There are several videos of a player that not only crushes bosses with ease, but does it with frailed blood and 10 levels under them. Look up Crimson Silhouette on Youtube.

A game isn't unbalanced just because some fights are difficult and punish your mistakes. Proper play is all you need to beat these bosses, and often while still playing it safe and taking no damage yourself.

There's nothing wrong with struggling, or turning down the difficulty to better suit you. You bought the game. You deserve to have fun, too. I just think it's a silly position to take that a game or the community is the problem when literally hundreds of thousands, if not millions, have overcome the "problem".

Yeah Farbane Woods is secretly the tutorial zone. The difficulty does spike up a fair bit when you hit Dunley. You'll get a wakeup call on some of the enemies and especially the bosses. But once you've gotten used to things you'll be cruising (until you get to Silverlight).

Kind of hard to give advice with no information. What is your current gear and ability setup? What are you struggling with?

Stay off the roads at first, there's lots of patrols on them and they might be the least safe place to be for you when your gear isn't that strong.

Search for the abandoned iron mine. Be VERY careful in there and prepared to run at any moment.

Since it's your first time, go after the V Blood bosses in exactly the order of their levels. Some of them patrol the road. Either lure them off the road or kill nearby patrols first. The last thing you need is a bunch of goons ruining your fight.

Yeah, the balance is the problem. Surely

tbh most basic enemy groups in the last area are harder than most bosses in the dunley area.

But I do agree the game needs to adjust the balance a little bit, once you learn how to play most bosses can never even touch you, and most boss attacks can be dodged by not mashing buttons and simply walking around, it would be nice if they were less predictable and actually required defensive spells to avoid some/more attacks.

I was surprised that draining the V bloods doesnt refill any of the blood bar, some fights i have easily go past 5 minutes and ive died to starvation alot

Oh definitely a general tip is ALWAYS keep an eye out for good blood, and don't be too proud to downgrade if you need to.

Difficulty is subjective. Most ppl i know can finish the game, maybe struggle with a few last bosses.
I found it ok till the last 3 bosses.
More often then not its me missing to build a unlock or not unlocking something to progress my gear.
As long as u got the apropriate gear, game aint so bad.

This is the most often mistake ive seen, undergeared players taking on bosses.
The game is made in such a way that you are pretty much always the same level as your next boss. If not above.

If you are under, eh.

use rogue blood by default, the movement speed and crit pair nicely for pve, the movement speed is most important so you can step out of AOEs instead of having to use the dash which maybe on cooldown.

You will need to use warrior blood for some boss encounters as the AOEs they do are broken(balaton) so increasing your tankyness is the solution to beating them.

The game is good overall, you have to adapt, its not going to let you just walk through it.

It took me 9 minutes to kill the final boss at 82 Gear Score (Takes around 7 minutes at max Gear score of 84) and that battle took 3.3 litres of blood.

That said, No fight except the level 83 Shard bosses takes more than 2.5 minutes if you have adequate gear and 60%+ blood. Going to 5 minutes means you're doing something very wrong and have acquired bad habits.

Once you have the prison from level 44 boss, you can buy fish from vendors and have infinite blood potions.

Nothing wrong with taking your time instead of rushing.

My bossfights can easily go over 5 minutes because I'm patient and wait for the right times to strike, and I usually end with enough blood to spare (although I do take backup blood potions along) and plenty more health than I would have had in a rushed fight.

I can attest to this. Not all fights have to be rush-downs. Sometimes it's better to take safe methods andit has nothing to do with lack of damage.

A lot of my boss fights go past 5 minutes purely because I build defensively. I have high damage hits, but I don't just rush in, I get attacks off opportunistically, while focusing on dodging and shielding to avoid the massive damage most bosses mid-late game do.

By definition it does.

You can simply bumrush Act 1 bosses such as the Bear with equal GS and turn it into a DPS race: Just spam all buttons not on cooldown with barely any dodging and still win.

Look no further than this very thread for a testament that this approach works less and less as the game progresses.

When it stops working the game gets called "cheap" by the OP.
