All the fun/broken stuff in the game has been nerfed in the latest patch. Anyone that was leaning on specific weapon arts like Royal Knights Resolve, Hoarfrost Stomp and Night-and-Flame-Stance will likely find their weapons not performing as they once did. Mimic Tear +10 was completely busted though. The spirit summons are a great equaliser without increasing boss health like player summons do, but it definitely wasn't intended for a spirit summon to be as powerful as Mimic Tear +10 was.

Designer1 Posted March 17, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) I think if I added up all the times I've died to bosses in all of the other soulsborne games put together, it still wouldn't be as many as the times I've died to Malekith. That **** has my number. Edited March 17, 2022 by Designer1 Spelt the words removed name wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimic Tear damage is down but they've definitely rejigged its ai to be smarter. I think it's a pretty good trade off tbh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimic Tear being super dumb was the only thing that stopped it beating the game while the player sat in a corner. If Mimic Tear now knows to spam weapon arts then that could mean it's more powerful now. Mimic Tear with a player using the Rivers of Blood sword might actually be hilarious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted March 20, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 20, 2022 Hmmm. Without sounding like a whiny so and so I think the last boss is broken at present. Two phases is fair enough, but the first phase being a fully fledged boss in his own right followed directly by one of the most frustrating fights in soulsborne history is a bit of a piss take tbh. The camera on Elden Beast is horrendous for melee builds. It makes it so difficult to work out which attacks you are being subjected to and couple that with the fact that you spend 90 percent of the fight chasing around the arena after the boss I'm finding it a chore to finish. It's tarnishing (hehe) my love of the game somewhat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope FromSoftware get it out of their system as hacking away at a bosses ankle, or a bosses stomach while you can't see the rest of it isn't epic. Plus it introduces so many camera issues as the lock on tries to track a boss that fills the screen. Give me a whole game full of hyper-difficult, turbo speed, weapon art spamming boss fights over another game with screen filling bosses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted March 20, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) Yay! And he's down! What.A.Game. Right. Now to decide whether to go ng+ or roll a new character. Either way I'll be playing the next playthrough alongside other games.

Chindie Posted March 21, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted March 21, 2022 Malenia is a **** grim boss. 2 phase insane damage combo machine who recovers health with every hit landed (whether blocked or not) and in the second phase gains a scarlet rot buff. Another one where it sometimes just feels like you're rolling the dice to see whether the game fancies letting you have a crack at beating it, or fancies throwing out 3 rapid fire combos. Not the best thing the game does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So to balance that up you'll probably take down Malekith (who took me a week) in one go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Picked this up at the weekend and had my first sesh yesterday. I think 'm going to love this game. Also a quick acknowledgement of Roderika and her Brummie accent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
