I picked up Eldest Souls a good while ago and decided to finally take the risk I'd done a good while ago. I got to the first Real Boss in the game and decided to put it down purely because of the Dodge mechanic. In Soulslikes, dodging and managing your stamina is a whole thing. The boss I quit at is designed in such a way that you have a Set Way to beat him, not something you can try to work around based on the way you ended up doing things. Watch a playthrough, or do a TAS, if you want to know the lore.
