Critic praises Elden Ring's controversial Everdark Augur

Elden Ring Nightreign's new Everdark Augur boss is praised by one critic despite widespread player dissatisfaction. The Augur, also known as Maris, Fathom of Night, is criticized for disrupting the game's buildcrafting and for being a slow, attrition-based fight. However, the critic highlights its spectacular visuals, music, and a surprise weapon mechanic. This boss fight is seen as an example of FromSoftware breaking conventions to create a unique experience, prioritizing surprise and delight over strict adherence to established game systems.
