There’s a way to remove the adds, but they will continue to spawn.
Their hitbox extends to the top of their model and a little above. Not so in many of Eldest Souls' worst fights. While you can’t do so in other 2.5D action RPGs like Hades, the arenas where you fight are usually large enough for you to maneuver around them. The biggest sin Eldest Souls commits with its combat is not allowing you to dodge through bosses. His lore is interesting, but the fight is everything wrong with Eldest Souls' combat and boss design. The Rotting Crown, one of the world’s final and most powerful kings, was exiled to the deepest reaches below the Citadel, where he rotted away, surrounded by the other dead and forgotten experiments. I didn’t like the second boss in the Depths of the Forgotten nearly as much as I did its first, but it was still a much more enjoyable experience than the final boss in the DLC. Once you know what attacks look like, it’s not a huge issue, but the window to actually avoid damage or status effects can be tiny. Her attacks can also cover half the area, forcing you to react to tells with very little leadup.
She can move from one end of her arena to the other in a single step. She applies slow statuses, DoT damage, and other hindrances in addition to being incredibly mobile. She’s no Quelaag, to be sure, and rather than having a sword, her arms are swords.įighting The Rejected Daughter is a different beast than challenging Zylad. The Rejected Daughter, a god-crafting experiment gone wrong, has the lower body of a spider and the upper body of a horrid humanoid woman. The second boss, The Rejected Daughter, continues the trend. Zylad is an excellent opening to the Depths of the Forgotten DLC, as the fight puts Eldest Souls’ best foot forward without tripping over itself. His attacks are easy to read but hit like a truck, and they’re fast but, with a little knowledge, relatively easy to defend. He doesn’t have so much health that one mistake costs you 15 minutes, but he isn’t so squishy that endgame builds can melt him in a few seconds. It’s also visually stunning, from Zylad’s design and the look of his weaponry to his attack animations and their effect on his arena. The fight is fast, frenetic, and rewards aggression better than any other boss in the base game. The first of those is Zylad, Lord of Steel, a master of multiple god-killing weapons imprisoned to keep the world safe, as there are no more gods in need of killing. Good thing that two of the three new bosses are the best in the game by a wide margin. No amount of cool environments, new weapons, or equipment means anything if they aren’t fun to use in the game’s fights. Eldest Souls Depths of the Forgotten Review: The Best is at the BottomĪs a boss rush title, Eldest Souls lives and dies on its boss fights. Some parts of the DLC even exacerbate those issues, turning what could have been a real step forward for Eldest Souls into a fun experience that won’t truly turn heads. Unfortunately, it does not address any of the core problems with the base game.
