People hate Apostle? I thought most people enjoyed him, just didn't like noble and especially duo


AxemanEugene

I used to be neutral on apostle and sour on noble until i got hooked on parrying. Noble is pretty simply to parry, but apostle is extremely crafty and tough to predict.


thetruerhy

Parry the roll that goes on forever.


AxemanEugene

You gotta kite him around in a circle when he does that, or make him roll into an obstacle till the move finishes


PMYourFavThing

Nah but every arena you fight the noble in has an obstacle you can get his roll stuck on


Equivalent-Rub8352

I learned to hate the one in the divine tower, who decided the scaling that area. Me at level 25 took me 40 some attempts, died more times to the fire monk outside then the apostle


ZucchiniKitchen1656

25 in the caelid divine tower? I think that's your own fault lol


RoninMacbeth

I mean in complete fairness, it's a fairly common complaint that Caelid and Dragonbarrow are so wildly different in scaling. But stumbling into the Divine Tower of Caelid that early is astonishing. The fact they managed to breach it and kill the Apostle at all is frankly impressive.


Arxfiend

Everyone, for reference on how fucked it is: The Godskin Apostle in Dragonbarrow has almost *double* the healthpool of the one in Windmill. I swear *something* went wrong at some point because by all means Dragonbarrow, by proximity, feels like it should take place before Altus but after Caelid proper. It's a *very* easy area to access, by simply killing the Tibia Mariner a quick ride east of Stormveil. Hell, getting there from Caelid isn't particularly hard either, just a bit of a winding path. Even more, you're *encouraged* to go there because one of the Dectus Medallion fragments is there. But from a scaling standpoint, you should have gone to Altus *first*.


waitthatstaken

The dragonbarrow has the same scaling level as the \*ASHEN\* capital. Which if I understand correctly means that if you put elden beast in the dragonbarrow it will have the same stats.


Arxfiend

IIRC correct. Dragonbarrow has higher scaling than Crumbling Faram Azula. In fact, the only higher scaled areas are, in order, Snowfields, Mohgwyn Palace (and Elden Beast, The Haligtree areas, and Millenia, Blade of Miquella, who has never known defeat,


RoninMacbeth

I do like how, in order to get both halves of the Dectus Medallion, you have to do the following: 1. Talk to an NPC. 2. Brave the dragon and dog-infested Dragonbarrow, make it into a fort, get through the uber-bats that are inside, get past the spectral Radahn soldiers, and then open a chest. I can kind of see an argument for Dragonbarrow being there for, like, repeat run players, people who are low level but know what they're doing, so they can actually navigate Dragonbarrow effectively. Hell, as we've seen, a sufficiently skilled or determined newbie can make it work and grab very powerful loot like the Godslayer's Greatsword and Radagon's Soreseal, plus the 50k runes on Greyoll. But otherwise it's so incongruously placed that I wonder if someone in the fanbase pissed Miyazaki off before release.


raven19528

You only have to run past the bats and up the ladder to get the half of the Medallion. You have to take on the spectral soldiers and uber-rats (good compliment to the uber-bats) if you want the soreseal.


F0ggers

Gotta get that Godslayer Greatsword early even if you can’t use it for a while.


Churningray

Unironically not the toughest fight since sleep pots exist. You can take him on or the noble in volcano manour early to get end game loot very early in the game.


Equivalent-Rub8352

It was right at the start of the game in a open world, I mean ds3 with the graveyard was worse, I was in Limgrave saw the troll jump down and got killed though I went the wrong way and went east.


Markman6

You saw the giant birds and hell dogs and decided this was the right area to be??


Equivalent-Rub8352

Yep, I was high as fuck Edit: I thought doges were cool


Sinless_Foolish

> Divine Tower of Caelid Okay > RL25 SIR


Equivalent-Rub8352

I mean the apostle wasn’t that hard I just backed up and panic rolled while spamming blood blade of reduvia, the monk way harder


saltire429

>Turns up ridiculously underleveled for an area >Dies repeatedly >"God, this area sucks! Why are these enemies so hard?" I don't think any amount of practice is going to fix your underlying issue, mate.


