If you have the Blessing of Water, legendaries are 25% easier to catch, making them about as hard as a super cucumber based on the wiki's #s. Otherwise, like I said in the description, it's just pure RNG whether they ever sit still long enough.

Oh... No fair... I want these update too 🥺. When the 1.6 update will come to videogames?

@@CarolineSiscaro 1.6 releases on consoles on Nov. 4

Those are "Nyapu's Portraits inspired by Dong" (Nexus mods 11491)

At the start of a new character, I use Cheat Engine to set the NG cycle

@@EricDotCom my reaction at first was like "dahm, why cheat the game?", but then you probably already maxed a character and just want that creative mode unlocked now for yourself. I would get it for infinite respects or PVP Loadouts. You probably like to experiment and do challenge runs and such. I am grinding my only character I have right now fairly to NG+7 for that +0.275x rune multiplier to prepare for invading lol.

​@@flavio1243 I use CE *only* to set the NG value. The character is completely fresh and the playthrough is otherwise vanilla. I just want to play on the hardest cycle from the start.

@@EricDotCom fair stuff

Oh there were several attempts where spells went through the parry or the parry didn't produce a projectile. Can't tell whether I just mistimed it or the code sucks but this just happens to be a run where it worked as intended most of the time.

Now that I've lifted my embargo on watching/looking stuff up about the DLC, I can see that most of these bosses can be dodged/perfected. While I still would prefer enemies looked less like speed hacking windmills, and I still think there's *many* other questionable design decisions, most of my complaints with the difficulty are just salt. Individually, most of the bosses are good, more interesting than those in the base game bosses like you said. The problem is when looking across the whole DLC, they all pretty much have the same gimmicks. Also consider FS has increasingly relied on this design for not just the DLC, but the base game and previous installments of the series. Clearly, a lot of people really enjoy these types of encounters, there's nothing wrong with it in and of itself, but when I feel like I'm fighting the same enemy for the 100th time, my eyes just glaze over. For me, learning the exact time and direction to roll through another half a dozen combos designed to intentionally confuse the player got stale and frustrating and I wanted it to be over sooner. It didn't help that on NG+7 everything killed me in one hit, making it infuriating to figure out patterns as one step out of the prescribed dodge pattern was usually instant death. Elden Ring took time to grow on me because it took time for me to understand all the different ways I could interact with enemies. I found Gaius to be the most interesting boss in the DLC because he seemed to be designed for horseback combat, making him completely unique to the entire franchise. I was so surprised to find people were fighting him on foot like every other boss. Runs where people do nothing but use a basic sword and roll and poke might be the most consistent/prestigious, but the most fun I have in this game is finding the perfect setup to cheese a boss, completely avoiding another segment of doing nothing but roll perfect, get one hit in, repeat for 10 min. I will probably attempt a NG+7 SL90 run again at some point, but blind, with no knowledge of enemy weaknesses, scadfrag locations, and the new items, I just didn't have the patience. And I still think it would benefit the series to make bosses more varied.
