what's the point of making certain bosses extremely easy to beat?

power fantasy just like when bosses are really hard to beat faggot

I can think of three reasons. One, it makes a memorable boss if it is laughably easy (like pinwheel), but this doesn't work if you do it multiple times. Two, acts as a palate cleanser of sorts?? Three, the most likely reason, its a mistake.

They are gatekeepers. Basicly they only exists to prefent/punish you for getting good shit early, like kindling ritual.
Same with ds2, mage con is a joke until you try go twinking and go for no souls ring.
I dont get why they made Vordt so easy though.

I think From fucked up with Pinwheel. You were supposed to go to the Catacombs early game (before Anor Londo). He was never meant to be a late game boss, so by the time you get to him, you're too OP.

ur mum lol

It’s nice and fun to mix it up

sequence breaking as a design choice

pinwheel is still very easy to beat if you fight him right after getting out of the asylum
>I don't get why they made Vordt so easy though.
he is definitely not easy if it's your first time playing the game

what if the real boss were the skeleton wheels along the way

It was an oversight, you were supposed to explore the catacombs before anor londo, but for some reason the skellingtons were much more difficult than anything before anorlondo.

can confirm. i did a sl1 run on dark souls 1 and the first time i fought vordt he flattened me like 5 times before i got the hang of it. the bloodborne gameplay speed caught me off guard.

Pinwheel wasnt ment to be really easy
He was so easy because he could technically be you’re 2nd boss in the entire game
Fromsoft are retarded and gave him no health just incase someone bothers to go catacombs first

So you can kill him at the start of the game if you want to. It's intentional.

They tend to be gimmick fights, and gimmick fights should be easy for example: Dragon God being a stealth section is super easy compared to the boss that came before it, Flamelurker, because he was a normal straight up boss fight. If Dragon god was difficult then its gimmick would be stretched to thin and make it annoying.

He's a joke because he's based on a Japanese comedy act.

Thats the thing. Pinwheel had a fuckton of damage and can 2 shot a mid game charater, he just dies in a single r1 combo so it doesnt matter

This. Pinwheel is a reward for making it to Pinwheel.

Because a weak boss exists there in the world.

Pinwheel was intended to be fought at a lower level than when most people found him at
The idea was for low-level players to brave a difficult area and then be rewarded with the rite of kindling. I fought him at a low-level during my first playthrough and he was actually a challenge

Is there an equal boss in Sekiro? Moron riding the horse?

>he is definitely not easy if it's your first time playing the game
Except he is? He only got 30% more hp than Index and he goes in afk mode after doing his charges in 2nd phase. And you can get your weapon +3 and level up buncha of times. Hell, he is even weak to dark and strike and guess what mimic drops just before him? Dark axe. That thing can easily 5-7 shot him in sl1.
He can catch you offguard, thats true, but generally you can just sniff his butt and win.

this guy
no idea why he was a boss at all

Why was this asshole the easiest boss in From Games history ?

I've literally never died once to him in all my playthroughs and I'm not even good at these games

Vordt was alright. He wasn't that easy, but knowing the genre will make him much easier than someone having DS3 as his first game. I think he is fitting at that point
Crystal sage, Wolnir, Oceiros, Greatwood and Deacons are much much easier for no particular reason.
Tbf the real challenge is the area before him. If you can pass that the boss should be a formality

If I were retarded I'd say that you need bad bosses to enjoy good ones.

Was he? I lost to him the first time so he's at least a nice begginer's trap.

Pinwheel wasn't a bad boss, just an easy one
Bed of Chaos is a bad boss.

Kek, this nigga actually lost to pinwheel, what a casual, i bet you leveled dex.

I said when it's your first time playing the game
of course he's going to be easy when you know where every piece of loot is and the weaknesses and patterns of every boss after your 30th playthrough

I went full Res

Except his is easy on your first time playing the game
Maybe if that was your first souls game and you didn't have any bearing on how it functioned, but Vordt is piss-easy otherwise

No, I leveled fun. The best stat in the game.

Doesn't Pinwheel duplicate throughout the fight though? New players won't know you can R1 him easily and will be more cautious

Level only strength vigor and stamina with the FAP and wolf ring. Ds1 becomes a cakewalk for every boss at that point

I originally planned to come back to the catacombs once I found a weapon that seemed like it could permakill the skellies because I didn't get far enough to spot the necromancers, but then I never found one until post anal rodeo anywaym

Basically this, they just made the Catacombs too tedious and difficult for early game.

Who are you calling "Pinwheel"?

Not to mention that if you did do it at the supposed intended level and gear strength, you'd have to climb all the way back up because of no warping since most likely you'd have rested at the TotG bonfire
Just poor design all round

Dude what are you talking about? Greatwood gave me hell on my first playthrough. It's REALLY hard if you don't know how to deal with it. And deacons power depends entierly on your weapon. Straight sword - walk in a park. Spear or dagger - literal vietnam.
Oceiros is kinda hard too if you're not using a shield.

i mean he is not as bad as pinwheel but I kinda laughed when I saw how much damage i do to him on my first playthrough
also that retarded sudden music change cracked me up too(I almost died to his charges though).

There is people posting in this thread who actually died to pinwheel.

mage con???

>there are people posting in this thread
Prove it
