Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Might I ask for which boss this applied to you? I only had this for optional bosses for which I was underleveled and never for required bosses.

I enjoyed getting the shit beaten out of me when fighting the Black Gargoyle in Caelid. I never struggled like that with the required bosses, except a bit for the final boss, which I enjoyed.

Maliketh. First phase I can handle but his second phase can eat my whole ass. I stopped playing after 40 or so attempts. I like a challenge. I've beaten every Soulsborne game aside Demon and Sekiro. But there is a point where my frustration overrides the fun I'm having.

Maliketh was pretty easy for me, but everyone struggles at different points.

If your still interested there is an item in Farum Azula (same place as Maliketh), that helps with the fight: Blasphemous Claw.
Maliketh has also pretty low Stance; heavy attacks and/or weapon arts can easily stance break him for a critical attack.

Or you could cheese him with Moghwyn‘s Sacred Spear and maybe the Mimic Tear, but that is probably overkill.

I can't recall a boss that can't be dealt with just being overleveled? Maybe Malenia? But she's human sized not a giant boss. Yeah the final boss kinda sux though but hey it's the end of the game already might as well power through it.

Hmm maybe the DLC, some of those are damn nasty fuckers.
