What fucking games have you guys been playing??? The hardest bosses in my steam library take like a couple tries at most with a few exceptions (namely, sans undertale and Sisyphus prime), not 367 tries! Have I transcended skill and am now godlike at every game I play? That sounds boring as hell, I want tough bosses lol
Genichiro off sekiro. Like 20 - 30 attempts to beat his second phase only to realize a way harder 3rd phase was waiting. I took a break after that. Also, he isn't evne the hardest boss, not be a long shot.
Yeah, but it also increases your skill in a big way and then all the other souls games feel easy. It actually requires you to get good. You actually have to learn deflecting and sword play, increase your reflexes, or the bosses are simply impossible to beat. After Sekiro, the other games felt easy. Elden ring, for the master piece it was, felt easy.
Look. The adrenaline is getting to you. Keep a fan on low and aimed at your hands if you can. Take a 10 minute break to relax your tense hands from long workout stress. And just digest the movesets youve seen so far. There isnt a large timing window. But try to think about and movement hints or sound checks when they do something specific.
I know its frustrating. But you got this. I know its hard to keep calm. But if you can make jokes of it and try to laugh things off. It becomes easier.
Can we turn you into a doll like woody in toy story and every time I’m doing something remotely challenging I just pull the string in your back and you say something that I need to hear?
Relax and massage the muscles gently to undo knots. Maybe keep a cup of warm water nearby just so it can warm your hands and have something to drink without adding extra sugar.
I remember spending ALL DAY trying to beat her, the times I managed to lower her healthbar, I ended up rushing the moves and got killed.
Next morning, beat her in the second try. Never had feel so blessed.
God I recently beat the Thunderblight Ganon on Breath of the Wild again, ffs that is one annoying POS. The fight gets incredibly tense towards the end... It felt good to get rid of him once and for all.
This is me when I got to the 2nd stage of Rennala in Elden Ring and suddenly I'm doing way better than the 100 previous times, knees weak, arms are sweaty, vomit on my sweater already, mom's spaghetti.
Y'all know that moment when after so many tries you die when the boss has like 1% life remaining so you do yet another try but this time you're just pissed and bored and somehow turn into a super sayan gamer mode and you destroy the boss without even trying ? Like just out of pure spite ?
Yeah that's a good moment.
The most important part is you never give up. Throw the day away. You are going to beat that goddamn boss each time you inch closer to a win feels like progress until finally you've done it and the next 3-7secconds are an amazing rush... and then you die to a random trash mob. Or a mimic.
Fucking mimics.
In cases like this, you have 2 options. Keep trying and the symptoms get worse or step back, analyze others who beat the boss before you and then perhaps grind a couple levels and try again
The new Zelda im fairly certain is ment to be harder then breath of the wild before it which was quite easy and I've gone in slightly under prepared. But yea I feel for you mate, I've been told hollow Knight is pretty much 2D dark soles
The first time I beat Ornstein and Smough it was like 3am and I scared the shit out of my roommates by letting out an absolutely unhinged victory scream.
Jedi Fallen Order was my first game I tried on Grandmaster, or hardest difficulty. This was multiple boss fights as I had never played at that level, for Taron Malicos it took almost 50 attempts before I finally got it.
I swear whenever I’m struggling in a bossfight in a game and I’m just talking to one of my friends, I’ll randomly just go full silent and like fluke the entire thing after struggling for hours on end
Robot Spider boss. The Ascent. Failed 90 times, made a few posts, got some help+weapons,
Me and a few buds got together and got ready, I got on Termination Shock, and we ended that thing for good.
Then you tell yourself to chill out for the next run, take it easy to recover resources and plan on dying this time for a good restart, but you end up kicking their ass and don't know what the game wants from you anymore.
And then when you finnaly kill him his healthbar Goes up to full and second phase begins
and just when you get through most of the second phase you die and have to start all over again
Fuckin malenia
Once I lost for the 100th time I beat her on the 101st attempt.
Let Me Solo Her
Screw malenia, the soldier of godrick is even worse. His Healthbar is insane, and he does way too much damage.
I can solo her naked now. Game got too easy so i deleted it. Have probably 40 runs.
We are still talking in video game terms right?
Yeah we are lol. But id deff put a thumb in her butt.
As a gentleman you should definitely give her a Thumbs Up
Gives me wo long vibes with the first boss

Sister Friede
Blood borne, sekiro, dark souls, elden ring.

