Soulsborne boss battles peaked with Bloodborne

[Juub]

I don't count Sekiro. Elden Ring (mainly this DLC) takes everything bad and annoying and dials it up to 11. You spend 80% of the fight dodging, which is what makes this DLC so challenging. It's challenging because most of the time, you aren't doing any damage.

Bloodborne rewards you for fast and aggressive play. The bosses in Elden Ring are now faster than in Bloodborne, but the player is just as slow as in Dark Souls III. That flask drinking animation is so painfully slow that the boss has the time to get up and finish a combo before the healing even starts.

I just beat this DLC 100% solo. Never again. One of the most frustrating gaming experiences I've ever had. My advice: Use the Spirit Ashes or whatever else to give you an edge. Don't bother respecting the boss fights, they don't respect you.

bloodborne has some of the lamest boss fights fromsoft ever made outside of it's dlc lmao

It was big ass monsters that kicked ass to fight, blood starved beast, cleric beast, darkbeast paarl, abhorrent beast(lots of beasts) Martyr logarius, Gehrman, ebrietas(minus her charge) and more. they were all ♥♥♥♥♥♥ cool as hell to fight and their reactions to damage, ie partbreaks were ♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing.

I like how some people act like BB has no garbage bosses. Rom the useless spider, celestial emissary, wet nurse, micolash, one reborn, shadows, witch of hemwick, living failures, laurance and ofc the fkin watchdog. (not all because of the difficulty.. some of them also are just far to passive and easy)

Sure it has, ludwig, maria, ebrietas, gascoigne, gehrman, logarius and amelia.

The fact remains that all of these games have good and bad bosses. Ds 3 however mostly has awesome bosses tho.

LOL, no. If you like fighting gimmick bosses then sure. But you are wrong

Did you even play BB? Most of the garbage bosses I named are gimmick fights rofl.

That guy is on some next level cope. Either that or he's never actually played Bloodborne.

You falsely equated half of those as gimmick bosses, they are not.

[Goodman]

Rotted greatwood, DotD, Yhorm, Crystal sage, ancient wyvern, wolnir, those are true gimmick bosses.

I wish I could get more into bloodborne. It is too linear and hasn’t aged well graphically unfortunately

Gael>genichiro>isshin>midir>Malenia

Gael fight was truly something else though. The dlc at full price would still be worth it if he was the only fight. Peak both lore and game play, pretty much impossible to beat.

While you did the same with ds 3 which only has 2. Mico, one reborn, rom, witch, living failures and even blood starved beast all are gimmick bosses.

Except we dont agree on the definition what gimmick bosses actually are.

But anyway. I'm not here to argue about such meager things. Just saying that all the games have bad and good bosses which is a known fact.. while in my own opinion ds 3 has less bad.. more good.

The game has designed most bosses to fight against two players, you and your spirit. This means that they have to be super active most of the time. This is the problem that the summons have brought to the game - at least for people who want to fight the bosses alone. Of course, it's still possible to fight alone, but it's not as much fun anymore.

I don't agree. You are playing wrong if you are waiting for the boss to finish in order to do damage. Rolls on a light build will let you play as if it were DS3, roll and r1 until they drop dead. If you dont want to roll then get a strength build and wear heavy armor to trade hits, do guard breaks and break poise. The middle ground is a mix of both but it isnt as effective as it was before. No need to rage-win with ashes.

Trade hits. Sure lol.

Yeah I do it with my strength build. Block most hits with the shield, identify the weakest part of the combo and poise through. You need to commit to the build for it.

Not at all, everything is perfectly 1v1. Every guy I've seen saying this is waiting for an "opening" instead of rolling and attacking mid boss combo or blocking/trading hits. It's not like in other souls games where you wait for the opening and punish you have to be aggressive don't play passively. Learn the pattern and go in.

How can you be aggressive and go in, if you loose 3/4 of your health bar when trading blows? No matter which boss in the DLC, it doesn't work like that, particularly because the boss continues to hit you and you have no time to heal.

If you use light weapons there are brief punish windows but you absolutely cannot be aggressive like the bosses can, trading isn't a thing outside specific tank builds abusing greatshields or golden vow
