Same. I genuinely think people that have a hard time in these kind of games dont read and/or dont experiment.

Ive noticed in the DLC theyve even made notes on the floor for basic stuff such as enemy weak spots which way MORE telling to the player than the base game and even any other FS game lmao

I dont get it. And almost 90 percent of the time the person thats complaining is literally missing a mechanic. Like leveling up health matters, your weapon type and element against certain enemies/bosses matter, literally use spirits that the game is built around (and why bosses are the most aggressive in this game than any other FS n the multi boss fights) if youre having a hard time - its a main mechanic in ER unlike the npc summoning in other FS titles which are optional, use the scardutree blessings if its too hard and again what the dlc is literally built around and its major mechanic in gameplay and lore, etc.

S***s stupid. You can ignore whatever & play the game how you want but if how youre playing is frusturating you badly while youre ignoring key mechanics and information then thats a you issue, not the game.

Most of the time the player frustration is self inflicted.

I think I just found Malenia… gonna 1 try her let’s see

i mean thats the thing lol most people are straight garbage at the game

no idea about mechanics, or how damage works and their builds and weapons aren't optimized at all.

Or they just haven't done any actual exploring to collect s*** that could help them.

Chat I’m f***ed

I BEAT THE FINAL BOSS LETS F***ING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The temptations were strong... Bleed, summons, shields, all called out to me...

I SAID NO

hardest boss in the game and of any game ever doesn't matter what anyone says otherwise

Theres a pot hanging near a waterfall to catch its water

Make sure you shoot it with an arrow

Nah im not even talking about people that arent genuinely good st the game

Most people i see complain about the game are those that put stupid restrictions on themselves or dont read any items/notes that give a lot of info about weapon attacks, weak spots, resistances, key item purpose etc.

It was especially bad during the base game when a lot of people were refusing to use spirits and not upgrading vitality - or they refuse to even look at crafting when some of those items could and do help a lot in very specific situations

Self inflicted frustration

Im better than most at these lind of games but part of it is that i go through and use everything - since Dark Souls 1

Cerulean Coast

That dragon pissed me off for so long with his f***ing minions.

I randomly beat her absolute ass the other day.

Got to second phase

Man what the f*** is this

Use stone of gurranq and keep doming its head

It staggers dragons for crits super easy makes the fights a cakewalk with the wyverns

That stone spell is one of the best

Beat him eventually with my old blood fiend arm.

Run.

Holy attacks from weapons or spells or spirits hurts deathblight enemies a s***ton too in general

The deathbirds to the dlc wyverns to the knights etc

don't give up u got this

I saw that but way too late lol

Should’ve used my sacred relic

Unless you use rivers of blood

Last night a took an L but I think I made a breakthrough b4 I slept. I got him at quarter health rn I think I could beat him now

Had him 1 hit and 5% or less 3 times. So gross getting light beamed to f*** within an inch of his demise

It really just takes that one perfect run

nah he has certain weaknesses like using block with a sword or shield

Consistently getting to second phase just can’t really get anything done on that phase… I’ll figure it out another day
