    The fact that the Senechal with the best boss music after beating the first time changes to any online arisen or even better your previous arisen would haved been the very best boss if he/she wasn't a one shot

      Even if its fucking easy its still my favorite along with the dragon. I live just for the fateful decision drop when he reveals he's your previous character, "i shall meet you on your on terms, joined by my own companion of old" "you stand now at its end arisen, see your journey through!" i mean damn, this is an experience even if its the easiest fight unfortunately. The dialogue and emotion is close to grigori level.

"yeah, sure... he is definitelly weak at his head, but... who will climb at his head to hurt him... or... just stop him for a second or two"... that moment when you realize that the fight goes for half an hour and you lack on healing items and started the long and slow moment when you run our of Wake Up stones... what a wonderful fight... god lord... to me the best fight is the Daemon tier 1... nothing at DD compares to that moment.

      The fight with the seneschal I think was supposed to be weak, because lore wise there would be literally nothing you could do against it, if it went all out.
      So when a super powerful god tries to pull it's punches because it just wants to test you, not kill you, it might be doing a much too extreme job of pulling it's punches, because it has no frame of reference.

      You get used to it. Bolide does enough AoE to get many of the glowing spots and you can punch the rest. As for Metal Golems, you can manually point Gicel at their amulets and chip away at them. As an aside, the jumping force slap is one of the Sorcerer's most useful skills and comes in handy bullying magic resistant goblins. They're also extremely mobile with holy spam. Standing around pulling world enders is cool and all, but usually unnecessary. Sorcerers are the kings of the dogma.

    Im so glad to finally see this game getting the attention its always deserved. Its been basically tied for my #1 rpg since its initial release and I've never met somebody in person that has played it. I agree that while Grigori is exactly super hard, it was a pretty decent challenge my first time playing, and the way its drawn out over many areas with the cinematics and dialogue do SO MUCH for a boss fight, I wish more games tried to put this much effort into a final boss. I still compare games to dragons dogma to this day. Fanboying I know.

      It respawn every 14 days at 3 different locations. outside of grandsyn, old battle ground and dragon forge hill.
      In NewGame plus...it'll respawn at dragon forge dude's hill every 14 days.
      I farm it before griffin Hunt..Ive killed plenty instead of having to chase it to blue moon tower. I play magic archor. I carries a spare set of gold forge fire enchanted daggers at all times.
      I can kill the black chramira outside of the village with ONE SHOT to the head
      with just 1 buff of magic balance. For the Curse dragon with dark bishop...I'll buff 4 -5 time before I open the door. The dragon goes down with ONE. :-P....For death, I'll simply set BAIT..then lure it into the hallway as I do with
      those giant dog..i have 9 fold bolt and Richat shots RINGS...when buff 4-5 times,..Death will RUN..so I carry extra BAIT..lmao
      For pestie flying creature..I shoot super drake in the FOOT with rivet bolts
      just for kicks and giggles ..just so I can watch it stump it's feet :-P
      The same for dragons in the sparyard and forgotten city.
      Death or the curse dragon will spawn in EARLY when I play..
      so there 's 3 super dragons in one room at the same time...just for FUN.
      9 fold drops ALL flying things...The trick is to make it fall on the ROOF..so I can slice it;s heart out on the ROOF,...not down in the alley....where you can get gangbang.
      Drake is the most memberable for me...becuase it took me over a week
      to learn how to fight/beat him. Sometimes it would take 2 hours just to fight him...but it was more like TRAINING as I learn the mechanics of the game.
      I just grab to his Tail or scale him...fly on top of his head for kicks and giggles. now,..even if I fall from a high distant..it wont kill me..My mage will heal me..
      The first time I ran into drake was in the DARK doing an escort mission.
      Damn goblins were chasing me too....it was wickage .
      It had a shocking/fright/fear in my EXPERIENCE of the game.lol
      Once I figure out I could camp 100 yard away..save every 7 days. Drake shed
      lots of TEARS for making me almost pissed in my pants the first time I ran into him. :-P

    It's pretty clear from this list that you've never fought a Metal Golem using the caster classes. If you don't have a physical weapon, M-Golems are absolutely miserable and unfun, since their amulets are immune to magick damage, and there's always one or two amulets that are way up above the ground, hanging off some fucking tree branch of floating the the middle of the fucking air. At that point you have to basically pray that your Bow using Pawns have the brains to actually attack the amulet instead of wasting time attacking the M-Golem itself.

    My favorite boss is probably the griffin. I think it's the best looking boss in the game. Hydra and Chimera are also very cool. The devs put some nice mechanics into those bosses. For example, you can stop Hydra from spawning more heads by cauterizing its wounds with fire, which is how Hercules killed it in the actual myth. Chimera changes its moveset into goat-mode if you kill the lion head first. I like that they put in mechanics like that.

