Using his magic he hard crashes my PC. Just to rub it in my face that I died.
He was 1 hit away as well.
I'm on PS4 too btw, not sure if you are but I just assumed by the Bloodborne mention. Not sure how language switching would work on PC or Xbone if you're there.

If A
isn't the hardest boss fight I should probably quit right now.

The Prima guide came up in the first OT - I'm kinda coming around on it. I've only been using it sporadically so I don't ruin things, but its major downfall IMO is that it doesn't tell you specific treasure locations, only that "treasure is in X spot" or whatever. But other than that, the maps and bestiary have been pretty cool and the walkthrough is still useful for going back through an area you've cleared to see if you've missed anything important.
It's not a bug, it's a feature!

I beat abyss watchers on my first try. Is that normal? SL lvl47 with a +4 butchers and the npc.
And yea stealth brag I guess but I feel like I was reading that this was troublesome for ppl. Am I over leveled?

I am almost exclusively INT with soul magic.
The main issue is the cast time for your main nuke (greater heavy soul arrow) is SLOW. Like, unbelievably slow. The enemies in this game love to charge you so it's very difficult to get hits in at times.
That said, I'm now at 60 INT and my spells hit extremely hard. It's very satisfying seeing massive chunks fall off health bars.
As for PVP, it's a no go honestly. People are too good at dodging spells and you're too vulnerable up close.
Seriously >.>
Champions cov was such a simple and elegant feature that I can't believe it didn't make it back.
Like, why take something out like that? Similar to power stance im left clueless as to why they would make such a weird move considering the glass cannon nature of a lot of the bosses anyways.

I think ng+ rings are at different locations than the normal ones so if you didn't find a ring in NG then it should be where it is supposed to be in NG+.

That seems like a high level, but maybe I just have been running through underleveled
.SL1
Faith only is probably harder than that at this point >.>
Sl1 runs are a dumb answer anyways considering this is a problem that ds2 solved years ago to a satisfactory end rather elegantly.

I discovered I have a talent for making that 1 fuck up in boss fights that you can't afford to make. 5 hours later on (late game boss I gather) D

I resorted to summoning for the 1st time, and some magey dude nuked him with magic and got all the aggro while I chased it around trying to land a hit. He died as he landed the killing blow too, and he did prob 90% of the lifting id say. Cheers fellow sunbro dude. Id like to have done more, but his magic was hitting proper hard and I hardly had a chance
The thing is doing it solo, so many of its attacks would 1 shot me, and quite literally 1 mistimed roll and i was dead. I learnt pretty much all it's attacks, but inevitably I would stuff something up.
Given I haven't heard too many people having trouble there, but heard plenty about other bosses in the late game, me and my old man gaming reflexes are seriously going to be put to the test from here on out I think

It's a relatively easy boss when you figure out that you can simply backstab them to death.
However, lvl 47 is a tad overleved, imo
If they were going for the boss already, I really don't consider it "chicken shittery"...
If they disconnected on you, then they are cowards.
I beat them on my first try as well. I was low 30's I believe. After I beat first form, I was like.... that CANT be it. And there was more, and I was disappointed in that too. Very easy fight, IMO. Now

I found the hardest boss fight can depend a lot on your build/weapon.
It's really sad to see how this game didn't build on some of the great strenghts and improvements from 2 :/

just tried my first invasion and this shit happens twice. Watch all the way to see the madness
Is this a known problem?

also there's so many summon signs on the seconds boss that its causing my game to crash.......

Yeah this pretty much sums it up.
I guess it depends on the weapon people use. I fought them at SL36 alone with a +2 katana and it was the most underwhelming boss I've fought in the series. They have so low HP and so low poise that they can be staggered for lenghty combos easily.
Having a blast atm laying down a purple sign

I put on the Untrue Dark Ring so I look like the host, and help out against the AF and other invaders. That ring is also fun since anyone entering the game after you has no idea what faction you're associated with even if they know you're not the host.
On the flip side, invading as AF is also a good time and very quick, though in my experience it tends to be too imbalanced in favor of the invaders (some will find this more fun).

Fuck that, if you're invading someone's game, you're fully intending to wreck their game and halt their progress for your own gain, so don't complain if the host do whatever they can to make you go away as well.
Meh, that's my stance anyways. I get that it's a part of the game, but most of the time I view people that invade as simply an annoying nuisance that I want to get rid of. Especially since I am in Ember mode due to defeating a boss and not because I am cooping with someone. So bloody annoying.
What is wrong with co-op on the PC? I did my first playthrough completely solo, got invaded a few times with no issues. Now I'm trying to play co-op on all the bosses for my second playthrough, but it's all messed up. I can't enter the fog gates sometimes when I'm summoned, and people I summon can't enter either. There are no animations on enemies and the host sometimes. Some bosses I can enter the fog gate but the boss can't do anything to me, so congratulations host, you just summoned a god.

The huge church-like building pass the bridge guarded by two large pot-throwing dudes, in front to the entrance of the rat sewer shortcut that leads towards the Dilapidated Bridge bonfire, where you can find an NPC guy with a large hammer sitting on a rock. Go down instead of up.
Door opposite the one that takes you into tree boss room. Down steps then across the bridge to the left. Through the big doors and then you need to roll off the elevator so that you can get the one that goes down. From there on is your new area.
Anybody?

Does anybody like DS2 more than this? I'm still early but I remember having a better time with DS2. One thing that game had going for it was some cool environments. About 8 hours in everything is kind of drab, but without the originality or atmosphere of Bloodborne. Maybe it's just me though....

More when they're clearly waiting around and high-tail it to the boss the moment they get wind of an invader
That's the point though, right? When you risk opening up your world to give or receive aid something nefarious might slip through. You should have to deal with something.
But I defeated the red beast and found nothing there but some sick armor. I guess I'll check again
I just realized you can kick those stupid stone lizard things in
and they'll roll back. So I've been having great pleasure kicking them off cliffs, and just occasionally being knocked back there myself.
Also, Carthus Bloodring saved me again on my second
kill. It's a crutch now.
