say, something I forgot to mention in the last ng+ for ds1.
did you guys know, you can rip apart the Centipede Demon’s each individual centipedes? and that each part, becomes a mob upon landing, a half-cut centipede mob that can crawl towards and attack you. I noticed that while fighting and cutting off 2 of its centipede-like limbs, the tail at the back and on the left in front of it, that big limb that the centipede uses to expand it at you, if you’re far away from the boss.
I’m mentioning it because up until now, I don’t remember seeing that in this boss before.
To me it seems like the point of the fight might have been getting the ring to fight the boss in the lava, which is why the arena seems so fucking awful with only <5% of it being able to stand on without dying, but there’s more, you have to know 2 things, to cut the tail and if that didn’t kill the centipede thing, to kill it as well, because only after dying it drops the ring. This could’ve been solved by having that ring drop at Ceaseless Discharge, there, Done.
Next problem is play testing. The boss jumps too much at close range and it’s a pitiful attack that can almost never do anything, in fact it’s unbelievably slow, just watch this boss fight… This is where some play testing would’ve helped, as well as maybe even come to the same conclusion I’m thinking, that this whole scenario is too convoluted to make sense of.
the whole idea is cool, but the ring should be obtained before the fight and the patches of ground removed entirely, if the whole point of the boss was to have a boss you fight in the lava. It seems far too intentional for it not to be the case, with the ring being obtainable during the fight, as well as the arena being over 95% lava.
Anyway, I would like to see if it works next time, because it is a fairly novel idea that could’ve worked for something like fighting this boss that isn’t too extremely difficult, while having its environment used against you.
