Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree currently has a 'Mixed' status on Steam, with many of the negative reviews complaining that the bosses are too hard [also game's PC performance] (www.pcgamer.com)

I'm replaying the base game (waiting on a sale for the dlc) and I couldn't agree more. I was fighting a bell bearing hunter and they have massive combos they can mix up in the middle and do more hits and when you get the timing PERFECTLY you go do 1 charge attack and you get punished because they already started another combo,you get 1 hit and that's it.

People answering you talk about summons but for these guys you can't even summon your ashes, for some stupid reason the devs decided to limit that feature.

Before anyone tells me to git gud, I already beat the entire game before including a bugged Melania that healed even on missed attacks (she was bugged for some time). I can beat anything in the game but like you said, it's mega boring and slow.

Maybe you and your gear are under leveled for the fight, that is essentially the difficulty selector lol

Im not sure you read my comment but at no point did I say Im getting one shot or doing too little damage. The problem is 90% of the game is you dodging attacks so you can get 1 quick attack, maybe 2, dont even think about a charged strong. When I mentioned summons its only because summons give you opening to be able to actually play the game instead of rolling till infinity.
