Personally I don't think a boss needs to be mandatory to be controversial. Malenia can be controversial either way because you can still think the fight is bad without actively doing it all the time. Also, the strategy of just avoiding her is pretty unusable for a first playthrough especially because it feels terrible to have that one thing just left out and not done
@SJ-di5zu

“It’s a great boss! Just don’t fight it.” Yeah, doesn’t really sound like a great boss to me. Fact is Waterfowl is grossly overtuned. It’s cool-looking and I love the idea, but there’s a million ways FromSoft could’ve fixed it yet they took none of them. Let me list some: Make the first flurry shorter so that the player can roll through it with good reflexes. This would make the attack feel badass to dodge while still being very challenging. Running away from it just looks stupid and weak. Allow us to use our shield without Malenia healing. No-brainer. Just take away the heal effect all together. She’s hard enough as is. Have her hang in the air for about one full second longer to give us more time to run away. The way it is now, if you’re in her face and she activates the attack, you have no chance to run away in time. Make it do less damage. It would still be unfair, but at least it wouldn’t instantly kill you. Literally any of these changes would make Malenia a great boss, but no.

One time I managed to fall off an upper level down to a lower one that I shouldn't have had access to yet. I aggroed that hunter there, died to him while carrying over 40k in echoes, then died to the first patient up the stairs on the way back, because I'm a dumbass.

My vote for hardest area ( on a first playthrough) in Elden ring is the subterranean shunjing grounds. If you take the time to explore everything, you are guaranteed to run into some nonsense. They put a lot of the bs enemies in one labyrinth of an area and called it good. The boss in the area is way more forgiving than the area itself. In subsequent playthroughs, once you know your way around, you can run past 90 percent of things in here and unlock doors and gates in case you die. I also would say mohgwen palace is awful on a blind run. The haligtree, while difficult, isn’t too bad as long as you avoid the revenants and ganking

Malenia being optional does not make her immune to criticism or controversy. Technically the entire game is optional, since I doubt anyone is forcing you to play it, so by that logic there's no point having any opinions or criticism of anything in it. And for the record, I am in the camp that thinks she probably would have been a decent boss in sekiro, but in dark souls just feels like lady maria as designed by a caffeinated 12 year old. Not even difficult if you use spirit summons and/or cheese (you know, like how the developers intended her to be fought and what she was designed around), but then everything in elden ring is a complete push over like that.

Have you ever noticed how Frigid Outskirts, Cave of the Dead and Iron Passage start with the same weird statues that are also in front of the DLC doors where they have a developer message stating that summoning signs placed here are getting channeled far away? That's because they are coop challenges with an increased summoning limit that allow you to summon players that don't even own the DLC. In coop Iron Passage also makes a lot more sense as one player can pull the lever to let others through the gate so they can take care of the Astrologers on the upper path. They are raid dungeons that were designed to be done as a group. It's not hard if you play it as intended as summon people.

I think I landed just the one parry on the first shark, but when his health got low enough for him to wander off to trigger the 2nd to fall off the ceiling, I shanked him with a shaman bone blade and that made things much easier for me. I'm also grateful the 2nd shark has way less hp than the 1st one.

Demon's Souls: Island's Edge Dark Souls: Blighttown or Sens's Fortress - Personally, I don't find Duke's Archives to be all that hard. Just use positioning and the environment to your advantage and it's all dandy. Dark Souls 2: Brume Tower - Dragon Shrine I love too, but it's one of the easiest areas. Kill the large knights only, and the smaller ones won't bother you. Plus, it's short. Bloodborne: Central Yharnam -Fishing Hamlet's hard for me only on certain parts, such as with the sharks and the Orphan. Otherwise, the enemies are surprisingly easy and basic. Dark Souls 3: Ringed City or Lothric Castle (+ Grand Archives) Sekiro: Ashina Castle (+ Reservoir) Elden Ring: Miquella's Haligtree

Wait what? Aside from the mandatory one near the end, I have never fought the smaller knights at Dragon Shine in DS2. They do not aggro you if you just fight the large ones before moving on to next area. Shrine of Amana for base game and Brume Tower for DLC's are easily the more difficult options.

6:25 my first experience with Bloodborne’s DLC *WAS* NG+. From firsthand experience, I can say it was a nightmare to go through (Pun intended) and the Orphan of Kos forever solidified himself as the single hardest boss I’ve ever fought in any video game ever. Three entire days. The rush I got beating him can never be matched by anything ever again.
@SolaScientia
Жыл бұрын
The Orphan was pretty bad for me on just NG, but I was saved by the fact that I could backstab him after that jump he does in phase 1 and how reliably I could parry him (also in phase 1). I got him down to around 1/3rd health before phase 2 triggered and then I didn't bother trying to parry him, though I did get in a nice backstab after that blood AoE he does. Laurence was actually the worse fight for me. He has the most health of any DLC boss after The Living Failures, but he drops a measly 29.5k blood echoes; not even half of what the Orphan drops. I had so much trouble with him even with the highest fire resist stuff. I finally got through his stupid lava spewing final phase by down lead elixir and just tanking the damage. Doesn't help that his boss run is just about the worst in the game after Darkbeast Paarl's run (never had to run for the Shadows, Blood-Starved Beast, or Gascoigne).

