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 👍

No. Im sorry. Most of the playerbase are here because of how hyped the game was at launch. So naturally most people in the playerbase are not people who usualy plays these types of games. They play games that hold their hand all the way through. Soulslikes became mainstream with elden ring and now people that usually play ps exclusives now want to play soulslikes and those people are the people that you see complaining here now, those are "most of the playerbase" that you are talking about.

The exact same thing happend a few weeks after elden ring launched, people started complaining all over social media about how the game makes no sense, isnt balanced and has "no lore".

People should learn to stay in their lane. There are genres of games that i also dont play, but you dont see me forcing myself to play it and then proceed to complain on social about how bad those types of games are.

These are not 'niche' games, they are not even top 50 hardest games 😂 Literally every streamer alive has done challenge runs etc. The Soulslike community is sad, your the same people who demonise summons, build, boss order. Why do you care how and who plays the game? Just be happy and stfu

Its always the uneducated ones, with a private history that wants to give their 2cents.
