Being in the zone, utterly focused at defeating glock Sword Saint Isshin. Doing it so many times that trouncing Genichirou pre-Ishin was a given, a warm up even, before going for the main dude.

I remember reaching that point with Isshin, where Genichiro was something I could basically do in my sleep.
Did you do the Elden Ring DLC? If so, how’d you feel about the final boss there? I found that to be the hardest boss they’ve released, more than Isshin or Malenia.

I just finished Elden Ring a few weeks ago so no. Elden Beast was a pita since I was maining rivers of blood and put points into arcane. As you know he’s immune to bleed so I gave up and switch to an occult uchigatana instead using the default skill.
For these types of games I usually take my time and definitely does take me a long time to beat them. Though it’s mostly in spurts. If I feel the itch I can probably blitz through the games pretty quickly. For example I took like a six months break after I encountered Isshin. After that, I beat him after a few tries and proceeded to NG+4 the game to get all the endings and skill PTS to complete all the achievos within a few weeks.
I’ll eventually get around to Shadow of the Erdtree though. Nightreighn on the other hand I’m not sure I’ll play that since it’s multiplayer and seems to be roguelite.

It’s probably a hot take but I think SotE is the best content they’ve ever released. It might be my favourite video game release of all time. The final boss is tough as nails though, or at least was pre-patch. It’s a fair bit easier now but still really hard.
SotE has my three favourite bosses ever, as well as some of my favourite locations ever. I think it’s got their best world design since DS1 too. Most of these are probably not common beliefs but hopefully you like it like I did. It is definitely harder than the base game, but that’s sort of the point of a FromSoft DLC.
