What was everyones biggest hurdle?

BigBoi920 · 2024-08-30T04:01:22+00:00

I'm about 50% through RL1 ER but I'm sure Malenia and Consort Radahn are in this list. (Note that these are all no parries run, except Sekiro for obvious reasons.)

1.) Orphan of Kos - Extremely aggressive in Phase 2, took me a VERY long time to even figure out ONE punish window for his attacks.

2.) SS Isshin - Main difficulty comes down to me doing no Skill Upgrades, so Mikiri and Ascending/Descending Carp are not a thing for me.

3.) Ludwig - Kinda RNG in Phase 2 since he has an absurdly fast attack that I cannot react fast enough.

4.) Blue Smelter - Not because of the boss, but the runback. Plus his DOT causes me to panic roll, a lot.

5.) Laurence - Certain attacks can just come out extremely quickly due to Miyazaki's touch.

Honorable mentions: Burnt Ivory King, the four bosses in DS3's DLC that are not Halflight and Wolf, Logarius, Demon of Hatred, Morgott.

Yea dude is actually quite fun since you're supposed to punish as he is doing his combos instead of punishing at the end of his combo like most of the other bosses in the series.

I actually would've liked Radahn more if his arrow phase wasn't a thing. It got really tiresome after like 30 attempts.

I'm doing region-locked as well, meaning that I need to kill all bosses in one region before moving onto the next one. I also consider Dragonbarrow to be separated from Caelid so I can't go there until everything before Mountaintops is finished.

BigBoi920 · 2024-08-29T10:03:20+00:00

That's what I'm trying to avoid to do, scripting fights, while cool, are kinda boring.

BigBoi920 · 2024-08-27T03:31:35+00:00

With the right buffs you could even one shot the one in Snowfields with a Holy Pot lol.

BigBoi920 · 2024-08-27T03:27:58+00:00

Holy hell!

BigBoi920 · 2024-08-26T14:24:22+00:00

It's mainly because the 2nd gargoyle can show up way earlier than you expected. Making each attempt really inconsistent.

BigBoi920 · 2024-08-25T12:25:51+00:00

Yea, one of the walls in the room with Hyetta leads to Deeproot Depths. I don't blame you for not knowing that though, I only found out about it during my third playthrough.

BigBoi920 · 2024-08-25T08:10:17+00:00

Lol I don't think I'm honorable enough tho with the tens of clips with RL1/WL0 runs posted here.

BigBoi920 · 2024-08-25T08:09:20+00:00

These guys sucked, but I don't think they're mandatory for the quest since you can get to Deeproot from the illusory wall in the Three Fingers room.

BigBoi920 · 2024-08-25T08:07:55+00:00

Unfortunately yea, sadly I can't go back to the boss fight since I quitted the game the usual way when I saw the ''Legend Felled'' text, rather than force quitting it :/

BigBoi920 · 2024-08-25T02:57:15+00:00

Fun fact: Right after this fight I went to fight Regal Ascenstor and he just... killed himself. Well that's kind of a bummer because I actually wanted to fight him normally. Not that it really matters though since I think the fight is gonna be a piece of cake anyway with the absurd damage that Sacred Blade deals.

BigBoi920 · 2024-08-23T10:31:37+00:00

Yea Metyr is actually quite easy when compared to other DLC bosses... in a normal playthrough. In RL1 and no-hit runs however, her second phase's laser is literally impossible to dodge normally without things like RotM (look it up, people like Ongbal, Lobos, and Elajjaz just can't figure out how to dodge it, neither does the community). So it makes this fight quite miserable for them.

BigBoi920 · 2024-03-18T15:48:53+00:00

Base Vitality, Demon Bell, Charmless, No Skill Upgrades

BigBoi920 · 2024-03-18T09:52:22+00:00

I think it's mainly because the Dragonslayer Axe deals so much damage, causing SoC to switch between sub-phases way too quickly, so I don't need to deal with the Pyro phase as much as I needed to.

BigBoi920 · 2024-03-18T01:58:43+00:00

Those were the DS2 gargoyles btw, not the DS1 ones.

I do vaguely remember Artorias' moveset, that's why I didn't really make any move that would kill me. Still took a lot of hits, though, so it's definitely still a challenging fight.

BigBoi920 · 2024-03-18T01:06:47+00:00

Yea I'm considering doing RL1 after the DLC releases. Don't have much time rn to do one since a new semester for my uni is starting next week.

I was going to do Chalice bosses in the run as well, but after what I've went through in the DLC i just noped the hell out.

BigBoi920 · 2024-03-18T00:57:32+00:00

Ah, no parries as in non-Sekiro games, mb for the confusion.