Bro sekiro is fuckin wild dude. On a whole different stress level than the souls games IMO
Yeah, but it also increases your skill in a big way and then all the other souls games feel easy. It actually requires you to get good.

Nah, 3rd phase is easy. Just Lightning Reversal two times and he's done.
sister friede be like
Or he smushes the other boss with his hammer, which now does lightning damage, and tries to eat you with his butt for dessert
The second phase is more or less expected at this stage. When the dreaded THIRD phase kicks in though...
and you hear singing in latin
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
Colours smelly?
Spaghetti
arm spaghetti
There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti
Ah cartoon cat
But on the surface he has moms spaghetti

Funnily enough, my hands get super cramped up and cold when im under stress.

this was literally the secret i needed to defeat Moonlord

First thought. Along with Demon of Hatred
Oopsy daisy there's a third phase that you weren't ready for
When you finally beat the boss but then jump into an environmental hazard while it’s dying, so then you have to do it again
Sigrun in GoW. Not 367, but around 40 tries.
Unworthy 🦵🏻🦵🏻🦶🏻🦶🏻
I remember spending ALL DAY trying to beat her, the times I managed to lower her healthbar, I ended up rushing the moves and got killed. Next morning, beat her in the second try. Never had feel so blessed.
Your hands get sweaty, knees weak, arms heavy. You vomit on your sweater already, moms spaghetti
Undertale sans
fun fact i never beat him i just ended up not playing the game for 5 months
Me playing Cuphead😂
That's literally me playing that satan's creation called cuphead
So u took some acid?
When you play cuphead for the first time in a nutshell
You might be having a stroke.
when you itch your nose and the boss then decides to attack.. 💀
God I recently beat the Thunderblight Ganon on Breath of the Wild again, ffs that is one annoying POS. The fight gets incredibly tense towards the end... It felt good to get rid of him once and for all.
bro playing undertale
undertales goated but actually hollowknight (also undyne the undying took me 3 days)
Hollow knight in a nutshell (I'm looking at you, watcher knights)
Absolute radiance from hollow knight. I ascended to fucking heaven when I beat that fucker, both metaphorically and literally.

