Mike Hock im gonna use this idea , what makes it more annoying is that the game creators made it that you have to do this to get the tail and yet they allow CLIPPING OF ALL THINGS to actually stop you from doing it in mid fight. Grimy as shit for them to do that.
This boss is a joke, so I kept dying on purpose cuz I couldn't get the fucking tail cut. Only for me to as you guys said it was the tip. Coming from farknsouls remastered x.x.
Pyromancy doesn't scale with stats in Dark Souls 1, it just scales with how upgraded the flame is. As you can probably imagine, pyromancy was OP for Soul Level 1 runs in Dark Souls 1.
igor hinokuma You can make it with a +10 shield, a few thousand souls and the soul of the moonlight butterfly. You have to talk to the giant blacksmith in anor londo to make it.
@HippyManPL If you really want that achievement, I believe it's transferable between characters. Meaning, if you start a new character and fight NG Seath, cut off his tail there, it should count towards the rare weapons.
Wow thanks for this vid, never knew Pyromancy would work so well, just ran my lvl 17 mage in and blasted tail off, half killed him doing it, failed to finish him off but still a win i think
It works like stun in the game in that you have to deliver as much damage in as short a time as possible. So either lots of attacks from a small weapon (bleed helps I think, though I'm not sure) or 2-3 heavy attacks from a heavy weapon.
@d123420 You have to hit the very tip of his center-most tail for it to count against his tail health, just like Priscilla's. That is more than likely your problem. If you hit the base or anywhere else it only counts against his main health. If you can, just use a weapon with a large horizontal slice. I was using a Great Scythe+15 and it's two-handed R2 made sure I never missed the tip. I got it after 4 swings.
I tried this on my first playthrough and NG+ and I could never cut it off. I went at it with a Lightning Dark Sword+5, Black Knight Sword, Greataxe, Greatsword, Greatsword of Artorias, Dragon Greatsword and Axe, and I couldn't cut it off...
Pro tip, you want it EASIER? Wait for him to get close then destroy the ice protecting him. Now you have extra time to cut the tail. I did it with soul spear and aimed for the very tip. After the first try it worked like a charm.
Right there at 5:35, if he would have just followed him as he was turning, the battle would have been over. He can't really hit you when you are there, because he's too busy turning to try and face you. As long as you follow the 'fin', he'll keep trying to turn and you can keep hitting him with absolute minimal risk of getting hit yourself. Cakewalk fight. Hard part is getting that damn tail.
@commanderp69 when you skip to te part where he uses combustion you can tell the glove looks different, so its acsended. The club is elemental so its pure physical and lightning damage the doesnt scale. As for the ring shield, this was pre patch before it was nerfed.
@TheLastTwinky No. I would have been using daggers for that. However, that gives me an idea to make him when I get bored with my current character... Plus, the character in that video is female; it's pretty hard to make a nice looking female character.
@TheShammyShammy Not every dragon died in the war vs the Gods. 3 survived: -Seath -Gaptoth Dragon (but went mad, like the creators said) -Stone Dragon But still, i think its nice to see different designs of dragons like Tuska68 said
Crystal Ring Shield. It's a boss weapon. You need a +10 shield, Moonlight Butterfly Soul, and 5000 Souls. Also, can only be done with Giant Blacksmith in Anor Londo. Upgrades with Demon Titanite.
You can indeed beat the whole game at SL1 once you are experienced enough. But also you can skip parts of the game in the beginning. For example, the first boss on the bridge, the moonlight butterfly in the forest, the caper demon in undead parish area, the gaping dragon in the depths can ALL be skipped. The only essential bosses are those required to ring the two bells (gargoyle and queelag) and all the lord soul bosses you offer to the altar (4 kings, seath the scaleless, nito, bed of chaos)
The reason why he is lvl 15 yet can fight on par with this guy is more than likely due to maxed equipment. The shield he is using is the Crystal Ring Shield, made from using the Butterfly's soul and a +10 small shield. Just FYI for those asking the questions. :)
I have the location memorized by feel, not by sight. I can find it myself, but not give directions. I found it by watching a video walk through. Eagle shield is a damn good piece of equipment. You can use it unupgraded to spar with Sif, and none of his ground attacks will break your block.
