I might hop back on Elden Ring if we find the time to do so. We are still in that Northwest area of the DLC (still no clue what it’s called) and killed that butterfly boss. Next thing on the agenda is probably Messmer since that seems to be the next necessary step. Probably a little more exploration along the way to grab some more Scadutree Fragments.
As iconic as bosses are by themselves, they’re only as good as the boss arena is. What’s your favourite one?
If you’re fighting butterfly lady in the DLC, you’ve been in Rauh! I adore the visuals of that place, just a shame it doesn’t get much in the way of unique enemies. It’s not really a boss arena, so to speak, but that lower area of Rauh you can get to via one of the teleporter gates to fight a divine bird warrior is just gorgeous
I am actually somewhat tempted to offer Capra Demon as my favourite arena, specifically because of how essential it is to the fight. That was the one that taught me, very forcefully, to play fast and aggressive. Lady Maria and her astral clocktower also come to mind though, solely for how cool the light spilling through the clockwork is as a backdrop
