Rennala, really?....

[Alphard]

Oneshot from every attack. No clear dodge pattern, since a lot of times i do the exact same dodge and for some reason it only works 50% of times. First phase that makes you waste 10 minutes and on top on that a long trip to her every time. Is this good boss design?

edit: i did it by summoning a player. Apparently 22 vigor is too low and i was getting 1shot. The problem is i cant wield any str-fai weapon yet and all my offensive attributes are wasted (fai ashes is trash for hybrid build)

lol.

I think you need more vigor. :)

[Krazy Wallet]

What's your vigor? Most things (if any) should be one-shotting you at Rennala as she's fairly early on in the game. She can be more difficult if you are a mage. But if you're melee, just pressure her. She goes down pretty quickly

Literally completely trivial unless you are a magic user. If the first phase takes you 10 min you are definitely doing something wrong.

Sorry but this game is unbalanced af. I pumped all stats in str and fai to wield the golden axe (cant wield it yet) so i neglected vigor wich is only 22. How i'm supposed to beat the boss if i explored the whole limgrave and a lot of Liurnia and didnt drop a single fai scaling weapon?

another one of these, do people not understand the term git gud?

Literally the easiest boss in the game, just run at her and press buttons and she falls over.

[King of Games]

the first phase take you 10 minutes?
lol

[Krazy Wallet]

If memory serves, she is also quite weak to bleed. At that level, you don't need a dedicated bleed build to make it proc. If you have claws or something, you may want to try that.

[Dropkick]

its not even a vigor issue at this point

I didn't expect renalla to be a boss that has people so split on being insanely easy or impossible.

The first phase is obviously easy, but it's a gimmick I'm okay with considering how boring the other boss formula is. Just get a weapon that can kill her in the first drop, not really a big deal.

The dodge pattern is actually the most consistent out of all the bosses ive fought to be honest. All the spells can be dodged very easily. I'm not just saying that, if you get the timing right you'll always dodge them, even the ice that's staggered.

I know it's tired advice, but if you're getting one shot by even the weak attacks then you need to reevaluate your stats/level/gear. It's okay to leave and explore and level up a bit if you're having difficulty with an enemy.

I beat all souls game and Sekiro, Kuroless as well. Sword saint was much harder than anything in this game, but here bosses are just poorly balanced

You can make one, there are several holy ashes available in Limgrave/Weeping peninsula.