I had that problem, you have to actually hit the tip. I noticed that when I was trying to cut it off, I was hitting too close to his body, hit the white part of his tail, the part with no crystals on it. Don't use those weak weapons, use something like the Black Knight GreatAxe, I know you probably got it already, but insight for other people.
That shield was nerfed after patch 1.05 so it doesn't do that much damage anymore. It used to be based on your Right Hand weapons dmg. Now it just does a base of 150-200 damage so it is now useless.
Depends on what you wanna do. I play my pvp sorcerer with the moonlight gs because it's a just awesome int weapon with a homing range attack on 2handed r2 - when you shot all your spells and the enemy thinks he can just rush on you, the moonlight gs is perfect for holding him on distance
I know this is an old as he comment but if you haven't found out yet or still care your SL (or soul level) is how many souls you've gained over the entire game (no matter if they went into buying, leveling up, or you just perma-lost them) but level is just your characters level. Ive only ever noticed it in dark souls 2 where its used for matchmaking
this game made me really sad, i bought this game cus i think i was hardcore enough to finish it but slowly im starting to doubt my hardcore ness, im still playing it but also slowly loosing furnitures....
I've always thought the tail cut to get weapons was bs. It makes somewhat easy fights into a pain in the damn ass. Like kalameet. Not a super hard or drawn out fight. Until you try and get his tail weapon solo. That that shit takes FOREVER and is a bigger pain in the ass than a dick that's 100 times to big for the hole it's going in.
i've seen dragon head glitching in pvp recently (few days ago). he even defeated me with it because it was like force pulsating until i was knocked off the egde. (not tomention he was doing the drgn head action but no fire was coming out.)
easiest way is to summon phantom(s) and have them wait at the begin so they spawn at seath's tail in the beginning of the boss battle, but this is much more precise
For all those who gave a like to this guy, don't act like all of you were capable of beating the game on SL1, you need to have real mad skills to accomplish that.
I did it 1 hour ago... I tried this tactic, then a few another ones with pyromancy, and the last one (which worked) was: 2 chaos firebolts with pyromany flame +5 and 2 hit with the snake sword +10.
Here is how you do it. Do it in NG so you have some souls/experience/good weapons and make sure you choose master key as your gift item. As soon as you are in Lordran, use the master key to open the door where Havel is. Kill him and take the path up to where Andre the blacksmith is. Buy the Crest of Artorias, kill the gargoyles then go back to the forest and kill Sif. Then travel back to Firelink, descent into the depths via Valley of drakes area, kill Queelag in Blighttown and voila! :)
thanks mate i got it :D I am dragonslayer spear away from platinumtrophy and i dont have ornsteins soul. I have allways killed ornstein first without thinking because I never thought i could get even near the platinum. Now on NG++ nito and gwyn to go. Is it possible to borrow weapons from a friend or do i have to beat them fourth time?
If this is your first character, delete it or save it for later. You need to start your first character with the master key gift. Nobody enters Blighttown through the depths unless it's a quick run for the Eagle Shield/Iato/Shadow Set, or they're in the mood to blow a good hour getting to the swamp. Get the master key, use the entrance through New Londo. Once you reach the swamp: Bonfire is to your left, boss room to your right.
@91Turles Gaping dragon was an ancient descendant. Hes not mad, hes just an old fuck who was mutated due to all the waste in the sewers. And the stone dragon is the only Non-deformed-non-insane one that was left alive. And lore-wise, Seathe and Gaping were killed by the player. So he IS the only one alive now.
+AShadowyKindaGuy Dispite the fact that would make complete sense, it would be completely op, and basically make one of the four lord's, the easiest boss on the game probabily, so it could not go to the game
+AShadowyKindaGuy In my experience, that's just a rumor and doesn't actually work. Seath seemed to have no problem tracking me when I used slumbering, No matter how hard I tried to avoid coming in physical contact with him (So as not to reveal my location) he still managed to turn in my general direction every time I tried to circle him. It doesn't work.
