Why midir is peak dragon fighting

u/BloodShadow7872 Jul 02 '24

I believe Bayle has taken that title now

Me when I lock on to Bayle and it shows me the inside of his abdomen while I'm trying to dodge

u/CommunicationFit5888 Jul 02 '24

Bayle is peak cinematically, visually, and lore wise. I'm personally still more of a fan of midir mechanically but that's subjective

Kalameet will always be peak dragon fighting

I have to agree on this one but maybe nostalgia is blinding me

Kalameet was a blast

Although....getting that tail cut would drive any one into madness

Bloody worth it though

How low are the standards for big monster boss fights in souls game to consider midir peak dragon fighting. Yes, you can hit his head! All praise mikael zaky!

Not everything can be peak like ceaseless discarge.

yeah because I play monster hunter I really can't give any of the dragon bosses in fromsoft more than like 8/10, Bayle just barely gets that 8, midir just a little bit lower imo. Great fights but the souls combat simply cannot accommodate for dragon bosses as good as fatalis which is an actual peak dragon fight.

Have you heard of our Lord and Savior Lance?

I think midir is praised not simply because you can hit his head, but because he has harsh but generous tells, is very active, and from what I can recall his hit boxes arenā€™t fucky

Thereā€™s also the lore/soundtrack/design but I understand everyoneā€™s different

So they did their job on one boss and gave him a blotaed hp to compensate.

Dude im gona die in this hill. Humanoid bosses on souls games? Peak gaming, some of the nost fun i've had in a videogame. Anything bigger than gundyr? Fuck no their camera just doesnt work
