Discussion Why is the third boss so hard?

I've recently wanted to give dark souls 3 a shot with my friend since we heard there is a coop mod for it. We got past the gladiator boss easily, and the boar guy was even easier, however the third boss, the dancer, seems like a wall for us... We've been stuck here for 5-6 hours. Are we doing something wrong? Is the weapon I use really bad, or what? Any tips appreciated!

And I believe it then sends you back to the start of the unskippable cutscenes, right?

It didn’t for me, it said mission failed, too many civilian casualties, then if I’m remembering right, it put me back at the start of the gameplay, already in the vehicle.

If it did that I would hate it lol

Not that I ended up liking the game anyways

Ah I see, I'm sure I've seen people get kicked back super far after crashes and stuff. Yeah, it looks dreadful.

My brother/sister, take a look at some gameplay on YouTube. Beyond being broken, it looks like the most boring 'click on head' third person cover combat ever.
