Whenever I fight a new From boss, or any action game boss really, I always refrain from attacking for 5 or 10 minutes while maintaining distance.
Gives me time to observe most of the boss' attack patterns and learn when and how to launch counterattacks.
It isn't foolproof of course, phase transitions that I fail to notice and certain AI still knock me on my ass occasionally, but I found that this approach works for me quite well
Recently however, I've watched some streamers play Elden ring and was mortified to find that most of them just blindly bumrush the boss over and over again until they form the requisite muscle memory to power through.

Am I really the outlier here or did I just coincidentally stumble upon several grug-brain players in a row?
How do you guys learn bossfights?
