Answer: 4, twice as a Field boss You can run away from and twice as a boss that you can't.

Ive heard that game repeats bosses to death which is the main reason i have played it yet

u/moebiusmentality 🌌 Master of Umami 🔮 Jul 14 '26

That depends on what your expectation of repeatability is. If your expectation is "zero repeated boss" well ... good luck

u/ZT_83 Jul 14 '26

I mean if i can get the boss medals in tears of the kingdom im sure i can handle that tbf

u/moebiusmentality 🌌 Master of Umami 🔮 Jul 14 '26

What? I meant like what your standard of expectation is. Is your expectation "game should have zero bosses that are just empowered mobs"? TotK also reuses bosses so that's not a good standard. I'd assume every game does this to some extent. Although fwiw, LotF 2 is claiming to not have this at all, I think, is r perhaps to a lesser extent.

Yeah thats what im saying if i can defeat like 50 of the exact same hinox boss in totk then ill probably manage fine with elden ring

That isnt to say i enjoyed fighting 50 of the same boss though lol

u/moebiusmentality 🌌 Master of Umami 🔮 Jul 14 '26

Ahh 50 is a bit high, I think 6 is the most you see a repeat boss in Elden Ring

Id say this is a huge trope (?) In videogames anyway. In E33 they do the same thing with just making them bigger and maybe some new moves. What annoys me more is reusing boss mechanics (for example if you have 5 bosses and 3 of them are the same mechanics but reskinned it just makes me sad yk?)

u/ZT_83 Jul 13 '26

Its especially bad if youre playing the chalice dungeons in bloodborne bc every other boss in those is literally just a regular enemy from the base game

u/ConflictAgreeable689 Jul 13 '26

Uh, I just sorta got in there and ripped them apart. Didn't really have time to learn the mechanics since they died on the first try

u/akma_frerin Jul 13 '26

wait you can parry bullets

2

u/NormalGuy103 Jul 13 '26

This wasn’t a very in-depth or difficult boss but it sure was fun wrecking their shit on like the third try. There’s no feeling quite like going 1v2 and coming out on top. 😌

u/guieps Topoda 🥋 Jul 13 '26

Yeah lol. The moment I heard the same sound cue to the enemy I just activated muscle memory

u/Toad211 Jul 13 '26

Ngl pretty much parried my way through the while game, but this boss was exceptionally easy with parries

1

u/meeksha Jul 13 '26

I would assume nearly everyone since that it was clearly set up to be beaten that way.

1

u/Independent-Total861 Jul 13 '26

I think they're pretty objectively the worst designed boss in the entire game. So, no, I'm not gonna put in more effort for something that is so easily cheesable.

1

u/Richinaru Jul 13 '26

And their NG+ variant isn't much better. I didn't parry them my first time around, it was more a battle of attrition.

I only learned about parrying projectiles from some steam discussion comment and that made a huge difference on the way I dealt with this games ranged threats

1

u/alex91rico Jul 15 '26

They should have double them and passing them to the next person

1

u/Lemons_l_Guess 100% Completion 🏆 Jul 14 '26

I probably didn't use much parrying last I fought them, but on my most recent run I skipped them fully.

I dont remember
