I cheesed the demon of hatred but honestly wasn’t even fun to fight. Game got easier when a user here suggested not to worry and suddenly i breezed through all the content.

Going into each fight with the mindset of doing it for practice made everything easier for some reason.

    Bloodborne is my favourite its fast but not too fast and still has the appeal of souls bosses being big clobbery monsters. The fact its still 30fps burns my very soul.

    Tho the main appeal for souls games was cosplaying as Guts guts-rage , sekiro is the best ninja game since Tenchu on the ps1 and bloodborne is just day to day life in the UK so it speaks to me directly.

    Just started AC now and so far is very interesting, wasn’t expecting a stagger meter for a mech game.

      My second 🔥 take: I think Laurence is a harder fight than the Orphan of Kos at higher ng+ levels. Up to ng3 I had no issues with Laurence and Orphan still slapped me around but come ng4 I was fine (relatively) with Orphan but genuinely gave up against Laurence.

      When someone said bairn in Elden Ring I felt that.

      Lmao the first boss slapped me around until I realised the laser sword melee does silly damage if you anime boost in front of the cockpit and connect the hit.

        I had a hard time with Lawrence the first time around and everytime after is so loooooooooooong. The worst thing about Lawrence though is the run back I’d have a much easier time without it. Orphan is my favourite fight outside of all the screaming.

        I also had a hard time with the first AC boss until I realised I’m actually just mechsekirosoulsborne. I dnow how the reliance on melee is gonna effect the variety of builds through the game. I did always like being able to make viable but stupid builds in the older games.
