Demon Souls Upcoming Action/RPG - Page 33 - Video Games

NG+ is ass blasting me. Thus far it's the hardest NG+ of all the Souls games (and BB). I had heard that it would be so.

I've done NG+ in them all except DS II (which I plan to at some point) and if anything they were all mostly easier than the first playthrough just because of knowledge and gear.

In this game though the enemies in NG+ just do crazy damage. If you take a hit clean or to the back it's like 3/4 of your HP gone. I'm well leveled and geared too. Your stamina also disappears in gigantic chunks on blocks. Hits from bosses seem to take like 90% of it.

It's been forever but I think I had some trouble with maneater. I'm guessing now it wouldn't be so bad having played through all the other games.

Maneater is clunky and RNG dependant. Probably the boss in the whole soulsverse where you will get wildly different perceived feelings of difficulty. I had no problem at all with them when i played but i also got lucky that i fought them in the right place and that their pattern allowed that. Get unlucky and they can screw you over so many times and you will feel that they are really hard.

Yes the Maneaters have this habit of randomly flying away for long periods of time, it's not uncommon to get large stretches where you only have to fight one (or even none) of them.

If they are both after you aggressively the fight is intense, but usually all you gotta do is run away if they are both around and wait for one to buzz off.

This fight was obviously the inspiration for the Bell Gargoyle fight in Dark Souls, which is clearly a far superior version of the same concept.

One on one wasn't bad at all, but I just remember having some problem with them. I think I was a bit under leveled if I remember right...and I didn't do the cheese that I found out later on lol.
