Using Dragon Incantations and a bunch of buffs/talismans.

It's pretty insane how high you can get the damage multipliers.

Dragon Communion Seal in each hand for 10% each

Roar Talisman for 10%
Flocks Canvas Talisman for 8%
Magic/Fire Scorpion Talisman for 12%

Golden Vow for 15%
Howl of Shabiri for 25%

Magic/Fire Shrouding Tear for 20% and Hidden Cerulean Tear for infinite FP for 15 seconds

If you can proc bleed, White Mask and Lord of Blood Exultation for 10% and 20%

Just drop a cheap summon to draw aggro, hit your 3 buffs, and let the breath attack rip.

I got into the open world, wondered around aimlessly. Couldn't figure out WTF i was suppose to be doing. Finally found something that looked like i should kill it and then proceeded to get my face kicked in.

Same. Got through the training. Was excited about the game. But first opponent I see in the open world. Basically 1 hit kills me.

I have played some tuff games but damn. Guess I need to try again with the strategy of run and hide.

Don't know what Miyazaki was on about saying the optional content bosses of the DLC would be much harder than the mandatory bosses. Bayle, Midra, and Metyr combined took me less than 10 attempts. Messmer was well over 20+ attempts and I've lost track of how many times the final boss has wrecked my shit.

Messmer was incredibly tough but fair. Radahn/Miquella is all the wrong things they learned about difficulty crammed into one fight. Deceptive hit boxes. Deliberately punishing good reads. AOE spam. Unreadable attacks because of visual effects. Just an all around gross experience.

I didn’t break anything but when I did finally down him it was more relief than excitement. I’m just glad I’m finished and I don’t know if that’s a good game design.
