    It took quite a while in Dark Souls 3 before I conceded that I should actually level up my VIT so the Abyss Watchers didn’t just one-shot me every time.

    I swear even the time I finally won I successfully clawed at Scar’s face over a thousand times before I realized you just throw him off the cliff.

    Okay here’s the plan.

    I gonna slam the door open, run straight in, and attack with the most basic of attacks I can think of.

    It’s foolproof.

    A good portion of my failures in boss fights are due to getting the boss low and thinking, “I can just spam attack until he’s dead now” and then getting caught by attacks I was avoiding prior to that.

    And a decent portion of the ones left after eliminating those ones are due to not being used to the attacks enough to avoid them consistently.

    Assuming soulslike boss fights.

        As the meme implies, stop and think about how to change tactics.

        Uhhh no? Especially if your playing a game that your suppose to try multiple times like hades.

        I guess it depends on the game but imo the best boss fights are puzzles (god of war style) where you don’t change tactics, you keep playing until you figure out the puzzle.

        Idk if I call that changing tactic, I just keep trying until I figure it out.

          Agreed, but adjusting tactics often is part of the puzzle, no? You need to solve the puzzle (find out what work = changing tactics) and then executing that solution

          I mean if you want to keep running bleed against a boss immune to bleed go ahead, but I’ll probably switch to an occult infusion.