Fighting Orphan of Kos with the Rakuyo makes minced meat out of him. Hardest boss in bloodborne was without a doubt Laurence, the First Vicar. He was so hard that he was an optional boss in the DLC.

@@sitizenkanemusic I hate fighting Laurence so much. I hate that they gave him the 2nd most hp of the DLC bosses (only Living Failures have more hp) and yet he drops a measly 29,500 blood echoes, which isn't even half of what the Orphan drops. I fought Laurence last in the DLC and finally ended up using lead elixir when he loses his lower half so that I could tank the worst of the fire damage from the lava. His boss run is also ass. Damn big-ass executioner in the way of the doors and most of the time he won't move his fat ass unless you bait him out and run around. I tried using the Rakuyo on the Orphan, but I was running a quality build and that weapon scales only with skill. Threaded cane for phase 1 and then untransformed saw cleaver for phase 2 worked for me.
@sitizenkanemusic
Жыл бұрын
@Paula Kiesling oh yeah, I definitely know how much of a pain that boss run can be - thank God for the rally mechanic so I can get SOME health back. But I'm out at least one or two blood vials by the time I reach Laurence (By the 8th time I lose to him, I'm out of patience, and my boss runs get sloppy). YES, lead elixir is a must for those bosses who are pure BS like Laurence. The Rakuyo is the most OP weapon in BB in my opinion. Yes, it's an S ranking with Skill. NG+ is so fun when you wreak havoc with the Rakuyo- Orphan didn't stand a chance. But Laurence was still extremely difficult even with the Rakuyo. The only thing that was difficult in obtaining the Rakuyo is that you have to kill BOTH those damned sharkhead monster fish. In the fishing hamlet. Not fun, but worth it.
@SolaScientia
Жыл бұрын
@@sitizenkanemusic I had the route memorized so well that I could usually get to the fog wall without needing to use a vial, but that also depended on just what happened with the executioner and the 2 mob enemies. I think Laurence is the only boss I used the lead elixir for. I think I tried it with the Bloody Crow. That fight took me ages too. I finally upgrade the axe a bit and did spin to win for it. I also would only attack when he put the gun away, but then that got tricky when he gets down low on hp and can't heal anymore. I didn't learn to parry until Lady Maria. That fight forced me to learn to parry, because before then I went through the game barely parrying a thing without any trouble. The well sharks weren't actually that bad for me. I think it took me maybe 4 attempts total to get it. I was riding high off beating Lady Maria, so I managed to parry the first shark a couple of times and then I shanked him with a Shaman Bone Blade as he made his way back to the 2nd shark. 2nd shark killed the first shark for me and then came at me with very little hp thanks to the fight (helps that he has less hp than the first one anyway). I had more trouble with the shark dudes outside of the well. The one on the way to the Lighthouse Hut sucks so much. I was certain he'd killed Simon before I could light the lamp and get back to the Dream to reset everything. Thankfully when I returned Simon hadn't gotten killed. I loved using the Rakuyo what little I did and I did also already max it to +10. I'd switched to the threaded cane for some reason to try something out and I was confused as to why it was dealing more damage than the Rakuyo. It was only when I was looking at the stats of both that I realized that the Rakuyo was scaling only with my skill, whereas the threaded cane scales with both. I'm going into NG+ with a maxed out saw cleaver and Rakuyo, and I have the threaded cane and tonitrus both at +9. I love the tonitrus and it's my go-to for Amygdala and enemies I know are weak to bolt. In NG+ I'm going to try to start dumping levels into arcane as well. That said, I need to finish DS3 first, and I also want to get into Sekiro and also Demon's Souls, so I won't return to Bloodborne for a bit.

Hardest area of Bloodborne for me was the Upper Cathedral Ward. I didn't realize the brainsuckers were so weak to bolt, so I had a very bad time of it and lost all my insight and ran around with 0 until the Celestial Emissary fight. I know it's a very small area, but I hate it. Doesn't help that the music coupled with the offscreen noises from the brainsuckers actually made me nope out of there after I killed all those werewolves. I finally had to make myself just bulldoze through the area. I had similar difficulties in the Forest with all the massive balls of snakes. I like snakes just fine, but not those. I ended up running around grabbing items and doing very little fighting. The Hypogean Gaol after getting kidnapped also majorly sucks. The boss run to Darkbeast Paarl was one of the hardest in the game for me; most annoying, pain in the ass boss run goes to the run to Laurence though. I actually didn't find the Fishing Hamlet all that difficult. The well sharks took me just 3 or 4 attempts, I think, thanks to getting a parry in on the 1st one and then using a shaman boneblade to make them fight each other. I had a worse time with the 2 Winter Lanterns in the tunnels before the Orphan. I've barely played Sekiro (need to finish DS3 now that I've finished Bloodborne before I get to it), but those palace nobles you said freak you out remind me immensely of the slime scholars in the Lecture Hall of Bloodborne.
