ghostflame dragon gotta be the most unfun experience I've ever had in a fromsoft game

[Zanaki]

love the dlc, but this 'boss' is just a literal 1v100 with a dragon on top, they barely hurt each other but everything 1 taps you zzz

the soldiers attacking you over the massive dragon in their ass is wild

For some reason that encounter feels like they didn't have fun in mind, yeah.

Tried it, suddenly everyone aggroed me and I never looked back. I could wait, let the dragon kill the soldiers but for what?! I don't even use dragon magic on any of my char..

Take your time and slowly grind it down on Torrent your horse. Use a tank summon spirit.

I don't think OP thinks the fight is hard (and neither do I). The strategy is rather obvious ... it's just tedious, boring, chaotic and takes forever

A lot of their fights are just not fun or rewarding. I really liked the base game, but after the DLC, this will be my final Fromsoftware game. Their bosses aren’t intelligent fights. The only time the game is fun is when you find a good build, but that’s soon nerfed:.. why nerf things in a single player game is beyond me, but their style of gaming doesn’t leave much room for real experimentation.

It's not chaotic and its an introduction to more ghostflame dragons with mobs.

I get the frustration but you're blowing this out of proportion. ER is a very long game and towards the end they needed to constantly top the difficulty somehow so they just came up with the most non-artificial ways to do so (many delayed attacks/larger health pools a.s.o.). I'd argue that - not in base game but in later DLC areas - they somehow didn't follow their own base philosophy anymore.
The main From division is already working on 2 unanncounced titles - for a game as successful as this the DLC was inevitable (because if you create an expansive and expensive game like this, you want to re-use your engine some more). So even if you didn't like the DLC (and no one should fault you for it/ I also think it was mid and I think ER base game might be the best game of all time) you might like their next game when the balance curve starts on 1 again.

I seriously waited until the soldiers were cleared out, they actually take out quite a bit of that thing's lifebar... plus Sacred/Holy Damage, I know the fight still is kind of boring if you approach it from the level of technical finesse, but Sacred Blade for me did like 4000-5000 damage lmfao.
