This applies to Dark Souls in 99% of the cases, the Bed of Chaos for instance being one of the 1%
Dark Souls II however is just riddled with ********

the bed of chaos is not hard

He isn't particularly hard, he's artificially difficult, meaning any challenge that he poses is due to ********

I thought one of the hardest parts of the game was the Four Kings. But, I'm on my second playthrough, and I haven't gotten to the Bed of Chaos for a second time yet.

On my first NG+ I found the four Kings extremely difficult, but at least Seath will forever be the easiest Great Soul.

Relative to how strong your character should be to get to him, he's probably one of the easiest in the game.

here is a guide on how to defeat the 4 kings

step one: equip painting guardian set
step two: attack.

>Painting Guardian
>Not Witch Beatrice set for safety strats

C'mon man, I like challenge, not suicide.

panting ninja armor is enough to turn the entire fight into a joke.there is literally no reason to get anything else.

just about all of their attacks deal magic dmg and painting guardian set has very high magic res as well as being light armor. easy peasy lemon squeezy.


if you cant beat them easily while wearing painting guardian set then you need to git gud.

Or you could tank it up with havels. I didnt know about the painting guardians set. After dying loads of ******* times. Wore havels tool every hit and kicked ass. Fat rolling was a dick though

no thanks.

id rather have my fast rolls rather than being over emcumbered. plus havels set only has marginally more magic defense than painting set.

It's not that the Bed of Chaos is hard per se, it's just that the entire fight is artificially difficult

The only artificial difficulty I felt in the Four Kings fight was that stupid ass ******** homing missile thing.

Those can be dodged with little difficulty
The massive hands of the Bed of Chaos on the other hand, not so much.

******* how? I'd dodge them pretty easily, but they'd curve back around and hit me, and no matter how many times I dodged, they just kept going until I took the hit.

better timing bro.
other than that, just get high magic resist armor and a good dps weapon and rush them down as fast as you can.

Never had issues with them curving back, really
Besides, you should be wearing a ton of armor either way for the fight, so it's not like they'll hit hard

I was wearing silver knight leggings and armor. I wanted to avoid fat rolling.

Then you'd be taking a fair blow, especially if you hadn't upgraded them

Only to +1. What mid-late game armor do you normally use?
