>The amount of power Miyazaki wants to give the player and the amount of power he wants to give the boss are at odds with the limits of the combat itself - which is part of the reason why people hate Radahn so much.
Shitters hate Radahn because that's what shitters do. They cried consistently at every boss at every step of Souls games in over a decade. First it was Ornstein & Smough, then Nameless King, then Friede, then Midir, then again Malenia,... Funny how they gradually became good bosses after the first kneejerk reaction. This series has been filtering retards and called buzzwords "clunky" and "outdated" since before its first game even released at all, the bitches today are just as ridicolous and clownish as those crying back then

I really wish this game wasn't so hard. LGS has a really fun moveset and I just muled over Leda's gear to a new character for a fresh playthrough start to end, and went and cheezed greyoll for the stats to use it and went back to fight the sentinel and won after dying once, but I didn't get to enjoy the moveset at all. I didn't even look at my character, this game is so difficult all my attention was on the sentinel, I knew my spacing and knew the r1 button would hurt it, but not once did I actually see my character swing their sword.

I guess the point of my blogpost is I don't like how this game being so difficult forces (me, at least) to laser focus on what I'm doing and miss the enjoyment of the forest for the trees, so to speak.

Technically, the hintherlands, the ancient ruins of Rauh and the abyssal woods (as well as the areas to get there) are all through Shadow Keep

But the rememberance bosses that need shadow keep are Messmer, Romina, Metyr, Scadu Avatar, Gaius, Radahn and Midra
The ones that don't are Rellana, Putrescent Knight and Dancing Lion.
So the majority of the bosses do need Shadow Keep.

No, I hate radahn phase 2 because there's too much particle vomit and I can't fucking see, his shadow clone attacks make my PC and almost every other PC stutter like crazy, and he's got that triple hit combo that's undodgeable and converts into taking massive holy damage because of how it now has lingering magic damage. Take the dick out of your mouth, bitch.

>Shitters hate Radahn because that's what shitters do. They cried consistently at every boss at every step of Souls games in over a decade. First it was Ornstein & Smough, then Nameless King, then Friede, then Midir, then again Malenia,... Funny how they gradually became good bosses after the first kneejerk reaction. This series has been filtering retards and called buzzwords "clunky" and "outdated" since before its first game even released at all, the bitches today are just as ridicolous and clownish as those crying back then
No they didn't.
Ornstein & Smough were never bad nor bitched about. Nameless King still has a horrible first phase with a dreadful camera which is the valid criticism that still applies. Friede never had anyone bitching either, and Midir is still a terrible boss mechanically like all big dragon battles (including Bayle by the way and Placi). It's just everything else that's absolutely amazing. And Malenia is still a poor overtuned boss with a lifesteal that should be on a per hit basis and an attack that's not consistently dodgeable.
The criticisms that existed at the time exist now and are still valid and anyone that's actually played these games still knows what's wrong.
NONE of those bosses are as bad as Radahn except maybe first phase Nameless King.

>You're making shit up
No, I'm not. This has been a consistent complaint with many Elden Ring bosses and it has NOTHING to do with visibility (which is actually not impaired at all). AoE (or, in replacement, the multi-hit attacks that get you if you don't dodge into the correct direction) are the bane of the shitters which cries because he can't quickstep into the face of bosses and must abide to direction input even after timing dodges correctly.
Yes, it's hard at first to tell the same zones for some moves (particularly the final upwards combo finisher that raises an expanding aoe all around him, but Bloodborne is the game where bosses just break lock-on and/or jump upwards into the ceiling and attack you out of fucking nowhere unless you know what they are doing

Ludwig wasn't bad. The only boss that was legitimately bullshit were prepatch Rom when those stupid fucking spider adds could jumping one shot you and that piece of shit Laurence who put both dorito demons to shame.