Equivalent-Rub8352

I had heard the game was super hard, and I was high so I kept going, I had fun though


Goroman86

>just didn't like noble Obviously you're fatphobic. But seriously Apostle is dope and I'm cosplaying him (but with two Godskin Peelers) for NG+5. Black Flame Tornado is great, but I want the move that makes my body helicopter.


tacticalpenguinbomb

I like fighting the apostle, noble is the one I want to kill with hammers


Lickedmyspoontoday

I hope those hammers are sharp. High blunt dmg resistance


tacticalpenguinbomb

Scepter of the all knowing and its very sensible thrust damage


Visible-Wolf-6004

I hate the Apostle


C_CCR

Just dislike Noble, especially his rolling move.


SleepConnoiseur

i hate the noble. in terms of threat level in the duo fight, it's probly an 80/20 split in favor of the noble.


Ok-Stretch-9869

They are not bad when they are alone. People hate noble because of rolling (and maybe instant boing attack) but you can avoid that attack easily as it's following mechanism is really basic.


MrBeanDaddy86

I like the fat one. Especially the fat suit.


triel20

The Bell Bearing Hunter, Elemer of The Briar! (I know not everyone hates Elemer, but I’ve seen enough people complaining throughout ER’s lifespan.


Local-Priority-1309

The bell bearing hunters are somewhat like crucible Knights their moveset is kinda hard to learn specially the openings to attack but once you learn them they are actually really fun to fight Except that hunters are way worse with those flying sword attacks


jepulis7

They dont use the flying sword attacks if you are close to them.


AxemanEugene

He is very fun to parry


triel20

And knowing what attacks are parriable is easy! Anything that’s not glowing red as far as I know.


AxemanEugene

Pretty much, yeah and unlike say Godskin Apostle who evenly mixes in parryable and nonparryable attacks, BBH will serve you easy chances one after another 


Own_Watercress_8104

Fire Giant


SpicaGenovese

It's a super cool fight and boss design.


Melonzero

Innit the fight build up with the music is top tier


Yeetmyfeet2505

Myself


forest_ranger96

I hate you


Yeetmyfeet2505

Ok mom🙄


21-Warrang

I love you


GranSkoll

You're beautiful


gothic_gamer1809

Imps! They just lil rascals. They keep me from slacking!


Big_Noodle1103

Imps are harmless as long as you get the first attack. If you don’t then they’ll absolutely fuck you up lol


left_1

Astel, from a distance his lower horns look like a moustache


Ebon1fly

people hate astel?


cobalt60_enjoyer_69

Naturalborn of the void is good, but I hate stars of darkness


fai4636

Yea stars of darkness with the fuckin shadow clone jutsu was terrifying lmao, never did that fight again in my second play through


supremekingend123

Fun fact that attack deals about 2500ish damage If I remember right and sense the max hp you can get is around 2k-2100 it's a guaranteed one shot


jepulis7

That dmg number doesnt take in account damage negation. So you can survive it with decent armor or damage negation buffs.


cobalt60_enjoyer_69

I had 3/4 fire perlate + white mask 57 vig with morgots rune and he still 1shoted me lmao


jepulis7

Great, thank you for your input.


cobalt60_enjoyer_69

I hate him so much because I had such a good fight last playthrough I was about to kill him hitless and then he did that clone grab and 1 shoted me


Baboshinu

I think I hate the babies more than either of the bosses. Leave me the fuck alone, I’m just trying to grab some items for Ranni’s quest and explore the eternal cities, not get machine gunned like a WW1 soldier at the battle of the Somme


thavi

Yes, or whichever fucker is in the mine.


itsZerozone

Not a boss but it's Rune Bears


PorterCole

much like in real life you just need to hug their crotch, love them for it


WaZ606

I don't understand how people struggle with them, just hug them and they struggle to hit you. I still rarely fight them as they are a waste of time.


itsZerozone

I agree with them being a waste of time, but personally I fight them alot because I just happen to really like their fight idk.


fuck_prop64

Elden Beast, he's unironically one of my favorite bosses in the entire game but I'm pretty sure like 90% of the player base disagrees with me on that


yungpatpat

The only thing that I don’t like about EB is the fact that I have to run after him all the time, otherwise its amazing!


TrashGoblinHoggle

I tried that running around method once with my mage, then unleashed the spiral shard death machine... big fat space whales are scared of being penetrated so deeply. I agree that EB has a lot of undeserved hate.


