Maybe they did want you to use summons for those ones but the majority of the game is and has been intuitively made for solo and summoning a spirit really makes for an awkward fight

You also have to consider how lazy the summon system truly is...it's just enemy A.I....

Tell me when the ♥♥♥♥ I'm supposed to hit Maliketh without mimic tear making him forget I'm in the arena. Or when I'm supposed to hit Radahn 2 more than once when he's teleporting around the arena like he's Brawl Meta Knight.
Maliketh???you're kidding right?

I haven't fought Radahn 2 yet but I've seen no hits rl 1 no scadu...I'm not gunna ♥♥♥♥♥ if there is evidence against my complaint..but you probably have to be, at the very least, that smart to beat these bosses

The bastard spins around like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ beyblade, and he never STAYS IN ONE PLACE LONG ENOUGH TO ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ HIT.

He's not FUN to fight though. I despise the boss design of "They will finish their 5-7 attack combo whether you like it or not, it's going to take 25 seconds, and there will be exactly ONE second-long window to get ONE swing in before waiting another 25 seconds".

Solo, ash, coop, everything being said points to the fact the game is not fun. Busywork, memorizing movesets, executing timing to patterns. The massive damage is the only way to counter the inevitable crawl. An adaptive AI is what this game needs. The scripted nature leads to these idiotic arguments of whether to use them or not. That’s like saying don’t use ballistas in AOE4.

Elden Ring is a total joke. Especially if you played the other souls. Sekiro was also hot garbage.

Git gud and you won't have to use mimic

And no..they balanced the game around solo and said "here's summons if it's too hard" ..every move is dodgeable, blockable or avoidable
The Mohglestor and his phase transition would like a word

Oh no, I'm a scrub because I like my spirit ashes and sometimes ask for people to help. What ever will I do?

this is just another get good thread.

you can build to 1 hit bosses you can build to be immortal against bosses.

the game has many many systems and variables to make it as hard or easy as you want it to be.

people can do RL1 no hit runs. that's as difficult as it gets.
others stack buffs and delete any skill requirement from the game by killing bosses in 10 seconds.
others still build to hold L1 and spam R1 and just faceroll through the entire game on easy mode.
others use summons to distract the boss so they dont have to avoid so many of the mechanics.
others use peopel summons to carry them

if your running 40 vigor, 3 scadu, refuse to use summons ect ect and having trouble with he game that's 100% on you not the Devs / game design.
if you are doing everything humanly possible and still failing well practice more and get better.
you would have been a very upset kid in the 80's and 90's as nearly every game was super difficult with limited tries / lives then start over. the % of people that could actually finish a the vast majority of NES/ SNES games was exceedingly small... Elden Ring is easy in comparison to some of those retro games lol

play how you want. the tools are there. the difficulty is up to you. don't complain when you are refusing to use the tools.

Well said, There are variables for every type of player here. Nobody is built the same, so we have options. People with good reflexes, slow reflexes, old and young players, there are options for all. Why the hate for people that use these options? It should be a great brother (/sister)hood, no reason for the bickering, other than you got nothing else going for you in life.

he can have it once he fixes the bad optimization. Balance wise they should just leave it alone.

Why is that?

Because comparing ringing a bell and letting an automated drone take aggro for you with very little interaction or nuance is world's apart from having to dance with the boss yourself.

Blocking, rolling, parrying, understanding i-frames, timing weapon arts - like, people can use what they want - but I do think people should stop pretending that summoning is this 'vital' or 'necessary' mechanic.

It's not 'hard mode' to play without summons. It's just the norm'.
