Making feet not targetable on boss dragons is a bad way to increace difficulty and completely uneccessary as they are hard enough as is.
Title says it all.

Seriously, does fromsoft need to put a giant glowing sign on your screen that says "THE HEAD IS THE WEAKPOINT" or something?

Why are you using auto-aim? Git gud and start 360 no scoping those dragons! It's ez!

I don't even bother with weakpoints on enemies that large, I just go for the legs. But seriously though, the smallest dragon's limbs are still SUV sized, if you're not hitting them, you're not trying hard enough.

To be honest the weakpoint placement on some bosses is cruel, like fire giant's weakpoints being hands , which he moves away often before you even get to hit them

Not sure what you are referring to. The big dragons out in the world? Pretty sure you can target their feet. I know for a fact you can target the feet of the Ghostflame dragons in the DLC.

yeah good luck trying to hit the head of those white lightning dragons consistently

The worst part is that they do allow you to lock on to feet for normal dragons but not for these lightning ones. Hitting the feet feels much safer and better.

They're pretty weak though.

The only one that isn't is Ancient Dragon Senessax who you should NOT be locking on to. He's the only dragon I found I needed a horse for.

The one in Altus Plateau and the Farum Azula ones are pretty low on HP and Damage and don't have any crazy attacks like Senessax.

yeah doesn't matter it's still a garbage design decision they made which makes their fights feel even clunkier than they would've been already

Yeah, a weakpoint you can't even hit 90% of the time...

I just started playing with this, learning to focus my camera where I want the strikes to land over locking on...I'm still pretty clunky but I see the potential for sure.

I'm a melee build and im too short to reach sennesax' head. Just let me clip his toenails and be done with it

Lock on is a trap. You should be playing unlocked a lot of the time
