First boss in demo day 3

[sanneh2]

So I'm trying to beat the big yeti boss in the demo. It's probably day 3 that I am attempting to do it. It's not particularly hard. Although it's made that way. The fight is pretty long to begin with since I deal low damage, but I noticed that some attacks are a bit unfair. for example there are some lunge attacks the boss does and if you dodge at the last second he will follow you when he shouldn't. While I have nothing to complain about, making the game arbitrarily difficult by design is not what all the whomp is about and I would prefer to be done with it already and move on. I survived Elden ring and would probably survive this, but I don't know if I can afford it at the moment. At least the demo is very fun and I already recommended it to a lot of people. I wonder if the game gets easier or not when it comes to potentially unfair boss mechanics that border on wonky or arbitrary design

I'd keep it simple, if you aren't enjoying that fight, you likely won't enjoy the rest. Hopefully you find something you enjoy.

Oh boy, you dont want to see next bosses. My advice for you is... Drop that game and find something else to enjoy. Cheers

Ye I mean I want to support and get you thru it because it's a awesome game. But if you got issues with the first boss I don't think you gona like what follows. If you got issues for example with his command grab you aint seen nothing yet =D

But if you want to continue it's good life lessons in there to be had, like nothing comes free in this life and if you do something long enough eventually you get better at it =D

Damn it. It's such a fun game and I like everything about it. Today will be the final day that I attempt the boss and if I can manage to beat it then I will continue playing it.

I didn't spend any extra time running around getting stronger, I just reached the boss with a natural progression. But there's a mechanic that gives you some extra Lacrima for each time you attempt the boss so you get stronger with each attempt, which is like a fail-safe mechanic for those that aren't naturally inclined to do a hardcore no-hit run.

I might be getting older, but this gamer is no noob

this boss has mostly identical moveset to the normal yeti outside. Practice on that one to get used to the boss and he should be easy.

Got him. It was looking bleak for a while, but I was getting closer and closer. Eventually I memorized literally every moveset and practices the hardest parts. I farmed 20k Lacrima total and leveled up Strength and Stamina.

In hindsight it was a very easy boss

That's true. I like to sleep on it. For example there's also a small boss when you start the game. I couldn't beat him the first day, but I could beat him on my first try the next day-
