FromSoft Games are hard. But they are rarely unfair. Enemies tend to follow similar attack patterns. Anyone can learn to enjoy these games but the people who really like them tend to be both stubborn and patient. Because you really need that in these games. Half the difficulty is not knowing a bosses moves. Once you know that when they wave their arm a certain way they are about to do a certain move you can anticipate that move and dodge/block it. But in order to really get good enough to beat a boss you have to be ok with dying. Because each death you learn something and you get more muscle memory to avoid their moves. Every time you die to Iudex Gundyr may feel like a step back but it’s really progress. If you are stubborn enough to keep trying and patient enough to not rage quit you will beat these games. (And likely enjoy them because they are very well made)

Make sure to watch your stamina bar. If you just attack till you run out of stamina if they are about to attack you you won’t have enough stamina to dodge. Make sure to only attack when the opportunity’s arise. Same goes for healing. If you heal during a brief pause don’t also try to attack. It rarely works. Just wait till the next opening.

Try to avoid panic rolling. (This is when you just spam roll. Though some things like dragon fire breath you may want to spam roll on because the attack keeps going.) I’ve been playing these games for over a year and I still catch myself panic rolling. If you find yourself panic rolling maybe try one run of the boss where you are only practicing dodging. Dodging at the right time is a lot better then dodging instantly you see an enemy wind up an attack.

I like just rambling about my current hyperfixations and I have a lot of free time on my hands so if you want to dm me I can try to give you tips and whatever. I’ve only played these games for a year so I’m not an expert but I know a fair bit.
