Why can't we replay bosses for fun after game beat?

[Goliath]

Dark Souls 3 is great. In parts. I only play the game for Pontiff, Soul of Cinder, Loth/Lorian, and Dancer. The rest of hte game is an awful drag for me.

So the question is: why can't we just replay the bosses we like for fun? Balance? Don't give too many souls for it...

They'll lose their value? Just make it so we can reset an area, and we have to get all the bonfires again/find the fog gate again before we can replay the boss.

Other than that, I don't see why I have to replay the entire game just to play the few good bits. I'm on NG 4+ but my patience for the BS sections of the game is withering.

And co-op is too hard to find. Not to mention, I don't want to 2v1 the boss.

Wow, just wow. Firs time i see this complain :o

step 1: get to the boss you want before it is dead
step 2: quit the game and find where your save is located
step 3: backup your save

now you can fight the boss as much as you like you just have to reload your save after every kill



not that I understand the appeal to doing so

Not going to lie, rarely see this complaint on the forums. Think it's a pretty fair one.

It would be nice to see some kind of Boss Rush mode/function in future From Souls titles.

Bonfire ascetic please, one of the best things in dark souls 2.

It wouldn't be very lore-friendly. But, the Bonfire Ascetic isn't. Dark Souls 2 lore sucks, anyways. "LOLOL TIME IS CONVOLUTED" - Hidetaka Miyazaki

They could always set up something at the bonfire of the boss you kill, some option to fight it again (kind of like being summoned so if you die or win you just return to the place you left which would be that bonfire)

That's completely different, I don't want to go play a laggy easymode where some other dipsh*t's screwing up the fight, I want to fight the boss myself with whatever gear I choose, without having to run through the entire game again just to refight after I win.

Kill yourself before you completely kill the boss. Then you can fight them however much you want.

If only you paid attention that all 3 Dark Souls Lore are connected (excluding Demon Souls and Bloodborne).
DS1+2 the Canon Ending is Linking the Flame. DS3 is difficult but best Theory of its Canon ending is 'The End Of Fire' rather than continuing the Flame cycle since it has become so very weak.

Hard to find coop? Then you are under or overleveled, summoning times are great atm. maybe try a new char who is not ng+ already, most people don't do ng.

For the main toppic, they tried that in DS2 with burning ascetics, see the sea of tears and walls of flames in the ds2 forum about it, granted they flame and cry about everything but still ...

I think the reason that you can't fight bosses over and over again is probably that it would be way too easy to grind souls.
