It's amazing that this guy isn't the worst boss in the game.

why there are two dogs along a demon goat

>>718003082
they're his friends man, why are you judging them?

i miss when games had such good icons, box art, UI, etc

Gwyn no parry is the hardest boss of the game

I make this nigga's knees slap together I juke him so hard.

dark slop 1 is just not a very good game...

>>718002625 (OP)
What does he eat

>>718003993
Trying to cut Seath's tail as a mage is the hardest fucking shit I've ever done in a Fromsoft game

>>718002625 (OP)
Why did they make him so hot?

>>718003834
>>718004779
Please do not fuck the goat demon.

>>718003993
>pyromancy
You did not beat the run.

>>718004779
im a capricon so he's literally me

>>718004815
It's not my fault they made him so fuckable.

>>718004779
They know their audience

>>718002625 (OP)
>That boss fight where the first 5 seconds determines how the rest of the fight will go

>>718005275
too bad he appears in like one doujin and even there he's just a side character

I simply love ds1. I replayed it a few days ago. Did a wizard build. I also love how armour does something and is upgradable and rolling is not a requirement because blocking is viable. Best souls game along with demons souls.

FILTERED

>>718002625 (OP)
If only I had a giant but hole...

I got filtered by this fucker because the official guide forced you to fight him without tricks.
You could bomb his ass from the outside of the gate. That shit was easy.

>>718003779
In the base game, I agree. The first time I played it I assumed you just couldn't parry bosses so I was surprised when people kept calling him a pushover.

I never beat Kalameet. And I didn't beat the black dragon from DaS3 either. Just the one from DaS2 cuz it was way easier.

>>718010552
I cheesed it by standing on the thin ledge along the top and whittled the boss’ HP down while he couldn’t get in range to hit me lol. I didn’t feel even a little bad after putting up with his heckin doggos.

I wanna look like this guy bro life is so unfair :(

>>718012624
Dragon bosses in fromsoft are always bs. You're not fighting a boss, you're fighting the camera.

>>718003779
After trying to beat him no parry on NG+6 and failing at least 50+ times, becoming borderline insane from having to do the kiln run back over and over, I completely agree.
I think it has to do with his combo mixups. The insanely fast, tracking, and lingering hitbox of this quick sword stab he does as a combo ender variation. And the fact that unlike every other boss in the game he will absolutely not let you heal. He will interrupt his attacks recovery animation and fly across the entire arena to hit you if you dare try to heal. It's only safe when he's doing the grab. Brutal boss.

I have literally never used the parry skill in any of the souls games.

>>718016032
His paintings are total ass, the perspectives are all over the place. With practice, he could've gotten better, but there's a reason he didn't get into art school.

>>718003082
one race chuddie, the animal race

>>718012624
I usually skip the DLC when I replay Dark Souls. It kills the pacing for me.

>>718003682
Its funny how they use oscars elite knight armor everywhere in the promo material, just for him to die 5 seconds in.

>>718017438
I have terrible eyesight and this thumbnail made it look like a dead Palestinian kid. I need to get the fuck off this website.

>>718016032
I don't remember the window intersecting with the stairs. Wtf did Hitler think with that?

>>718003993
Seath is a gimmick boss, this is the equivalent of posting the big skeleton dude from DS3.

>>718017648
At least read less /pol/. It's bad for you

>>718017648
kek wtf

>>718012624
Kalameet isn't bad, cutting her tail however is complete aids. Actual 'what were they thinking' tier.

>>718012624
Me neither. I very much enjoyed the Artorias fight, though, and I somehow beat Manus after a few tries, out of sheer luck I'd assume.

>>718017732
But it's funny to troll boomers.

