I don't get why people say they HATE Augur besides being blind gimmick fight hater shitters
It's another take on the Unique Weapon bossfight, coming after Rykard's rendition of it from ER.
It takes more directly after Yhorm's vers. of this gimmick from dark souls 3, but adds 3 things: You're not stuck doing only the charged special attack, but have r1s as well, and you can recover FP with it.
Also it adds an anti-projectile gimmick to it, and allows you to get bigger damage when you "parry" the projectiles. Also the fight asks of the party to work together to help remove the orbs that due shitloads of damage and make the fight harder, and she has moves that control massive amounts of space and can block you in if you're not paying attention, which is really cool. You can barely outrun her tsunamis, so it's this cool "OH SHIT" moment, compared to the more overt beam attack OH SHIT.
I think it builds on the ideas from base augur, being a pretty gimmicky fight requiring you kill other enemies to hurt the main boss, so they trade that out and let YOU do it, but add moves that still ask you to destroy things on the boss itself this time, and add a parry mechanic to keep it engaging.
It's an evolution on the base design, while also being totally different, and it's a nice pace change from other nightlords and Everdarks- an excellent and VERY spectacular looking fight that mixes things up with familiar yet new layered gimmicks.
p. cool
I was most excited for Augur and Caligo's everdarks since they're already the easiest bosses, and Augur's ended up being going beyond any expectations I had prior for it.
