Final boss is the most overrated boss difficulty wise.

I have played many souls games, almost all of fromsoft, many others (like lies of P, wukong, etc)

Spoiler ahead, ofcourse.

I have NEVER experienced something like this, ozma was supposed be ‘so difficult’, I saw people here COMPARE it to malenia or even radahn, I was expecting the absolute worst for this boss, so badly that I decided to play the. game as early as 3pm (I usually only play games past 10/11pm)

I thought i’ll play now beat the level and ‘get familiar with ozma before my true attempt at night..

First attempt, got it to 1% hp and the game was ‘buged’ (my input didn’t work to confirm the game as he qas staggered) and got killed afterwards, attempt 2…. Got to phase and got him below 15% hp…

It took me 17 attempts, approx 1 hour I think, and the only reason why it took that many is because of the phase 2 ‘sky’ attack, I could not figure out how to dodge it properly to save my life, I always had 5+ heals left up until then but could never avoid/heal in between lmao.

That aside, 17th attempt It did work out, so then phase 3 happened (true ending) and first tried that entire thing.

What I want to say here is the boss is NOT bad, I have many negative opinions about this game, but some of the bosses somewhat ‘make it ok’ enough, and ozma is one of them, it was a phenominal fight, his moves were amazing and there was no ‘bs’ move, it was all pretty good, BUT why is it overhyped difficulty wise?

I was genuinely expecting some actual difficult fight but it was pretty god damn easy compared to the other bosses, for reference, hismar took me 49 attempts (worst boss fight in all of soulsgames ever, 4 hours of head bashing)

Trokka was 18, rangkus was 36 and both phantom, viper, volbaino also were below 20 but more than ozma, but those numbers were high because I was clueless with the game and little healing etc, I’m seriously curious as to what makes ozma ‘difficult’ ?

I do remember 2/3 attempts with the fight everything went bad so he kept attacking and eventually he spammed (some new) shit that made the fight more annoying, is that why it is considered hard?

The elements weren’t an issue aswell, besides ice being buggy as you can attack his back, from distance and still get rng freeze proc ranging from 10/140% for no reason…

My build for anyone curious was beastslayer dualwield with random attributes mostly stamina regen %, same for the phantom and rings were random aswell I think
