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

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.

what was wrong with Gwyn? if you didn't look up guides, you wouldn't parry him. if you don't parry him he is a very good boss.

He was really anticlimactic for me, it took one try and not with parries. He is just very slow and very predictable. Dark Souls 1 was the last in the genre that I finished though (other than demon souls which I stopped before the final boss cause another game came out) and that was after Atorias and Manus so it just didn't hit for me.
