So for the last 20 hours you have made 7878.3 attempts per second? Maybe invest a bit more time into one big attempt

Logic always beats me...
The animation when the Valkyries drag you across the floor.. chefs kiss. Have yet to defeat one myself. Tough characters!
Orphan of Kos. I started fighting that boss in 2016. I beat it 2020. I think i had 100 hours in that damn arena. I haven't touched bloodborne since.
In case anyone needs to see why sometimes you should give up.
My last race on Burnout: Paradise to get the Elite version of the Burnout license. I'm still going!
Good luck. I remember doing this. It took me forever but the license looks so good
I've tried about 100 times on the WTR Burning Route. It's so hard! I still haven't beaten it. Only have 1 minute but it's taking me at least 1 minute and 5 seconds on the times that I don't crash.
So 1 attempt every 0.0001269305 seconds, impressive.
Rapid Glass Cannon
The valkyrie wasn't the sticking point in Ragnarok, if you can beat the queen in the original you can beat this one too.
It was that final Berserker King. He's just got such a ridiculous number of moves he can do and you have to be prepared for.
So satisfying when you finally kick his teeth in, although I came perilously close to turning the difficulty down.
I completely disagree.
The original Queen and the King are basically the same challenge. Both of them require you to go through a gauntlet of fights to get to the end. Their underlings all have their own unique style themselves but each piece of them is added to the Queen or King as a whole. By the time you start to fight them, you already know 90-95% of their moves. They have a lot of moves but you've experienced them and have some training.
Then there's the Ragnarok Valkyrie who shows up out of nowhere with moves you've never seen anywhere else in game. Moves that move psychotically fast and are terrific in their brutality.
It took me 4 attempts to kill the king.
It took me 20+ to get the valkyrie.
I fought him so many times I practically memorized everything he can do and how to spot it. It's a great fight because he's essentially all the previous berserkers in one. Tye Valkyrie queen defeated me though. I did everything you can do in the game besides beating her.
I disagree. I wasn't able to beat them in the original, but I was able to beat them in Ragnarok.
those damn secret lvl100 JRPG bosses
Elden ring in a nutshell
Please don’t tell me that, I finally beat Sekiro shadows die twice after like two years of trying and now I got Elden ring lined up and I’m not sure I want to start it. Ugh.
Imo Sekiro is harder. Eden Ring, while quite difficult at times, feels much more forgiving to me. Really I think there are only a handful of bosses in ER that really fucked me up.
no, you can do it! if you beat sekiro you can beat elden ring. the open world, summoning options, and build variety give you all kinds of ways to win. start it!
I mean, that’s what I was kind of hoping that it would be a little bit easier experience. Lol
One bit of advice for Elden Ring is if you are having trouble with a boss go somewhere else.The first boss easily becomes the hardest boss without some upgrades.
well elden ring is my first souls game
Oh thank god, I’m basically ancient at this point in gaming years, so I got my start with the OG on PlayStation.
Sekiro only gave me so many issues because it felt more like DDR fighting game than a souls game, and I messed up and thought you HAD to fight that first boss lady butterfly(?) in the first memory sequence.
Spent about one year of ADHD on and off again battling her with only the starting health and potions before beating her. FML
I beat Elden Ring multiple times. I tried playing Sekiro, but I couldn't get past the first boss (I think it was at a shrine in a cellar?).
You'll be fine :) I can very much recommend the (I think it's called) Samurai class. They start with a Katana that's pretty good.
Lady Butterfly? She's technically an optional boss and really meant to be fought a bit later. She's an absolute pushover once you have some upgrades and actually know what you are doing, but if you are just starting the game she is way too difficult. It's honestly kinda stupid that you are allowed to access her so early.
The actual first boss is Gyoubu, the guy with the horse. While also difficult for first timers, he's much more doable than Lady Butterfly.
Okay, I definitely didn't get to a guy with the horse. I had incredible issues with the first miniboss (the guy that gets drunk and spits stuff?), so I assumed I'm just too bad for the game :D might have to give it another try!
Yeah, you got into Hirata Estate. That's a semi-optional area that's a bit too hard for when you first gain access to it. It's really the game's fault for giving you the bell thingy so early imo.
I definitely recommend giving the game another go. Don't get me wrong, you will die a lot even when you follow the main path like you are supposed to, but the game is a bit more fair with the difficulty curve. Except for the Chained Ogre, that guy is just bullshit.
Thanks for the recommendation, I definitely will! Do you know of any "guide" or something explaining a good order to do things in, in case I get stuck again? It would be good to have a reference to check.
I don't, sorry, I generally don't use guides while playing.
No problem, I'm sure I can find something if it comes to that!
The thing with the Souls games is you can always bring in another player, or level a bit more. With GoW that isn't an option.
GoW? Gears of war, god of war?
God of War.
The main story is much easier than any Souls game. The optional stuff in them will punish you.
Ah, I’ve never had issues with the God of war series. Always been more of a combo heavy fighting game style of combat than a slow methodical dodge-fest.
That was me in the last fight in Fallen Order. Then I went to bed and stomped her on the first try the next day.
I surprisingly had little issue with the GoW ragnarok valkyrie (i think 3 attempts?), solely because she had a similar kit to the valkyrie boss in GoW, and she took me far too long to beat (took me at least 6 hours).
I actually got some use out of that prior fight!
