Elden ring!

You can also re-mix your physick to negate damage in the beginning

Yeh, I've been doing that - but it does feel like I've wasted something upfront that could really be useful later.

Sweet jebus, I did it. Blood Sword Lance, and then completely gave up on avoiding anything in favor of the heaviest armour I had and just tanking everything from behind a shield. Made it to phase two without the mimic at all, then seppuku + mimic cheesed phase 2 before he had a chance to do that giant jump into the air for phase 3. Oh, and a rune arc, and the mixed thingie right at the beginning.

Bruh, this shit is offensive to watch after all the time it took me to beat him; like, I knew parrying made things easier, but this is downright insulting to me, and I'd say even FromSoft.

I feel like I did the opposite of a no-damage run. Was more like a "how much damage can I take and still survive" run.

Ah yes, the Rocky 3 finale, I'm quite familiar with it unfortunately as an "unga-bunga" player with no signs of reforming

This is sort of why I don't buy all the reddit guys complaining about this game being too hard in general. There's always going to be some guy who puts out a video like this. Just from the video I learned a couple things to try to save my ass at two points where I typically get my ass handed to me.

Yea, PS5 as well. When people are like getting 5 endings out of one playthrough it just seems unfair.

You can do this on PS5 as well, if you've got PS+, by uploading your saves to the cloud. I've got friends who did it for the base game to platinum it in one playthrough.

Now that I've gotten through the DLC, I feel pretty disappointed at how so many folks are tearing it a new one. Yeah, it's difficult, but it's a From game. Maybe I've not played that many of them, but every one I've encountered had moments where you hit a wall and feel like the game is BS right up until you figure it out and move on. One guy on youtube complained that the fragments forced you to explore the game. ....isn't that the point?
