The first boss is harder than any Souls-like boss
Over 20 deaths and I still can't beat her. No boss in Dark Souls was this hard, or any other Souls-like.

So if you've read reviews of people claiming the bosses are easy, they aren't, don't worry.

Inb4 git gud, skill issue.

EDIT: Finally beat her after ~30 deaths. I will say this, her moveset felt fair. What moves she's going to do is easy to read and you have a reasonable amount of time to dodge/parry. The only problem was that if you're not perfect and get hit, you lose a large chunk of your health even with several points in vitality. Unlike Elden Ring's bosses which are garbage design, but they had less health so I could kill them faster.

I probably could've made the fight easier by using the resist holy consumable, maybe adding fire to my weapon for extra damage. But that early in the game you have so few items and I didn't want to waste them.

To all those people beating their chest saying "She's easy", what games do you play for a challenge then? I'd be curious to know, because I like difficult challenges.

I've beat every Dark Souls boss, most souls-like bosses, 1000's of invasion kills, All the Valkyries in GOW, solo'd Remnant, and was pleasantly surprised to find the first boss of this game to be such a good challenge.

I put her on about the same level as Pontiff, only harder. She reminded me a little of the Valkyrie fights in GoW, probably giving the edge to Sigrun in terms of difficulty.

Serious question though. You can give me jesters or whatever, call me names, say skill issue, all good, but just tell me where the REAL difficulty is.

Thanks and have a nice day.

Also congrats to OP for beating her.

She is easy. Just take off some armor so that you are able to light roll, and you can just out space most of her stuff. You don't have good enough armor for tanking yet anyway.

At least 30 deaths now. I've beaten Hellpoint and Asterigos, got 3/4 of the way through Dark Souls before I got bored, and a little of DS2. Probably some other Souls-likes as well. I've never had this much trouble with ANY boss from those games. She's way overtuned for so early in the game when you have like nothing. I'm not saying she's impossible, I'm saying it's way too ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tough.

I can't express how much I am angry at the people who claimed the bosses were super easy.

Don't summon the guy because it makes it harder, two hand your weapon, parry the regular attacks. Yet I still can't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ do it.

My god finally, after a solid 30 tries. Hopefully future bosses will be easier because I'll be more geared up.

Pieta is far from overtuned. But if you struggled that badly with her, you'll be in a world of hurt for what comes next. Good luck to you.

Always a good laugh when someone complains about Pieta being unfair

I agree that she is over tuned for a first boss, but going light weight means when she does her ground slam into an aoe, you can roll twice and be out of the AoE.

Or just roll once and then backstep+circle towards her back (at medium load). No, the problem with her is that each of her attacks does an insane amount of damage. I was playing hallowed knight.

I got a question, if you use a consumable in a boss fight and die, is the consumable refunded? Stuff like adding fire damage to your weapon.

It wouldn't be a consumable if it were refunded, would it?

it's because the dmg to health ratio is off, you hardly do dmg and the boss has a lot of hp. game becomes easier as you get op, just like any soulslike. you get very op later on.

Yeah, and how is that working out for you?

And that is why you go light roll, so you don't get hit at all.