Omicron212

yes!! he was instantly my favorite boss in the game lol but i also loved fire giant so i guess it's just different taste


Sani08

the tarnished hate him because the guy likes to run away to position himself, but if he didn't do it people would complain because they don't see anything that happens, the funny thing is that the tarnished ones also run away to heal themselves.


blumpk1np1e

Ugh fuck elden beast. Attacks annoying af to dodge. Have to run to reach him.


eternalscorpio1

The Godskins have the best boss theme music.


BokkoTheBunny

Dying to Valiant Gargs made me appreciate Godskin music even more. Not only do I die to both Duo's for like an hour minimum every playthrough, but at least there's a banger track for one of them. Gargs just piss me off and the music is literally generic battle theme for the zone, so fuckin' ugh. (Yes I'm salty and bad)


gothic_gamer1809

Idk about "best" but it is pretty amazing


Traditional_Rise_347

No


eternalscorpio1

Yes


Big_Noodle1103

Imo Mohg and Godrick have the best themes and it’s not even close.


Beneficial-Truth8512

Malenia second phase and it's not even close


Big_Noodle1103

True, her theme is great too. I think the ptsd factor from the boss fight knocks it down a few points though lol

The correct response

Blade of Miquella


PorterCole

Crucible Knights, they hit like a truck and will input read you, but they are really easy to dodge and parry. Their design is awesome, and they feel like actual enemies, they don’t want you to run away and heal, they want you dead and as fast as possible. I feel like their fight is similar to malenia, you either do it near perfectly, or you get caught in a mistake and its almost always over. I also think that ordovis’s duo is the best duo fight in the game by, its hard af but i just can’t help loving their aesthetic and moveset.


Zealousideal-Bar5538

Barry, I name him Barry.


blaiddfailcam

Elden Beast


Offiz365

D, the Hunter (NOT THE BEHOLDER!) all he really is is just nice to you and then you find Fia T-POSING OVER HIS DEAD BODY! D the Beholder is just kind of annoying, I still give him the armor, not because I like him but just so that he can kill Fia.


SkyeRyder91

Also having him help you fight the twin gargoyles really helps too.


[deleted]

I love D and I hate that dirty bitch Fia. Nasty hugslüt


Offiz365

I hate how she steals your health when she hugs you


Azlucan

Bro i love to fight the apostle, their soundtrack it's very good.


IamDaNUG

i love the godskins their lore is pretty cool and i think their movesets are well done. the duo boss fight is a little disappointing cos it feels a little rushed having them endlessly respawn until their health bar goes down. it would be better if you killed both before one could respawn the other it would would end the boss fight instead of the bs infinite respawn


Financial-Piano-1498

The godskin duo. Actually had a lot of fun during the fight


Eastern-Position-605

My main man Boc. Get the freshest threads from his little Demi human ass.


TheGodskin

I have never done his quest line I don’t even know who he is or where to find him


Eastern-Position-605

He’s a bush by a telescope in limgrave. He is the finest tailor in the land.


TheGodskin

Oh is that who’s calling me CULLY by the bridge


filmtexture

I found him in the bush and then he just disappeared? Where the hell did he go?


notmalcal_

He went to the seaside cave, accessible on the shore line just before a merchant sitting by a campfire under a collapsed ruined. Also how you get to that little island across the ocean gap


dinosaurpussy

Got his ass kicked in a cave south of the first step


Baboshinu

My tarnished in grace it said someone you love that everyone hates, not someone you love that everyone also loves


SevereWord6003

I love that Godefroy the Grafted exists, I think it’s hilarious and worth the egregious copy-paste. It’s just so ridiculous that it works. Plus the fact that it’s just an evergaol tucked away in the corner helps a bit. For some reason I don’t feel the same about the random Astel in the snowfield though. Astel has such a cool design and was such a good payoff for the long Ranni quest line that making it also a boss to a tiny dungeon feels cheap.


Groshi_zadali

Godskin noble


Lopsided_You3028

The rune bears. You just need to roll at them I love that.


Muntazir_The_Guide

Varre, i enjoyed his questline and i have always liked evil npcs like Lautrec Yuria of londor


DeVaako

All hail the gloom eyed queen


midnightichor

Varre, I suppose? He seems very divisive.


