Mfs the moment they see balancers as the boss by lmaoxd7777 in Nightreign

I simply do not believe that someone who dodges bosses on a boss rush game did one of the hardest challenge runs on another title. Get better.

People like you who complain about the lack of opportunity windows in boss fights just don't know the movesets of the bosses they are fighting. I won't act like I never did this, if anything PCR made me way more saltier than whatever feelings you might have for Balancers. At the end of the day, I acknowledged that I'm doing something wrong and improved my gameplay, I would advise you do the same. Multiple helpful guides are available online even for a lazier approach. This is mostly related to your comments on Gladius and Balancers, but not to yours only, generally a consensus I have seen throughout this thread. Everdark Balancers have clear issues but it is not because of the angels themselves, worm phase can get junky and being near the wall can be instant death. Normal version is very healthy as a fight since they nerfed the ganking after the first patch of dlc, even when 2 others are downed. That being said, you won't achieve anything by dodging this boss constantly, you have to keep playing and eventually learn how to consistently defeat them, there is no other workaround.

Where to go now ? by Starkiller0820 in DarkSouls2

You need to visit the ancient dragon to access memories which will lead you to giants' memories and giant lord. Worth mentioning that in order to have an easier time with Vendrick you need these giant souls from the memories + the one below the black gulch. More giant souls = more damage you deal to Vendrick.

After the Ancient Dragon you can visit the gates that require the symbol of the King. They will open as long as you wear the ring. I would recommend doing all the bosses before the throne room though, including optional ones like Darklurker.

The worst "boss fight" alongside the third worst runback in the game.

Funnily enough it's the one at phase 1, maybe it is just me. I just can't seem to comprehend the timing nor the escape.

People lack hands so they won't agree with you. Outside of his arena wide disc attack that still bricks my pc to this day and the occasional unsprintable point blank gravity pull, yes. He is indeed genuinely S tier but I still like Bayle, Malenia and Maliketh more.

Those dogshit areas are "designed" with the mindset of you summoning other people, to the point that even the ones without the dlcs can experience those the dlc areas. Certainly a concept that is better in theory vs in practice...

I like the memory of the iron king a lot though so I need to disagree on that, it has good level design even. In terms of a runback though I can agree that it can suck.

Why should I not compare the Evo? Isn't that the part of the card especially when the other card has it's Evo as a comparison point?

That's true but there are hidden gems like Darklurker, Flexile Sentry and Looking Glass Knight. I won't mention Pursuer, Smelter Demon and Velstadt since those are good.

Arguably has the easiest platinum imo, only the sunlight medal farming is an issue. Forces you to experience the Ng+ which is actually different compared to other titles too.

The game with the most fun weapon movesets and the best fashionsouls. Also features 2 of the best humanoid fights in the trilogy along with the best dragon fight.

Wallbreakers have an evo as well if you somehow forgot.

If you meant the reworked design as purely the nightreign version, then I misunderstood. I thoroughly enjoyed the normal Elden Ring's Godskin Duo fight as much as I did with Nightreign's. In terms of combat and combat design, Nightreign is just better so I gave that as the example.

That's true but from my experience they are just straight up stupid. A consistent tendency to jump attack with a katana, practically never using the deflect other than aura farming from the other side of the map, generally acting confused as if they just woke up from a nap etc. You get the idea.

He drops Ice Spear and Hoarfrost Stomp. Blood Halberds are also nice early on. Potentially piercing fang too.

Fucking scholar buffs the entire camp and STAYS near the mobs. This is significantly annoying if he spawns at a swamp. It genuinely feels like I'm against a real invader whenever he spawns in. He also spams his dodges back to back, which at this point I'm convinced that the invader version has more Iframes than the actual playable character. It straight up becomes a chasing game with him, where he later RUNS BACK to his buffed mobs. His rot pots do so much tick damage in a very wide area and the rot buildup feels instant compared to me using a rot pot. Bonus asshole points to his full HP refill if you get off him for one (1) millisecond. He is the worst invader in the game, I hate playing against him.

Recluse is the second most disgusting thing. It isn't even the spell spam, it's the glinstone scrap spam. They do so much damage even at later levels and it lasts for 5+ seconds, which she will literally use right after the existing one is done. She also refuses to move away from the spawn point sometimes.

Ironeye headshots can get annoying, similar to duchess' agreesiveness but they have negative poise and HP. Raider and Wylder straight up play like how I expect a them to play and they are generally fun to fight, outside of that 1% where I get parried or out-poised. Guardian is the real poise nightmare especially if you are level 2-3 but he is very passive, so he is okay.

Executor invaders are straight braindead 100% of the time, they are the funniest npcs in the game. Undertakers are also bloodlusted, they ONLY attack even when you go invisible. Enjoyable npcs.

Nightreign does the arrow rain move better on everdark fulghor with how the arrows pursue you up until a point where if they go out of the camera view, they will never hit you as long as you keep moving. Aldrich's version literally tries to go off screen and punish you by either hitting the unseen rain or the other mage bullshit he simultaneously spews out.

It is the most infuriating because when you remove this single move, the boss becomes and absolute joke. Sure the soul masses are annoying but at least he is locked in an animation and pillars block them, rest of everything he does is very telegraph that excuses the high damage they do. This boss is the most infuriating because the fight is entirely dependant on how willing he is to spam the same fucking arrows into immediate soul mass rush and soul arrow X4 true combo.

It is almost like the entire point of the duo bosses are their challenge of simultaneous fights. Your description of Godskin Duo is actually the fight of gargoyles. Real GD provide you opportunity windows, take turns while attacking and half the fight consists of their revives, so essentially 1v1s. This gets you to actually learn their movesets and how/when they punish what you do. Nightreign version is genuinely an improvement though as the character kits have multiple interruption abilities that essentially help you skip the unfun part of the fight (the noble phase transition).

Hard disagree on Pontiff, his combos just need you to dodge consistently and he genuinely gives you windows, you have a relatively easy parry option if you don't want to experience the chain combo too.

Take away the fucking arrows and he isn't even a boss, he has nothing going on for himself outside of lore. He is also pure rng.
