Figuratively impossible

Best coop I ever had.

Why are DS3 bosses either too easy or pure horseshit?

From still hasn't recaptured that perfect boss balance of DS1. I never had to summon for any boss in DS, but I felt like it was an outright obligation for a few bosses in DS3.

...

How are you trying to fight him

what is this meme?

I haven't played this game, is he the easiest boss or something?

I beat him solo on my Guts character with just the UGS.

It was a the mix of also adding in Bloodborne like bosses to a system that you weren't as quick and nimble.

Nameless King from Dark Souls 3 and probably Gwyn's missing son from Dark Souls 1. Has the current reputation of being the hardest in the game. Depending on who you ask anyway, the other half of the fanbase say that Champion Gundyr is the hardest in the game.

summon 2 people and let them tank everything for you.
this guy is literally easier than powered up ornstein from DS1.
trust me i would know, beat him just a few hours ago. Shit was way harder than dishonored dragonfag over here.

So why did he turn his back on his own kind to be with a dead race?

The strategy is actually really simple:

git gud git gud git gud git gud git gud git gud git gud git gud git gud git gud git gud git gud git gud git gud git gud git gud git gud git gud git gud git gud git gud git gud git gud git gud

>Fight him
>get my shit kicked in
>progressively get better
>after hundreds of tries I can only get him to 1/5th his health
>fuck it
>One hit kill his dragon
> turn off cheats and fight him

It should be two separate fights. I tried this for the first time on NG+5 and I got to say it's the hardest thing I've ever done.

cuz furriefags, user.

>Champion Gundyr
>Hardest

Bitch, I beat that guy on my own after like 3-4 tries. He isn't that hard. Nameless King, however, is a cunt once he's off of that dragon. I've tried many times, with summons, and still lost.

>Stuck his dick in a dragon
>Created Priscilla
>Gwyn kicked him out
>Kept Priscilla

Vaati will have a video out next week. Screencap this

killed him on my 3rd try, all you have to do is R1 spam and only dodge like 3 sequences of his attack during phase 2.

>Having any trouble with the dragon part

That's the easy part of the fight. Git gud.

this is literally
git gud at rolling: the boss

attempting to block even with the dragonslayer shield is asking to get killed

Id say the one who gave me the most shit was dat ass of boreal valley. I got fed up and dropped the game for about a week befire going back.

Just imagine how tough the DLC bosses will be.

I'm 99% sure Seath is Priscilla's ''father''.

Plausible, but unconfirmed.

idk people said sully was hard but I just slapped his butt with a great axe

We don't know. And we'll never know. Because we have fuck all information about her other than the gods threw her in the painting because they were afraid of her. The closest thing we have to anything regarding her origins is that Yorshka seems to be the same species as her and calls Gwyndolin "brother." Now does this mean that Gwyn's wife fucked Seathe? Did she mean it as a term of "brothers in arms" or a brother of Anor Londo? We don't know and we'll never know because Miyazaki gets off on us arguing about such things.

Try beating Dancer at the very beginning of the game with base stats and a +3 weapon. At the very least NK can't one shot you.

From decided it was a good idea to have bosses that attack with less telegraph than 95% of player's weapons.

Killed Sully first try with a greatsword and no shield. I've never really had trouble with him

3rd attempt.

Soul of Cinder boss was Infinitely more difficult.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the DLC cleared this up?

>people actually died on SoC

how

They put too much Bloodborne into Dark Souls. Hyper aggressive bosses make sense in Bloodborne because your character is a bullet in that game. You move like lightning and so as long as you have the reaction time to interpret the move you can get out of the way. In Dark Souls you move much slower and weight is a thing in this game and yet the bosses move as if you're still playing Bloodborne. So while you're moving only slightly faster than you did in DaS1, the enemies are moving as though they're fighting a damned Hunter.

Well people have beaten him so it must be literally possible.

Literally could not kill him before

Then someone told me to stop hugging the bird's legs because that's what triggers the instant flight+fire combo

Killed him pretty soon after that and these days I often help Hosts kill him pretty smoothly barring some bullshit camera lock fuckery

10 bucks the DLC won't answer any question we still have about the series.

Are ya'll braindead? He's an endurance fight and nothing more.
The timings on his charged attacks need to be memorized and he can punish healing hard but his combos are easy to learn and he leaves a wide opening after each one. Compared to Gundyr who can chain instant attacks and mix up his combos he's a pissant.

