I’ve started up DS3 again after a 1-2-year break and am having lots of fun. Just defeated Oceiros after defeating all three lords and Dancer of the Boreal Valley and am looking forward to seeing what’s next.

    A bit late to the game, but I ended up playing Lies of P. Reached the final boss fight late last night, got stomped and went to bed. So now I am sitting and waiting for my workday to be through ….

      The true final boss or the “final” boss? Either are a pain, really

        I expect that it is the final boss. Simon Manus. But I won’t rule out that there could be another one - perhaps Geppetto is showing up ?

          Depending on your choices throughout the game, there is another boss after that that you can fight.

          Manus can be the last, though. And I don’t like the fight one bit personally lol. Something about his long, wide sweeping attacks just annoys me.

          Plus the

          spoiler for attacks

          entire phase 2 with his magic and stuff just feels a little too spammy and out of the place for the game

            lol I totally agree. Personally I don’t find phase one that bad and with the right combo of dodges and parries he becomes manageable. Phase two though, Jesus Christ a shitshow. Dodging punishes you, parrying punishes you and keeping a distance punishes you.

            I gave it 40 goes and figured I might as well go grind a bit, to see if I can get some more damage. Because I do absolutely no damage to him, when I finally do get an opening.

              Yea sounds like you might be a tad underleveled then. Also no shame in turning the difficulty down if it gets too absurd tho. Helped me with the DLC quite a bit

                No, grinding levels already felt like cheating, so no difficulty slider for me please :3 and I see what you mean about the final boss. I knew I would have to take out Geppetto as well somehow!

                    I don’t know yet, but it seems challenging. Just had a single go last night, because I beat Simon super late and had to go to bed. But i got through its first phase and then he went crazy and I died :P
