Flamelurker is "get gud: the boss"

unless you:
> are playing a magic build
> accidentally get him stuck in one of two places
> happened to bring the Purple Flame Shield with you

Personally I prefer False King, since he has story relevance and isn't just a random demon based on the area he's in, and I like his more varied attack style/not being able to cheese him so easily.

But I do like that Flamelurker guards the ability to make boss-weapons. Makes it more incentive to kill him early so you can get the Meat Cleaver for becoming unstoppable in PvE and the Scaping Spear for PvP Shenanigins and Morion Blade for cheesing shit on any build.

>NG+ Flamelurker gives twice the souls that the NG+ Dragon God does

Even the game designers knew who was the tougher boss.

I could never decipher his face

does anyone else see a pissed off viking skull thing with a manacle and a beard and two skull horns?

He's got a great design. Recognizable enough but unfamiliar, keeping that sort of hostile monster element.

>the game's a breeze so far
>face the Flamelurker, wrecks my shit
>finally beat him after countless attempts

The real Souls started there for me

...

The entirety of Automata. This shit is fun as fuck.

i never had any difficulty with any demons souls boss

not because they were that much, or any easier than other souls bosses but the fact that you could get so many healing items trivialized them all

Manus was my big "fuck you"

Artorias really taught me not to get greedy. You can sometimes get an extra hit in, but it's not telegraphed if you will or not, and you'll often get long periods of no estus opportunities. Also
>those seemingly endless chains of flip jump attacks
Just Fuck my shit up.

>Infinite climax

>That boss that made you pick up the crescent falchion

FTFY

...

(Allegedly. Didn't have much of a problem with him, but later came across mountains of salt online from people who hadn't learned to parry reliably halfway through the game)

>mfw I beat him and Armstrong for my friend despite never playing the game before.

Who's this

cute dark sidekick girl from no more heroes

THESE FUCKERS RIGHT HERE

On hard mode

Absolutely impossible

...

...

...

Literally, unironically impossible.

...

What did he die for?

He died trying to stop you from seeing the horrible ending

Nah, casual filter was Blade Wolf
Shit when the game released Blade Wolf was absolutely synonymous with casual filter for a while

That second to last Regent of the Mask fight in Ninja Gaiden 3. Fuck that terrible ass game. Still gives me PTSD thinking about.

He was annoying, but I didn't have to learn the lesson about parrying until finally fighting Jetstream Sam. He is LITERALLY impossible unless you parry well.

This really but Bladewolf was featured in the demo and remained unchanged as far as I remember so people at least had time to practice on him until the game released
Bladewolf on Jetstream Sam dlc is an entirely different story though

Yeah. It taught me well to cheese it with arrows behind the bones.

>You lived to see a day where the ending wasn't the worst thing to happen to the Mass Effect series

Trying to brute force with weakness hits with your guns is going to accomplish jack-all here.

With how little damage guns do on their own and how utterly lethal the boss is when left unchecked, I feel as if this encounter were actually intentionally designed to force you to learn the combo system if you haven't already.

Up to him you could just walk up and punch stuff without seeing what attacks the enemy are even doing.

WOOGITY WOOGITY

I cheesed it by accidentally getting it stuck and just attacking it infinitely as it was in an infinite loop. Fuck the Flamelurker, holy shit.

Radiant Historia

false king is like the last boss of the game dude he shouldnt count its actually great to have the last boss be also the hardest boss more games should do that

Accurate.