>>718012624
>Just the one from DaS2 cuz it was way easier.
i found it the hardest of the bunch, assuming you meant sinh
kalameet is really easy outside of the tail. midir is tanky but mostly pretty easy to land hits while rolling forward repeatedly, has the weakest attacks of the bunch

>>718016378
>guy knows how to paint
>wants to get better at painting and perspective so he goes to art school to learn
>NOOOO get out of here you dont belong here
they deserved it

>>718018383
Spoken like someone with only a high school diploma

>>718018383
He could have applied to other schools that would be easier to get in. You see people back then had standards. Something ancient to modern people.

>>718012624
I fought Kalameet expecting a big fight given what Fromsoft taught me to expect from optional DLC bosses only to kill it under a minute with soul spears. If you beat Sinh, Kalameet is fucking easy.

>>718007328
>not linking full

>>718018313
I can only assume people get wrecked by kalameet because they are letting him grab them. When he does that you get a debuff for the rest of the fight that makes you take 2x damage.

>>718018313
after 6 minutes of kalameet it becomes nearly impossible to get hit by him because he's so predictable, at that point cutting the tail is just tedious
manus is the boss that's actually fucking annoying

I unironcially had a harder time with the mini-bosses than I did with actual main bosses.

Even with the ring that lets you walk through water, I died more times to this fucker, than the other bosses combined

>>718017556
always thought that was the game implying you took his armour after your encounter with him

Of all the main bosses, the one I struggled with the most was 4 Kings. Since the abyss is all black, I always found it hard to gauge the distance of the ranged attack they do and always get hit by it

>>718018936
you should recognize either the artist by drawing style or the character by fashion and be able to look it up with either of those information

>>718020202
A followed by B. C sounds like some faggot shit.

>>718019843
To be fair the DLC ramps up difficulty by like 10

>>718020932
so do you know?

>>718021279
sure do, I just don't believe in spoonfeeding the newfags

>>718002625 (OP)
Very interesting going back and playing dark souls 1 after finishing elden ring. Despite the surface level similarities it has with recent fromsoft games it actually feels like it has more in common with king's field than ER. You can avoid like 90% of enemies attacks by just walking backwards. It's a lot more punishing in other ways though, regarding stuff like lack of fast travel and the curse status effect

>>718017674
>it's okay when ds1 does it

>>718002625 (OP)
No thanks, I'm a bottom.

Wait there are actual ds1 haters? That is rather odd to me.

>>718017674
Seath isn't even the gimmickiest boss in DS1
Literally the one gimmick is "get behind the boss and hit a thing once"
Ceaseless and Bed of Chaos are way more gimmicky and annoying, especially if you don't know their tricks

>>718022392
I can understand DS1 hate to an extent, it's janky in a lot of ways especially if you're coming off of later titles

>>718002625 (OP)
Stopping by to boast that I 1st tried this nigga and his lil puppies. That is all.

>>718018313
I can't even fight Kalameet because of his red-eye lazer beam fucking my ears up. so I just never fought him again after the first time cause I had to mute the game entirely

>>718003082
Demon monkeys taught them to domesticate dogs

>>718007328
he's a main guy in that one old homo doujin

>>718022392
DS1 passed the invisible 'too popular' threshold a while ago so /v/ turned on it.

>>718021585
>more in common with king's field than ER.
Yeah, that's what Demon's Souls was, and they followed that through with Dark Souls 1 and 2. I don't know if it was because of Miyazaki falling in love with BB's "aggression" or Dark Souls 3 popularity that decided to make it more and more action oriented.

>>718017556
I mean every box art armor is something you get later on
The elite knight set is in darkroot or something and thats your "canon" set or whatever

>Demon goat boss fight mind breaks the fanbase and they fall in love with it.
Weird how of all things Nightreign did this again after 10+ years.
>>718017556
The way you obtain poster boy set in souls games in general is pretty...anticlimactic/random when you think about it.
>Elite Knight set is obtained as a random loot in the dark-root in DS1.
>Faraam set is in a random hole in DS2.
>Firelink shrine set is obtained after beating Soul of Cinder in DS3, with no fanfare or anything.
>Raging wolf set is obtained in a random miss-able side quest in ER.

