Your reaction to Yhorm's boss fight

[Doppleman]

Hello,

I was really disapointed when I killed Yhorm, and I would like to know how went the fight for you too.

Here's how mine went:

- Enter boss fight: "♥♥♥♥ it's Yhorm, I'm gonna die!"
- Hit him: 61 dmg "OMG! This is going to be soooo hard!!!"
- Go get the Storm Ruler without reading what it does
- Continue to fight
- Yhorm's at 70% Hp, I have no estus: "This might be my favorite boss so far!! Damn he's tough!"
- I die
- Read the Storm Ruler
- Use the Storm Ruler against Yhorm
- Kill Yhorm in about 3 minutes
- ............
- Who, in the DS3 team, thought it would be a good idea to give the player a cheat weapon? Worst boss ever!

Honestly he is one of my favorite.IMO he is a challenge you can take the ♥♥♥♥♥ way and use the storm ruler, or you can do it the REAL way and kill him using your weapons, using your weapons makes for a very intense fight.

Anticlimactic. If you were to fight him without storm ruler, it would just be an endurance fight. His attacks are well broadcasted and therefore pretty easy to dodge consistently, the only times you would get hit would be if you get greedy. If you use storm ruler, its over in ~5 hits. Very underwhelming as he had potential to be the absolute coolest boss from a lore and gameplay perspective, but both fail to deliver. His lore is super interesting to me but we only get scraps of it.

to be fair, i had no idea you could grab the weapon before killing the boss, so my run through consisted of giving Yhorm a major indian burn on his arm.

Well, that was my reaction to my first meeting with him.
Obviously, if he was designed to be fought directly, he would have at least 4 phase to not bore the player with the same moveset for 30 minutes. But he was designed around the Storm Ruler which is a shame.

Also, to anyone who suggests me to fight Yhorm without the Storm Ruler, you are absolutely right.
I like hard games, but if you give me the opportunity to make the game easier, I can't resist. That's why I play Dark Souls,. Because there's no difficulty settings to tempt me. The feeling of wasting 30 minutes on the boss would be stronger than the feeling of accomplishment after defeating him the hard way.

And I actually wanted to read how went the fight for you. Stories. I was disapointed by Yhrom, but if someone had a great time, I want to know how much he enjoyed the fight.

You'll enjoy it alot more if you follow siegward's questline, it makes it more of a story fight over a boss fight, and it really succeeds in that aspect.

I suspect that originally Yhorm was designed as an optional boss and to defeat him you must obtain Storm Ruler... somewhere. Just like it was with King Vendrick in DS2. (You had to obtain certain items to defeat giant Vendrick.) But as the game (DS3) has undergone some alterations in order to please casuals, consequently, this boss fight has been altered as well. I am almost sure originally you have to complete Siegward's quest to obtain Storm Ruler, but in the end the developers simply dropped the weapon in the boss room. That's why there are two Storm Rulers in the game, which in ridiculous. (Two sets of unique weapon in on playthrough? Pardon?)

Why the hell would making him mandatory, which he actually already was because he's a Lord of Cinder, be for casuals? Not being able to obtain the Storm Ruler unless you followed Siegward's questline would be horrible game design. They actually have to think about this thing called balancing. Questlines are not mandatory for a reason.

Well.. did you play demon's souls? .. Fought the Maiden?
Yhorm isnt about the fight at all.. imo. It's about friendship, trust, mistrust .. strenghs and weak spots. Siegi kills him with the storm ruler because he was/is yhorms friend. Doing the necessary deed quick and relentless... as should you. Cause theres nothing left for yhorm to rule

You actually feel bad for Maiden. She's just trying to help her people.

Yhorm is just some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ who is letting the world end.

qUITE Funny reading this from a clouwn who doesnt know ds3 lore. Yhorm was a better person than maiden could ever dream to became.
