The 3 Putrid Crystal bosses in that tiny frick all cave in the Hideaway is the worst boss design in the game, but I've had no issues other than them, they were just in a tight space and 3 bosses spamming projectiles, and one with a long spear with scarlet rot.
yeah that was the most bullshite boss in FromSoft history. shite like that is why this game doesn't top DS1 or BB. Trying to cram too much content will lead to goofy design like that. "Let's take all the variants they've fought, give them all scarlet rot, and cram them into a tiny room" ffs

No doubt and for sure. I think BB is still supreme because of the insane focus and world design, ER is close though. Two great games. Honestly quite opposite games.
But this dumb fight was just stupid, and it wasn't even for a good item, it was a D list spell
Then you have one of the best spells (Stars of Ruin) just locked behind a quest and a key

The 3 of those same bosses in the haligtree were way more annoying to me. The spear ones are annoying as shite and there were two of them in that spot

I really only level up my strength and vigor so generally 95% of any item I get in this game I just sell. I'm at like 130 hours and have used a sword and shield from really early on. I get more excited for crafting stones or whatever they are called.

Tiche can apparently solo lots of lategame bosses
I tested her last night for fun. I found two of those big nasty crabs in the snow area and let her go by herself. She killed 1 and I only had to swing at the last one once. She is a tank fully upgraded but I do not see here taking down many late game bosses without help.

she doesnt. dont get me wrong, having her fully upgraded is a game changer for a fight, but she's not soloing any end game boss battles.

I didn't mean literally solo lol, I've just seen some videos where guys let her pull aggro and sneak in for a few hits/weapon arts while she does the heavy lifting for the majority of the fight. Seems like she's pretty much the only viable summon for Malenia bc of her dodging
Out of curiosity, I did just look up some strict solo vids to see what she can do, and she can completely solo Morgott, Draconic Sentinel, and Mohg (sewer). That's still really impressive.
I feel like I missed out a bit by not using any of the spirits for my first playthrough, but it does seem like a few of them are OP af. Wonder if From will implement them in later titles

Alecto absolutely destroys me. It’s the only Evergaol I’ve had an issue with.

that's a bad boss fight tbh. nothing well designed or memorable about it. A boss with that kind of attack power and mobility should not have that big a health pool. Basically begs you to cheese it with weapon arts

i felt missed out for slightly different reasons. i didnt use her until around midgame i think. but used her a lot after that. was wondering how much different it would be without her. but i didnt use her against malenia and i beat her so..meh. (i feel like summons on malenia are worse, they break up the rhythm and screw everything up).

for sure. people that are summoning 2 other players for malenia are hopeless. giving her all that HP boost and killing any sense of rhythm
The other night I changed my name to Let Me Solo and beat Malenia for a few people. On my last fight of the night, I had her down to about 10% HP and the host wanted to feel like he did something, so he threw some spell at her and it connected. She immediately Waterfowl'd him, killing him instantly. He had no chance since he was in the corner by the entrance. I just did the clap emote

Holy shite I just did it. Threw on the stupid snow witch hat, stamina charm and rocked that fricker with Adula’s moonblade. One more shot and I was dead. Now it’s time to level that damn summon

TBH it feels like a summmon mechanic put in for people who dont like waiting for their shitty netcode multiplayer system to work. I've spent countless time waiting for a yellow summon sign, and then some of those times "unable to connect" to the point where I'd just use Mimic tear and have a pretty decent summon 100% of the time if needed, esp at +10 it becomes tanky and I can configure it in anyway I need (spells, melee, etc)
I tried to get Tiche the other day and I got worked over trying to beat her as a Mage (even with Moonveil)

I tanked her to beat her. Put on Radana's armor and just kept rushing at her with the Bloodhound fang sword. I had a lot more range and was able to put that flip ash of war with the invisible dash forward. I would get close enough that the flip would not hit her with the purpose of the follow move being the one that scored. I gave myself more red bulls than I had blue gatorade because the special move did not take much FP. I tanked her that way.
Posted on 4/20/22 at 2:44 pm to Carson123987
Well, that was ridiculous. We ran through the Fire Giant like butter on the 3rd try. That Tiche is a bad arse summon and I could only level it to +6 
Posted on 4/20/22 at 7:37 pm to lsuguy84
She is bad to the bone for certain fights. Dragon fights not so much because you need to stay within a range to keep her material.

I started exploring Haligtree and found Loretta again. I pretty well have her figured and it won’t be too bad. Started checking out Farum Azula as well, so it’s pretty much end game time now. I’m going to try and get my stuff up to +10 from +6 and make the final push. This game is amazing. Pretty excited about NG+ already and I’m not even done

I found patches again for the 4th time. He gave me some stuff then I went back to Limgrave in the Cave and he was back there. Turned into a merchant again. Also found a weird item in the chair of the dragon manor. Not sure what it’s for….
Found and killed the big glenstone dragon in the large lake by the submerged town. Comet Azure him to deal in about 5 different hit and run attacks.
Completed the sorcerer apprentice quest tonight. My former teacher took over the academy and when I returned she transformed into some big head with a bunch of faces.
