    OK so I think the Gravetender fight may be one of my favorites in the whole series.

    But it took me like an hour/hour-and-a-half or whatever to crack.

    Finally beat 'em though.

    With Pyromancy. Pyromancy is crazy good in Dark Souls 3.

    The reason I like the Gravetender fight is that it throws a little bit of bullshit at you, but it's multiple types of bullshit that you have to manage separately.

    Like, it's similar to Lud and Zallen in the sense that you have to manage two enemies, but they were so similar that there wasn't much nuance to the design of that fight. It was, to be blunt, fucking bullshit and it was obvious bullshit throughout.

    I thought of the Gravetender fight almost as a focus-management puzzle.

    At least didn't just throw near-copies of the same damn enemy at you repeatedly in the fight.

    Plus, it's right next to a bonfire whereas Lud and Zallen made you traverse one of the worst zones in the whole damn series.

    Since you’re in it already and you’ll be finding out firsthand, the comment was because of how many boxes the Friede fight ticks that you described when fighting the Gravetender.

    It’s a spectacle.

    That was a really cool fight.

    She’s dead but I did use Gael and some other jolly co-oper.

    Funny thing is, on my first attempt I made it halfway through Phase 3 before dying. And I only had Gael that time. He died and I ran out of Ashen Estus (I used pyromancy for the fight) and then I died.

    I guess her dialogue changes if you follow the Yuria questline? ‘Cause she made a lot of references to me being the Lord of London.

    I described Dark Souls as a game and as a gameplay concept earlier this evening as "figuring out how the game is planning on fucking you and then fuck it back harder so it can't fuck with you in that way and then repeat that process until you beat the game."

    I agree with that entirely. The gameplay loop is out-fucking the fucker; there's no such thing as "cheesing it" in Dark Souls.

    You know what?

    When I finish this last area in Dark Souls 3 and beat the final boss, I’m gonna move on to to Bloodborne and I’m going to name my character Monterey Jack in honor of these posts.

    I mean, that name is cheesy, but it’s also a good name for a hunter.

    I am not above a good cheese. The Old Hero boss fight consisted of me hiding behind pillars and shooting arrows at an old blind man slowly enough that he could never figure out where I was.

    I just haven't found the appropriate cheese for Maneater. I thought I had him nailed with arrows and just running back and forth, then he summoned his asshole brother and they punched me off the fucking bridge.

    I beat Maneater with Firestorm.

    Luck is involved but Firestorm is Demon’s Souls cheese button.

    I can't help you if you're playing the remake, but if it's the real game then you're on the right track. Just try standing further away.

    No, further than that.

    Ornstein and Smough, Friede, Demon Prince.

    Only one of those is decent. Demon Princes are miserable to fight. Friede is one of the worst in the series. Multi-enemy plus three phases all with their own health bar, and it's one of the worst of the "Bloodborne enemy, Dark Souls PC" fights DS3 does. She's awful.

    Friede is my 2nd favorite. Demon Princes are an amazing fight.

    Friede punishes "roll and hit" players and makes people actually look for openings instead of assuming one will be there. That's the mechanic. She's very backstabbable and all of her moves are telegraphed at least a week out.
