I never finished Dark Souls since I spec'd my character slightly wrong for using a black knight sword and didn't know about Havel's ring until after I stopped playing. Was fun, though. Probs wouldn't have stopped playing if other things didn't take up my time.

I booked it to the stairs the instant I saw him charge me. Killed the dogs up there, then proceeded to kick Capra's ass. Easy af, and I was a low level with a broad sword too

well then. I usually had to use the noise distraction spell if I wanted to rek him. He's not very flame resistant to. I can get him now on 1-2 tries but that first run was just brutal.

He's going to change his tune when he gets stuffed up the ass by smough/brogrestein.
Gang raped by the 4-6 kings if he's too slow.
And maybe molested by the bed of chaos.

And if none of these bosses do it for him, some of the lesser bosses have a chance. Every find of mine who's played dark souls has that one boss that's seemingly easy to everybody but hell incarnate, and vice versa, a boss that's hard as shit for everybody and a breeze for you.

It's all a matter of time on what snags him.

i mean yeah, if that's what the game boils down to--just nonstop rolling to avoid attacks and shit--then, yeah
bad game design

Rolling is generally your primary form of agility and fast, directional movement. When you roll in dark souls, there is a brief period of time where you have what people briefly nickname "I frames," short for Invincibility Frames. A very, very short window of no damage that can be done to you.

The first thing you learn in souls is not to spam rolling. Every attack, and every weapon has a different time to it, a different window that you have to avoid things.

It is, for most players, their primary form of protection.

Secondary, is the use of a shield.

And thirdly, for those who have timing down to a precise art, there is parrying, in which case the majority of humanoid enemies you encounter, can be parried, stunned, and then riposted for extra critical damage.

Most, average players utilize rolling the most.

Spells? Huh, I don't have any spells. I've done pretty well for my first run through so far. I solo'd the Gargoyles and made the Taurus demon an hero off the side of the castle in the first 15 seconds of the fight - defeated the asylum demon with a broad sword as well, etc. So far so good, I just have to start playing it again but I've been busy with other things lol