Early bloodborne had a different problem where the game was too fucking easy due to memory leaks if you let the game run for too long, breaking a substantial amount of the bosses and completely neutering Grandpa, Wet Nurse, and technically some-say-cosm

The counter culture used to be "you didn't beat it", at least on /v/
But that got popular, so now the counter culture is "self gimping is cringe"
A lot of it stems from people getting filtered and finding bad and good rationalizations for why it's ok for them to make the fight much easier for themselves instead of adapting
Anyone not with the same mindset gets attacked because they are trying to overcome a challenge that other people gave up on
Not summoning is essentially implicitly telling those people you think you're better than them, and that makes them mad

You don't know what posts I was making before this, you're just seething and crying because people don't like [thing] and as usual default to the "the only possible reason to dislike [thing] is because you're too bad at the game to beat it" argument which means you urgently need to touch grass and play any other game besides ER. Nobody cares about your blind fanboy adoration for a boss fight that's so clearly poorly balanced that it breaks the game's engine and causes massive stuttering whenever the boss uses a magic attack. Or features moves with a whopping 10 frames of windup. If you want to complain about how YTBTG, do it on /v/ but I have the feeling they'd just laugh at you and post their antspur greatshield builds.

a lot of those trap/ambush enemies like the lizard imps in the catacombs are programmed to attack the moment a PC walks within range. Eventhough enemies are not aggro'd to me because im an invader, im still considered a PC in the seamless coop and the lizard ambush will trigger, not hit me because im an invader, and then go back to idle position.

Ask yourself an important question
"Are infusions as cool as visual effects from weapon buffs"
But no the real answer is that the Dueling Shield takes an untennable hit to guard boost when elementally infused, so buffs are all I have to make up the difference
But also I really fucking like buffs so I'll fucking NEVER infuse my fucking weapon with an element

Also fuck me I was using the wrong dueling shield. Thank god I just spammed lighting bolts on the dragon until it died.

Friede input read so aggresively you could break her AI everytime she went stealth by doing open handed bare parries into nothing, which caused her script to take priority making her dash towards the PC
But because she's invisible, she won't actually attack unless the dash makes her make contact with the player's body.

Input reading that fucking hard is retarded.

Elden Ring and Shadow of the Erdtree bosses received the same amount and type of criticism as the bosses of every other game in the series. What makes the bitching against Nameless King and Friede and Midir "shitpost" but the bitching against Messmer and Radahn legitimate? It's all the same circlejerk around the same emotional reaction the majority go through over actually learning how to play

usually yes but ever since the DLC dropped builds are just going way further than the standard stat spread. The whole idea of infusions being flat out better comes from builds that were hovering around 120-130. When you have that much faith AND dex buffing starts to become more viable.

>>484354962
The first two of those are actually fun so go fight them
>>
>>484354948
First off, anyone that calls out Namelss King's first phase isn't shitposting. The only way to do that part is without lock in and it's a cancer.
And it's about majority opinion and general concensus. Friede was the highlight of the DLC and remains that.
And as far as Midir's concerned, lots of people bitched the fight was cancer. I don't disagree, it's an annoying fight. But it's also equally as good as Bayle or Placi in terms of spectacle.
Also, I've barely seen anyone bitch that much at Messmer. It's been all about Rellana and Dancing Lion (and those, by the way, are shitters that don't understand how the fucking scadu tree system works, feel free to disregard that) and Radahn.

Neither are the people who criticize Elden Rung or Shadow of the Erdtree bosses, (mathematically, just by looking at reviews themselves).

You're lifting these random single posts as if that proves a point. It's not going to. Random posts don't prove a consistency. Feel free to make a nice little collage if you want to waste time and I'm STILL going to dimiss it because I was there and I remember what the reaction to Friede was.
Also if I was willing to just accept when shitters cry I'd have to admit Rellana or Dancing Lion are bad bosses. They're not that bad really. Rellana's perfectly fine and Dancing Lion's just got some camera jank. Not even that bad considering we're comparing shit to things like Nameless King and Midir. So no this isn't SOLELY about just the people that say it's too hard. Because in that sense you're right there's always been people like that.
The difference is that Radahn is actually a badly designed boss. while Friede isn't.

