How did you apply ashes of war to the serpent hunter i can't get apply anything to mine when I try to do that special move you do using the FP while holding it with two hands and my guy just stabs with it how do I actually use the thing
Legit was struggling so hard with this boss to the point that I had advanced to giant land and even haliquetree stuff. This is legit the most straightforward and dark souls newbie friendly guide I have seen for this fight. Others want you to do ridiculous boulder jumps and honestly this makes way more sense. With my high level pearldrake and flamedrake medallions this fight was over so quickly. Thank you so much. this guide was legit my saving grace.
Hello! GG on your victory!! I'm really happy to hear that I could help you. ✅ Thank you for watching and supporting. I have loads more game guides on my channel. I hope you enjoy them!
Another tip that I found ridiculously helpful is upgrade the serpent hunter to +10 (ik this is difficult but if you really are desperate for an easy win then this helps a lot) then also get the lionels armour set. You have enough poise to not get constantly staggered by his lava, this means you can spam the big attacks and do immense damage, you also have really good fire damage resistance with this so consumables are less necessary. I have done this 3 times and gotten through his second phase without him doing the exploding skulls attack. Level up your mind and endurance too so you can keep spamming and maybe bring a physic flask with a cerulean hidden tear for no fp consumption. Get the flamedrake talisman too (+1 if you can) and get the axe talisman for enhanced charge attacks, the winged sword insignia helped I think and if you have a spare slot get the pearldrake talisman (+2 if you reached haligtree before this guy). This guy just becomes the easiest enemy in the game with this setup, haven't died to him once doing this method, you just hold sprint and spam ashes of war, drink if your health is half way just in case of jump attacks and spins and you are fine. Hope this helps someone.
Dude! Thank you so freaking much could barely get him to second phase and watched your video beat him on my like 5th try I really appreciate this video thanks a lot! I have much respect for you and will be following your videos from now on!👍😊
Hey, Kyle! GG on your victory. I'm glad that my video helped you out. Thanks for watching and supporting. There are lots more game guides on my channel if you fancy checking them out. Enjoy.
Great advice. I never even thought of leveling up this sword. It made all the difference and I only leveled it up to +3. Thanks for the help, I was having a really hard time with Rykard and the second form

Same. Completely forgot about this sword because it was weeks after I got it that I finally went to fight him. Stupid thing is, I had already heard about using this sword here, but forgot everything about it and that I even had it all along. Oh well!!
Struggled for 2 days with this boss, took me about 7 attempts with this method. I’ve watched over 6 different methods to help before I came across this one. By far the best one out there if you’re still struggling or new to the game like me.

This was awesome advice! When I first fought him without using this method I kept getting stuck and kept running into the back walls...but I got him first try using this guide thank you so much!
OMG THANK YOU!!! 2 years later and this is still helping people, i died to this guy maybe about 5 times before stumbling across this video. went areound to level up the spear to +6, got the pearldrake +1 talisman, and stayed close and got him first try!
I just have one thing to say. Great video and explanation! I tried a cheese method envolving climbing on top of a rock, the spam skill method, nothing worked. With this tutorial I got it 1st try and I didn't even used all the items only the talismans. tysm this guide helped me so much 2 years later and still works prefectly fine
@@FFG8G I think that if you let rykard focus the mimic and then start spaming it might work. But I really recommend this method, you will do it first try
@@FFG8G I don't even know what that spell is. Sorry. I cannot be of any help with that spell. 🎯 I would guess that you could make anything work, if you put enough time and energy into making it work. ✅
This video was just straight logic all the way through. Spent 10 minutes preparing, 1 minute fighting. I didn't even remember to use my Ashes summon before he was dead. Thats how you kill bosses in Elden Ring. Thanks, really great guide!!
You do not know how grateful I am, I could barely get to the second phase, but thanks to you I defeated him on the first try after watching your tutorial.
Thank god for this! You're a gentleman and a scholar ... tried the L2 second phase, but couldn't ever keep him stun locked. This worked like a champ! Finally killed the bastard.
Best tutorial out there! This is the only way that worked for me. I was able to beat Rykard on the first try after watching this video Thank you very much for this! 🙌💯

Thank you so much for this. He's easy with the mimic, but I wanted to do it the "right" way. All the other guides suggested R2's to stunlock him but I could never make it work. I tried it your way, and it was a piece of cake.

