When I beat the first and second major bosses in the DLC I was elated, because it was very challenging, but doable if I played extremely well, and learned what each telegraph meant they were about to do.

Fair enough. But most of the time when I finally beat the bosses it just felt like I found the right spell/weapon and got a bit lucky. I've yet to get that sense of relief and achievement that the earlier games gave me.

I'm just big hammer man, no shirt, light roll, I change nothing about my playstyle for fights besides using a teensy faith to give myself a basic damage nerf for whichever element/type I'm going against if I'm really needing it. But that's how I play the game, I don't go for the most OP build combo because that just takes the fun out of it.

That is how I used to play all the other games. I just stopped having fun with it in Elden Ring.