The mechanics of almost every boss are "come back with the gear that trivializes the boss," ie Radahn and bleed greatshield tanks. The blackpill that most people don't want to admit is that ER bosses mostly amount to "have you outgeared the boss with type weaknesses and status effects yes/no?" ER is an RPG, but an MMO-flavored RPG, wherein statsticking the boss to death with the meta equipment is 95% of the battle.

Alright so, we see that miquella charms people by kissing them, yet, this charm doesn't actually last long AND can be broken. We know mohg while charmed "shared a chamber" with miquella and he was obsessed until he died meaning he didn't just kiss him. Based on this, it's likely miquella's bodily fluids that are able to charm people. With this let's look at two of miquella's most dedicated followers, malenia and consort radahn. Notice how intensely loyal both are to him, notice how even after his charm breaks both are enraptured by him. I propose, like mohg, miquella first kissed, then raped radahn and malenia. It's very possible he's done the same to leda and dane. He may actually be a hypno rapist.
>>
>>484355781
>let me guess, muh flashbang
Yes? Why do you say it as if that's not one of the criticisms?
Also the meteor, the after image attack, 3 swing combo, the over aggression that gives less to no punish windows, the fight starting with the obligatory instant attack at the gate which to make matters worse isn't even consistent.
And I'm sure you'll post some video of someone clearing it naked with SL1. Unfortunately for you, the fact some people are into cbt doesn't mean the rest of us like having our nuts crushed.
And this is just mechanically. Thematically the boss is shit too. Not properly alluded to, ruins the characterization of both characters involved in the boss battle as well as a third one.. The only good part of the presentation is the OST. Absolutely dreadful rewards with two weapons that are reskins of each other using the moveset of an already existing weapon that's flat out better.
And yes, these things matter and can't be dismissed, otherwise the Bayle fight wouldn't be the best fight in the DLC, and Midra's wouldn't be the second best.

I just managed to do it without any summon/shield/deflect/perfume or proccing bleed/stagger once. The most bullshit thing he does is incinerate your GPU with his phase 2 opening move so you have to buy a new one for every attempt. I think he's actually a fun boss, I suck at this game too but I don't think every puzzle needs to be designed in way that can be solved in one sitting. It took me a couple of hours over 2 days, he's very hard but not literally impossible or bullshit

If people can dodge perfectly and consistently with zero room for error, then they understood mechanics and intracacies of the boss moveset that you did not

it hits a few times in the center of the arena then does a big nuke that covers most of the arena. it is dodgeable but you'd be better off doing what they want you to do, which is run away to the other end of the arena. just note that radahn has 3 possible entry points for his meteor based on your position when he jumps. he can't come from directly over the Gate of Divinity.

No, people posted the one run where they managed to not hit it despite the fact the bosses moveset does not allow even perfect play to consistently do that. This is again the Malenia situation with waterfoul where people argued it was dodgeable consistently. It isn't. It never was.
>It doesn't
Look at least say you don't care about the presentation and story of the fight. It's better than just showing you've got no argument

Between what? The two new ones? Sure I suppose. The starscourge swords are still better overall though. And they're still ultimately reskins of each other with the exact same moveset as starscourge. No effort put in whatsoever.

Again, the build up trumps is the major reason it's such an good boss. And he only has two attacks like that.

>This is again the Malenia situation with waterfoul where people argued it was dodgeable consistently. It isn't. It never was.
Malenia's waterfowl is, indeed, dodgeable consistently, which is but one of the many options
>Look at least say you don't care about the presentation and story of the fight
I care, Radahn and Miquella is a great boss, the story and lore aroubd their vow actually makes sense, and you are the one who chimped out back when leak released regardless of context because you were prejudiced.
>And they're still ultimately reskins of each other with the exact same moveset as starscourge. No effort put in whatsoever.
Every single final boss weapon has been a reskin with a new weapon skill. Gael and Soul of Cinder were exactly the same. Gael in particular had also an altered versiob of a base game weapon with a new weapon art. Now it's 2 different ashes of war and a spell. Again, disingenuous arguments and criticism in bad faith, go fuck yourself

Spirit ashes and npc summons are intended
If they weren't intended they won't be put there like how mausoleums feature no help because you're intended to duel these fuckers
That you refuse to use them is a personal (You) issue, either git gud and stop whining or admit you're shit and not some hotshot you think you are, yes having a lot of hours in previous games doesn't make you good, hours played mean literally nothing

So spirit ashes solve the camera being fucked when the boss dashes all over the place with ADHD visuals?