>>718016032
why is the door so tall? why are the windows warping? why is a window clipping into the stairs

>>718003993
>fighting Seath on easy mode
You did NOT by ANY stretch of the imagination beat the game.

>>718002625 (OP)
Oh my god did he piss me off so much back then.
Actually Dark Souls 1 really helped resolve my anger issues in hindsight. I grew a lot calmer after beating it.

>>718030056
Yes anon we know that now. Some people actually played the game blind instead of just following videos and wikis.

>>718032604
I'm sorry that I was more intelligent than you and found that out on my own by simply observing the arena.

>>718030056
so its just another gimmick boss?
that shits on the same level as Dragon God in Demon Souls

>>718030056
>try to run up stairs
>have bad luck and get stunlocked to death

>>718032725
When you first walked in the door and got rushed? Lying fucker. I figured out to use the stairs too but it took a few deaths.

>>718002625 (OP)
only if you agree to stay on the floor while i fight your dogs on the stairs

>>718033351
I didn't do it on my very first try but the amount of time you're given from the first attempt is more than enough to observe the arena and it's not like thinking stops until you go back in there

>>718016378
>>718018517
He was rejected because he wasn't a jew, it was probably his first exposure to judaism.

>>718033720
He served in WW1 so his first exposure to judaism was accidental backdraft from chlorine gas (invented by Fritz Haber, the "father of chemical warfare").

>>718003779
Yeah, the main issue is the tracking on his attacks makes it impossible to heal. There is never an opportunity.

>>718003993
I have never used a single magic/faith/hex/pyromancy spell in any of DS game

>>718029337
Its probably the cheapest fight in the game. Either you kill the dogs and win or they tag you and you die. Capra himself is hardly even a fight.

>>718034469
can hardly blame you
theyre honestly kinda boring. Sorcery you just walk backwards and hold your staff up like a retard. Pyromancy has your character clencing their hand for about seven minutes then soft pitch it fucking finally. sure hope it actually hits the fucker. then miracles is either incredibly situational or does little damage that isnt worth using because they nerfed the shit out of it

>>718035140
Theyre also probably the worst in DS1, since there's no mana bar. You're stuck to a hard limit of casts between bonfires, with the only way to stack more is to get them again in NG+.

>>718002625 (OP)
His ER counterpart was way easier despite having a more complicated moveset and an extra dog. Arena size makes a huge difference.

>>718036062
If you start as sorcerer you can get something like 120 soul arrows before Capra.

>>718003779
So true.
>Wear Havel armor set and proceed to bonk Gwyn to death

>>718018465
Why? Does a college degree give you brain damage or something where my post somehow doesn't make logical sense?

>>718033557
>I didn't do it on my very first try
Well there we go then.

Shut the fuck up bitch.

>>718004110
>cutting a tail in monster hunter with the boomerang
>scale

>>718002625 (OP)
I don't get the hype around this guy. I beat him on my first try. Using a shield trivializes the fight. Just keep your shield up, and don't get greedy with your attacks. It's that simple.

>>718018517
>had standards
>one bad day is all it takes

i dont care about ds1 pve

>>718036440
We weren't talking about doing it on the first try. You just jumped to me using a wiki because I used my brain and didn't struggle on the boss dozens of times.

>>718003779
4 kings on NG+ took me hours. much worse for me than Gwyn

>>718022392
It's unfinished and if you attack NPCs they're permanently aggoed no matter how many times you die.

>>718037135
Pretty sure you can pay the creepy laughing guy in the first bell tower to make NPCs non-hostile to you again.

>>718017648

>>718003993
>Didn't cut the tail
You lost the fight. You will never have a Moonlight Greatsword.

>>718036579
>Using a shield trivializes the fight
That's the problem, most people just don't use shields for whatever reason.

>>718020932
ages ago sure but his artstyle's been copied by so many that its just not that unique anymore

>>718033059
>Poise?
>Shield?

