Is Yhorm the shittiest souls fight of all time?

Is Yhorm the shittiest souls fight of all time?

He's stupidly easy but he has the stupidest health pool of all time. I just beat him on my first try after 45 fucking minutes of poking his ankles. I was using a STR build with the biggest weapon I had, and I still did NO damage. The fight was so boring that I honestly hoped he would kill me before it ended, but the fight was so easy that he didn't.

Then I looked it up online and apparently you're supposed to use a meme sword that kills him in two hits with a gigantic laser beam. This is just as retarded if not more retarded than fighting him legit.

What the FUCK were they thinking??

It's a gimmick fight to breakup the standard formula. Demons Souls had a ton of them. Not really a big deal. Not a great gimmick fight, but it was something different, at least.

I liked Yhorm's meme fight.

Much better than those meme bosses in DeS.

>Hit the meme crow
>Hit the meme ankles
>Kill the meme man before killing the meme illusion
>Kill the meme NPC before killing the meme lady

Having an item located in the same room as the boss as happened only once previously in the Souls series. You didn't think it was odd that there was item directly on the throne?

Hes the Bed of Chaos of this game

His lore is the coolest though.

>pretending like you're so retarded that you actually fought yhorm without knowing to use stormbringer
Yeah sure, nice meme. Nice thread.

Had to summon Siegwald just to avoid the slog. Would help if the head attack scenario would happen more frequently.

Not at all. It's a functional fight that's maybe guilty of being a little boring. Bed of Chaos was broken and by their own admission half finished.

>better than those meme bosses in DeS

The Storm Ruler is FAR better than Yhorm

>Memememememe
Fuck, dude.

Ceaseless Discharge exists. Everything else is invalid.

how the fuck was I supposed to know that some random sword has a magic wind laser beam attack?

The Black knight glaive is in Gundyr 2.0's boss room so that's wrong.

>meme sword
explain how calling it a "meme" makes any sense before I report your thread

You're supposed to go "shit, I'm not doing any damage to this guy, would be stupid to continue this way" and look around the room. The sword should have auto equipped fully charged or something when you picked it up, but an item in a boss room is a pretty significant clue when you can't damage said boss.

That or do the side quest that makes it supper apparent.

>but it was something different,

It was LITERALLY the Storm King boss fight.
That's not different but as to be expected of Rehash Souls 3

you literally just described why the fight is terrible

I just meant in the sense that their both lords and they have a shit gimmick that makes them push overs
Yeah I know theres no other way to beat the BoC but still a fight thsts easily cheesed unlike the other fights with the lords

I'm sorry but i'm tired of 'One hit eat shit' boss fights

How am I supposed to know to use some heavy as fuck sword that over-encumbers me to win this boss fight?

Is this fucking Inuyasha?

There was nothing I could do.

>Yhorm the Giant
>In a long corridor styled throne room
>You each start at far ends to emphasize his size as he slowly walks towards you
>Natural instinct is to fight him in the middle of the room

>HA WHY DIDNT YOU JUST GRAB THE SWORD NEXT TO HIS THRONE
>THATS THE TRICK TO BEATING HIM WITHOUT WASTING A FUCKING HOUR

I liked Yhorm, but his fight mechanics were completely fucking retarded.

Nah, it could be better for sure but it's a fun break in the action as it is provided you aren't dumb enough to try to peck at his health bar coventionally.

Well if you save siegward then he joins you in the fight and uses the sword himself so you can see, but even if you missed or skipped him the stormruler is in yhorm's room. I think most people when they see a glowing item in a boss room they sprint around and pick them up during the fight becuase of this very reason. Either it could be an item that helps you, or at the very least if it's not related to the boss it's probably still a decent item since it's in this boss' room. To just completely ignore the items in his room and trying to fight the boss barehanded even though you can clearly see you barely do any damage to him just makes you an idiot. Seeing how little damage you do didn't tip you off at all? Not even a little bit?

>messages all over boss room and on the floor outside to the point the ground is just glowing
>try item
>try item
>try item
>try weapon
>try item

>got siegward in my first run
>boss is piss easy because siegward fucking overpower him

kinda felt like tarkus vs iron golem.
i got hype as shit when he appeared after saving his ass so many time even thought the boss himself wasn't that hard

>reading messages during boss fights

>He cheesed Yhorm on his first go
>He didn't take his time to learn the moveset and defeat him with patience and timely attacks on his hands

Must suck to have lost the experience of Yhorm never to be able to get it back.

The biggest problem with Yhorm is that it's pretty obvious how hard the Profaned Capital was rushed out.
It should have been a bigger area where you find the Stormruler somewhere in it and get a place to test it out before the fight, and then you get to Yhorm already with the sword and know how to fight him with it.

I still like Yhorm, but it's just a worse version of Storm King.

>Is this fucking Inuyasha?
Holy shit. How did i miss that? Stormcaller is literally Getsuga Tensho.

Yeah the profaned capital was way too small and forgettable

man I'm glad I wasn't born as an autistic frogposter

You forgot the third option user.

I did Siegwards storyline and without you summoning him he shows up to the boss and just solo's him for you.


what the fuck was From thinking?

That's the Wyvern

>messages OUTSIDE the boss room

you do realize that if you strike his right hand, he ends up going into riposte animation really fast
right?
this is especially easy with greataxes or overhead ugs

>use the storm ruler on another giant
>it does nothing
Fuck that shit

self identifying as a giant isn't the same as actually being a giant

Wyvern fight.

At least you're not fighting yhorm in his prime.

wyvern doesn't even fucking hit you, it's just a mob gauntlet with flames in the background

You've never fought the Wyvern? It's probably the hardest enemy in Dark Souls to fight legit

that's like saying the asylum demon is the hardest DS boss because you can fight it with a broken sword

Nice bait

What? He's right. It's hard to fight "legit" because the encounter is entirely designed around you using the plunging attack/

no seriously, you can't complain about a boss' design when you go out of your way to not do it the way it's supposed to be done

unless you're not talking about the peak wyvern then I have no idea what you're talking about

The bridge wyvern in DaS? Then what IS the correct method of fighting it peabrain?

You never noticed the glowing item in the back of the room and decided to just pick it up?
Besides, I'm pretty sure you can repose Yhorm without the Stormruler.