It helps to use the L2 attack once you have the sword leveled up. It pretty much stuns Rykard so you’re able to continuously hit him with the same attack and don’t have to worry about dodging anything
This was a huge help. All the other videos say to use the skill and step side to side to stun lock him. I swear that's patched. Couldn't get that to work at all

Thanks for this tutorial. I fought Rykard about 30 times yesterday and he kept was beating the stuffing out of my mage until I read this." Had to change my style of play to a more in his face tanky style like you demonstrated. Beat him on the second try after that.
Getting under him and whacking did the trick, thanks. Cast summons right before cut-scene, that helped; don't think I got the raining skulls but was too busy to look around.
Hey, Thomas! Yeah, staying in that position is usually quite safe. I'm glad that my video helped you out. Thanks for watching and supporting. There are lots more game guides on my channel if you fancy checking them out. Enjoy.
This worked unbelievably well, thanks! I was dying after just doing a 1/4 damage to the first health bar, and then after watching your video and doing this tactic I destroyed him after just 3 tries! I used the flamedrake +2 and pearldrake +1 talismans, and instead of the consumables for fire damage, i used flame fortification and golden vow. The Serpent Hunter was upgraded to +4. Also, I don't think you have to run from the flaming skulls. I just stayed where I was and didn't get hit. Since you're so close to Rykard, I don't think they can get to you. However I did spam the weapon art when he brought out the skulls to kill him faster, so I can't guarantee that you would never get hit.
TYSM! kept getting cornered when i dodged the skulls and sword combo during second phase, instead of that I couldve just gone straight up in his face (cut) and attacked him Much better than those other guides which tell you to hide behind a rock, I was too worried about the lava to get close lol, but with proper buffs the only thing i had to worry about was the lava canceling my flask animation i was really worried I was going to have to respec and go strength build from my squishy mage, but this helped so much
You're a legend. ✅ Awesome! Thank you! I'm really happy you enjoy my videos. 👍 I saw your comment on my other boss guide as well. Thanks so much for watching!! 🔥
Thanks. This worked a treat. I had seen a couple of other videos that recommended staying back and using the sword’s powers - died time and again. Got it on second try with your strategy.
this video is really helpful , i fight him long range in my first try , it’s really hard .. second try , i try this method and beat him .. thank you so much
I tried an even more budget version of this, and it worked like a charm. My serpent hunter is only +2, and I didn't use any firefroof livers or anything, but the fight was shockingly easy. Thanks for the tip, a year after the fact!
@@Azzavhar literally got him on my first try. This guide made it a cake walk even without everything you had. Also I think using mimic tear makes it easier since it uses the same weapon you are using so you get double the stun power!
Was just getting slaughtered on the second phase even having leveled up the sword. With this approach I just walked right up and poked him to death the first try with 2 potions. Thanks
Took me an hour to beat him but worth it. I generally come to watch these videos after defeating them so that I can see the approach people make against certain move. This guy just made it look so easy. Well done 👏
@@Azzavharwhy does he always jump away in the 2nd phase? I easily get through the first phase but if I get to the second phase he just keeps jumping away

You can actually use mimic tear with the spear, as long as you upgrade the mimic tear a bit the fight is super easy.
nice one! yeah, so you have 2 of the spears both jabbing away. Nice one!

