I used the Axe, which was probably why it took me so long to beat him.

I cannot always stun him. his legs have separate health points .. so like, attack one leg until he falls over, then move onto another leg until hje does it again, and so on. regarding his hit box or whatever ... some of his moves do slight splash damage cos of the electric that shoots from him.

ohhh.. hitbox means something different to what i thought. well, hes fast, so you take a risk by using a big weapon, even though its easier to stun him with one. with a faster weapon you can land more hits, but you dont have as much hit stun.

No I think I was wrong. I thought Hitbox=part on his body where your attack connects but evidently it's the reverse? In either case I also had trouble avoiding his swipes too, I tried to roll though 'em usually but sometimes it would be fine and other times he would hit me and gently caress me up. I've been using that word incorrectly for years

Hitbox and Hurtbox can be used interchangeably I think.

Did they change something about miclash? He's always been a joke for me and phase 1 still is but in phase 2 he one shots me every time. Like I can't even hit him once, he just chain casts that splash/homing spell and I fall over and die even with all arcane resist stuff on

Did the tentacle always trigger a parry? I don't remember that happening before Edit also I just beat Maria and while that was incredibly tense she is way too easy to parry

I don't remember that happening before augur parrying is new. started my sl4 guy yesterday and beat bloodstarved beast. this is really fun so far and I bet the challenge is going to ramp up when I get to the forest. also got my rear end kicked by the defiled watchdog on my chalice dungeon character, that dog is tough.

If you hit amygdala's arms enough they will be crippled for a bit too

It at least triggers a different stun animation, like if you hit the elbow that supports her on that one swipe attack she will slip off of it and be open a bit longer

I still cant kill defiled amygdaloid though Amygdala is, imo, easier than watchdog by a mile. The general strategy is that you bait out the jump attack. There's a video of it somewhere if you really want the help. Honestly the most difficult part of her is getting into the room without instantly dying. That happened three times in a row. I'd go through the fog door and get plastered.

I'm getting to phase 3 now. I switched to ludwigs because it was easier to hit the arms with but I forgot it still had some old rear end gems in it. I put my fancy ones in and now I'm wrecking him

Micolash has owned me with A Call Beyond more times than I care to admit, mostly on NG+ I really hate that boss. It seems like it's the easy joke fight so when I die to it I feel insulted

I really feel like Maria should've been a super difficult boss but between how easy she is to parry and the insane amount of time I spent learning to fight Chikage hunter it felt relatively easy and I got her on my second attempt

It varies with me play to play. Often times I do best on my first playthrough because I'm more methodical (more souls up to that point, more cautious on every fight etc) but on later times I'm running from boss to boss and playing sloppy because I'm overestimating my ability.

For me it's Ebrietas. I had such a terrible time fighting her in my first playthrough I get super nervous about considering clearing out Upper Cathedral. It's weird actually because in a subsequent playthrough I beat her on the first try while hammered.