    I feel that the Gazer ranking is a bit unfair since it's assumed that you know how to deal with it. The mechanics are much cooler when you find it the first few times, which is a much better basis to rank all of these bosses in the first place.
    Discovering the ability to break the magic its using to revive its tentacles and attack the orb of power was epic. And using your brain to guess that the tentacle could hit its own body was a great addition that they didn't really need to add, but made the fight a bit better and more interactive.

      @@The_Rift Absolutely. Many bosses after the first few times become much less interesting and fun and more annoying and time consuming. Golems and metal golem are a big one. It's incredible the first time because although they share model and some animations with cyclops, it feels much different. But then you fight them again, or as a caster, and everything is much less enjoyable or even annoying if you can barely hit it. Especially when the metal is floating and you are a melee class.
      And then of course, some like gazer are just a cake walk once you know what to do. I think the intrigue comes from seeing that enormous enemy and frantically finding out how to kill it.

    the Ur-Dragon is a very nice boss, loved the arena, found the pawns that spawn randomly there to be interesting and unique, plus it will reward you with unique weapons if you defeat it. it can be difficult to handle on your first go, but if your high or maxed level and have pawns at that level to, you should be able to get it past half health if not defeat it on first go.

      I know people don't like their comparisons but a permanent yet fixed number of heals per rest would like a souls game would be very useful. (Ignoring mage heals, those should stay the same.) Make it so you have a singular button to heal, that you have an animation to use said heal and a specific number so they aren't spammable. Not even the souls games kept us as cows eating mountains of grass after demon's. It's a good system, more games should pillage it.
      Also buff it so at least higher healing spells, heal all health rather than just the gray bits for attrition. Mages should be the king of the heal, unless swap in the healing position to a new vocation like a cleric with that incense burner.

    I personally think that Living Armors are the best. They're design are extremely badass, and not to mention, they're basically magick knight, weilding a saving grace. And their mechanics on how to defeat them are well unique among others. Hell, even other bosses from other games. It's the first I've encountered an actual logical, living armor concept.

    I remember fighting the Ur-Dragon super early on (and under-levelled) when I first got access to the Everfall. I was Magick Archer, and the fight lasted over 3 hours and I used every single curative in my inventory but I eventually beat it by whittling down its weak points.
    The second longest (and most annoying) fight I had was against a Golem in the witchwood when I managed to destroy every weak point except the one on its foot (I was a Strider) and he would never give me a clean shot on his foot. It took about 45 mins for me to get a lucky shot while he was walking to finally beat him.

    The only problem I have with this game is that after you try to get the final ending you no longer can play the game anymore. Trying so hard to do quest, get stuff, helping people but can't go back to meet them. Why can't you free roam after the game end? Just because the developers don't want to make a post-game world?

After that you truly disappear from the world as your pawn soul is moved to your body. Then the game forced you to start a playthrough again from the beginning. You can avoid this ending but that also mean you need to sacrifice your lover or become the dragon servant so you can become a king.

    For me, my first Golem fight would be easily in S tier, I remember when I was exploring that cliff near the male bandit castle and seeing a sword in stone and a strange rock nearby. I took the sword and got my first magic daggers and the rock suddenly stood up and the epic boss music started. I fought with it for about 30+ minutes, because I didn't know how to beat it at first, hiding behind the rocks for his laser beam attack. After I beat it, it was such an epic feeling. I got the magic knives and defeated their guardian, no other game gave me such a satisfactory reward after a long battle. Of course I was pretty low lvl and was playing on normal and those magic daggers completely dominated the next half of the game.
    Also while exploring BBI the first time on somewhat, then I thought, high lvl (about 50) the first time I encountered chained Gorecyclops... He completely wrecked me, but the sheer size and awe when I first saw it only made me more excited to play the game to find out what sort of huge and awesome monsters would I encounter next.

A warrior can "cheese" if known the set of moves and stay between the legs. I would literally not stop attacking while moving and it ended be almost like a dance or something like that I felt.

    I gotta say, even though it feels wrong, the Ur-Dragon is my favorite boss. Both Daimon and Grigori were so easy to deal with. Daimon’s first phase literally couldn’t do anything to survive spamming skull splitter, and his 2nd phase literally couldn’t move if you have blast arrows. Grigori was extremely cinematic but it was easy (maybe strider is just too op). The ur-dragon was actually really difficult and I mean the offline one. I had to return a bunch of times and the hearts being scattered throughout was a fun touch.

    Hydra and Archydra are generic. I would say I love both of them though since snakes are my favorite animals. also, if your into vore, these creatures will likely be among your favorites in this game since they can swallow the player after a quick mini-game that can be skipped if your poisoned. if you have immunity or very high resistance to poison but still want the "skip-struggle" option, just eat a curative that poisons you. there is still a chance however that your pawns can save you before you reach the main body and get digested, causing you to use a wakestone if you have any if you want another go at them. pawns get returned to the rift if they end up in the main body, and you only get to watch as you get swallowed as long as you have 1-3 pawns. no pawns = insta-death somehow.
