Skeleton Lords? wtf

[juzi]

Just finished the Skeleton Lords on my first try on my first playthrough. Am I the only one who thought they were way too easy? I killed the three lords before the minions spawned then just circled around the arena picking off one, two or three skeletons per swing of my +5 mace.

Easiest boss in the game.

Not really, the Congregation is at least twice as easy as the Skelly Lords. At least the Skeleton Lords posed a slight threat.

(Also Royal Rat Vanguard is easier imo).

The congregation becomes at least somewhat difficult when you use an ascetic, just because they do quite a bit more damage. Skeleton lords seem to stay easy though.

I think it's unfair to call Skeleton Lords easy aswell as chariot, because they are technically both "puzzle-bosses" (I know, there ain't that big puzzle to solve but it's not typical hack-and-slash either). I've seen plenty videos of newbies and even more pro players (I know personally one really good pvper who is... kinda bad in pve) and a lot of people die couple first times to skeleton lords because the skeletons overwhelm them and they didn't realize the trick behind the fight. Same with chariot, surprisingly many people miss that lever you need to pull (and those who don't miss, have hard time getting to it). These bosses are something many new players are meant to die in their first couple attempts.

Large number of Demon's souls bosses followed same formula. Some weird boss gimmick, you maybe die once or twice (if even that since demon's souls bosses were not that hard), then you learn it and boom, boss dead.

And there are plenty easier bosses than the chariot and skeleton lords in DS2. Single Dragonrider is by far easiest, anyone who says different hasn't got a clue. Congregate is pretty damn simple aswell, as is Jabba the hutt.

Skeleton Lords is one of the easiest bosses in the game and quite dissapointing considering it is on par in difficulty with the intro bosses.

The Lords suck. Slow attacks, slow movement, low health. The only thing that makes it challenging are the skeletons that spawn when they die and they are pretty easy to kite around the room so you only need to fight one at a time.

The bonewheel skeletons are annoying if you don't kill them quickly. In the first game they typically rolled and rolled untill they hit a wall and stopped after a while. This time they will stop and turn around after they pass you.

I could have sworn the Beta version is harder.
