Demon's Souls

dragon god was...interesting but it was kind of anticlimactic since 2-3 was just a hallway and the boss fight

[spoiler]i still managed to die twice on him [/spoiler]

yeah, it was pretty disappointing that he was essentially just a gimmick boss....
track down the catapult, use it, you win!

looked cool though i suppose

[Thyme]

still to this day don't know how to reliably avoid his punches tho tbh

[Samus Aran]

almost every final boss in every world is just "a hallway and then the boss"

3-3 you climb up some stairs from the maneater bridge and then you're at the boss, 4-3 you leave the boss room from the old hero literally into the 4-3 boss fight immediately, 5-3 you walk through a short hallway and then the """""boss""""""

(btw all of these are gimmick bosses too, just all very different types of gimmicks)

1-4 is the exception, as while the distance from 1-3 archstone to 1-4 boss is pretty short, there's a ton of enemies and a pretty major stage hazard/miniboss

guess who accidentally let ostrava die in 1-3!!!! FUCK

at least i killed penetrator in one try but it was a hollow victory

[Kalahari Inkantation]

did you get the mausoleum key from him at least

you'll miss out on a few words of late-game exposition and pure clearstone, which sucks, but the key is by far the most important of his rewards

[Nyerp]

ya i got the key

[Samus Aran]

when you fight the guy that the mausoleum key unlocks, if you actually kill him instead of just taking off the required half of his health, you get a trophy. godspeed nyerp

[Kalahari Inkantation]

yeah good luck with that fight should you choose to kill him lol

[Nyerp]

well im probably not gonna try that until right before the final boss lol

[Nyerp]

well im probably not gonna try that until right before the final boss lol

speaking of which, is the boss of 1-4 the final boss or am i free to do shit afterwards?

He's "supposed to be" the final boss, but I don't think the game ends after fighting him. I think if you're able to fight him, but still haven't beat other bosses, then the game goes on.

I can't fully remmeber though. I might say look it up to be sure.

[Samus Aran]

1-4 is not the final boss by any means. You can fight him at any point after you've killed another area's last boss (as 1-3 is locked until you do so). Cinematically, he is best saved for last because he's story-important and stuff. That's all. Also he can be pretty fucking hard.

The game progresses to its finale after you've killed every boss demon. At that point, a new area in the Nexus becomes available, and you can end the game at your convenience whenever you choose. You can do as much as you want before ending the game.

[Nyerp]

[Kalahari Inkantation]