I also heard a rumor that using the ring for silence would confuse seath. The reality is he knows where you are as soon as you touch him and other than that he seems to use attacks randomly. Which can make the whole experience less predictable.
This is true, ONLY start a soul level one build once you are experienced enough, even then it is incredibly difficult. And as I mentioned above, you can skip the entire beginning of the game too :) which is only recommended for experienced players also. Jolly cooperation guys, dont use Dark Souls to put others down or think highly of yourself. Be humble and respectful and help others.
@gastonie Its possible. Focus on gear instead of lvling your toon. You'll be able to handle lots of mobs that way. Just do remember that you may die in like 1 or 2 hits lol
Who knew that a simple spell could do the trick. I was getting so frustrated with this, but I watched this video and in a few tries, with good RNG, and I cut off his tail.
Finally, done. With fully upgraded Silver Knight Straight Sword I was able to deal enough damage quickly enough at the right spot. The boss fight is a joke, getting the Moonlight GS is a pain in the ass.
Decent equipment makes this game that much more bearable. A person with soul level of 70ish with only basic equips (elite knight+6/ gold hemmed+3) will probably have a tougher time than a soul level 20-ish with silver knight set/ havel set and op rings (havel ring and darkwood grain). All in all, invest in equipment upgrading.
you cant think to do it with a spear or a drake sword, use a lightning washing pole, personally on NG+ i know 2 hits from a +10 washing pole with sunlight blade will cut it off...
After slicing the tale off.... finish seathe but make sure the sliced tale won't or didn't glitch out through the wall(making it unobtainable) cause you have to pull the sword out from it. Man they should make the strategy guide easy to 'get' like that.
Thanks for the vid, I was just checking to see how easy/hard it was to get that moonlight greatsword. I'm on NG+ so it might be hard, anyways nice stats..(sarcasm)
His gear is: Maiden Hood Silver Knight Armor Silver Knight Gauntlets Maiden Skirt Reinforced Club/Ascended Pyromancy Flame Hollow Soldier Shield/Chrystal Ring Shield
Very impressive fight!!! Was that your ng+ ?!?!? (since you are only lvl 15....!!!) Could you share your load out? I am interested in what armor you used... (they look pretty cool!) Also, what lvl of pyromancy are you? I haven't fought Seath yet... and I'm trying to decide how I am gonna cut off his tail... looks like pyromancy is pretty effective....!
This video is a good example how to not get multiple tail hits lol Just like the fight with Gaping Dragon when dismembering his tail you have to time your swings to get consistent hits.
Guys u can only get his tail weapon second play threw of the game... I cut his middle tail off usin the black knight sword took about 6 swings just take ur time and u have to hit his tail in the right spot im in my second play threw now so i should get it i just beat the DLC love this game so much
same here...black knight albard +5 already try 8 times, even with 2 handed atacks, he always run with the tail into the wall, i dont want to kill it before get the sword -.-
I CAN beat the whole game by only punching, that doesn't mean it's a good idea. Levelling helps you access weapons and increases your damage on weapons with stat scaling. So no, levelling actually is extremely useful, to a certain point. Past SL 125 there's really no point as the cost to do so outweighs any potential bonuses left.
Bro no offese but that was probably the longest Seath fight i've seen, I know ur underleveled but he's Really easy, I ususally finish him in 2 minutes with him barely touching me once, I only have trouble with his tail, so thanx for the tip
No you don't. Just a bit of doding. Chaos reinforced club +5 deals enough damage, so only thing you have to worry about is enemies oneshotting you. If you can dodge well it is easy.
Actually, if you hold onto stuff and manage not to die to often you can end up having millions of souls and ninenty nine usable humanities easily. For example: I'm on NG++ and i get 200K souls from most bosses. After a certain point you can get that many pretty damn easily.