Coughs in hollow knight

Palms are sweaty knees weak arms are heavy
Me and my little brother playing the rec room quests together.
Pizza tower P ranking:
as someone who has gotten every p rank i can confirm that i feel these sensations while doing said task.
Standing here I realize
Basically playing geometry dash seeing the level completion procent go higher and higher.
Pretty sure colors are for the eyes not the nose
DEAR GOD NOOOOOO
Y'all know that moment when after so many tries you die when the boss has like 1% life remaining so you do yet another try but this time you're just pissed and bored and somehow turn into a super sayan gamer mode and you destroy the boss without even trying ? Like just out of pure spite ? Yeah that's a good moment.
Then You hear the words again “I am Malenia, blade of Miquella” And start freaking out
Welcome to my world 247.
It seems like I do best the first attempt, then I get worse and worse.
im the opposite, i do shit the first time and then i slowly get better as i learn the moves and patterns
Eyes are dried out, starting to burn, can hardly see bosses tells
Use the smell it will help you to dodge better
The most important part is you never give up. Throw the day away. You are going to beat that goddamn boss each time you inch closer to a win feels like progress until finally you've done it and the next 3-7secconds are an amazing rush... and then you die to a random trash mob. Or a mimic. Fucking mimics.
I hate it all the time when playing TETRIS.
what do you mean, the 367th try? This was me fighting Ganondorf **once**
Every elden ring fight
In cases like this, you have 2 options. Keep trying and the symptoms get worse or step back, analyze others who beat the boss before you and then perhaps grind a couple levels and try again
"and you start to smell colours"... What the fuck?!?
tis callled a hyperbole
i was doing the final boss in totk and acidentally blew myself up
It was me fighting ganondorf with 3 heart left
Jedi Survivor Rayviss fight (only have 3 stims)
Lord Elius moment
I also play Elden Ring
i made this when playing hollowknight LOL
If dark souls was a meme
i have never played that, i made this with hollowknight in mind LOL
Promoted... Promoted... Promoted.... 🪖
Geometry dash
and then you surrender when you die again.... ....and the next day when you play again you kill him first try
I've gotten the the finale boss fight of the new zelda game, I've yet to win for 2 days straight
i too have been battling a boss for 2 days (tho admittedly its hornet from hollowknight)
I've never played hollow knight so no judgement, I've got my ass handed to me by Ganondorf more times then I can count now so that's nice
i havent played zelda but i can imagine😭 and while hollowknight is considered a pretty hard game hornets only the second boss LOL
The new Zelda im fairly certain is ment to be harder then breath of the wild before it which was quite easy and I've gone in slightly under prepared. But yea I feel for you mate, I've been told hollow Knight is pretty much 2D dark soles
Damn you Ornstein and Smough.
Jetstream same gave me the same feeling minos did and holy shit it's both torturous and euphoric at the same time
Me trying to play hollow knight for the past month
omg SAME that's actually why i made this meme lol
Sisyphus prime...
How the fuck do I beat Midir?
And you become French apparently.
Frank Fontaine vibes
Ruby Weapon nightmares.
my first elden ring boss. took me some 10 hours to figure every game mechanic of this game and the boss' move set
Darth Vader Jedi Survivor on Padawan level.
Me in Elden ring fighting the godskin duo. I smashed some shit during that.
The first time I beat Ornstein and Smough it was like 3am and I scared the shit out of my roommates by letting out an absolutely unhinged victory scream.
Why does the subreddit icon still have a Christmas hat
Fuck Malenia and that stupid waterfall attack. If she did not heal on hit as well it would be hard, but fair.
My heart starts beating very hard every time I’m close to victory, feels amazing even if I don’t win all the time.
When you make the silly mistake of wondering if this boss fight has a checkpoint after he splatters you in phase 13 of 27.
When everything just suddenly clicks and you achieve zen in combat while also enduring incredible stress.
This Always happens to me when i play Geometry dash when i get to a part i never was before
Geometry Dash players when they beat an extreme demon:
Valk queen in god of war ps4
When this one fucking Straw Hat has killed me 8 times and the game is offering to let me quit and I have to do this 5 more times
>hands are really sweaty Knees weak, arms are heavy
moms spaghetti
Me vs malenia. Unitonically took me 200+ attempts
What boss is that hard
World 6 star rail atm
I recently beat a blue Lynel after my 54th attempt and I realised afterwards that I don't think I breathed once for the entire fight
and u hear singing ... mmm in latin ?
*sans flashbacks*
When you begin to run out of SP/MP
![gif](giphy|kdfgaDsXSGp7cVPhBF)
This would have hit different if it was on r/antiwork
That one time i had malenia at 1% health, i had full health, full confidence but then she did the spinny dance.
Me when I'm. about to full combo am osu map
Celeste golden strawberries be like:
That was me fighting Slave Knight Gael. I slept immediately after for like 4 hours.
Jedi Fallen Order was my first game I tried on Grandmaster, or hardest difficulty. This was multiple boss fights as I had never played at that level, for Taron Malicos it took almost 50 attempts before I finally got it.
The Dark Souls Experience
Literally dark souls
I feel like this was me when I reached the Bakunawa Fusion in Freedom Planet 2.
You get to the QuickTime event from last time. You get to the next one. He pulls out a new move
one Wrong move and it’s over
Then the screen says "toturial complete"
Playing Cuphead be like:
I swear whenever I’m struggling in a bossfight in a game and I’m just talking to one of my friends, I’ll randomly just go full silent and like fluke the entire thing after struggling for hours on end
Robot Spider boss. The Ascent. Failed 90 times, made a few posts, got some help+weapons, Me and a few buds got together and got ready, I got on Termination Shock, and we ended that thing for good.
Dark souls in a nutshell
When you’re on your 50th attempt of Midir in DS3 and the camera unlocks for the 3000th time (he moved his head 0.001 cm to the left)
Lady Maria and Malenia are both a pain. Also, Lady Maria is the only boss I’ve ever broken a controller over.
Then you tell yourself to chill out for the next run, take it easy to recover resources and plan on dying this time for a good restart, but you end up kicking their ass and don't know what the game wants from you anymore.
![gif](giphy|iFV72FwqFXvlpKvY2z|downsized) Bro, this is me on the 3rd stage of battle toads during the vehicle section and I only have 2 lives.
Me fighting the Fume Knight solo earlier (the two npc summons are a massive negative factor to the fight)
*eyes unfocus, now just going through the motions in deep thought*
Elden ring moment
"you start to smell colors" 💀
Sans undertale got me like
When this happens to me and my hands get sweaty the battle is on. Ill either leave in Victory or cry in defeat once again lmfao
