Elden Ring - Omenkiller - Review

Omenkiller should be an obvious recognition for SoulsBlood fans with it's clear similarities with the Capra Demon from Dark Souls. The arena is actually really nice this time besides the typical circular or rectangular area we usually see. There's actually elevation and obstacles that could throw you off. Too bad the fight is really bland with very little memorable value in the move set.

The attack I enjoyed the most was the triple slam which allowed a somewhat satisfying opening for me to approach. Apparently this boss is parryable but I wasn't interested at the time of recording due to the amount of parrying in boss fights I already had that were much better fights than this.

I appreciate the call back to the Capra Demon but I feel that the design didn't need improving in my opinion. They kept the annoying aspects of the original design which was increased a step further with the dogs and the attacks. The fight in Dark Souls has it's flaws but it was also designed better in my opinion. This may be an unpopular opinion but I love how small the arena is for the Capra Demon fight and I feel it works beautifully except for the dogs, now that part is just wrong.
