Most of the bosses in Demon's/Dark Souls have some sort of weakness that makes them a pushover.
I tried taking on the False King head-on in melee combat; didn't work out. But you can tiptoe up the stairs, cast Poison Cloud on him from behind, tiptoe back down, wait for the poison to wear off, and repeat till he's dead. Leechmonger, I remember, you could spam fire arrows from the ledge where you first enter the room and he'd go down quickly, never touching you. Dark Souls was better about this, but the Ceaseless Discharge fight has a little inlet in the rock where he can't reach you, but his arm glitches through the rock, so you can chip away at his health. And when I started New Game +, bosses that had been huge challenges the first time around went down with one or two castings of Homing Crystal Soulmass.Andrewtheeviscerator said:Final boss of Demon Souls, The True King (don't remember his name) was hilariously easy considering how hard the actual game is.
