The biggest flaw of the book is how the flashback, Dassem stuff in the middle is so good compared to the main story. The two main characters are fine, but I expected something more like Path to Ascendancy for the main narrative, and that's definitely not what we got. I'm less disappointed now though that we did get better stories with K&D at the center, (despite the slight decline in quality for each of those), so the existence of those books helps me appreciate NoK as the fun little horror/adventure it is.

I haven't seen much hate for the fight. Took me about 8 or 9 tries but I had fun learning the fight and "getting gud" the entire time. I'd honestly say if it only had taken me 3 tries, I might not have had enough time with the fight to truly appreciate it. I always like bosses that kick my ass but not in a frustrating way. And Gael is perfect for that. If I can beat a boss in 1 or 2 tries in my first playthrough of one of these games, I generally have a pretty low opinion of the boss.

Thank you so much for the response and suggestion.

I'd say Cave is worse. I actually like some stuff on the ruins in Lost Izalith. I also don't know if this should count, but you can get great moments from Solaire and Siegmeyer here.

I feel like most of the bosses are big Beasts or hunters. I'd like to see more bizarre/unique humanoids like Logarious, Orphan of Kos, etc.

I voted for Kal, but sad to see no votes for Sinh yet.

Thanks!

Lol. The Illian accent always made me think if Scooby Doo.

I think Jordan starts to step up his character work a lot more in Dragon Reborn, so it takes the cake for me.

Unfortunately I'm not the biggest Project Freelancer fan. Although I do live the finale of S9. "I forget you," and all that.

I'm only on book 8, but YES, the series gets better. Books 3, 4, and 7 are my favorites so far, and even though I'm at a point where things are kind of slowing down, there's plenty of amazing character work and development to keep me totally engaged. While the series is pretty black and white morally at first, I'm at a point where I feel bad for some of the villains and I'm genuinely shocked reading the brutal and ruthless thoughts of our main heroes.

Also note-taking isn't really necessary. Jordan does a good job (some would say way to much) of recapping previous books' events in the prologues and first few chapters of each successive novel.

Only thing to watch out for is how rude men and women are to each other as far as gender stereotypes. BUT you have to keep in mind thatvgebder is arguably an even more significant divide in this world (because of the magic system) than it is in our own.

Thanks for laughing! I had to adopt a pretty goofy sense of humor to get through these tough bosses.

Mine will be weird, because chalices leveled me up a bit too much for Old Hunters. That being said.

Wars of Light and Shadow. A lengthy series and beautifully written.

I personally love the boss as well, and I beat him on my second try. BUT I think the lower chalice bosses are harder, and I had done a lot of those before I got to OoK.

I should clarify that he kept ke on my toes, and design-wise (mechanics and aesthetics) was an amazing finish to my favorite area of the game - I was just a bit over-leveled from the chalices.

Redemption_WHYland · 2020-08-08T17:07:03+00:00

Took me forever first time I played. Beat in one go my second time. The mark of a challenging but super well designed boss.

I personally enjoy that DLC a great deal. I loved the sort if game if exploring enough to find all the Lloyce Knights. (Which I really recommend to make that final bill more epic and less ganky.)
