Yup . Sometimes you fight a boss and you die and you feel like you ' re making no progress , but you are . You are learning their movements and patterns whether you are aware of it or not . Then suddenly it becomes easier , and you ' ll wonder why it was hard . Sometimes it takes longer , sometimes shorter , but it really happens ! Part of the best design in the game is the bosses . Whenever I got frustrated with one , and I was done throwing my controller or whatever I tried to tell myself that the game was trying to teach me something , and the boss was how it was doing it . And struggling against the boss was part of the game , and it is very rewarding once you triumph . By the way , what are you wearing ? There ' s a good Hunter ' s set hidden in an outoftheway part of Central Yharnam , and another good set for sale at the Bath Messengers . If you are still wearing your starting gear , it would definitely be worth it farming a few echoes to buy that set . You ' ll hear people say all armor is the same and it ' s all about fashionborne , and that ' s mostly true , except the clothes you start with really are lousy and need to be replaced as soon as you can !