>>718010552
when I first came across this boss, I got jumped and panicked and ran up the stairs just to get cornered and I went "oh shit oh shit oh shit" and started hacking at them. I won on first try with a sliver of health left. dark souls blind run is very memorable.
also that stupid demon on the narrow tower bridge, the one with a ladder on one end, the stupid moron jumped down to his death. didnt even get to fight him on my first run.
first run keks are the best

>>718037750
Those sure are things that exist in the game and that some people may have invested in enough to help them have a slightly higher chance of winning against the capra demon.

>>718037003
They're pretty much a DPS check. They had always been a huge roadblock for me until a recent playthrough where I just went insanely high Str and just crushed them without any trouble.

>>718036169
The appeal of being a wizard is slinging spells. not just spamming your basic attack all game.

>>718037578
Most players have roll slop brain rot. You can thank DS3 for that.

>>718002625 (OP)
The first time you enter his boss room, the dogs immediately aggro you instead of waiting for the fog traversal animation to finish. This is why the first attempt always feels like a coin flip on whether you get cockblocked by the dogs and then promptly jumped on by Capra with his leap attack.

>>718037578
>they will never feel the satisfaction of blocking an attack that knocks you back 10 feet
It's a shame

>>718041397
DaS3 certainly helped reinforce the no shields mindset with shields being pretty bad, but BB was the real patient zero with only one shield in the game that was actually useless and the "engender passivity" line in the description that retards clung to as an anti shield slogan.

>>718042547
Then elden ring made shields the best they've ever been with guard counters but it was too late for the mentally impaired

>>718002625 (OP)
If you pick Knight as your starting class he's way easier because the dogs don't stunlock you and you can actually tank a few hits.

>>718003779
I have no idea how to parry and I clap his cheeks without effort.

>>718004815

>>718038080
easy to cheese since their aggro range is not the same so you can kite them individually

I unironically think the Capra Demon is an excellent boss fight. Most players end up getting through it by changing their build or creative problem solving, and that's a good thing.

So, was that fight a last minute addition?
>unlike every other boss he has no cut scene, isn't already visible from afar, has no proper space between you and him or any build up besides a piece of dialog by a merchant
>area around him is one of the more well known redesigned ones with DS2 tier texture tiling where even the old way to FLS is just hastly blocked up with a wall that has no hit detection and makes no sound when hit

Dark Saars Prepare to shit in the street edition is just a completely inferior Kingsfield 4.
Wait.... wait, Dark saars has one advantage. You get to play the worst pvp in human history

>>718048093
i unironically think you're a big dumb idiot
Capra doesn't require chaning builds or tactic. you realize it all comes down to the first 5 seconds of you entering the fog gate whether or not the dogs attack you at once or take their sweet time. what happend to you people? we used to lambaste dark souls 2 for these gank fights but here we are giving leeway because 'creative problem solving' is trial and error plunging attacks or getting lucky and have a regular boring fight

>>718048093
I might've bought this bait if you didn't resort to buzzwords.

>>718030868
got clammed

>>718049332
I unironically think the "ganks" in DS2 are good, too. Crowd control is something you should need to think about in your character build, not just how to beat one single guy at a time.

>>718003779
Gwyn and Manus were the only bosses I struggled with in my recent playthrough, they are way too fast

>>718049807
As a professional DS2 hater, the ganks are grossly exaggerated and not any worse than the other entries.

fuck

>>718036579
I get it if you're really unprepared walking into that boss fight, but yeah, I beat him on my first try too. I just kited him and the dogs around the arena and I didn't even have a shield.

>>718017909
This. I found that cutting the tail was actually harder than beating it, to the point that I tried my best NOT to kill it else I'd miss the tail drop.

>>718003993
Do SL1 Cave Man run next

>>718003779
Poisemaxxing also works wonders with a big stagger weapon, other than that i agree

>>718014502
isnt that the intended way of beating it?

>>718054413
ehhh probably not intended, but its the most commonly accept way of doing it. that and throwing poopoo over the walls