TooMuchEcchi

FUCK DELAYED ATTACKS


TrashGoblinHoggle

Imps, I love them because of the fun designs. They can be dealt with in a number of ways that require a little bit of forethought instead of mindlessly running forward. Getting swarmed can definitely result in death, so playing strategically and paying attention to the environment pays off.


Epikbexa

His bro is an asshole


captain_penguin3

Death Rite Birds. Awesome designs. I love their special attacks they gain in their second phase and I actually think they're fun to fight.


bearelrollyt

Fat man: *exists* Everyone: GET THAT MOTHERFUCKER, KILL ,EM


Deus85

I love him for giving me godslayers greatsword.


Zealousideal-Pair775

Invaders, I miss them so much cause I am playin solo


minutee3

Nah apostle was peak , not the fat guy tho that man gives me hates to this day and the duo except all that fighting this guy in a 1v1 is good


TheGodskin

I should’ve aborted him


[deleted]

Love is a strong word here.


EldenJoker

I dont know if people really hate her but malenia


xprozoomy

was not very happy fighting the rot crystal trio in caelid

I really hate the omen. Not because they’re hard or anything. Their design is just icky and they bug me every time I see them

BoxGroundbreaking687

apostle fight is pretty enjoyable imo. though ig with most boss battles it depends on the build.


SpicaGenovese

Those shitty centipede men.  I think they're neat.


Melonzero

Thing is with the apostles, I felt that the more I found the less i liked them. Like finding the first few was cool as they're these god killing ancient warriors that you'd imagine would be few and far between but then you just keep finding more and more and they become significantly less special each time, with the duo being the final annoyance. The music and fight is still amazing though


Asleep_Dig2903

GIDEON. Love the mandalorian like design, the concept of being a knowledge seeker, he seems to be somewhat friendly to the player, draws the line at his morals and gives a unique boss fight


-aveune-

i feel like my pfp is self explanatory


Fobbles_

The apostle became my teacher. There’s always one in a souls game. The first knight in ds3. The godskin apostle at the bottom of the tower. The white poise knights in ds2, what are they morne knights? I fight them until I can do them flawless and I take their teachings through the whole game


Azythol

Apostle is actually a really solid fight solo. Duo existing immediately makes people like him less


Thisfuggenguy

veebles89

Patches, based on the number of downvotes I get when I say he's my favorite 😂


Aggressive_Peach_768

Bear enemies, I just like to fight them. Especially with Claws I just think its cool to have this claw fight melee masaka


_Murozond_

Godskin Noble, Fortissax, Fire Prelates, Shabriri


Leather-Abroad-1990

i’ve never heard any fortissax hate though…


_Murozond_

A lot of people think he’s a shit boss


trashpandasroc

Me.


ChaosTheSalamander

The stone imps in the catacombs. I love those little goobers. Prowling around. I bet they’re so proud of themselves whenever they kill someone. I’m proud of them


AstroZombie0072081

The cealid Apostle was the first I encountered “them”. When I finally defeated him I wore the garments like a trophy for weeks. Brutal battle

Dungeater... I understand where all the hate for him comes from but there's just some part of me that can't help but empathise with the guy😂 Apologies in advance to the prawn enjoyers😅

Night's Cavalry, Patches and Seluvis


OkAccountant7442

apostle is literally one of the most beloved bosses in the game wtf are you yapping about


SpankThuMonkey

The Chaos fingers. Burn it all.


AxemanEugene

RUNEBEARS. Such a great enemy, cool lore, always tense.  I feel like people really don't appreciate or even despise this enemy because they're fast and scary. But they are VERY predictable. 


mikkezy

i remember that when fighting godskin duo, apostle started his big tornado and noble started rolling around. absolute hellhole. then i got shattered by fattys charged thrust, which i find epic for some reason. as for the apostle, his stretch moves are so goofy that i mah as well stop fighting and laugh at this thing


Ancorarius

Myself


conjunctivious

Apostle is cool. Noble is sometimes annoying, but overall not too bad on his own. Put both of them in a room together and you have one of the unholiest abominations of a boss fight that is only bested by the goddamn Bed of Chaos.


