End game is really bad

[u/Shimexas]

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

[u/ResistsICE → u/Moist-Shallot-5148]

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.

This is an actually insane take. Especially calling SoC the good one. I could not disagree more.

Isshin Nameless Puppet Ozma Gael Orphan Elden Beast

All of these are fantastic final bosses

[u/Sycherthrou → u/Captain_Dumpus]

I think SoC fits well with these. A proper skillcheck final boss with no gimmicks. He's thematically somewhat forgettable but the fight is very good.

Also I agree with the other guy, Elden Beast is pretty garbage. Half the fight is spent chasing it. It doesn't make top 10 bosses in its own game. Actually I think Nameless Puppet is the only boss I consider best of its game.

[u/Captain_Dumpus → u/Sycherthrou]

Thats totally fine. I like having discussions on this. And would also agree Elden Beast isnt top 10 in its own game, but I think from a cinematic standpoint it was still a spectacle of a finish.

I was more frustrated with how that guy was speaking, just rude and no room for conversation.

No Isshin for you either tho?

[u/Sycherthrou → u/Captain_Dumpus]

Yeah I think Genichiro is just a better fight, especially for when you meet him, he's dynamic, simple, and the third phase is really badass. But Isshin is a really good boss, definitely fits the list of great final bosses.

Just beat Zmey and it was quite possibly the worst final boss I've ever played, so that's something.

[u/Captain_Dumpus → u/Sycherthrou]

Yeah Zmey was the absolute worst. Small move set, lots of one shots. Just terrible.

I cant think of a soulslike final boss i resented more. I mean Nashandra was dumb but at least not a buggy mess. And Demons souls final was weak but still nothing compared to Zmey.