I think the only things we'll see in the DLC is more info regarding the Sable Church of Londo and what Kaathe has been doing for the past 5 or something millenia

Nameless King is much harder than the Champ

>This will be the last chance we have to learn anything concrete about the tastier lore stuff like Frampt and Kaathe
>They want to make a new franchise or at least move on from Souls so this is their chance to go wild
>the DLC bosses will be in order: A Big Knight, Another Big Knight, Maybe A Dragon.

being a souls fan is suffering

Probably the only boss designed for Dark Souls 2 players since that game trains you to dodge before an attack hits you rather than dodging when an enemy lifts their weapon like you could in des/das and most of the other bosses on das3.

Really glad they designed a boss similar to das2 bosses

Don't give a fuck what type of bosses we get

I just want more cool areas to explore

in what way?

Who knows?
We might see the real Gwynevere return.

Incorrect. My 12 year old brother solo'd him

And for the record, yes, I'm pretty mad about it

>She'll go by the name Juniper

beat the game without finishing this one

when i start a new playtrough when the dlc hits, im going to overpower my character as hell and beat it

Well duh it'll probably be worth playing but it'd be pretty god damn cool if the last hurrah from the series was some fan fellatio I cared about.

Kaathe and/or Frampt reveal their bodies because they're tired of our shit threatening the cycle.

We go into the future Age of Dark and Nito shows up super charged because boy is he totally OK with the fire going out

Just gimme something wicked! Even Aldrich's Gwyndolin reveal is muted since From will have to commit ritual seppuku if they ever have to take a firm stance on a bit of lore.

>Blocking during any boss
>Blocking any enemy period

Do people actually do this? What the fuck are shields even good for? Maybe I've just been using the Greatsword for too long..

>Nito still around because what is dead may never die
>Now comprised of skeletons of all the old rulers of this world including dragons and gods

She's Rosaria. Practically confirmed since she drops a sun miracle upon being killed and their physiques are quite similar

>the other half of the fanbase say that Champion Gundyr is the hardest in the game.

dafuk

im terrible at souls and i beat that guy on my second try

Literally the dragon is harder because he doesn't fuck your camera or stagger lock you into a 2 hit fire blast.

Learn how to roll dodge, he's a spear user.

Please stop user I can only get so erect.

>Unlock camera
>Suddenly every boss is now a joke and easy to kill
Thanks souls games

I dont have an answer for you but I agree with it

Dark souls 3 is such a mixed bag for me, they ran out of honest difficulty and were like "Alright, make everything attack nonstop and every hit staggers, its the only way"

Boss attacks got a lot faster and a bit bigger thanks to what can only be the influence of Bloodborne, while player's lost poise and take fucktonnes of damage now that armour is just there for decoration. So enjoy using hyperwarmour and dying before your swing finishes.
He's doable but made a lot harder than he has to be thanks to dark souls 3 being the retarded stepson of the souls series

Wait, people had trouble with Champion Gundyr? I must have lucked out on that fight then, I solo'd it in one shot

>Mfw when I beated it on my first try solo, at level 75 quality build, with undead legion armor and a lothric shortsword and people cant even beat him with the best metas

I also started the game with the Deprived

Man I miss this.

Back on topic though I guess the only other lore wriggle left besides the serpents is showing us what the Age of Dark actually looks like and telling us where the fuck all the gods went.

is this host you

youtube.com/watch?v=Q6qmRc5Z44o

I gave up trying to help him

>champ gundyr hardest

nigga it's the exact same fucking fight as the tutorial. if you struggled with that then how the fuck did you even make it to Champ?

>I beated it

I'm of the opinion that the New Londo Ruins, the Chasm of the Abyss and the Untended Graves give us a good example of what the Age of Dark is like.
No bullshit. Just plain old eternal darkness with swarms of humanity phantoms and monsters festering around until a new flame pops up and the cycle resets.

>literally no damage with the Fume sword
what the fuck

he summoned 3 phantoms, including me, the other 2 died within 2 minutes of fighting the drake. I don't think his weapon is even fully upgraded

...

I... Defeated him?

Sully was the only boss I actually had to summon (Anri) on my first playthrough. Funny that I ended up dying a lot more to The Champ and NK yet still didn't summon at all for their fights.

much better

oh, well in that case he is a certified ultrashitter

...

If it's "literally" impossible, why do people manage to beat him?

