Shoutout to my one friend that had no idea you were supposed to run from Asylum Demon and actually did beat it with the broken short sword

Oh, I did that too! I did realise part way through that I was meant to flee, but by that point, I'd already spent so much time attacking it that I had committed to my quest.

I'm drawing a blank. Wasn't the first AC6 boss that helicopter?

They forgot about AC6 and were thinking of the Grafted Scion outside the Chapel of Anticipation in Elden Ring.

Dagnet@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 2y (1 reply)

yep, I did, thats on me

sploosh@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y

I got you. Demon's Souls started with a boss you were supposed to die to as well.

The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website · 3 pts · 2y

I first thought they might have meant Elden Ring, but I completely forgot about Grafted Scion!

"Surely they didn't mean Tree Sentinel... Maybe something I'm forgetting in AC6?"

Is this a joke or is asylum demon not what they're referring to?

GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Asylum Demon is trash

I don't think you're supposed to die to the AH12?

You don't have to die to it.

If you beat it, you walk off the precipice of anticipation and end up in the cave.

Dagnet@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

Did I say you 'have' to die to it? I said supposed to die to

Seeing boss before playing a FromSoft game: "Oh no..."

Seeing boss after beating a FromSoft game: "Come back here and fight, coward!"

Rimworld: you are bleeding and will soon lose consciousness. The only person who can help you has just gone mad. You get to watch the inevitable death for as long as it takes, but you get a good story out of it.

Also Rimworld: Then, the man in black arrives.

The Man in Black is solely there to be a witness to my base burning down

It's skippable, but you have to do a jump from the second elevator you ride up that's extra difficult to get right.
