What Are You Playing Right Now, Part 2: Daggerfall

[Man_Over_Game]

See this seems odd to me, because I’ve always felt From games do a very good job of telegraphing what you need to do to beat just about every boss that isn’t named Bed of Chaos. The boss does a start up animation on its attack, learn the pose to figure out which direction the attack will go, when the start up animation finishes perform the defense of choice, then attack once or twice and wait for the next start up animation. Some of the bosses attacks are chains so there might not be a window to attack until after the last move of the chain, but usually after this the boss has a longer finishing animation so you can punish them with a stronger move.

I’m curious, what boss confused you?

I it was Dark Souls 2, in this grey fort with TONS of undead. You enter this box room that's being guarded by about 12 undead (they kinda just congo line out of the place as you get close), and there are these 3 bosses that gang up on you when you fall into this grey cube-like room. I was a Darkness/Light Cleric, I think, using the binoculars to destroy most things at long range, or using some other gimmicks (like the lure spell that creates an orb that minions are compelled to attack) to mow through a lot of areas. But when I encountered the three in that grey box, I decided to take a break for a while. Never had the time to come back to it. Rather, never made time.
