[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"] why are seath and ceaseless discharge cheap and gimmicky?BrunoBRS

1. Seath: I hit the 'radiating crystal thing' and just whacked him till death. However, he would regenerate his HP if one does not shatter the radiating object before, and he's a pushover, at least on normal difficulty, once you've shattered the said object. That's gimmicky. Forcing the player to 'solve' the boss is gimmicky. 

2. Ceaseless Discharge: I went through the path that meets with another path (the one that leads to the black pyromancy robe set) and stood at the meeting (just in front of big rock/ block). The tip of his appendage lands just in front of it when he slams onto the ground. So in my case I just stood there hit it before he raised it back. Rinse and Repeat. 

Ornstein+Smough fight is what I call a fight that requires thought and reflexes.

Which bosses are "cheap and gimmicky"? :?

I'll give you Bed Of Chaos ( :x ), but Seath and CD were neither cheap or gimmicky in my opinion

I beat the entire game alone too :) it's the best way to play through it first time I think. Really gives you a sense of isolation and hopelessness

The boss that took me the longest/ was most challenging was probably, Four Kings. It was a tough fight.

I don't really think any of the bosses in the game were cheap. even Priscilla was perfectly doable.  And they actually, for the most part, got easier as the game went on. I beat Nito with hardly breaking a sweat, I beat Seath on my second try (took a while to get to him though ebcause I kept dying on the way to him because my controller is screwy), I beat Capra Demon and Twin Gargoyles on my first try, I beat Bed of Chaos on my third try (more of a puzzle really) I beat Pinwheel on my first try.

The game is hugely misconcieved as being impossibly difficult. As long as you take things slow, be cautious and only take risks when you're certain they'll pay off, the game is far from impossible. If you play stupidly, sure, the game is uber tough, but I found it to be highly exaggerated, because it jsut forces you to take your time rather than rushing through.

That being said, Gwyn was also a pretty tough boss. But even then I got a pretty good strategy built around my character and he fel in... Six tries I think?

I'm very interested in the story behind this game.  It looks like it could be a very rich world to play in.

Yeah my strategy consisted of staying jsut at the tip of his sword and only attacking when he tried to grab me or throw me.

I beat the entire game by myself since I'm offline, although I summoned phantoms a few times.