![DARK SOULS - Seath - Cut off tail [SOLO]](/img/tr.png)
one does not simply walk in a boss fight with 17 humanity and 113k souls
Haha 9 years ago, but I farm 99 right off the bat, it boosts your defense ridiculously
That does not excuse the sin that is bringing 113 thousand souls to a boss fight
@@chickenstrippa not just a sin it's a death sentence
I would never risk that many souls Lmao😂
The only thing that made this boss even remotely hard was trying to cut his freaking tail.
i was more happy about cutting off his tail than killing him, the black knight glaive made it easier.
I wish you can then transition to the cutscene about the guiding moonlight and true mentor (not sure which DS game that cutscene is from maybe DS2).
Bloodborne.....
I only managed it on my 4th playthrough 🤬
I failed at that, ended killing him in the end.
I have run this boss so many times...I can kill him easily, but I cannot for the life of me get that tail to break
Being a sorcerer is cancer in this fight, but the sword he drops is literally sorcerer's wet dream
Ikr. Cannot for the life of me get his tail to break with my current spec
@@blitzkrieg719 I had to throw on pyro flame and use GC to break it. Was annoying though because his tail id constantly in the wall.
Mike Hock im gonna use this idea , what makes it more annoying is that the game creators made it that you have to do this to get the tail and yet they allow CLIPPING OF ALL THINGS to actually stop you from doing it in mid fight. Grimy as shit for them to do that.
Really? You have cut the very tippy top? I was hitting the base of his tail so hard I killed him.
same, it sucked
+Willian Henrique i cri everytim
I just want to die, I did the very same thing and now I have to go through the game again to get it :(
This boss is a joke, so I kept dying on purpose cuz I couldn't get the fucking tail cut. Only for me to as you guys said it was the tip. Coming from farknsouls remastered x.x.
Same and it fucking sucks
on the recent update, you'll receive the sword right after cutting it's tail so no need to chase the flappy thing when seath toss it around the room.
"Once he charges his pew pew laser beams" lol
LOVE IT!XD
Accidently killed him trying to get the sword ;-; see you in ng+7 I guess
>Level 15
u wot
So pro

Doctor Bagels what is this cringe?
Pyromancy doesn't scale with stats in Dark Souls 1, it just scales with how upgraded the flame is.
As you can probably imagine, pyromancy was OP for Soul Level 1 runs in Dark Souls 1.
Afterwalker Pyromancy still scales with intelligence it's ridiculous when ascended, but I agree it was ridiculous for sl1 runs
Looks like he's using the "Maiden Hood," "Silver Knight Armor," "Silver Knight Gauntlets," and the "Antiquated Skirt."
Its a pain. His tail is always clipped inside the wall. 10/10 game design
The secons i get to his tail he swings it around and i die wtf
4:59 wtf?
+Mighty Allfucker the shield used to destroy everything but was nerfed.
+Bubby5889 where can i get this shield?
igor hinokuma You can make it with a +10 shield, a few thousand souls and the soul of the moonlight butterfly. You have to talk to the giant blacksmith in anor londo to make it.
+Bubby5889 oh, OK but if i make that shield i cannot make the spear right?
igor hinokuma If you kill the moonlight butterfly a 2nd time in new game + you will get a second boss soul so you can make the spear too.
@HippyManPL If you really want that achievement, I believe it's transferable between characters. Meaning, if you start a new character and fight NG Seath, cut off his tail there, it should count towards the rare weapons.
Wow thanks for this vid, never knew Pyromancy would work so well, just ran my lvl 17 mage in and blasted tail off, half killed him doing it, failed to finish him off but still a win i think
So frustrating, hit his tail god knows how many times and had those clam bastards join the fight.. killed him but no sword..
It works like stun in the game in that you have to deliver as much damage in as short a time as possible. So either lots of attacks from a small weapon (bleed helps I think, though I'm not sure) or 2-3 heavy attacks from a heavy weapon.