I think you've got way too much of your ego wrapped up in beating Radahn, anon, you're not arguing coherently anymore.

like everything it does is an attack the other dragons use but slightly different

summoning Igon is the worst part because nigger boss doesn't ever stop attacking, otherwise it's a joke like dragons in general

one cutscene doesn't make the boss good

his whole moveset is spamming frenzy fire and spinning around in an attempt to cheese you with fire chip and madness

No it isn't. This isn't true and depends entirely on the luck of your positioning. You cannot control it.
You can consistently not take damage from it, but dodging? No.
>I care, Radahn and Miquella is a great boss, the story and lore aroubd their vow actually makes sense, and you are the one who chimped out back when leak released regardless of context because you were prejudiced.
How exactly? We had no allusion or indication of their relationship for the entire base game. As far as we know they'd never spoken. The first time we had even any indication story wise this was going to happen was Freyja's questline at shadow keep. That's it. And I guess you could gleam it from the fact Radahn's necessary for the DLC.
It was not properly established and ruins the entire point of the Radahn fight and giving a mad warrior a final rest. It ruins Miquella's nuance and turns him into a Griffith expy. And it reduces any gravitas of the Malenia and Radahn fight into nothing but a LARP. It ruins both characters because their motivations become entirely seflish devoid of any honor, where honor was a alrge part of both characters
>Every single final boss weapon has been a reskin with a new weapon skill. Gael and Soul of Cinder were exactly the same.

Oh sure, it definitely was an exact fucking copy of an existing weapon. Of course it was.
Fuck yourself. You just want to get high off your own fumes. You're a filthy newfag that jumped on these games with ER and want to feel superior for it. I'm done with your shit.
>>
>>484358051
You have abysmal taste, but I suppose I should have expected this.
>>
>>484358101
There are 2 ways to consistently dodge it.
If you have enough distance then you run from the 1st attack.
If you are close you need to perform a perfectly timed dodge in the perfect direction after circling her for a bit which is totally intuitive.
>>
>>484357482
just practice it on something more easily grindable like normal fire pots, I don't think hefty and normal arcs are any different
>>
>>484358218
cope
you could have picked actual good fights like messmer or lion instead but you decided to defend trash
>>
>>484358276
>If you are close you need to perform a perfectly timed dodge in the perfect direction after circling her for a bit which is totally intuitive.
This does not work 100% of the time and that's the issue.
I know the damn methods my dude. I can even do the first one just fine. The issue is if she waterfouls in my fucking face.
>>
>>484356383
why is this still not a thing in base game? I wish to summon skeletons (not fucking tibia summons spell it is pure garbage yes even spamming rosus axe)

eat shit lmao
>>484358101
>No it isn't. This isn't true and depends entirely on the luck of your positioning. You cannot control it.
You can just run away and jump, yes even if you hit her with a colossal (with which you can also block)
>How exactly?
Because the Battle of Aeonia now makes sense, and it makes sense that Radahn lived by Godfrey's motto that a crown is warranted with strength and would concede his soul if defeated in battle.
>Oh sure, it definitely was an exact fucking copy of an existing weapon. Of course it was.
It always was. Artorias was a copy, Kalameet was a copy, Gael was also an exact copy with a different texture/style, what the fuck are you even on about? You got any real criticism? no? Fuck off then
>>
>>484359515
>Because the Battle of Aeonia now makes sense
a continent-wide crusade being a larp, dying unnecessarily to be reborn in omen body, destroying caelid for no good reason all make sense now?