Hey, Thomas! Yeah, staying in that position is usually quite safe. I'm glad that my video helped you out. Thanks for watching and supporting.
There are lots more game guides on my channel if you fancy checking them out. Enjoy.
2jahre später und die Taktik funktioniert immer noch First try das ist Crazy danke
Hey. No worries. Glad I could help you with Rykard. Thank you for watching.
by far the best strategy i have ever used did this and literally killed him my first try i love u man
No worries. Happy I could help.
@@Azzavhar ur amazing dawg

This worked unbelievably well, thanks! I was dying after just doing a 1/4 damage to the first health bar, and then after watching your video and doing this tactic I destroyed him after just 3 tries!
I used the flamedrake +2 and pearldrake +1 talismans, and instead of the consumables for fire damage, i used flame fortification and golden vow. The Serpent Hunter was upgraded to +4. Also, I don't think you have to run from the flaming skulls. I just stayed where I was and didn't get hit. Since you're so close to Rykard, I don't think they can get to you. However I did spam the weapon art when he brought out the skulls to kill him faster, so I can't guarantee that you would never get hit.
Hey. Brilliant work. Sounds good. Glad I could help you. Thank you for watching.
Thank you! I struggle with autism and this really helped me!

Struggled on this boss for ages watched this vid beat him second go lol your the man
Hey. Brilliant. Glad I could help you. Thank you for watching.
still works, really saved me a lot of time
Hey. Awesome news! Glad I could help you with this boss. Thank you for watching.
Jump attacks do a really good amount of damage, if you combo that with the heavy attack talisman you can do 3k in one hit
Nice one. Yeah jumping heavy attacks are great for stance breaking. 👍
Bro thank you I’ve been struggling. Thank you for this video cause after I watch it I beat him first try truly helpful
Hey. Yeah, this method works like a charm; I use it every time. Glad I could help you. Thank you for watching.
Thanks for the guide. I wasn't able to do this as a mage. You saved my sanity. Subbed and liked.
Glad I could help. Thanks so much 😁 ⭐ 🔥
TYSM!
kept getting cornered when i dodged the skulls and sword combo during second phase, instead of that I couldve just gone straight up in his face (cut) and attacked him
Much better than those other guides which tell you to hide behind a rock, I was too worried about the lava to get close lol, but with proper buffs the only thing i had to worry about was the lava canceling my flask animation
i was really worried I was going to have to respec and go strength build from my squishy mage, but this helped so much
Excellent 👍 I'm glad the lava strategy is still working well. ✅ Thank you for watching
Excellent video! Demolished both phases and only used 4 flasks!
Hey. Awesome! No worries. Glad I could help you. Thank you for watching.
Thanks so much for the guide. I was struggling so much to even get the first phase of Rykard to half health but using this method I beat him 3rd try.
Hey. Cool, cool. No worries. Glad I could help you. Thank you for watching.
MY BROTHER I HAVE HEEN STRUGGLING FOR HOURS ON THIS AND I GOT THIS FIRST TRY AFTER WATCHING THIS THANK YOU MY MAN YOU ARE A GENTLEMAN AND A SCHOLAR
Hey. No worries. Glad I could help you. Thank you for watching.
Followed your instructions and beat Rykard on my first try and this is my fifth playthrough of ER. Thank you!
Hey. No worries. Glad I could help you. Thank you for watching.
rykard made me go from feeling like the hero to being a victum when he summoned all those skulls
Hey. Keep fighting on. You got this. Thank you for watching.
I'm from America and love your videos, bro. I get the GOT feeling with your accent. Lol Another great one. I appreciate it!
You're a legend. ✅ Awesome! Thank you! I'm really happy you enjoy my videos. 👍 I saw your comment on my other boss guide as well. Thanks so much for watching!! 🔥
thanks for this! I managed to kill him without triggering the skulls attack, but I used mimic tear instead
Hey. Awesome work. My pleasure. Glad I could help you. Thank you for watching.
Thanks. This worked a treat. I had seen a couple of other videos that recommended staying back and using the sword’s powers - died time and again. Got it on second try with your strategy.
Excellent news. I'm really happy that I could help you. ✅👍
The mimic is what i needed it makes the first phase a breeze. so you can have enough health pots for the second. thanks
Hey. You are welcome. Glad I could help you with this boss battle. Thank you for watching.
Thank you for simply reminding me of the Serpent Hunter during new game +
Hey. You are very welcome. Good luck. Thank you for watching.
Thank you so much....would have not have done without your help.....great upload:)
Hey. You're welcome Glad I could help you with Rykard. Thank you for watching.
this video is really helpful , i fight him long range in my first try , it’s really hard .. second try , i try this method and beat him .. thank you so much
Hey. No worries. Glad I could help you with the Rykard battle. Thank you for watching.
Boss is laughably easy with this. I thought I had to stay away from the lava. Thanks so much for the awesome guide.
Hey. No worries. Glad I could help you with Rykard. Thank you for watching.
I tried an even more budget version of this, and it worked like a charm. My serpent hunter is only +2, and I didn't use any firefroof livers or anything, but the fight was shockingly easy. Thanks for the tip, a year after the fact!
Hey. Awesome work. Glad I could help you. Thank you for watching.
Thank you sooo much for this!!! I can't tell you how helpful this was as I was stuck on this sucker forever!
Hey 👋 No worries. Glad I could help you. There are a lot more videos on my channel. Enjoy. ✅✅

