They're more or less finished, they're just "having trouble" dodging Miquella's grab attack.

Finally got the bastard, after more than 30 tries. No other boss in any Souls game gave me so much trouble. Two things that helped a lot:
- Verdigiris Greatshield +10 with 90 stability
- Lord's Divine Fortification, bringing holy resistance up from 65% to 85% (enough time to cast it before he does his big AoE attack).

I was able to avoid Antspur rapier with rot and bleed, but still, didn't like this fight at all. I went back to help people with Messmer instead in co-op, never touching this final fight again.

Now - sadness. The DLC made me very happy for those last 50 days. It only reminded me how much From shits on other devs right now, in terms out creativity, art, level design, difficulty, boss design, build variety, enemy variety and other things.

As for me, I parried him and then stabbed him with a misericorde. Glad you made it, though.

It's an interesting world you live in, where using a shield and a spell is cheesing :)

I just killed Midra which shows without doubt that parry is something FromSoft thinks is the "intended" way to deal with some bosses or enemies:



This boss vindicates everything i said about this. He uses those very same slow attacks i suggested were a clear tell tale sign you were meant to parry them (Crucible Knights, Commander Niall, Bell Bearing Hunters and so forth, as well as bosses like Morgott etc), and then there's that whole gimmick with the untouchables which can only be killed with parry (and you get a note in the game that tells you this), which sets your mind on parry before you even fight the boss.

The true horror of Elden Ring is the main character being 5'9.

"I cheesed the last boss so I didn't have to learn him"
"From are the best devs ever!"

Pick one.
Sometimes I can unironically agree with your arguments, but you need to know that saying that "using a shield and a spell" is "cheesing a boss" makes you sound stupid.
The only stupid people are the ones taking this thread seriously. There's no point trying to discuss the merits of Elden ring in a thread with people who will unironically defend From's camera or hit boxes.

I guess we're saying the same thing, uh?
Sure are.

unironically defend From's camera or hit boxes.
Saying something can be improved is one thing, being a little bitch about it is another.
15 fucking years of broken GARBAGE and you think it can be improved? From won't improve shit and you know it and I know it. And their retarded fanboys will defend it no matter what. Did you notice the camera zooms out for some fights in previous games but sticks it right up the ballsack of every dragon?

Elden ring is literally one of the worst games ever made mechanically. Dark souls 3 looks pretty spiffy in comparison at this point and that game is an abortion all of it's own.

Considering how easy is to code a 3rd person camera and your expertise in the matter you should start a company doing just that. Somehow nobody gets it quite right so you'll have a solid market. Or at the very least sell just your expertise to all these incompetend lazy fucks that call themselves devs.

Watching streamers suffer while fighting the final boss is actually a decent source of entertainment:

You must really love Elden Ring huh? I can't imagine playing this shit for 100 hours and then setting foot in the DLC and be all floored and brought to tears by the magic of more boring shit.
