[spoiler]okay dragonslayer armour is an objectively bad boss

first it tricks you into thinking you're gonna fight one of the awesome flying abominations, and then after you realize what you're really fighting is much more standard and boring, they have the abominations spew shit at you from out of the boss arena while you fight large_man_in_armor.boss. ugh.

twin princes were cool though[/spoiler]
[spoiler]yeah dragonslayer armour is nothing special. Cool music though.

Also I just got "married." [/spoiler]

[spoiler]finally beat nameless meme!! he was a little harder than fume knight for me. absolutely not harder than orphan. though i'm sure they'll top it in the upcoming dlc

now to just go back through parts of areas i missed and then on to the final boss (+ final area if there is one)[/spoiler]

Commander Fuckass

then farmed for Embers by white soapstoning the entrance to his room  bassir;

i actually really hate how many mimics there are in this game. like it just makes you stock up on undead hunter charms because fighting them isn't any fun. i think they slightly outnumber normal chests, what the fuck?? one of the first chests you can find in the game is a fucking mimic. this is the one aspect of the game that panders to the "wow its so hard but this is dark souls XDDD" crowd and it's awful

Samus Aran

tho granted, if you're playing online, there is a 90% chance you will see a player sign warning you that it's a mimic

for that reason i was never fooled by a single one

TooB

also, looking at it's chain.

if it's curled and mostly pointing at the chest, its normal.

if the chain is more straight, and pointing more towards you, it's a mimic

Nyerp

uhhh i don't hate them because i keep getting fooled by them (happened maybe once), i hate them because having so many of them all throughout the game greatly devalues the "surprise" and uniqueness of finding a mimic. mimics are meant to catch you off guard and make you become cautious about rushing to open chests, but when that happens the first time you see a chest, it just makes you assume every single chest you see is a mimic (which is almost true in this game). it instantly reduces the feeling of "ooh, i hope that isn't a mimic" to "that's probably a mimic. i was right. time to kill this mimic."

famy

i turned into a dragon i dont think i like this

also rapport is so cheap but i love it

famy

okay I beat it and the last boss was good but easy but I'm pretty sure I was overleveled lol

sir alonne was imo the best (also most frustrating) boss in the series and compared to him the final boss wasn't much trouble

TooB

That's interesting because I found sir alonne to be much easier than the final boss of 3.

famy

I was at level 110 lol so that might be why this was easy

Sir alone wasn't so bad the first time but he kicked my ass on ng+1 and that fight stuck with me

oh I see. I was lvl 99 at the end.

Either way, I absolutely loved the last fight, and alonne as well.

i was playing as a pyromancer with balanced strength and intelligence through most of them game but i respec'd into only intelligence for pyromancies and enough strength for the moonlight greatsword and put the rest into vigor, my health was quite a bit over halfway across the screen lol. i didnt have much trouble after that

True, there are way too many.

Well, time to look it up.

Edit: oh. It's a boss weapon....
