Thoughts on "Decreased the HP of Fallen Archbishop Andreus"

[Locarbmonster8]

I've seen tons of people complain about this boss being very difficult (And maybe thats the case) but the problem is for me, I wont get to experience just how difficult the Archbishop boss fight actually was to other players who – lost several times to him; and to the players that finally beat him.

Now that the boss got nerfed, I honestly feel cheated out of that experience.
so can I somehow skip this patch? or Im screwed?

Either way, let me know your experience with this boss.

had no problems with him. not in the first or second playthrough. havent fought his nerfed version and i probably wont. the last chapter is so easy right now in terms of enemy hp that i dont care much about replaying it. but i got my 40+ hours, so im still happy.

ehhh i struggled with Mr. Bishop until i was like.... wait he is a gross slimy zombo mutant, they burn easily, equipped the fire stabber knife, got within 3 tries, people severely underestimate elemental weakness of Mr. Bosses

You can always not patch it, you can pick what version you want on steam? no?

Honestly, it's just the fourth chapter boss in the game.
I feel like Fuoco had just as much HP as his first phase.

The only downside is that because his first phase is shorter now it might be harder (oddly) for people to learn his attacks if they can burn the first phase quick enough. FIghting through a large HP bar usually forces one to learn the attack pattern. Not sure how easy he is to beat now, if he somehow got the Radahn treatment or something.

Don't worry about it just keep going and play the game on NG+ and so on if you want to further challenge yourself. The nerfs don't mean you're not a good player or whatever the boss just takes less seconds to down.

yeah, but if you want to legit not cheese some bosses, the good old "I like this weapon, no summon, just parry and standard charged attacks" becomes quite a shore.

Difficulty has always been subjective, you can make things more difficult for you by staying loyal to a play style or by hindering yourself with some limitations.

Thank goodness I fought Radahn before the nerf. Loved that fight

Oh I see what you are saying. and this is true, so maybe I'll test the boss first and see if I can make it challenging for myself. Thanks

Already killed him some time back but still it was about time.
The boss fight mechanics itself are fine but ♥♥♥♥ two huge HP bars just makes fight drag on for ages.
Besides they will get again a lot more tankier in NG+ and beyond so it is fine.

I'm happy to see someone on the "other side" of the spectrum finally understand why complaining about nerfs is silly, thanks for that ;-)

The patch is not out on gamepass, latest gamepass version right now is 1.1.2.0 the new version is 1.2.0.0 , it might take a day for the patch to get on gamepass

I recognized that as I booted up the game 30 mins ago. Thank goodness.

I don't think it's a big deal even with the hp neft a few less hits on the boss and that's it

[Zaney]

I don't think the hp nerf was needed, i was able to do him without much issue with an unupgraded spring sword.
