The virgin match involved me using a modified version of my go-to group: Hollow (a custom health/stress healer), Jester, Highwayman, and Man-at-Arms. Needless to say I had a few trial matches, going in. Thanks to the patch, this was no longer an option.ĭespite these changes, I presumed the Countess could still be handled without much trouble. In the past, with the right gear and two Men-at-Arms, one could make characters literally unable to be hit, effectively making what should be a very hard boss a very easy boss. It essentially forced me to attack him with a very particular set of characters. Keep in mind, my knowledge of the Baron stemmed from before the Color of Madness update-an update that made sweeping changes to the base game, including the Man-at-Arm's ability to spam Bolster in order to push one's dodge levels through the roof. He had a gimmick that not only removed your ability to heal, but also dragged the fight out. Fighting her was quite possibly the most stressful experience in a game infamous for such moments, and I technically won the fight! I did so by the skin of my teeth, but cannot stress how close this fight was: using a group that was equipped to specifically deal with her resulted in the closest match I've ever experienced.īefore I attacked the Countess, I remembered how tricky the Baron was.
I went into the Countess fight having never fought her, before. To be honest, the Viscount is something of a pushover, but the Baron is not, as I recall.
Here, the bosses are truly tough, to the point that one can't simply muscle through them.
