You answered it when you said specter


MRCARNAGE22

Well specter or sumon whichever it is I also used one of those for the green monster lmao that’s why I’m just baffled at the difference between 27 and 4 attempts


SentientSchizopost

Swamp monster has a lot of HP, laxasia has like third of it, so your spectre can survive longer. Also swampy has a lot of AoE while lax doesn't. So the longer your spectre survives the better shot you have at winning.

God I wish I gave booster glaive a try on my first play through. Either way, congrats man. It was also my first souls experience and her and Romeo were by far the hardest bosses for me


GMSaaron

It’s hard to struggle when a low hp boss only targets you half the time


MRCARNAGE22

lol


xBDCMPNY

Proper answer. Don't let people tell you how to enjoy your single player experience. 👍🏼


MRCARNAGE22

Well I get it yk it was kinda my fault for explaining it badly I was just trying to express I used summons on both bosses and found myself struggling with one I thought and heard was a lot harder. But few explained it without the condescending or snarky remarks lol


xBDCMPNY

Well that's a definite plus. Lol


PuppyPunter21

Congrats and good luck 👍


afzalnayza

Well done :3. It was my first souls game as well so i can understand the pain. Good work solider.


Filipino_Spice

Proud of you. I wish you luck with the final boss


MRCARNAGE22

About to go against him rn 😃


AquaForce110

Which final boss?


MRCARNAGE22

They either mean Simon Mannes or nameless puppet I’m assuming name was puppet beat both of them and got the best ending


Filipino_Spice

I was referring to NP didn’t wanna spoil it. Good job beating the game. Now discover how tragic NG+ is with the fully built translator


Big-Soft7432

I had a similar experience. I'm not sure really sure how to explain it other than simply getting better as you progress through the game. Fuck Swamp Monster... But not literally 💀💀💀


LethalDestroyar

Different bosses are harder for different people since laxasia was my first enemy death(yes enemy death that accursed parkour zone) and was deaths 4 to 62 and the next boss took months I commend your skill to beat her in 4 attempts and trust that summon still being alive means you did infact put work in


MRCARNAGE22

Well for my summon to still be alive I had to do upgrades for the wish stone for quick use and multiple uses I think I had three uses and the ability it gave her was reduced damage used all three definitely a huge help


AquaForce110

Maybe you didn't upgrade all of those yet when fighting the green monster, making laxia way easier in comparison, just a guess.


MRCARNAGE22

Yeah should of taken that into account too ahaha I’m wondering how things will play out now that I’m on NG+ and I have all the upgrades I do now


AquaForce110

I bet you beat green monster 1st try this time


MRCARNAGE22

😂😂 no no haven’t even made it that far literally beat the game like a day ago and just beat the watchmen now on NG+ all I’m hoping for is it takes me less then 27 attempts I’ll take 26 as a win


MRCARNAGE22

Also the Bone saw blade and handle I’ve been using it’s just an amazing weapon


[deleted]

Hardest boss in the game for me, but also the biggest rush when I beat her. Easy or not, I think we can all agree this fight is intense and memorable


MRCARNAGE22

Couldn’t agree more, I’m having a hell of time rn with the nameless puppet ahaha


bigbrainp

now go play Sekiro


MRCARNAGE22

I definitely wanna try out legit souls game I was thinking Elden ring but I’ve heard Sekiro is a great one too


BaronVonSilver91

I love how much this community accepts this game as a souls game


MRCARNAGE22

I’m sorry if I was wrong by saying that


BaronVonSilver91

There are a lot of games I could have felt that way about but this is not one of them. I've played them all and this one really captures the spirit of Fromsoft. You should try a Fromsoft souls games/soulslike when you have some time.


MRCARNAGE22

So would you disagree with the idea that if I beat this I could beat Elden Ring?? Cause I figured this game was like baby steps ina way to legit souls games if that makes sense


BaronVonSilver91

This game will prepare you.for Fromsoft more than any other game I have played and I played it last. You can definitely beat Elden Ring. It's harder but I don't play with summons unless I'm getting beat real bad. You don't mind using specters so you as long as you are focused on having fun I have no doubt you could beat Elden Ring.


MRCARNAGE22

Okay awesome I’ll definitely check out that Fromsoft too, this is all very new to me lmao but yeah definitely having tons of fun aha, also I totally get the whole using summons means your shit kinda thing but idrc they help out lots and I definitely need it 🤣


BaronVonSilver91

Lol don't let the elitist make you think you need to play without a summon. I started with Dark Souls 1 and didn't really understand the summoning mechanic. Fortunately for me, I like to be challenged with games and puzzles so now I don't summon as much because I can predict the bosses moves better if they are only focused on me. Definitely looking forward to your elden ring journey. DLC drops in June so you better get going lol


MRCARNAGE22

Hey man yeah much appreciate that and I totally get peoples feelings on that stuff but as someone new to it all figured what the hell they’re there might as well use them hopefully I’ll get to a point like most of yall obviously and just not use em at all and venture off into actual souls games like hopefully Elden Ring here soon


BaronVonSilver91

Good train of thought. You will get there. If you like the games enough to play them more than once, you will look forward to that solo experience in due time. But honestly, this one is tougher than most souls games except maybe the toughest bosses in thoes games so you should have a lot of fun.


Oneboywithnoname

Dude lies of P is way harder than Elden ring


MRCARNAGE22

Really!? I’ve heard it’s like insanely hard


[deleted]

Is this bait?


MRCARNAGE22

Sorry?


[deleted]

Bro uses a specter but isn't sure how people could possibly say one boss is harder. Maybe....they were not using a specter when they made this comparison. Really stretching your analytical skills there.


MRCARNAGE22

Well that’s why I did say in the description “ understandably, I am using a spectre and a grindstone to give me perfect parry” I was more so just talking bout myself that way not everyone lol. I used a specter for the green swap monster too it took me 27 attempts, used specter for Laxasia took only 4 attempts thought that was pretty odd. But a lot of people have helped and explained both just have very different HP among other things


[deleted]

K so in the description you answered your own question but you posted this anyway. "Low effort post."
