For people having problems fighting big bosses u should always play unlocked vs. them. in bloodborne the game was actually designed around it

Wait, you can still just not everything. I can't even give her a tome

I'm not sure if it was a progression related thing and unrelated but I noticed that her dialogue didn't start changing/she didn't start twitching until I actually BOUGHT some hexes from her. You might be cool if you just teach them to her and never learn them which makes sense in the context of her "telling you the stories" when you learn miracles from her

this helps a lot w/ every dragon and big beast fight in ds3 too. the godzilla things are easier when you dont lock

its much easier to do than in ds1 cos your weapons track really well and you can roll in every direction instead of just 4. you could easily do a playthrough without locking on to anything and it wouldnt be any harder except in the case of fighting like, dogs.

i find wolnir really easy. ive never actually seen him summon anything because i always pwn him so fast. ive only fought him 3 times though and the first two times i got him down to like 2 hits left and got killed by the mist

me2. but its still a good fight. on the other hand after reflecting on it my least favoruite fight in the game is probably yorhm. cos its too easy once u figure it out. and if youre doing npc quests then its easier still

i dont think so, cos yuria needs you to have 5x undead curse, unless theres another way to get it.

btw, my idea for making this fight way harder is that you have to (spoilers BTW) get the sword and equip it in the middle of the fight every attempt. instead of just getting it and dying and then going back and doing it with the sword equipped from the start

if youre not joking he summons a colossal sword and his attacks are much faster, he summons pinwheels and casts wrath of god w/ the sword. the music also becomes super dire and its great but hes so easy to just kill

actually he leaves himself wide open during the phase shift that takes like a full minute and you can finish him off lol

Wolnir is my least favorite fight as like, a fight, because I don't think I've ever died to his actual moves but sometimes I get stuck on his arms and pushed into his chest and instant killed


He looks very badass and the music is sick though. I especially like how you cant see him at first and you pick up the Grave Warden tome and bam, there he is.

Oh the sword isn't really a second phase, he can pull that out any time during the fight

really feels like seig and patches are bugged because they sometimes just dont show up when theyre supposed to lol. seig failed to show up at a certain spot and give me emit force for the second time when ive hit all his story spots. patches also never showed up when i followed a line for that just to see the content and then he was magically at firelink. its pissin me off

you're supposed to meet him on the way to the fingers, or near the firekeeper soul at firelink but he just doesnt show up for either sometimes and then just warps to firelink after you kill abyss watchers

He locked you in the tower but you went out the other way so you never saw him. This is happening to a lot of people
