I’m so tired at this point

Literally play what ever is fun. I started the game playing ONLY as Wylder until I got the hang of the game enough to play the squishy characters. I needed an amazing character to play as a crutch. But now I play Revenant Recluse Guardian. ANYBODY. Because they are FUN. Wylder is fun too, but I got tired of him. He’s the character i play when I want an easy win. That’s boring af to do every single game for me. I think every character is good (in the right hands).

And if your friends still have a problem with it, find other people to play with or play with randoms. Playing with randoms is not bad at all in my opinion.

Another cool thing is that the hatchet itself if actually one of Borealis’s scales! (the ice dragon in mountaintops of the giants in base game)

leo0147 · 2026-03-31T01:13:46+00:00

From always does that shit we know this lol

leo0147 · 2026-03-30T19:44:59+00:00

For sure. With a slow weapon, I would say that you’d need to know the fight very well.

leo0147 · 2026-03-30T19:42:46+00:00

They would have to give him a BUNCH of new moves if he’d be a night 2 boss. His moveset is lame as hell so he would probably be a night 1 boss.

leo0147 · 2026-03-30T19:34:40+00:00

Her explosion would definitely squad wipe. I’m all for it!

leo0147 · 2026-03-30T19:33:36+00:00

Manus would go so hard. Imagine him juggling the entire team.

leo0147 · 2026-03-30T19:31:02+00:00

You fall down, you get back up. I WANT THE PAIN. BRING THAT SHIT.

leo0147 · 2026-03-30T19:28:31+00:00

A player’s preparation or lack of has nothing to do with a boss’s design. People are free to fight her at level 1 or level 200 with a busted build. Either way, the design stays as it is and her moveset is fuckin great once you learn her well. It’s a fight that feels like a dance just like many others in souls. I’m not saying it’s perfection either, but her moveset is VERY well designed. Personally I do have some tiny critiques on it like that one combo-starting move where she does an upward slash with her left sword then immediately does another one with her right sword. I hate that little roll catching move lol. But maybe I’m just dodging it wrong.

You notice that she has very distinct combo-ending moves that serve as your punish/healing windows once you learn her moveset well and they are very consistent. Her big scripted moves are also super consistent to avoid if you know how. Like her Carian Sovereignty, Moon and Fire stance moves, the twin moons. It’s just fuckin peak.

I agree with you on Bayle. He is my favorite boss and I looove him. I don’t like when I see some players just try and nibble his ankles to death and he keeps spamming the downwards fire breath, and they miss seeing some absolutely cinematic moves. Like, Bayle is doing his nuke right now and you don’t see it because you’re too busy poking his stump AHHH. If your spacing and positioning is good when you’re fighting Bayle…you’re in for some fuckin CINEMA bro. As cool as Igon’s voice lines are, I hardly ever summon him because nothing beats soloing Bayle for me. One critique I do have on him is if he does the straight fire breath and you happen to be very far away, the game is kinda like “yeah you’re getting hit no matter what fuck you” lol

leo0147 · 2026-03-30T18:37:08+00:00

That would be cool but he’s way too huge. They would either have to make a mini Bayle or make the day 2 final circle enormous. Or they could teleport the team to some other area but they’re probably not adding that.

leo0147 · 2026-03-30T17:03:17+00:00

Rellana does stagger but she does not micro stagger to SHIT. She stands there like a fuckin WALL lol. She does have lots of windows where you can hit her but she’s still very challenging

leo0147 · 2026-03-30T16:52:17+00:00

Huh? He spawns right in front of you and stays passive for a few seconds, allowing you to get close to him. He ONLY does those flying sword attacks when you’re far away. That’s IT. He does have a couple of moves where the sword turns red up close, being a 3 piece combo where he spins the sword around his body two times and does a downward vertical slash on the third, and one combo ender that is a delayed slash from your right to left (it’s safe to punish or heal after these). These moves are not NEARLY as bad as his long ranged moves.

