I think Lady Butterfly took me 150 tries?

It was definitely on par with Cleric Beast, my first ever souls boss, and possibly more difficult than Nioh's Tachibana Muneshige

i think Jerma topped at like 220 lmao i believe it was a literal multi hour stream

the old drivers on their page takes me to drivers from 2021, I literally want the release before this one, which is crashing poo poo

If a boss takes me longer than an hour I end up backsliding and no amount of trying to press on will help. I just need to take a break and come back later

Who wants some waffles?

One strategy that I find really helpful for Souls bosses that give me a hard time is to just have a couple of attempts where I don't attack at all and just dodge/parry so I can figure out how the boss moves. Then forget everything because if I just attack him wildly without paying attention I can definitely finish him off fast enough.

150 tries with a short boss run is probably less tedious than, say, refighting Orphan of Kos as many times as I did before giving up. Plus it shows the resolve of a true shinobi. :colbert:

Bashing your head against a boss for two hours straight is very relaxing imo

The real pro strategy, and how I beat Owl the first time: Slam head against boss a bunch, get frustrated, go to bed. Wake up like three hours later, sit in bed for a while, then say to yourself “i’mma get that fucko” and ice him on your first try at 6 in the morning. :black101:

Go back to bed immensely pleased with yourself.

Happy to see me?
The best difficult bosses that took me forever were definitely Ornstein And Smough from DS1 and ISS from Sekiro.

Worst was whatever the gently caress that was at the end of No More Heroes 2 which was the absolute least fun I ever had with a game. It cannot be understated just how frustrating that whole thing was, especially the camera.

It's the most powerful technique in Souls games. If you don't have time to sleep, just taking a break long enough to post here about what bullshit Radagon is will also provide huge buffs.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


If I ever start getting frustrated with a boss I'll go look up a cheese guide, discover that I don't really have the items or setup to make that cheese necessary, then return to that boss at beat it on the next try, content with the knowledge that I could have exploited him if I really wanted.

I did do the triple Mogh shackle exploit on NG+ though because I just wanted to get through the game again, very fun to do.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
Being a boss that has to keep facing off against the same undying hero over and over sounds like fertile narrative soil. One amateur shows up, gets easily killed, but they show up unharmed the next day and are a little bit better at fighting. Repeat for months. Strong “you have to win every fight but I only have to win once” energy.

I feel like the “bastards” part of ACAB is general enough to be applicable to all cops without reservation. An individual officer could be a real asset to the community and may even be instrumental in preventing a zombie apocalypse, but by wearing the badge they are identifying with an armed gang and benefiting from the excessive authority and equipment that provides. Just because you’re a bastard doesn’t mean you’re Satan, it just means you’re a bastard.
