@krelle and @pnutz83: You both realize that the boss gets more 1.5 times normal HP when you summon 1 and 2 times more HP when you summon 2 players? Not only that but your summons have reduced HP...I don't recall the figure but it is somewhere around 25%.
Technically the bosses are hardest with 2 co-op summons. Having the summons there allows for a little boss aggro juggling that wouldn't be there solo, but there is so much more boss to overcome that if your summons aren't up to it can result in much quicker wipes.
I don't think we should fault Jan for wanting a little help after what 3 or 4 episodes of being roadblocked by one of the hardest bosses in the Soulsborne franchise. I'm pretty sure one of those he died when the boss was at 1-2% HP left...which was basically a solo kill. I don't know, seems a tad harsh, I suppose.
Have you both killed Cursed Defiled Amygdala solo or something?
@cyrusraven: It was the strangest thing. I was out there fighting the thing...lightning...then I was looking at my friend again. Still not sure what happened. But we got the bloody thing taken care of!
