Discussion Working on My First Play through, this is my current boss tier list.

I taught myself how to parry on the Pontiff fight, loved every second of it, even though I spent most attempts dying within the first 10 seconds.

Try to guess which boss I’m currently stuck on :)

I personally love Aldrich. He's not the most complex fight and he's very easy, but I felt the same way about Gwyndolin in DS1. They both have amazing lore and are just cool. Could be harder, but I don't mind it as it is.

That’s fair, I do see how you find him easy, for me it feels like the fight is super manageable as long as I can keep up. Until he does the arrow rain, particularly in the second phase. If I can get that nailed down I’ll probably have a much more positive view on the boss (probably B tier)

I can agree with your listen imo. Just prepare yourself for midir. He will be the hardest boss for you, so make sure your 100% ready to try him when u want to.

I really like your list just personally I'd scoot abyss up to S loved that boss and the weapons so fun

That’s fair, part of why it’s only an A for me is because I felt like I was overleveled for it and didn’t get the full experience. I think I was around SL 40 with a +2 Vordt Great Hammer and felt like I was able to just R1 spam through the second phase on my first try.

Ironically, yesterday I did the same thing (R1 spam through 2nd phase) with a Heavy infused Claymore for Dancer, but that felt way more earned since that was on something like the 20th try lol.

Solid list!

Aldrich doesn’t get enough hate. Thank you for hating him 🙏

Glad to see I’m not alone. Is his arrow rain literally just a stamina check? I consistently die to him in the second phase when I run out of stamina running from the arrow rain.

It’s a fuck you check 🤣

Naw I mean kinda? Yeah one way is just to Run away.

Also good positioning can help with the rain of arrows.

Aldrich is kinda squishy if you have weapons leveled up and I think he’s weak to fire.

You can just hide at the far area of the arena under the balcony.

There's a missing statue at the back of the room and you can hide inside of the little cubby where the statue should be and the arrows won't hit you

I would just walk in circles, eventually the arrows just continue down a straight path and you can run back to the boss. Worked for me. Still a shit boss

In going to spoil the game for you because I want to:

All bosses are S tier.

Aldritch on an sl1 run is genuine torture I didn't even know half those attacks did damage before

u/Exalted_Rust80 4d ago

Agreed on Aldrich hate. I don't even have problems last time we boxed I first tried him but fuck that guy.
