THE GREAT FILTER

>>714073105 (OP)
parry the big guy till his sword breaks

>>714073105 (OP)
beat them in one try

>>714073640
No, you didn't.

>>714073676
I did. lies of p is super easy.

This was one of the easiest bosses in the game.
Their rematch was cancer though.

>>714073105 (OP)
You had trouble with this boss?

>>714073761
>Their rematch was cancer though.
it's easier than the first one, retard

>>714073105 (OP)
Once you realize that stalker fights have braindead AI and you can just walk around them and backstab them over and over this fight becomes super easy
After that it's just a matter of learning the elder brothers moveset

>>714073883
>First fight
>Only one of them ever does anything at a time
>Second fight
>Same thing but now the secondary combatants are always taking potshots at you
It's literally the same fight but without the restriction on the AI that makes the first version a breeze.

Very easy with azure glaive blade but i kid you not the 2nd fight with them took me 5 straight hours to beat

>>714073883
Nuh uh double retard

I really dont think the in its failure of a gameplay system to warrant saying anything about it. Parrying such as the is instead thinking youre going to be needing a fully-upgraded Joaerm is being disingenuous

>>714073974
Hu? There's only one of them active at a time either way.

>>714073105 (OP)
They were okay. Completely forgot about this fight. I memory holed the whole game it was such a mediocre experience. Nice music though

>>714073976
How? Just backstab them. Kite and backstab and kite and backstab. Literally killed the rematch in one try

Black Rabbit Brotherhood is the best gank fight in all of Souls and Soulslikes

>>714073105 (OP)
No it isn't. Or at least it wasn't. The Archbishop dude was the filter. Used to be one of the hardest bosses in the game.

>>714073105 (OP)
Killed them second try with my wudong glaive
King of puppets on the other hand has taken me more than 30 tries and counting

>>714075931
Fuck no

>>714077731
>King of puppets on the other hand has taken me more than 30 tries and counting
In phase 1, dodging through his swings is better than parrying because he's got a lot of blind spots right under his nuts where you can burst down his health without being pushed backwards.
In phase 2, strafing sideways and dodging diagonally forwards avoids a lot of Romeo's moves very consistently. You have to parrygod his super attack but outside that it's actually pretty consistent to not get hit.

>>714073640
Is this... one of the Lies of P...?

>>714078091
Fuck yes. Black Rabbit Rematch is the best gank fight in the genre
>Each one of the rabbits has a different moveset that all complement each other
>Will prioritize the 1v1 if you allow them to, but if you position incorrectly and get too close to the others they will dogpile you
>Arena rewards kiting and being clever about terrain and obstacles to separate them
>All 3 of the starter rabbits have clear weaknesses that help you along if you're observant

>>714075931
kek

>lies of p comes out and people love it
>the name is stupid and I’m tired of rollslop, I’ll pass
>friend insists I should play it after the DLC comes out
>turns out it’s second only to DS1
>weighty combat, can’t spam roll, heavy focus on positioning, no memes like magic or backstab spam
>look online
>redditors think the combat is the weakest aspect since it’s “clunky” and not like DS3
Every fucking time

>>714079395
This game is better than 95% of the games in the genre including those made by FromSoftware themselves.

What's up with people like >>714078243
It's so common to see comments like this, just because you're bad at games or have a shit build doesn't mean everyone struggles at the same points.
On my first playthrough as a motivity chad I first tried the nameless puppet but it took me nine tries with the rapier on my second playthrough

I just beat the swamp boss and the game has been easy so far, at most I died twice to a boss. That being said, I am using summons.

I don't usually go out of my way to use them but they are placed right infront of the boss rooms like it wants me to use them and the game also gives you like 50+ of the items needed to summon them.

Anyways, do the bosses get harder after the swamp boss?

>>714080302
the real final boss because you can't summon for it

>>714073640
>Your springs are reacting

>>714080509
cool, looking forward to gettin gud

Just block lmao
I love that entire generations of people have been trained wrong by Souls as a joke

>>714080910
Also the third to last boss is a difficulty spike but you can summon for it so it's trivial if you want to

>>714080302
>That being said, I am using summons.

