Commander Niall did not have to be like this

[Dregora]

A gank fight with two common adds you fight in that entire castle. His entire moveset and design was unique and cool enough for it to not have been needed.

I understand the commander part, but they just as easily could've made him summon a row of archers that shoot three times in a row that you have to dodge or something like that. Not put two adds with him.

This is a case of adding for the sake of adding. Wasn't needed at all.

agreed, just lazy design that was phoned in and labelled "hard" by adding two OP adds that zero you instantly.

[3borg]

you wait until you meet the duos. that's laziness

Scarlet rot bleed then roll around and laugh

agreed, garbage boss fight design. niall alone was annoying enough w/ his six trillion AOE moves, adding on two tanky ♥♥♥♥♥, one of which has a dash that does 90% of your HP is downright lazy writing and just not fun.

i had to get help from a mage who like one shot him, other than that, impossible

This game has harder ganks than Dark Souls 2, and they are twice as frequent

Interesting I fought him for the first time last night and one shot him..

At SL1 with +0 weapons this was by far the worst fight in the game so far. Just his adds, alone, are so tanky and immune to bleed and other status effects on top of the commander and his rot or whatever effect. Then he summons another wave. Fail it and gotta rekill those adds and fight him all over again. Idk if I will find a less pleasant fight but this will definitely be up there.

I personally find the Draconic Tree Sentinel to be a bigger bastard

Isn't about his difficulty, just design. I think his personal moveset are incredibly unique and he works well on his own. Those adds are unneeded and served pretty much no purpose. If it was a reskin mini boss or a boss that isn't unique, i'd be more okay with it, but he 100% has his own unique moveset.

Just talking about his design, not difficulty. I one shot him too.
