Trial by fire
mindbleach, Think about it from the boss’s perspective.
Decent armor, impressive sword, applying buffs? Cakewalk.
Bare-ass naked and holding a twig? Ha ha, I’m in danger.
Nacktmull, Roguelite games: Are we a joke to you?

Telodzrum, Seath killing you is a necessary gamestage event in DS1.
sploosh, It’s skippable, but you have to do a jump from the second elevator you ride up that’s extra difficult to get right.
Telodzrum, It messes with the prison and library sequence, or at least it used to IDK if they fixed it in remastered.
A_Very_Big_Fan, True gigachads wrongwarp to the kiln and bypass the archives all together
simple, 
Shoutout to my one friend that had no idea you were supposed to run from Asylum Demon and actually did beat it with the broken short sword
maniclucky, Wait what?!
Zoboomafoo, You get a pretty good drop if you do it, too
Siethron, Ehhhhhh…
By the time you’re able to use it, you’ll have better options
AnarchistArtificer, Oh, I did that too! I did realise part way through that I was meant to flee, but by that point, I’d already spent so much time attacking it that I had committed to my quest.
RealFknNito, 
The embodiment of git gud.

Git gud, mortal
perviouslyiner, Rimworld: you are bleeding and will soon lose consciousness. The only person who can help you has just gone mad. You get to watch the inevitable death for as long as it takes, but you get a good story out of it.
match, 
Also Rimworld: Then, the man in black arrives.
Sylver, The Man in Black is solely there to be a witness to my base burning down
Dagnet, (edited ) You say that but the last fromsoft game had literally the first boss be one you are supposed to die to
EDIT: yep, forgot armored core exists
kitering, I don’t think you’re supposed to die to the AH12?
The_Picard_Maneuver, 
I’m drawing a blank. Wasn’t the first AC6 boss that helicopter?
TigrisMorte, There is an Asheron's Call 6????? I thought they stopped at 2.
sar1n, God i wish
Daft_ish, Will you sign my petition for a asherons call mobile port?
sploosh, They forgot about AC6 and were thinking of the Grafted Scion outside the Chapel of Anticipation in Elden Ring.
The_Picard_Maneuver, I first thought they might have meant Elden Ring, but I completely forgot about Grafted Scion!
“Surely they didn’t mean Tree Sentinel… Maybe something I’m forgetting in AC6?”
Dagnet, yep, I did, thats on me
sploosh, I got you. Demon’s Souls started with a boss you were supposed to die to as well.
Scubus, Is this a joke or is asylum demon not what they’re referring to?
GrammatonCleric, 
Asylum Demon is trash
peopleproblems, You don’t have to die to it.
If you beat it, you walk off the precipice of anticipation and end up in the cave.
Dagnet, Did I say you ‘have’ to die to it? I said supposed to die to

Seeing boss before playing a FromSoft game: “Oh no…”
Seeing boss after beating a FromSoft game: “Come back here and fight, coward!”
