Dancing lion easy until camera stuck under him

[ScypeR]

Anyone else having an easy time with this boss, until it decides to jump on top of you, take control over your camera, and keep u stuck til dead?
All of u sudden after I dodge (take 0 dmg) my camera angel gets stuck under his body, i only see through his body from the ground towards the sky.

If DS2 taught me anything, it was that camera lock-on is just another tool. Don't use it in crowds or to lock on to giant enemies.

That boss reminds me of the nameless king and most "big bosses" theyve ever made. Playtest your games fromsoft

I died over and over again to the lightning bs because my camera was stuck looking up at a coiling mass that never stops knocking you in a corner

yes, unlocking it while under doesnt unlock it, it stays faced to the sky.

Skill issue. Just unlock your camera. Unlocking does unlock, it always has and always will. There is no mechanic or boss that makes your lock stick. If your camera is facing the sky after unlock, use your analog stick to move your camera as usual. This is basics.

Try to keep a certain distance, and whenever he moves his body upwards, you have enough time to reposition yourself towards the middle of the arena. But yeah the camera is atrocious as is common with From Software titles.

Every other Developer within the Action RPG Genre has learned by now that the camera should zoom out when fighting big bosses. Every Dev except From Software. Considering that From outsells most of these devs, i think they should be held towards the standard of having a working camera. I want to fight the boss, not the controls.

Other than that its still a pretty solid boss, definitly better designed than most bosses from the main game.

I've killed him ages ago, as I said he is easy as soon as you have the camera work, but dont tell someone that has beaten elden ring, and every other from software games multiple times its a skill issue. The camera against that boss is hands down far worse than any other boss in elden ring.

yes I agree, the boss is hella cool, absolutely loved the boss hence zero complaints about the BOSS, just the CAMERA.

I find it weird elden ring has invisible walls some places where your character is forced close to the wall, example the tents before u go to the castle, you get close to them you see through them, why cant boss arenas be the same? isntead of my cam being 1cm from the boss and my character, let it go through the wall and give me decent distance

I'll tell you what is fact. You have a skill issue. Camera unlocks when you unlock it, if you are looking to the sky, use the analog stick to not look at the sky. Get good.

players are the ones controlling the camera angles, lmao

This only happens hen he jumps on you or hen it happens it stays like that even after he finishes his move? If its just during that move dont use lock on when hes about to do it. If its the ladder then unlucky bug man. Didnt encounter that one myself. Hopefully they will fix it in the next couple of days.

you are being purposefully ignorant. Lock on is used by most people in 99% of all fights.

When that same camera is locked it follows the enemy character model. When that character model is large and above you or flying and above you, especially in a corner of the arena it doesnt function as intended.

This problem has been a thing in all of their games...why they dont just pull the camera back against bigger mobs is a serious critic of their game design

More examples: Fire giant, and the new flaming giants. Would be alot cooler if i could see more than just the bosses feet...but who knows, maybe thats just your thing

so most people refuse to learn the controls, but I'm the ignorant one, SURE

I think we can stop at "Dancing Lion is Easy".

Honestly have no clue how people are struggling... provided they have some blessings. I went in solo at level 6 or 7 and beat him second try. He is just a more elemental ulcerated tree spirit really.
