he truly requires practice. when you finally have him down to a science and know what moves hes gonna use and how to get around them, its some good rear end gamer feels.

the last souls boss that made me feel that way was the false king

i'm considering starting a new run while taking breaks to throw myself at ludwig. i haven't really tried since a 3 or 4 attempts over the weekend. i might do another STR / ARC build, but this time dip into the DLC to get one of the new weapons early

also, without spoiling too much, the DLC changes 1 or 2 things in the base game, right?

it introduces NPCs that you can summon for help throughout the world, and they use the new weapons. theres also a new faction you can join that rewards co-oping bosses

you get this stuff for free too, no dlc needed. what youre actually buying is the new area and bosses+gear

I beat him btw. I knocked off like 60% of his health with a series of straight flawless parties and was starting to lose my mind a little early but I had to keep it under control until the W.

Seems like the only wep I missed was rakuyo, and this may actually be as hard as kos.

wait what the fuck??

I finally killed ludwig, I like that his first form is super scary and beastly as poo poo and then he turns into a goofy horse englishman that goes down like a punk (at least compared to the first phase)

the feeling you get from killing a boss by the skin of your teeth for the first time is a technique that fromsoft has perfected. the dizzying highs, the depressing lows, this is gaming at its finest

it gets challenging after the shadows .. the shadows themselves can be pretty hard too cos you dont do much visceral damage.

I'm proud of this shadow battle then.

had an epic rom fight as well, skip to the final phase if you must but definitely check out how it ends.

living failures were sort of cool, even if they were super easy. maria seems challenging. her phase 1 is no prob but phase 2 is nasty. i can dodge no problem, but have a hard time reconnecting to make damage. sort of like gehrman's attack set.

I died more on living failures than Maria because it took me like 4 deaths to figure out how to dodge the failures super attack

i'll say one thing, keep the camera locked on to his body rather than his head so the camera doesnt gently caress up as much
