  • Saw this post super late but personally I don’t think the bosses were designed to need spirit ashes. When I use them, it feels like it’s primarily to give me extra openings I wouldn’t otherwise get. At least for me, it doesn’t feel as satisfying, so I only use it for the really obnoxious bosses like the double fights.

    That said, they definitely don’t feel like they’re meant to be done exclusively melee. The game gives you a lot of ranged tools, with spells, incantations, bows, some weapon abilities, and craftable items all being options. A lot of bosses become way harder if you have to be in melee to do damage, especially the giant ones that move around a lot and fuck with the camera. I haven’t used ashes at all in the DLC yet, but if I was going melee only I might have had to on some of the bosses.