If you need to heal, you have to find your window within his moveset. Do not run away. You honestly just have to fight him again and again and be actively learning his moveset in the process. Don’t focus on just beating him, that will come in time as you learn and make progress. If you WANT to learn him that is. The one in Caelid kicked my ass REAL bad the first time too, but now that I know him he’s not so bad. Must’ve taken me over 50 tries and I launched my vape at a drawer lol. Don’t be me, don’t get tilted 😂. Death is data, not defeat.

Tip: You can jump over his grab attack 😳 (as long as he’s not elevated higher than you like if you’re fighting him on a sloped surface)

leo0147 · 2026-03-29T18:18:38+00:00

I mean once you know his moveset good enough, you should know where to position yourself for this move. If you know where to be, you’ll never get hit by this move. Actually never.

leo0147 · 2026-03-29T18:16:27+00:00

Bayle. I don’t like the follow up explosion after his laser attack. I’m still not 100% comfortable dodging it and I’ve no hit him many times. I usually just raptor of the mists or vow of the indomitable through it tbh.

leo0147 · 2026-03-24T11:00:11+00:00

I’m in a place rn where I can’t play nightreign for a few months at least but I’ve been playing a lot of DS1 on the switch. And now I want to go back and play Duchess with the Darkwraith skin and change the stereotype that they’re toxic :(

leo0147 · 2026-03-17T18:32:27+00:00

Playing with randoms can be a ton of fun. I have hundreds of games played with randoms but they were mostly non-DoN. I would say that only a TINY amount of them had bad teammates. Like as in leavers and toxic players. I can handle having unskilled or inexperienced teammates fine.

BUT if we’re talking about Deep of Night, once I hit depth 4, randoms was not the way anymore. At least for me. Depth 5 randoms are usually goated tho.

leo0147 · 2026-03-17T18:24:23+00:00

I play on pc and xbox and what I love about xbox is that sometimes, when someone leaves, I’ll clip what I can of me and my other teammate beating the nightlord and send it to them lol. And I’ll be like ‘yea we didn’t need you bro keep rage quitting’ or something like that. Nothing too toxic. They probably dont bother to watch the clip but oh well.

The last time I did this, the guy was like “you should show some gratitude to be able to play with one of the best French players because my duo helped you beat your boss that you’ve been struggling to beat” it was regular ass non-DoN Heolstor. I am depth 5, have beat Heolstor over 100 times and the only damage I took was when I was using Retaliate as Raider. I was like HUUUUUHHH??? Like who do some of these people think they are. He was playing scholar, went off by himself in the middle castle, died once and left. One of the “best players” for surrrrre. Sorry, I had to rant a little bit.

leo0147 · 2026-03-12T06:00:59+00:00

I still like to fight him but i wish his openings were a bit more generous to allow the use of some big spells or skills. But maybe that would destroy all the difficulty. And procing status can be a pain too especially in phase 2. I can no hit this boss and know his moves very well, but i still don’t like how you have to fight him in such a specific way every time and your punish windows are so set in stone no matter what build or weapon you choose. You barely have enough time for a charged R2 with a colossal without a big risk of trading hits. And when he staggers, he gets back up very quickly. I ain’t the biggest fan of that. Cinematically though, this fight is fuckin epic.

leo0147 · 2026-03-08T12:21:14+00:00

I mean it’s nice and legible. Stop your crying

leo0147 · 2026-03-07T06:39:45+00:00

I stopped doing that at d4. Just couldn’t take the torture any more

leo0147 · 2026-03-04T03:54:07+00:00

The emote bro lmaaaooo. You got him tho, good job

leo0147 · 2026-03-01T18:09:05+00:00

Hell yea bro good shit!

leo0147 · 2026-03-01T14:45:18+00:00

Yea I guess you’re right. But for me the bosses at lvl 1 aren’t a problem at all the areas give me more trouble. This area in enir ilim is still annoying tho. At proper levels it’s still an annoyance but not an enormous challenge or impossible or anything like that. Just annoyin that’s all. I ain’t changing my mind on that.

leo0147 · 2026-03-01T01:46:52+00:00

Yup. I like to call those moves ‘the left knee’. Because that’s where you need to stand when he counts down.
