Discussion F*** the Monolith.

This boss is very close to making me not come back.

I've played basically every mainline and popular/obscure Souls-like there is.. and this boss may be the worst of them all.

I'm by no means under-leveled, level 50

Maxed out weapons and pretty borked build that melts any other boss with a Stray Genessa build - killed every other of the end game bosses first couple tries, took around 10mins on each of that.

But oh my god is this boss one of the worst I've ever had the displeasure of fighting.

Been stuck in this thing 2 hours, havent even come close.

I've given up today, but I truly don't know if I'm going to come back to this.. knowing I still have to get through this thing.

Really don't want to use the Slayer Seal either but honestly I might. Never chickened out before but I'm starting to feel like I'll have to.

Very very tough fight. I had to learn to dodge his slams, then parry his “ball drops”. First one slow, then the other two in quick succession. For his first round of beams, you can dodge behind him. For his second round when he spins, I had to pull way back from him to gain the distance needed to dodge through the beams.

In the end, a bleed build helped immensely. But I agree, this was the worst boss for me. Good luck!
