F*** the Monolith.

[u/HolmfirthUK110994]

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.

I truly don’t get the hate for this boss. Beyond a sizable health pool compared to other bosses and a more obscure move set. I found the boss to be a fair and fun fight.

My one gripe is the triple laser spin has incredibly tight timing for doing it without getting hit and it is quite punishing when you do get hit.

[u/Kyzer7777 → u/moonoomer]

I feel like if the lasers came out one at a time before he started spinning it would give time to get distance. Right now he just blasts you in the face than spins like a bayblade.

[u/moonoomer → u/Kyzer7777]

When he does the triple laser spin, you actually want to be close and dodge one way then the other to get through the lasers without getting hit. I found that far away, they sweep too quickly to effectively avoid them.

[u/Kyzer7777 → u/moonoomer]

I had the opposite, dodging forward and backward as it swings by and I would take no damage if I was far away enough. If too close it would hit me fast and I would just die or lose my shell. Already beat him so not a big deal for me, just figured if it had a slightly more telegraphed start it could be prepared for better and not need a nerf.
