let's see:
gwyndong 1 spams small homing magic missiles... so does gwyndong 2
gwyndong 1 has a fast cast/fast travel speed/high damage spell (s)he likes to cast in conjunction with the magic spam... so does gwyndong 2
gwyndong 1 likes to fire arrows... so does gwyndong 2
gwyndong 1 disappears soon after you get close and reappears far away soon after that... so does gwyndong 2
gwyndong 1 has a very limited melee moveset... so does gwyndong 2
of course, everything gwyndong 2 does is "upgraded" (mainly in damage and spamming) compared to gwyndong 1, like i already explained in my previous post, but i guess for fanboys "reading is teh hard"
the dynamic of the fight is essentially the same: dodge/run away from the magic for like a minute (very boring), whack him while he does literally nothing, then he disappears in the far corner, then you dodge some more and when he's static again whack away. literally the same exact shit as gwyndong 1, except his magic spam is turned up to 11 so it can kill you with ease if you don't dodge/run near-perfectly. to me, this shit is as boring and idiotic as it gets, and is easily on par with the bed of bullshit. it's not a challenging boss fight, at all, it's fucking annoying
no, none of his attacks are technically one-shots. i thought i was pretty clear about that... yup, just re-read what i wrote and i was really explicit about it. even gave some concrete examples detailing it. learn to read english in poland i guess, or potato no speako englais?
Aldrich was easy once I realized you could block the arrows with a shield. Pushes you back through the room, bracing behind the shield in a special animation - atleast I hadn't seen that before but I think most strong boss attacks does that if you have enough stability.
Edit: I mean I kinda assumed you wouldn't be able to block it since it was coming from above.
i tried blocking the arrows with shield (knight shield +3 or +5, can't remember what it was at the time) and it was just ignored. died instantly
Now now bro, I can see that you're upset about meanies insulting your precious DS3, but I don't think anyone in this thread complained about the overall design of Abyss Watchers. Even
praetor liked it overall, and he hates everything. We're simply disappointed that such a cool boss can be so easily trivialized by mashing R1 and stunlocking him for 1/3rd of his HP, not to speak of how powerful backstabs are against him.
fanboys gonna fanboy. even the smallest criticism is automatically equated with "it's utter shit" and they need to defend it to death. fanboys are the epitome of morons
If I go back and play DS1.. guaranteed I will get to at least Quelaag without dying once without even trying.. After her I probably get to Ornestein and Smough without dying again.
if i go play DaS1
now i could probably finish it without dying by playing with a wheel using my nipples and wielding a broken sword -10. goddamn you're the worst kind of fanboy