It makes absolutely no sense because there was NEVER any set of of the relationship. The battle made perfect sense, it was a civil war and they were the two strongest demigods. The narrative of the battle is now ruined because Malenia rather than throwing away her pride to defeat a superior opponent, threw it away because of a damn larp. And Radahn's final death in the actual game's time is ruined as well.
>It always was. Artorias was a copy, Kalameet was a copy, Gael was also an exact copy with a different texture/style, what the fuck are you even on about? You got any real criticism? no? Fuck off then
Artorias sure but every other point you just made is false or misrepresenting.
>>
>>484358629
Read it again. No wonder redditors preface sarcasm with /s/.
>>
>>484359647
You can read Radahn himself saying he is the Lord of the Battlefield's Lion, that he wantwd to follow Godfrey's traces and prides himself of heritage with Radagon. His role as King Consort and his desire to be defeated in battle if he must die makes perfect sense in relation to his character

>>484360219
Sorry. If you'll note the reply chain I've been in this thread far too long.

>>484360226
except it was a larp and he was not meant to die, but to be resurrected in omen's / someone else's body
>>
>>484360058
>The battle made perfect sense, it was a civil war and they were the two strongest demigods.
No it didn't. It would make sense in that optic if Malenia put Leyndell under siege, since the Erdtree is Malenia's enemies. It never made sense for Malenia to go in Caelid and chase Radahn The Shattering itself was a mess of theiries before the DLC
>No she did it for the Great Runes
>No she didn't get Godrick Rune
>No she wasn't under Miquella's orders
>No she did it to prove she is the best
>No she did it because Radahn blocked the Stars
>No she did it
You are trying to clain there was already clear cut motivation for Radahn and Malenia fighting, but nothing made sense before the DLC
>Artorias sure but every other point you just made is false or misrepresenting.
No it isn't.
The Obsidian sword (Kalameet) has the same moveset as other greatswords but the special heavy attack (comparable to an Ash of War)
Gael's greatsword is an Executioner Greatsword with the same moveset but different weapon art like Radahn's Greatswords
And if you mean that the skin don't look identical, that's true for the base game vs DLC Greatswords too, so I don't know what the fuck you are talking about now.
>>
>>484360651
>except it was a larp and he was not meant to die

Are you retarded? Yes, he was meant to die for his soul to resurrect

Leyndell couldn't be taken. Radahn tried and failed.
>You are trying to clain there was already clear cut motivation for Radahn and Malenia fighting, but nothing made sense before the DLC
Yes. It was a war. There was never anymore than that
>The movesets are the same
My fucking dude what are you even on. The movesets of all weapons are the fucking same with minimal variations and the ashes of war, even in ER. It was the same in DS3 as well. I thought you meant that the skins looked the same or were reused.
Seriously what even is suppose to be this argument.
>>
>>484360814
I meant permanent death, dying when you come back, possibly a few moments later, is larp and a stupid idea
>>
>>484360949
>Leyndell couldn't be taken. Radahn tried and failed.
>Yes. It was a war. There was never anymore than that
That clearly isn't it. Again, you are not answering the question. Why Malenia and Radahn fighting when Mkquella's enemy is the Erdtree?
>>The movesets are the same
>My fucking dude what are you even on. The movesets of all weapons are the fucking same with minimal variations and the ashes of war, even in ER.
>Seriously what even is suppose to be this argument.
I'm asking you that. You claimed Radahn reward are "lazy" because the base moveset is the same as the Radahn greatsword in the base game. All Souls games do this, Gael's greatsword is in the base game witb a different weapon art, so what the fuck are you talking about? How is that lazy? what kind of double standard is that?
>>
>>484362047
>You claimed Radahn reward are "lazy" because the base moveset is the same as the Radahn greatsword in the base game
Because the swords are a one for one fucking copy not just sharing the same dual greatsword moveset.
>>
>>484362903
>Because the swords are a one for one fucking copy
no they aren't, they look different actually
>>
>>484346686
40 for the base game and 60 for the dlc to not get 2-shot
