elden beast is a joke

[Emerance]

The boss looks dumb as hell. Like its a super pretty stuffed animal toy.
Then it just swims around in a literal ocean that you have to run back and forth through. By the time I reached it four times it would just swim to the other side.
This feels like a joke to end the game.

Can’t be Elden lord unless you have good cardio

You can't skip leg day if you wanna become Elden Lord

I disagree. It's like a monster made out of dark matter, a beast with inhuman proportions yet which does not seem outright evil or chaotic - it is simply a force of nature. The arena and music are also beautiful, and his attacks and spells are very varied and awesome.

It's not hard to catch either, and I never understood why people complained so much about it. All you have to do is run and dodge a handful of spells - it's a nice change in pace. I think they also nerfed his tendency to run away in a patch not long after launch.

There are ways to fight and enjoy it, and I'm sure with a simple search on "the search engine" (for there is only one truly) you can find the answer to that if you wish.

Otherwise this topic is beating a very dead, and pre-bashed horse.

They forgot to enable the effing horse

black tornado goes bbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

If you get really lucky some times the boss will just spawn its distance closing attack after running away rather then spawn its stun locking auto aiming nuke attacks none stop. It ok when that happens but other wise its clear that this was just shoved in to pad out the ending.

Feel like playing monster hunter when fighting it.

Yes, it is total crap, utter garbage, worst boss of all souls-like games and I am including the worst DS2 and LotF bosses.
From could make the best bossfights (Malenia, Godfrey/Hoarah and Maliketh) and the worst bossfight (Elden Crap) in the same game, they achieved the Alpha and the Omega of boss fights in the same game, just From to do it.

In my opinion, never too late to bash this dead horse that should not exist to begin with.
I dont care what anyone say, when I defeat the final boss I just skip this boring playable cutscene with Mimic +10 because I dont want to waste so much time running around for this crap.

Exactly, and I hated to have to run around the "bosses" at Monster Hunter World every 2 to 5 hits.
Fortunately From did not copy the MHW idea or else we would ahev to run after Elden Beast through ther whole capital or maybe even through the whole game and without Torrent, what would be a true pain.

The game may be old to some of yall but this is my first time playing it - so bashing on this boss is new to me lol

I am really not a fan of these bosses that barely fit into your screen.

An understandable reaction to such an awful final boss. It was annoying on caster and it was annoying on melee (for different reasons).

I second the opinions that this boss was intended to be done with access to Torrent...

This boss introduces about as much running to the fight as midir does. so much more than the usual boss, but far from being too much. At least that's what I think about it.
I quite like the elden beast.

Far from that, Midir if you stay under him the boss will not get away that much, also the distance is not that ludicrous either, Elden Crap on the other hand, you do 2 to 5 hit and that crap gets running away, sometimes for minutes until it decides to stop running (either flying or diving under the floor)
