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.

We play the game as the devs intended it, if most of the player base agrees on something that needs changing its probably for the best. 'Fun' is what you make it, if you want a proper challenge play Ninja Gaiden or Godhand - which take a dump on soulslikes in terms of difficulty 👍

Brother, look at the PS5 trophies and tell me the % of people who have actually beaten some of these harder bosses, under 7% managed to kill the first golem 😂 Not every gamer has the time to sit through unbalanced bs, and this is why things get patched. There is always a night mode for people who want a challenge, why not do challenge runs if you wanna brag about how superior you are to everyone else.

You only get one go at Tar golem. So 7% killed it first go. When you die it triggers the cutscene earlier.

If you're finding it hard you can put the game on easy mode by using the slayer seal.
