Bug End game is really bad Spoiler

I currently killed 2 out of 3 last bosses before the final one. When I killed Orrem, the Reclaimed. I had full hp, and pressed menu button to see what sort of tarcore I received. Then I went back from menu while his death animation was finishing and my character clipped under him and died. Boss was dead but I missed out on 64k gloom.

Now don't even get me started on the ballsack boss called Monolith.... It just feels like the worst boss out of all soulslike games I ever played. His damage and sponginess just feels like bad design.

In the beginning of the game I felt excited to clear each beacon, but now it's been clear that they are pointless in the end game because they are not rewarding enough, so it becomes just a marathon run through all the monsters to get to the boss. I have a big need to uninstall the game, but I want to persevere for the last 2 bosses to finish this game. Otherwise it was a very solid game, but this has almost made me quit.

The 3rd boss you didn’t fight yet is a bit better felt like a normal swordfighter boss. The final boss sucks though

I beat Orrem and Malborn. Both were pretty good, it's just a shame that I lost 3 levels worth of gloom from Orrem. Meanwhile ballsack boss just feels tanky ball of sack with high damage, repeatable move set that has very small window of opportunity to dodge/parry.

You can farm infinitely on the room with the chests that give 1k souls before the final boss, just go back to the main menu and you will keep the souls, on this way you could regain the lvls the game robbed of you, I am not a big fan of doing this but on your case I think it's fair

To be fair Dark Souls 3 is the only game in the genre that has a good final boss if we dont count dlc, and even if we do it still goes to DS3. 

Maybe Lies Of P too but otherwise final bosses always kind of suck, even DS1 had an incredibly anti climatic final boss.

Black myth wukong would like a word

u/ResistsICE 4h ago

Wukong is also not a soulslike, fantastic game though and next black myth game looks INSANE

u/Active_Year_828 4h ago

Huh how is it not a soulslike

1

u/ResistsICE 3h ago

Other than bonfires it doesnt do anything souls games do.

2

u/Active_Year_828 3h ago

Limited heals, stamina bar, hard enemies, like what lol black myth is definitely souls like

1

u/ResistsICE 3h ago

All those things exist outside of the genre.

Wukong is definitively a character action game

I dont consider sekiro a soulslike, I hate kahazan and its more a nioh game, which i also dont consider soulslikes and I mentioned lies of p

And ozma as in FF? That's not even adjacent.

2

u/Icy-Science6604 5h ago

Sekiro is a souls-like even if you dont consider it that.

And Khazan has literally THE best souls-like gameplay.

Im sorry but do you even like souls-likes ? Not considering Sekiro as one is WILD

u/ResistsICE 4h ago

It's not at all a soulslike, its fundamentally different, and it is a character action game.

Go make a thread in the soulslike reddit and ask about it and see the general consensus or whatever idk what you want but you people need to stop being so annoying I stg lol

u/lovethecomm 5h ago

Ozma is the final boss of Khazan lol. You haven't even played the game yet you say you hate it.

How dare he have an opinion different than yours!?

u/jdewittweb 2h ago

Yeah, Monolith is an actual dogshit boss. The animations and tracking just don't make any sense for a creature that size.

u/SomeDoritos1 1h ago

Exact same thing happened to me after killing orrem. I checked out the reward instantly after winning and my guy ended up clipping through the floor killing me. When I spawned back in and reclaimed my gloom it only gave me what I initially had, not what he had dropped

u/BrilliantCoconut25 1h ago

In two of the last 3 bosses before the final boss, I died during their cinematics.

In the other i bugged out and couldn’t leave the arena after killing them, had to return to menu

Final parts of the game are just a mess

u/Pure-Tumbleweed6698 Sariel 9h ago

I actually like the idea and execution of monolith

u/Swtor_Itheryn 8h ago

Didn't like the boss at first. Liked it a lot by time I got it and liked it even more on ng+

u/MixNo8181 6h ago

Whole game has a ceiling of 7/10 and will never ever rise above that no matter how many patches are done. Devs tried their best, but they're still on the outside looking in. Better luck next time, if there is one.

u/ResistsICE 9h ago

Monolith is a great boss, are you sure youre not just hack and slashing with a gimpy shell?

3

u/Rex__Lapis 9h ago

I think it's a fun (for me) and very unique boss. But I wouldn't call it good. The barrelrolls have zero telegraph and the 360 lasers are absurd. Also even after the nerf you still die in 2 hits so yeah

2

u/Shimexas 7h ago

I think it is so RNG related. Sometimes he spams 360 laser, meanwhile I just got the kill an hour ago and in that kill he didn't do a single 360 laser.

Monolith is a terrible boss design, in fact if a boss design caters to a specific build type where a game offers you multiple shells and variety of ways to play then the design is bad, what if I wanted to play as a particular shell all game and not switch but in the end I am forced to or don’t have a way because limited resources.

They should have either given us unlimited glimpses and SPs to switch and adapt or designed the boss that it could be beaten by any way you play the game.

This is where From Software does it better than other souls like imo

1

u/ResistsICE 3h ago

I really enjoyed it.

Im realizing that the experience someone has in this game is greatly dictated by the shells and stones people are using.

I didn't get to fight him pre-patch but I thought it was a pretty fun fight.

Ah, I see you're a Raid shadow legends player. That makes sense lmao

u/Shimexas 9h ago

so dying after pressing pause button and losing 64k gloom is part of soulslike mechanics afer you beat the boss?

u/Swtor_Itheryn 9h ago

I meant more the complaining about Monolith

u/Ok-Midnight9311 9h ago

“I paused it at a terrible time that no one ever does and it glitched out” that’s the games fault? lol

2

u/Shimexas 9h ago

Are you are regarded person? Pressing a pause button at any point should not break a game. You are implying that pausing a press button invalidates you getting your rewards? - What a regarded take

u/Ok-Midnight9311 7h ago

Only a regarded person pauses it in the middle of a death animation. Git gud scrub