Maybe that's why it's so easy? Summons are literally just tanks that draw aggro so you never have to interact with the boss or risk dying; just mindlessly whale on it.
Not judging, but you can't use summons, and then complain about the game being too easy. They exist to help inexperienced players.

Is the gunblade Carlo's original weapon in life?
>DLC heavily implies that the Alchemists killed Carlo by luring him into the Anguished Guardian's arena and setting it loose
>The Gunblade's item description is from the perspective of an otherwise-unnamed Stalker called "Falcon" who died fighting the Guardian, and was fighting for truth and justice and shit
>Carlo is Geppetto's son and would have a natural affinity for autistically overly-complex weapons
There's no way that's a coincidence

>>714073105 (OP)
Why is there a fnaf

>>714081927
It's also the cover weapon for the DLC along with Cataclysm, Carlo was a motivity chad while the puppet ripper makes Romeo a technique cvckold

>>714073105 (OP)
This is among the best designed gank fight i've ever seen, all of them telegraph their moves, Elder always makes it obvious when he's going to charge at you, you can control the way other members of the gang spawn so you will never get overwhelmed. The game has fantastic group boss fights in general, all 3 of them.

Where is it implied?

>>714082601
nta but what#s wrong with the wulong glaive?
Doesn't seem all that much more powerful than other special weapons like the holy sword

>>714082569
Yep. They are all great.

>>714082660
The invitation luring Carlo to the ruins under the pretense of showcasing an amazing new discovery to Krat's elite, something the alchemists would never actually do
Bro got the classic bethesda dlc quest trigger at the beginning of the game and ran into something he wasn't leveled for

>>714082660
>Where is it implied?
In the fucking letter you get addressed at Carlo and inviting him to the fucking Anguished Guardian arena.
It's not even "implied" it's fucking written.

>>714083058
>The invitation luring Carlo to the ruins under the pretense of showcasing an amazing new discovery to Krat's elite, something the alchemists would never actually do
Oh neat, so this is what it was about.

Got the game during the steam sale and just beat the first boss carnival master guy.
My opening thoughts thus far are that the hitboxes in this game so far put From Software to fucking shame, is that not accurate? Everything feels really tight and precise in a good way. I chose the DEX starting weapon, so I found myself surprised that the strong tap attack backstep was actually helping me avoid hits instead of just being a meme. Maybe its just this boss though.
Either way it feels damn good so far.

>>714082601
>Saber handle
>Wrench head
Did I beat the game?

>>714083909
The hitboxes are pure sex, you can lowprofile attacks with rapier lunges. Also backstepping after the rapier heavy attack is a nice way to create space

>>714083058
>Bro got the classic bethesda dlc quest trigger at the beginning of the game and ran into something he wasn't leveled for
The "install Dragonborn DLC on a new character and get oneshotted by Miraak cultists in Whiterun when you're still level 5" experience

>>714073105 (OP)
Didn't seem that hard. Nameless Puppet was a bigger filter although there was nothing after it for it to filter.

>>714083909
Hitboxes naturally get a little weirder once you get into stuff with elemental effects and shockwaves and shit, but in general they're insanely consistent
You'll also not find shit like elden ring does where boss AI will throw out attacks at random just to fuck with you

>>714084276
A couple DLC bosses shit on nameless puppet

I beat Lies of P without using perfect guard or perfect parry. How weird am I?

>>714084407
True, I'm only talking main game.

>>714084412
I did the same on my 1st playthrough, just BONKing enemies into submission.
Considering how sprinting takes no stamina, you have a double dodge and blocking is busted I never felt like parrying

>>714084412

>>714084276
Laxasia was harder than Nameless Puppet

>>714084895
Playing sekiro like this seems like cock and ball torture
Because of the posture meter and how little health damage you do, deflecting is your primary method of killing enemies and so you really want them to be able to hit you whenever that wouldn't kill you