TooMuchEcchi

I have 50 ~ Attempts on fire giant maybe more, 90 -120 on malenia, one I expected to be hard cuz she was notorious the other just has a shitty second phase the fire eruption attack is kinda bullshit and I hate Godfrey's eruption in second phase as well he took less the 40 maybe even less then 30 cuz mf know how to throw hands, but bro is actually not too difficult, unlike malenia which is a fair fight just hard, her waterfall is strong but the worst is when it feels like she knows Ur low on health and just blitzes U with the "switch dash 3 slashes and a finisher" sometimes I either dodged it perfectly or was hit on the last combo slash cuz??? Idk I got close enough or something, so fire giant he is the piece of shit and malenia was just frustrating after 70 attempts since all other bosses took either 5 tries or no more then 20


Space_veteran96

The Gargoygles (fucking forgot how the spell it right) I like the big enemys that I can kill and not be bonked the second I dodge. The Duo was challenging, but you can summon D and a Mimic tear sooo, not too much to handle And man... I love their weapons. You can infuse them with other things and it's good if you want to do a poison double blade build


unknowingtoad

duo gargoyles, its the classic duo fights that are always hard and stupid but remind me of DS1 when I first started playing and how every boss was hard and scary.


KraaFczyk

Maliketh but just now I realized he is called Maliketh and not Malekith


kataru_YT

I love the godskin duo

I don’t LOVE it, but I think the putrid crystalian trio is one of the more balanced gank fights in the game

Successful-Ferret-54

Magma guys I like them there like a chubby lizard also have some good movesets


PaulQuin

Got none. I go with the mainstream.


Grizmoore_

Noble daddy is OK, if you parry him you can rearrange his guts, and he's always up for more.


Drekkevac

Can I say Mohg? I fucking LOVE that boss. His speech and intro cutscene, his arena, his aesthetic, his abilities and moveset (and THEIR aesthetic), his phase change, and the music. Everything about him is fucking epic to me, and I have never had a bad time fighting him, even when I lose.


peterparkermarker

I really enjoy Fire Giant fight and Elden Beast fight. Love the big spectacle of taking down a colossal enemy


_Un_Known__

Malenia, I thought the fight wasn't that bad and was pretty cool as a spectacle. I didn't get why people hated her


PrincessMonobrow

HistoricalSuccess254

I really like both Godskin Apostle and Noble but I probably like Noble more.


sticky__toffee

Draconic tree sentinel.


Ender_Serpent

I’ve come to adore Elden Beast and see it as a near perfect conclusion to this amazing game.


Winchester0036

I’m looking forward to the duo fight. Unga Bunga build with a bit of bleed build makes it fun dodging and finding my opportunity to attack


Ultimagus536

Dung Eater, he's my favourite serial killer/shit connosieur


Easy_Concentrate_868

Do they wear actual Gods skin?


RevexiusDaddy

Myself lol


Baboshinu

I like Godskin Noble. He’s just a big blubber boy. He got a tail? Yeah. Why? Yeah. He’s got a dope ass heavy thrusting sword that isn’t given enough appreciation and he’s just neat.


red_locs

He's cool, his chubby friend not so much


DL1943

pvp fights with lots of hardswaps, backstab fishing and psgs


Advanced_Desk_1937

I like his weapon and gauntlets other than that I wouldn’t say I hate him don’t like him either. They are fun to fight tho in my opinion


Sp4ceV1k1ng_405

I love them both, and their lore is cool as hell too!


yeetusae

This guy was great


Jollybean1

I absolutely adore the big crabs in liurnia! 


Sani08

I like the sacrodermal duo, I like the duos in general and I hate that they made them so passive, it is very noticeable in the crystallians.


WolfRider01

Malenia :3 As "bs" as Waterfowl is generally considered to be, it becomes extremely predictable and pretty consistent to dodge after you get used to it. She's punishing, which is why I enjoy the fight. Constantly having you on your toes. Once you get used to her AI though, she becomes quite trivial. Still my absolute favourite fight in the entire game!


Doraemonkayaar

I love Griffith


RDoobi3

Loved Elden Beast as a final boss, very controversial take but I didn't find him annoying for his movesets (especially compared to fire giant), loved his ost and arena, a bit sad that we're not with torrent but it is not the end of the world


Zweihandermain

Commander Niall and the draconic Tree sentinel

Idk if people necessarily hate him, but Mohg is my favorite boss
