Dying at the last second means I know how to beat the boss and either I screwed up at the last second or got unlucky.

pinky0926 07/08/24 6:20:52 AM #3:	The duality of dark souls bosses. You either get stomped immediately or you take the boss to their last sliver of health before it goes tits up. Logically, the second is better. You get more exposure to the end-game of the boss' mechanics. But emotionally it's so much worse. Bonus point: the pain of nearly beating the boss on the first or second try, only to them get your ass stomped in less than 5 seconds on every subsequent attempt. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. http://i.imgur.com/ILz2ZbV.jpg <cite>pinky0926 posted [p:981201192] in Would you ...

hmnut7 07/08/24 6:41:23 AM #7:	It depends. But in general I would say 1/3. If I'm playing a game, at some point I should face a boss I can't beat automatically, otherwise the game is too easy. If I get beat at the 1/3 mark that means I've come across an actual challenge, and need to either gain skills and/or study its attack patterns to beat it. If I get beat at the 1-hit point level, that's usually a sign of the boss getting a lucky hit. at the 1/3 mark I feel 'yep this is a real boss battle I need to git gud' at the 1-hit left mark I feel 'come on brah you know I won, do I really have to do the whole thing all over again,' --- Starfire: "They are too numerous to fight.
