The hit boxes...

[Gearwar]

For almost every boss are ass.

Done are the days when quality hitboxes reigned supreme in ER. Now its just there to punish and input read everything so we can maintain the illusion of difficulty.

I am talking about the DLC. The base game was already suffering from weird terrain interactions in regards to hit boxes and the quality from previous souls games in that regard already took a hit. But the DLC takes it to another lvl.

Gtfo. Commander Gaius alone. Its just bad.

And yet it needs to be said.

Obviously the delayed attacks and wonky hitboxes are bad, my biggest issue are the guaranteed / almost guaranteed attacks. The reason I hate the final boss and the fingers boss the most is because of this. All previous bosses can be done hitless if you are good enough to learn their pattern. Not soo much this DLC. Almost all bosses were designed to be difficult for the sake of difficulty and this pretty much ruins replayability for me.

ER apologists like to say ER hitboxes are fine because they are 1x1 mirroring the model. First, it's not, it it were, the game would not even run with such detailed collision maps. Second, hitbox too tightly mirroring the model is not used because it feels off and amateur, the collisions looks like they are activating too late.

Yep, hitboxes/collisions in ER are a bit "floaty", for the lack of a better description. Very similar to DS2 collisions.

Commander Gaius walks in

Dw i beat him, but its not fun. Its just not fun. Its poorly done boss fight, one of many.. and the bosses in the dlc so far have been all ♥♥♥♥♥ for the most part.

They will never do another tower knight fight from demon souls... where you go in, think " ♥♥♥♥ me".. and then find out the boss fight is not about difficulty. Its the feeling you have walking in, thinking you will never overcome this....Myazaki lost his way at this point.
Can't wait for the next souls game with even more input reading trash and even more aggressiveness.

with your skills this might become true don't worry

There's only a couple bosses moves like this..but I agree to an extent...I don't think it's glaring enough to say "the hitboxes" but some of the hitboxes are BS

Commander Gaius and Hippo are the best examples..but it's definitely what they intended(Gaius will trample you unless you iframe his whole body)...I really don't like having to pretime my rolls to an 1/8th of a second..

But again..it really is only a few moves that are this strict

Just git gud...it's all possible

you agree but say git gud... what is it? Sorry but Lies of P is a better souls title than this DLC because the bosses in lies of P atleast are not trash.
Its okay to say if something blows you know. And the bosses in the DLC blow.

I said two moves blow...Gaiuses charge and Hippos charge...Jesus Lies of P? no wonder people just tell you guys to git gud...

TBH it just took me a bit longer to dodge those moves...but I still got gud

Absolutely no choice with you people lol..and here's the evidence...git ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gud and stop trying to force people to not like the DLC..♥♥♥♥ dude grow up

[Sonnenbank]

Lies of P has far better bossfights.
However Elden Ring wins in almost every other Aspect

Both games are great but for very different reasons.

It took me about a day to beat every boss in the dlc. Also, Gaius was updated to be easier because people like you complained. Git gud

Went at it again today and got him in under 20 trys

Idk what people's problem is...some of the main bosses were harder
