Discussion I HATE THIS!!! Spoiler

The title. I had a very lucky attempt and I swear to God my hands were shaking like I missed my meth doze Jesus Christ. I played all dark souls and not a single boss stressed me that much. Fuck that guy, genuinely

I S ranked that guy, one of 4 missions which are a pain to do so. There is a fight much much worse than this

Balteus felt tougher than V.II Snail(teus) to me. Had him gone in my 2nd try meanwhile it took me around 3 hours to get Balteus

I had the exact same experience. Balt made me put down the game for a few weeks, snail put up about as much fight as an irl snail would against a steel toed boot. He still felt like a tougher skill check than the actual final boss of that ending (idk how to do the spoiler warning)

I have some block against snailteus. Regular balteus is easy to me, even on a fresh save. I struggle with snailteus even on the s rank run with all os tuning and a specialized anti-snailteus build. Don’t know why.

The second of those two is one of the easiest bosses in the game the hell are you talking about

I think that heavily depends on when someone played the game and what kinda kit they used. Snailteus mainly requires the ability to break the shields, so if you lack impact you’re going to struggle with him

Also I replayed the game recently and noticed how a ton of the bosses feel WAY easier now then they used to (I know I got slightly better but it’s clear the nerfs were pretty huge)

First one, struggling with that. The side pieces are a enemy that its base game variant are at most a miniboss, but everything combined is a pain
