Multi-Bosses suck in ER.

So i watched this video:

I actually made a Discussion some days ago talking about the design of Godskin Duo and how bad it was, and... i agree with just about everything in the video, he brough up points i made and even more, with better detail.

The main point is that the Multi-Bosses in ER werent designed as such, they were designed as individual bosses put together, rather than a single boss spread around multiple enemies.

A good multi-boss is one where the bosses compliment each other, not one were both were designed as a single boss and slapped together, the problem with the latter is that their AI and Attack pattern dont consider the ones from the other, which causes them to overlap constantly, which causes a really frustrating experience as a result, due being hit by one when trying to dodge the other.

Anyway, just wanted to share the vid, its good, and it reminded of the post i made before.

Sekiro's Ape Fight 2 is a great example of a single boss involving multiple bodies. One from From Soft. Not a single boss involving multiple bodies in this game isn't just "here's boss x and boss y but now they're in a room together doing whatever the ♥♥♥♥ they feel like."

It's extremely disappointing having seen what From Soft can do.

Currently on Leonine and Crucible Knight duo. Their attacks don't complement each other at all. I don't know what Leonine wants to do, maybe claw me to death but he guard breaks easily. CK just wants to fling me up in the air.

I aven't actually enjoyed dual bosses since O&S and Friede's 2nd phase (though the health bar is shared making it really just 1 boss.)

They stealth patched some boss behaviors to address this, though Godskins were not among them.

I imagine this is in part due to the new spirit summon mechanic.

Demon Prince is among my favorite bosses across the series, and this fight only starts off as a duo boss. Meanwhile, Valiant Gargoyles sullying its good name...

Bosses in general suck in ER.

the lame game design have a name, and is elden ring. But, at least we have some "content", right? or not?

Yeah Crystallians was among them i believe, which actually made them a decent boss, their designs did actually compliment each other decently, but their aggressiveness threw it out of the window, but the patch toned that down and its good now.

thats because elden ring overall is a worse designed game.