Hey 👋 That's awesome. No worries. I'm happy to help you. Thank you for watching 😁 ✅
bro you're a legend it works, tysmmmm!!!!
You're welcome! Happy I could help you 😁 ✨
Best guide. Helped alot😁
Hey. Excellent news! Glad I could help you. Thank you for watching.
This worked amazingly well thanks!
Hey. No worries. Glad I could help you with this boss fight. Thank you for watching.
@@Azzavhar literally got him on my first try. This guide made it a cake walk even without everything you had. Also I think using mimic tear makes it easier since it uses the same weapon you are using so you get double the stun power!
@@aidenarkus Nice work. Mimic Tear sounds like a good plan. 😁 Awesome 👍
I struggled with this. Right after I watched your video I beat him in my first try
Hey 👋 I'm happy I could help you. I have hundreds of boss guides that will help you win many boss fights. ✅ Enjoy. 👍
Thank you, this was the only one that really helped me
No worries. Glad I could help you. Thank you for watching.
Was just getting slaughtered on the second phase even having leveled up the sword. With this approach I just walked right up and poked him to death the first try with 2 potions. Thanks
Hey, Matt That's amazing news. well done. You may also enjoy my Elden Ring boss guides: ua-cam.com/play/PLqpGk7JGu_zyv3EM2OEFBeydZG7B3Ya_A.html
Took me an hour to beat him but worth it. I generally come to watch these videos after defeating them so that I can see the approach people make against certain move. This guy just made it look so easy. Well done 👏
Hey. Great work on beating this boss. No worries. Glad I could show you this strategy. Thank you for watching.
@@Azzavharwhy does he always jump away in the 2nd phase? I easily get through the first phase but if I get to the second phase he just keeps jumping away
@@dejanlening3292 He sometimes jumps away more often and sometimes less often. Sometimes it is just the luck of the draw. 🍀
Best guide... Staying close is the trick... Defeated him first try... Just two hand the weapon and charge slash and thatts it
Hey. Brilliant news! Glad I could help you with Rykard. Thank you for watching.
I upgraded the weapon to +9 and I don't think I've ever beaten a boss as fast as I did this one. Thanks for this guide!
Hey. No worries. Glad I could help you. Thank you for watching.
Wow thanks I struggled because I was staying very far back and charging the sword but beat this first try with this!
Hey. No worries. Glad I could help you with the Rykard battle. Thank you for watching.
Appreciate the video! I was finally able to beat him with your tutorial
Hey. No worries. Glad I could help you with Rykard. Thank you for watching.
The first phase is easy asf, then the second phase reminded me what game I was playing.
Hey. Yeah this battle can be really tough. Hope my video helped you. Thank you for watching.
@@Azzavhar It helped a lot actually, I didn’t think the serpent hunter would be that effective tbh. Sounds dumb but you probably saved me hours.
@@that_guy55 Excellent. Glad I could help you. ✅ Good luck and have fun. 👍
Got it on 2nd try after seeing your guide! Thanks man! 🤝🏼
Hey. Great work! Glad I could help you. Thank you for watching.
