Whoever came up with Hollow Crow "bossfight"…
needs to be banned from development of soulslike genre.
This one cannot even be called bossfight. Devs might be desperately trying to be DS2 but immitating aspects that DS2 got criticized for is nothing but a dumb decision IMO.

There are so many other bosses absolutely lacking fun fighting with, but this is another level as it is mandatory to defeat this guy for story prgress to reach one of beacons.
If this fight was optional I would've skipped with no hesitation.

I mean, a huge crow-like creature is right in front of you and all you have to do is smacking a ghost lady's ass??? I see a ruined opportunity of this could've been one of fun bossfights right there. Such a shame.

I want to know what you guys think about it.

True. 1vs2 in Ruin Sentinel bossfight in DS2 feels much better at this point. A picnic walk compared to this one.

DS2 has its flaws but nothing in it is purely obnoxious and irritating.
LotF is an amazing concept but the devs do not understand the difference between 'challenging' and 'obnoxiously irritating'
And there is a big difference, not like its a fine line or anything..

You must be new here. Go play DS1 and fight The Bed of Chaos. You'll see what a joke boss really feels like.

My thought exactly lmao
Instead all he does is spamming ice missiles right into our faces while chilling on his bed. What a joke

Yeah, this boss is pretty lame, and such a time waster. U basically afk the entire fight, and can randomly Get one shot in last phase of the fight. So now u have to afk it all over again.. pretty booring boss.

I played DS1 and defeated that guy multiple times - but you're right, that was another example of joke "boss fight".

At least Bed of Chaos does not spawn enemies endlessly though(which does not justify BoC's terrible fight design lol)

Fight was a bit monotonous for sure but the real pain is if you summon an NPC. They don't know how to dodge for beans. Luckily I was a radiance build and kept them healed.

I enjoyed the hollow crow event, but the game could use a few more major boss encounters.

I honestly kind of liked it. First time I really engaged with the Soul Siphon -> Soul Flay mechanic (that is, needing to refill my Soul Flay mid combat manually). Not sure how I'll feel on repeats, though.
