    Pro tip: put your flasks in your pouch, so instead of cycling through your items with the down button, hoping you don't accidentally go one past the flask you want, you only need to hold Y and tap a direction to use the flask you want! It's so much faster. For example, I put health on left button, FP on right button, physick on down, and Torrent's whistle on up.

    @gamester512 Před rokem +2

    I know the feeling of getting frustrated with a particular boss. Happened to me with the Ulcerated Tree Spirit (the one that gives you the Oleg summon). Every time I walked into the boss room, it would immediately rush at me with the grab almost before I was even done with the animation of going through the fog door. But it made it so satisfying when I came back later with the Sword of Night & Flame and just wrecked the thing with the R2 weapon art. To a lesser extent I had frustrations with the Magma Wyrm that drops the Moonveil katana as I just kept getting combinations of bad luck (like getting stuck on the boss's body so that you just get dragged through it's "charge" attack for what is essentially an OHKO.
    At the same time, there have also been bosses I just trivialized, like the Cemetery Shade (by the time I actually stumbled on the thing I was overleveled), as I just outright one-shot the thing with the R1 weapon art from the Sword of Night & Flame. The Erdtree Avatar as well (the first one Asmon fought), I managed to beat the thing without getting hit even once.
    I'm sure other bosses will give me trouble down the road though, Flying Dragon Agheel for instance I expect will be infuriating.

    Tip dump for the friendos
    The Statue guard dog fight has a method to it, a method that applies to basically any Xv1 fight actually, with some exceptions depending on enemy design.
    They're both long animation enemies so all you gotta do is sprint close and then away from one and then beeline the other and attack it.
    Preferably sprinting to the melee focused one because that triggers it's AI into winding up and attacking you so once you've gotten close and dipped out again you've effectively tricked it into restricting where it can move for the next few seconds, A soft stun pretty much, because it will wind up, and it can only now move as far as it's attack hasrange, separating them briefly. Rinse and repeat.
    You do this with Mobs as well, run close to one without attacking it to trigger an attack and then charge the other, Or keep baiting attack responses by entering and exiting range until they've moved away from each other. Its a spin on the FPS concept of winning 2v1s. "First rule of a 2v1 is, don't take a 2v1."
    Separate the enemy and take multiple 1v1s. In FPS games that's done by moving around cover in such a way that only one enemy has line of sight on you at a time, which lets you duel and kill them before peeking the second one and killing them in a second duel. 2 enemies simultaneously in play, but only engaged one on one so they can't gank you.
    In a game like elden ring you replace cover with forcing animations without ever committing to the fight until enemies have been staggered into waves that can't hit you at the same time.
    Alternatively you can use a spirit to distract one and just wail on the other, it's effectively the same thing but if you consider spirits cheap you can do it this way on your own (Weird flex when the game throws two enemies at you but okay)
    This same strategy works on the twin crucible knight/ordovis(I say this cuz if the dogs are giving you trouble then those two will fuck you up)
    Redmanes flame makes that fight much easier though because you can trigger them both into an attack, back out of their range and then free aim a wall of poise breaking flames from just outside their attack range while they're still locked in the previously baited attack, which can hit both of them, without allowing them to reactively attack you because you started to charge a spell like they're designed to do, and because that attack lingers and moves outwards you can walk well back and send the flames out as they're walking towards you, they'll meet it halfway and take the hit.
    Super effective against the twin dogs too but, they're manageable without it just by baiting one and attacking the other.
    You really don't want to trigger the knights second phases at the same time though, If you can trigger the shield knights phase 2 first then you can bait the Wing attack where it flies past you, just dodge through the attack and he'll land massively separated from the other one which you can then attack or, use that to give you a window to trigger the spear one into an attack so that his range of motion is restricted while you fight the shield one with some space etc.
    Long story short, stop trying to get hits on a 2 v 1 pair when they're standing within range of each other, you WILL get slapped by the other guy.
    Works on mobs too, just run close and away, trigger a couple swings in your direction to limit movement and counter attack in that gap.
    And for the love of god drop some armour if you're fat rolling. Protection is great but you don't need it if you don't get hit to begin with and dodging ranged attacks is really easy when you're not fat rolling, You can basically just spam roll for constant I frames to close distance and then attack one then roll more.
    If their attacks aren't synchronized, try to use a throwing dart to hit one, staggering him. Chances are when he recovers he'll be firing in sync with the other guy now and you'll dodge both of their attacks with the same roll making it even easier.
    If you use a heavy weapon, Carry bone darts (If you can't be fucked to farm crystals for that kinda dart bone darts will do) because they give you consistent and fast damage output that you can basically use as a quick attack.
    Once you have the bones available for purchase at round table you can literally farm a bunch of runes, buy a metric shit tonne of thin bones and have the darts permanently bound to square (X on Xbox I think?) I have 600 stored away from a single farm session, and if an enemy is strong against your weapons damage type they may be weak against the darts. The crystal duo for example was taking more damage per dart hit than my fucking 18+ katana was doing a swing so it had even more utility than just additional damage.
    Heavy weapons have great power but even their fast attacks are slow, so run darts to replace your fast attacks and abuse the fuck outta heavy attacks whenever you actually have the chance, it's a hell of a lot better than just spending most of your fights dodging and then landing one or 2 hits max every time an enemy cycles through their combos on you.

      A bow, shield and bone darts will literally change the difficulty of the game massively and even make some weapons infinitely less risky to use.
      Those three things lets you safely attempt dodges, give you a consistent and fast damage output that'll circumvent the clumsiness of many weapons and let's you select how many enemies you aggro at a time, all of which means you can take things at your own pace.

    • @readifdumb
      @readifdumb Před 2 lety +3

      Let me tell you, I know exactly what you mean. Dark Souls has got to be the most lonely and sad experiences, both aesthetically, but also because I die a lot in them. This game isn't near that level, tbh.
      The world is vast, but it isn't lonely - the amount of merchants, NPCs you can find, it is filled with them. The aesthetic being very other-worldly/magical really adds to the experience. Even some important bosses have opening cinematics and they talk to you during their fights. Also if you're ever having trouble, go somewhere else, fight an easier boss, level up, come back with near gear and a higher level and win. I've beaten most bosses in a few tries, or even 1 try (I beat Rennala 1 try), and I've only ever beaten Dark Souls 1, so it's not like I am that great at these games. Godrick was a huge pain though, but I could even see methods to level past him (I missed so many bosses before fighting him). This is probably the most brimming with life Souls game FromSoft has made, both literally and metaphorically.
