I wouldn't even really call that a cheese. That's just strategy at that point. Well done though. I'm working towards this boss for my second ending, but I honestly did not expect NG+ to get as crazy as it is. All the bosses in the last half are absurdly tanky AF, and I'm currently at Judge Cleric and the Light Reaper, the two tankiest of them all 😅😅😅
Sure, you still have to hit her and dodge her stuff on top of the poison damage but it's far easier this way and have wiggle room to mess up more. I did beat Tancred, Lightreaper and Judge Cleric with this strat too, running away and chugging poison bombs without interacting much (just charge attacking with the Eyeball of Loash when they lunged at me) and that's cheesy af in my book as it takes away from the intended difficult fight 😅
Yeah I didn't perform very well so don't focus on the video too much but on the idea behind it. The point of this strat is that you don't need to take many risks and waste time learning her patterns, just be patient, sit back, focus on evading her and let the DoT do its thing. This has further value when she runs away and attacks you with long range attacks that you must dodge whilst getting whittled down by the AOE DoT at the same time without you interacting. I also stopped poisoning her when she got her reflections out because the copies will heal her if you don't kill them and even then I only killed one of the three (that's how bad you can screw up with this strat and still win). You could potentially keep poisoning her and ignore the copies though, I didn't try that because I killed her at 4th or 5th time so just try it out for yourself. Or just ignore this, learn her patterns, parry her stuff and kill her legit 😅
@AkujinGG I finally beat her today on NG+4 not Long after I commented on your vid. I didn't use the poison strat I was just very patient. 2 things I did learn was if you use the odd stone it will increase your wither and holy resistance by a TON. And also that if you soulflay the copy 2 times in decent succession it will break her posture and you can get a crit attack that DEMOLISHES her health and can usually finish her off then run over and get the critical on elainne. The biggest thing in this fight though is to not get greedy and just be patient. Thank you for the vid and the comment! I really appreciate you taking the time to do both!
@@shawnmiller1432 Damn NG+4? Good job man, that must be rough lol! My idea was to platinum the game so I stayed in NG+1 as you notice a huge difficulty spike from Tancred onwards which would seriously halt progress. And then when I got the platinum they added more achievements with version 1.5 so I had to beat the game again without dying... can't imagine doing that in NG+4, prolly would just start another save lol. Again, nice one!
Poison + Bleed dot makes it so you don't have to play it cleanly to beat her on NG+. I made tons of mistakes and still won so yeah... In fact you can cheese all bosses just running around and poisoning them if you don't feel like wasting time getting gud lol
Bro, if you've got this far on NG+ you can do it. This a fight where you need to memorize her patterns and animations and punish accordingly. Watch other videos where people punish her attacks better. This poison method is just so you dont need to actively attack to win but you still need to recognize her moveset to dodge. Good luck.
Try this on NG +3 lol. Absolutely horrible experience

Nice!!!
Whats sad is she didn't start taking any poison damage till she was about half health and even then it only lasted till she made a close of herself