I appreciate you bowing in the beginning. Common decency is in an extreme lack nowadays
@d123420
You have to hit the very tip of his center-most tail for it to count against his tail health, just like Priscilla's. That is more than likely your problem. If you hit the base or anywhere else it only counts against his main health.

Pro tip, you want it EASIER?
Wait for him to get close then destroy the ice protecting him.
Now you have extra time to cut the tail. I did it with soul spear and aimed for the very tip.
After the first try it worked like a charm.
How's it FEEL Seath?
*Cuts off tail*
To be a BITCH
Thanks for posting this! Although I beat him yesterday then realised that the moonlight greatsword was pretty good :( ill do this on NG+ thanks!
Right there at 5:35, if he would have just followed him as he was turning, the battle would have been over.

Very helpful, got the sword in less than a minute thanks to you. Thank you
"Pew Pew Lasers" LOL
XD
Thank you, this was the only way for me to solve the tail issue! Much appreciated!
@commanderp69 when you skip to te part where he uses combustion you can tell the glove looks different, so its acsended. The club is elemental so its pure physical and lightning damage the doesnt scale. As for the ring shield, this was pre patch before it was nerfed.
@TheLastTwinky No. I would have been using daggers for that. However, that gives me an idea to make him when I get bored with my current character... Plus, the character in that video is female; it's pretty hard to make a nice looking female character.
@TheShammyShammy
Not every dragon died in the war vs the Gods. 3 survived:
-Seath
-Gaptoth Dragon (but went mad, like the creators said)
-Stone Dragon
But still, i think its nice to see different designs of dragons like Tuska68 said
I take that back. The shield used in at 4:55 is the Hollow Knight Shield which is a very rare drop from the spear wielding hollows.
Also, there is even a game maker that Fromsoft made called the Sword of Moonlight editor, used for making King's Field-like games.
2 combustions?? REALLY?? man i wasted my life so much with that tail.
Crystal Ring Shield. It's a boss weapon. You need a +10 shield, Moonlight Butterfly Soul, and 5000 Souls. Also, can only be done with Giant Blacksmith in Anor Londo. Upgrades with Demon Titanite.
You can indeed beat the whole game at SL1 once you are experienced enough. But also you can skip parts of the game in the beginning. For example, the first boss on the bridge, the moonlight butterfly in the forest, the caper demon in undead parish area, the gaping dragon in the depths can ALL be skipped. The only essential bosses are those required to ring the two bells (gargoyle and queelag) and all the lord soul bosses you offer to the altar (4 kings, seath the scaleless, nito, bed of chaos)
Brother thanks you for showing me this. Got his tail off with 3 combustions. Must have been trying to get his tail off for 3 hours now
Fun fact: The Moonlight Sword is a King's Field easter egg, and Seath is the final boss in King's Field 3.
Duuuude!!! That was awesome! Especially the very end...nice touch!
The reason why he is lvl 15 yet can fight on par with this guy is more than likely due to maxed equipment. The shield he is using is the Crystal Ring Shield, made from using the Butterfly's soul and a +10 small shield. Just FYI for those asking the questions. :)
its really cool looking huh, painting guardian waist cloth, silver knight armor, silver knight gauntlets, and what looks to me the maiden hood
I have the location memorized by feel, not by sight. I can find it myself, but not give directions. I found it by watching a video walk through. Eagle shield is a damn good piece of equipment. You can use it unupgraded to spar with Sif, and none of his ground attacks will break your block.
Can't thank you enough. I thought i am suck at cutting that tail off, it turns out i am ambitious to attk the thicker part of the tail.
I had that problem, you have to actually hit the tip. I noticed that when I was trying to cut it off, I was hitting too close to his body, hit the white part of his tail, the part with no crystals on it.

Nice!! On NG+2 and still haven't gotten this. One trophy away from all FromSof SoulsBorne games!!
To kill him I normally just run to the right (or his left) and hack at that tail staying in front of him and close to the end.
Depends on what you wanna do. I play my pvp sorcerer with the moonlight gs because it's a just awesome int weapon with a homing range attack on 2handed r2 - when you shot all your spells and the enemy thinks he can just rush on you, the moonlight gs is perfect for holding him on distance
The tune that guy posted was the demons soul opening theme, best game music ever.

