UPDATE 8/27: Here is the video of when I first met Shroud and the trials and tribulations of figuring out it was the worst boss fight ever. Based on my experience, I would say co-op play is a requirement to have any long-term fun in this game. I should add that the game seems to have been designed to be played cooperatively with others. Now I’m very happy I didn’t pay any money for it. I was starting to get into the game and enjoy myself until I hit this boss. ![]() But I have no interest in replaying the first bits. I suppose I could backtrack and farm materials to upgrade my weapons for hours and hours and hours. Not a feeling I strive for in games or in life. It’s going to be a feeling of staggering across a finish line after a punishing marathon in the blazing heat. Ain’t nobody got time for that.Įven if I do manage to kill this boss, it’s not going to be a feeling of patting myself on the back for my cleverness in solving an intellectual puzzle, as is usually the case with a Souls boss. “Just keep moving and you’ll take down this boss in no time!” the guides cheerily say. This is the right place, and the strategy I sussed out is the correct one. Surely there must be some hidden vulnerability. Surely I must have gone the wrong way and hit an area that was too hard for my level or something. I did some Googling to see what I was missing, because surely I must have been missing something. But seriously, Shroud is not good boss fight design. I hate to be one of those players that shouts “that’s not good boss fight design!” Because most people who say that just don’t want to put in the work to beat a boss. Yeah, Shroud’s health constantly regenerates. Oh, did I mention his health regenerates? Forgot to mention that. The longest I’ve lasted so far is around four or five minutes, and I was not even able to get Shroud’s health down to the first tick mark on his health bar, of which there are four. At any time, an unlucky combination of events could result in your death in seconds, at which point you start over. The most effective strategy I’ve come up with is: Run constantly and take a shot or two at Shroud on those rare occasions when you can see him to hit him. Oh, and Shroud has an army of spawning adds that magically appear and harass you constantly. ![]() Shroud causes a bleeding effect if you have the misfortune of being hit.

The combat has been taxing at times, but after some adjustments in tactics, easily overcome. I chose “Hard” difficulty because I’m a Souls veteran. I got to the first boss fight (Shroud) and I’m ready to uninstall the game forever now. And That’s It For Remnant: From The Ashes Next: And We’re Back In Remnant: From The Ashes.