I literally cant even

noob, i killed him on my second try, all bosses in this game are easy

youtube.com/watch?v=0Jk8bq0jkBs

user, like any Souls boss, if you take the time to play carefully enough to learn his patterns he becomes a cake walk. Put in the hour or so and beat him. It feels good to see results from exerted effort, even if that effort was just put into a video game.

>gets hit by the first lunge
>gets hit by the flying bolt

Does anyone else here intentionally limit their estus?
I reduced my count to 5 for my NG+2 run and it really let a lot of the bosses I 1 shot before shine, in particular the Twin Princes. I nearly I would have 1 shot them on my NG run if it wasn't for that WOTG but the most recent time it took an hour and a half and near perfect performance to down. The original game and 3 were always most tense and interesting when you couldn't chug at any moment and it's refreshing to get that feeling back. Hell, it's probably how I'm going to go through the DLC.

why not just do a sl1 build or something

The thing that gets me is that the Age of Fire is allegedly so diminished that it's causing everything to fall apart, including time and space. Like they wasn't being flowery when they said "transient lands" in the intro, the lands are actually moving. You have bridges that lead to nowhere and geography that makes no sense. And in the Kiln you have all the lands all mashed into one place. So what happens when the Flame goes out entirely?

I know there's no answer to this. It's just my autism making me look too deep into things

git gud

Because he is a faggot

because from put in weapons and armor for a reason

Manus sl1 took me 4 tries.
Lud and Zallen sl1 took me 47 tries.
Nameless King sl1 took me 3 tries
Orphan of Kos sl4 took me 7 tries.

Das3 shouldn't be as easy as it was, I'm hoping dlc will give us something good.

DLC bosses are always harder. Remember the first 2 months after Old Hunters released and there were a million news articles of people complaining that Ludwig was impossible?

Step 1: Equip Pyromancy Flame
Step 2: Attune Great Chaos Fire Orb
Step 3: Equip at least 2 Ashen Estus Flasks
Step 4: Get past Big Bird*
Step 5: [THIS IS CRUCIAL] Circle left while flinging Fire Orbs and occasionally taking a blue sippy

There you go. You did it champ. You beat the big guy. If you have a gud bone in your body, you will even do it on the first try using this simple guide.

*If you can't get past Big Bird, you are way beyond any help. Consider another hobby.

bosses with multiple enemies will always be harder than solo encounters simply because you need to manage and memorize 2 patterns at once.

his attacks are telegraphed to fuck and fairly easy to dodge, the only difficulty present is his high HP and damage

unfortunately the game was so easy that I can only say pontiff and champion were harder, hopefully the DLC adds some balls to the walls fights that take more than 10 attempts to beat

I'm assuming most people thought he was hard because of ng+ damage, most of his attacks had painfully obvious tells.

Did he get nerfed? I didn't play on release, so that be a bit disheartening to hear I missed out on some fun

youtube.com/watch?v=J8Rdp2--SjQ
Do you remember?

As long as we don't get another fucking Lud + Zallen I'll be happy with a boss being borderline impossible.

He has not been nerfed but you're probably right about most people experiencing him via ng+ and exaggerating the difficulty

Not a single boss in DaS3 is hard.

100% easy method:

Trade in your boss soul for the shield with max lightening resistance. He will do no damage to you and extremely easy and cheesed.

>Not a single boss in DaS3 is hard

Doing dancer with a +2 weapon for a sequence break is fucking painful

This. Nameless King is as close as it comes but putting in even a little effort with make his tells really obvious and you can easily beat him without taking more than a couple of hits.

That being said, I think DS3 had some of the coolest ideas for bosses in the series. Abyss Walkers was great, Twin Princes too. Just unnecessarily easy. A 35% boost in boss hp would've made it better.

Call me boss and I'll get hard for you ;)

I think most of his attacks are telegraphed pretty obviously, save for maybe one or two on the dragon when he swipes with his sword. I just hate that fucking lightning stab from the first stage where he comes in and does a small AoE into the ground, but it's super powerful and thanks to his flying pet dog he always will land on top of you.

Eh? Just hug her right leg. While a lot of people where swordmaster cheesing I figured it be best to learn the fight so i can keep making fun builds and get a +10 before vordt

>Nameless King
>Hard

I don't understand why any Dark Souls veterans are having issues with him. He's way easier than the Fume Knight.

You don't even have to roll to dodge some of his attacks. You can just lock on + sidestep, then you can punish the shit out of him with the right weapon.
