Rushed me before I could even summon my spirit, but she gets absolutely wrecked by Mohgs Sacred Spear + Mimic Tear+10. It's ability just drains her life faster than she has time to attack, and since most of her attention is on the spirit, I was able to freely use it on her. The only thing is that I had to quickly equip a shield for the start of her 2nd phase. But past that, I've had more trouble with Elden Beast. <cite>Ivany2008 posted [p:979436831] in I thought ...

Srk700 03/18/24 4:49:53 PM #8:	Mimic Tear+10 There's the reason why she was so easy. My 1st playthrough I tried beating her without any summons and died a bunch of times.

KajeI 03/18/24 4:50:33 PM #10:	Well, you used a S+++ tier weapon and the absolute uncontested best summon in the game (which also would've been using that weapon), in a series where bosses AI notoriously can't really handle multiple targets (though to be fair, Malenia's lifesteal mitigates this a bit), so yeah she'll definitely be a lot easier than most people who think she's hard say. Try her again 1v1 and see how many times you get your shit rocked. --- Look, I can name a few instances in MY life where I tried to reach mutual understanding and i can TELL you, always faster and easier to just kill em.

Mad-Dogg 03/18/24 4:55:32 PM #17:	Lol hey do what you gotta' do. You got it done. I beat her on like my 6th try myself, but admittedly I started the game as the samurai class/preset and right from day 1 I had the intention of using the weeby deeby katanas and everything else that was dex, arcane and bleed related. ....to be fair again though, arcane as a stat was totally broken in a bad way and didn't even work for the first like, week the game was out I think? Something like that. I got my ass kicked a bit before that first patch came out that fixed the arcane stat, and next thing you know holy shit bleed is bodying like 95 percent of the game. --- GTag:MadDogg730 PSN:lMadDogg NNID:xMadDoggx NS friend code:5313-0564-0819 Go buy cyber shadow like right now. <cite>Mad-Dogg posted [p:979437017] in I thought ...

A topic can be created where everyone has a discussion without the name calling. I was riding a high, and I know anyone would feel the same after defeating what is considered the hardest boss in ER. Did I beat her by myself without help? No. I did not. But I'm not 20 years old with the reflexes of a youngster anymore. I'm nearing 40, so for me to actually beat a hard boss, your god damn right I'll be happy about it. As I would expect anyone to be, and I would be just as supportive if anyone came in and said they beat Sephiroth in KH2 on their 3rd attempt.
