I cheesed the demon of hatred but honestly wasn't even fun to fight. Game got easier when a user here suggested not to worry and suddenly i breezed through all the content.

Going into each fight with the mindset of doing it for practice made everything easier for some reason.

My second ๐Ÿ”ฅ take: I think Laurence is a harder fight than the Orphan of Kos at higher ng+ levels. Up to ng3 I had no issues with Laurence and Orphan still slapped me around but come ng4 I was fine (relatively) with Orphan but genuinely gave up against Laurence.

When someone said bairn in Elden Ring I felt that.

Lmao the first boss slapped me around until I realised the laser sword melee does silly damage if you anime boost in front of the cockpit and connect the hit.

I had a hard time with Lawrence the first time around and everytime after is so loooooooooooong. The worst thing about Lawrence though is the run back I'd have a much easier time without it. Orphan is my favourite fight outside of all the screaming.

I also had a hard time with the first AC boss until I realised I'm actually just mechsekirosoulsborne. I dnow how the reliance on melee is gonna effect the variety of builds through the game. I did always like being able to make viable but stupid builds in the older games.

Errgghhhh the fucking run back was agonising doomjak

Yeah I'm kinda hoping they can strike a good balance between the two play styles because that first battle sadly just taught me your rifle is a pea shooter.

the funny thing is after the tutorial mission i did it gave me a weaker rifle as a reward. THEY GET WORSE?
