>>108420872Most guides don't teach you the importance of early stat allocation though if you search for meta builds but every beginner's guide will tell you the importance of Vigor. That being said it's not mandatory for finishing the game I only found out about that when I was on Elden Beast.
>>108420900Sure but Consort Radahn is the exception not the rule, he is a very hard boss with an effective cheese. Some people also considered Midir to be the hardest boss for this reason. Also the older entries have a balance issue in that Ultra heavy weapons have a safe strategy of 1 attack -> Roll while fast weapons have 1-3 attacks -> Roll, but everything in between slow and fast are still relegated to 1 attack -> Roll which skews balance heavily in UGS/GA builds favor.
