This is from the context of a greatsword and shield build. I didn't use magic, summons, incantations, grease, and spirit bell during any of these fights. I tried going off not just the boss mechanics, but the design and lore tied to the bosses as well.

The DLC was fantastic!

You should do the 2 liter soda chug challenge

[@user-ox3yq9tb8y]

That would be so cool if he did that

[@brunodecarvalho2221]

The Tree Sentinels were there to guard the Shaman Village, Marika's home.

[@ogpurpledaddy]

Yee, after the tier list I got around to Vaati's vid about the shaman village. I just wish they were built different is all. 👍

[@seanhilbert3129]

Ghostflame Dragon is around a 6 or 7 shot with the Inseparable sword / sacred blade skill with buffs applied. They get and E

[@Guanjyn]

Valid list although maybe furnace golem a little too high. He takes way too long and if you get tired and make a mistake can set you back to 0 and the framerate with some of them will delay your jump inputs.

[@kentbrown4874]

imo messmer, easily the best dlc boss, favorite in the game

[@michaeljohnston8891]

Only thing I’d really change about Radahn is making Miquella’s hair and holy attacks a little more transparent. His attacks are 100% learnable, I just think the added visual clutter makes it harder to see what he’s doing, which belies the fact that a good chunk of his attacks are the same as in phase 1, just requiring better roll discipline. I could also see them changing his 1-2 cross slash by either slowing it down or making it so he only performs it after certain attacks. It’s dodgeable, your timing just has to be nearly frame-perfect, so I think knowing it’s coming rather than it being something he can whip out whenever would be a fair cue to the player that “hey, your next dodge better be crispy or you’ll get tagged”. Other than that, I think it’s the best fight in the game

[@ogpurpledaddy]

Definitely agree about the moves being 100% learnable. After I finished, I spent the past like 3-4 days helping people with their kill and it just felt good. I even got around to understanding his retaliation attacks when swapping targets.

[@poipoi4711]

Dustin poirier is that you?

[@ogpurpledaddy]

lol.

[@Al-ji4gd]

Don't like Radahn or Bayle, tbh. Midra and Messmer the two best for me.

[@OnSchoolyard]

Gaius in a?! 😂

[@Hemestal]

Idk, I didn't like Romina at all, she is easy and only has like 2 actually dangerous moves but i HATE it when i have to lower my settings to nothing so I can actually see the butterflies she uses in phase 2. If I could pan my camera from above then this wouldn't be an issue, but idk how many times i got hit by the stupid butterflies just because I can't physically tell where they are on my screen. Radahn, same issue on phase two, if you are like me, and you like to play with everything maxed out, get ready to turn special effects off because you can't see JACK when big boy towers over you and MIquellas blindingly bright umbrella of hair is obstructing your vision. The arena is also an irregular terrain so your camera pans up and down as you sidestep making things just a bit more annoying.

[@ogpurpledaddy]

I totally get the visual pollution gripe with Radahn. If I remember correctly with Romina, I booked it whenever the butterflies came out and gave her space until they went away. I heard for some she gave them trouble, I may have just gotten super lucky with mine and that's why it's skewed in such a way.

[@ogpurpledaddy]

DLC Good. Thoughts on the rankings?

[@gibbytorbson5459]

I agree with everything, but If this was my list I would swap Mesmer and Bayle

[@best_mate456]

I personally just hate Radahn second phase. Messmer should be the BEST to most people opinion

[@jamx928]
