F**K Bell Bearing Hunter

[Ice_Tea_Zero]

I played every FG game so far and enjoyed most bossfights, but this enemy is just the biggest BS I ever expirenced in any Soulslike game. This guy is legit cheating with his 100 meter sword hitbox! Who tested this ♥♥♥♥ and though he is a good and balanced enemy? Seriously, Bell Bearing Hunter need a HUGE nerf or at least his ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ attack where he throw his sword need to be removed. It feels like I fighting against a hacker, there is no fun at all in his fights. Who ever designed this guy need to be fired ASAP!

Honestly, I would rather change how he spawns.
It's a pain to go through four loading screens just to fight him again.

This. It's not too hard to learn his patterns, but getting back for a new attempt is just tedious.

You can come back for him later. He just lets you buy bones at the merchant, but they're so expensive there's no point.

Please, stop asking for ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nerfs every time something stomps you. FS gave you a thousand ways to fight bosses/enemies, try something other than what you've been doing.

You are invaded by Elemer, he is From Softwares easter egg reference to Kirk, Knight of Thorns that invaded you in DS1 and DS3.

Here is some info on him that is relevant, but there are spoilers.

His sword throw is a unique ashes of war that is using jedi powers to throw your sword out that only 2 weapons have. He is an actual boss in the game and his lore is that he is an invader. You can end his invasions by killing him for good challenging him in shaded castle where he hides as a real boss and not a red phantom invader.

The only reason why I died to him was because I was under-levelled. Once you have the damage and some spells its easy to win against him.

Melee in this game is harder than previous Souls games. Way, way harder.

Assume that every enemy has infinite reach. Play with that in mind and the game becomes easier.

[I-Chi]

It feels like some enemies are easier on horseback, while others are easier on foot. To me, the hunter was easier on foot.

Just going ham with faster weapons was how I eventually got the first two down.

Buying into things like "Bleed is OP! Stagger is !OP Wild strikes is OP you can just poise while you spam hits!" is how you get let down by using a boat anchor covered in bleed grease where he just calmly lets you hit him a buch first, like a joke, before bending you in half because input queue also apparently counts for "swing 2-3 more times with wild strikes before you can stop" (also colossal weapon jump attack tracking seems trash on average a lot. I Can do a literal 180 spin in tracking with most regular greatsword jump attacks. A mace or a boat anchor if an enemy is slowly walking sidways the jumps wing misses)

Also, ignore anyone telling you to fight him "Inside the hut". They just want you to get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ by the fact enemies can no-clip through walls and objects and you can't. And if you realize that midway in he can shoot his flying sword through the wall with no line of sight on you with no way for you to see it coming vs fighting him in the open.

I mean, I've killed a few but at least I am not so desperate for fake hardcore gamer cred I am unwilling to admit "So the guy who unlocks sheep bones and meat lumps for sale... hits harder and faster than Godrick? Huh, that seems odd"

What next. Are you going to start a thread complaining the game doesn't treadmill scale like world of warcraft, then give "So regular rats have more HP than a knight just for being in a later area. video games!" a pass?

The sword throw is really his only gimmick. But it's a gimmick that's hard to get used to because there's nothing like it before in the game.

Keep close to him to prevent it.

This is wrong because

you can still be invaded after you beat the boss

[Warnstaff]

You mean, there's an actual person playing this game that I, a terrible player who has to overlevel everything, everywhere in order to win, am better than? COOL!

I played enough FS games to tell you that this guy need a nerf ASAP! His fight is just HUGE BS!

This is, technically, a good thing because beating him unlocks various things for sale in the main hub.

I forget which one I have not gotten around to unlocks selling poison cures in the main hub so you don't need to remember "Wait, which random merchant sold those unlimited again?" or whatever.

Even if the first brawls are very unimpressive effort vs result of "You have defeated the random guy more powerful than main story bosses for... thin bones and thick bones you mostly only use if you have a habit of crafting arrows."

Yes.

My first encounter with the Bell Bearing Hunter was not until after I killed the boss. They are not related beyond their appearance and moveset but it does prove that they aren't linked in that way.
