>>713551682 (OP)
why do people call him a pushover? If you dont parry hes literally harder than kalameet, artorias, ornstein & smough...
>very fast greatsword swipes, combos that cant be medium rolled
>much harder to heal in than almost any boss
Did 90% of players just get spoilered about him being parriable and decide to abuse something they probably wouldnt have figured out otherwise?

Probably the first boss in the series who does an input-read reaction animation to your healing faster than you can actually heal, it's fucked up

I think those niggas were disingenuous back then and the feeling stuck. Everyone's first run through their first Dark Souls is pants-shitting tense. A sizeable portion of people said the games were not that hard and yet, continue the tradition of bitching about how the newest game is bullshit and "hard for the sake of hard". Basically: Niggas lie on the internet lmao

Gwyn d'Sunlight a boss that forces you to choose a solid strategy. You can parry him, you can also go Iron Flesh/Flash Sweat and beat him down like you're the bigger boss in the room. The one thing you cant do is simply outplay Gwyn, so he goes from impossible to pushover by design

kalameet is awesome but also very easy
The only actually hard thing about kalameet is cutting his tail, which is at least 5 times harder than just slashing him to death

Dodge to the left, dodge to the right
Then you walk away
Then he slams the tail, and then you HIT the tail

>can't outplay him
I didn't know of any tricks to beat him. Probably second hardest boss in the game with an even worse runback than Smough/Ornstein.
I didn't use summons and my build was an absolute mess.
I mainly managed to beat him by abusing a small elevation in his room which makes him miss some attacks.
Probably looked very similar to this

I just for the first time saw a run using the parry trick.
Looks gay as fuck. Whoever plays like this shouldn't play souls games at all.

Why is it plin plin plon when it's clearly three different notes? It should be plin plan plon or something like that.

He's hard but not tougher than kalameet
honestly its the runback after dying that's the most frustrating thing about him

Not quite that extreme but I almost despaired on Gaping but thought O&S were pretty easy to figure out
It was mostly due to nervously keeping a middle distance, which is a horrible matchup for Gaping and he just does the slam and
charge all day
And I was a greatshieldfag so I sucked at rolling

It was "hard" if you didn't have the shortcut and it has some terrible hitboxes
I was actually thankful for the npc summons lol

All bosses in ds1 suck, especially compared to the spectacle of elden ring and ds3 bosses
