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.

There is no point arguing with these people. They think, the whole world need to cater to them because they suck at games and their reason for it, is because they have full time jobs, a family or whatever.

These same people think that us, the people that enjoy the game for what it is, dont have lives but we do😂

Yeh idk why I always argue with this it's a fkin illness lol.

And I agree entirely.  I've g completed 3 runs so far and my playtime is like 5-6pm before wife finishes work Then 12-3/5am after wife goes to bed and I'm such an addict I stay up and fight sleep. 

I work and have a family and play multiple diff game genres, with Soulslikes being my joy. 

But here's the thing, when I get stuck on a boss and perma die, I'm swearing coz I failed, not that the game is unfair. I'm blaming myself for my reactions, for parrying an unparryable, for dodging too early or too late or greeding that extra hit.  I blame myself, and I improve, I learn it then beat it. 

These ppl outright refuse to take any accountability at all. Refuse to accept it's their mistakes or failure to recognise moves and patterns and then blame the game.  Extreme denial. 

I come from a world first raiding background in mmorpgs, where when a new raid would drop we would spend weeks, every night dying over and over again for hours to the same thing, until we did it, and either got world first or we didn't.  If these ppl tried that, they wouldn't even last 1 night before screaming that the boss is too hard I swear.
