Completing Video Games

I never got the bow method to work. It seemed like he always just jumped forward and began the murdering before I could make a serious dent. I stood near the top of the stairs; as far away as I could be while still having an angle on him.

The problem is that my build was based around faith/melee, which normally destroys practically anything the game throws at me, except for this one boss, because of his resistance to magic damage and tough melee attacks (not to mention the level-drain punch).

Yeah the punch sucked. Lost like 5 soul levels from that encounter alone. But if you are magic based try fire magic if you have that, that is his weakest of all resistances even physical.

The white bow method is just to whittle him down, not kill him. Only reason the fire bow doesn't work is cause of range.

But if anything you can always grind out souls like I did and just stomp him since you have the better raw stats.

You misunderstand: faith doesn't have offensive spells. I have some healing and defensive spells, but my offensive power comes from my weapon, which has been upgraded so as to deal magic damage that increases with my faith stat. Basically, my issue is crippling over-specialization, though the sheer damage output has been enough to steamroll most enemies, magic-resistant or not.

I think grinding is the best option, which sucks, because I absolutely loathe grinding.

Oh dear, time for my gaming list of shame
The games I haven't completed are;

Zelda: Skyward Sword
All 3 Mass Effects
Neverwinter Nights 2
Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs
The World Ends with You
Persona P3P
Etrian Odyssey 3
Pokemon Black (there's a few pokemon I'm missing from my in-box pokedex)

I should really get round to playing all of these but I've been trying to catch up on all the anime I've missed, and all the books I need to read...There's just so much to do :')

I finish everything to the point where I can say "That is what the game experience was". If I really like the game, I'll go for 100%, if I don't, I'll probably leave it at that. In some cases though, ironically it's the mindless flag-collecting and achievement-gathering after the main game that turns me off the game, Assassin's Creed and MGS4 spring to mind.

outta the 34 ps3 games I own I havn't beaten:

Hunted - Need I say more
Twisted Metal - Its just not the same stopped at the stupid fucking 2x juggernaut dollfa mission
Final Fantasy 13 - I'll never buy a FF game again
Fallout new vegas - main story line due to stupid fucking casino + companion gun bugs (now to get my guns back of rex OH they aren't there well I'll just load my file huh auto saved as soon as I left hmmm my actual save files last save was 6 hours ago well fuck think I'll play something else and smoke)

The other thirty I beat the shit out of I don't see the point in paying 60+ bucks a pop and NOT beating the game thats like getting a ticket to the movies and leaving half way through.