@gastonie Its possible. Focus on gear instead of lvling your toon. You'll be able to handle lots of mobs that way. Just do remember that you may die in like 1 or 2 hits lol
watch the video at 3:13 hes using slumbering dragoncrest ring (or its counterpart) and havels. So no ring of sacrifice is a no go here.
Who knew that a simple spell could do the trick. I was getting so frustrated with this, but I watched this video and in a few tries, with good RNG, and I cut off his tail.
How strong is your pyromancy flame?
How many slices of bread have you eaten
Finally, done. With fully upgraded Silver Knight Straight Sword I was able to deal enough damage quickly enough at the right spot. The boss fight is a joke, getting the Moonlight GS is a pain in the ass.
It's a pity that the shield was nerfed in the patch.it was really strong because it multiplied the sword power of the right hand
Decent equipment makes this game that much more bearable. A person with soul level of 70ish with only basic equips (elite knight+6/ gold hemmed+3) will probably have a tougher time than a soul level 20-ish with silver knight set/ havel set and op rings (havel ring and darkwood grain).
All in all, invest in equipment upgrading.
Holy Shit u got some Mad Skillz ^^
but may I ask what shield u used that makes 1k dmg I kinda wanna have it too :/
anyway nice vid mate *thumbs up*
why did combustion cut the tail so quickly? is it just as simple as doing about 2 bars of Seath's health directly to the tip of the tail?
is there another way to get the sword the tail i coulde not CUT IT OFF I MEAN I HIT HIS TAIL UNTIL HE DEAD AND ITS NOT BEEN CUT :@
you have to attack the tip of the tail the base is no good unlike other bosses thats why his is so hard
Matthew Bumpus I attack the base of the tail fot two hours lol
Srew u seath
well now you know attack the tip (the small end)
You have to cut it in the edge of his tail not to near the body
you cant think to do it with a spear or a drake sword, use a lightning washing pole, personally on NG+ i know 2 hits from a +10 washing pole with sunlight blade will cut it off...
Does this work for all other tails, like pricilla, sanctuary guardian and Kalameet?
Goddammit I just got to this boss and forgot the Cursebite ring :
2:16 for the action
After slicing the tale off.... finish seathe but make sure the sliced tale won't or didn't glitch out through the wall(making it unobtainable) cause you have to pull the sword out from it. Man they should make the strategy guide easy to 'get' like that.
Thanks for the vid, I was just checking to see how easy/hard it was to get that moonlight greatsword. I'm on NG+ so it might be hard, anyways nice stats..(sarcasm)

Could you share your load out? I am interested in what armor you used... (they look pretty cool!)
Also, what lvl of pyromancy are you? I haven't fought Seath yet... and I'm trying to decide how I am gonna cut off his tail... looks like pyromancy is pretty effective....!
This video is a good example how to not get multiple tail hits lol
Just like the fight with Gaping Dragon when dismembering his tail you have to time your swings to get consistent hits.
What shield was that? The throwable one? I can't seem to watch this video, it just gets stuck if I want to skip through it now.
U can make it u only need any shield at +10 and the moonligth butterfly soul. I think its called crystal ring shield
Miguel Mendoza Oh so any shield, basically? Cool, thanks.
Guys u can only get his tail weapon second play threw of the game... I cut his middle tail off usin the black knight sword took about 6 swings just take ur time and u have to hit his tail in the right spot im in my second play threw now so i should get it i just beat the DLC love this game so much
Um..... How'd they start the fight on THAT side of the boss???? I remember having to get around Seath to access the ice you have to break......
same here...black knight albard +5 already try 8 times, even with 2 handed atacks, he always run with the tail into the wall, i dont want to kill it before get the sword -.-
How did you get here at level 15? Is there a way to skip parts of the game or a different route to open this part up early on?
Does Seath have two of the laser beam attacks, or just the one that goes around his body from one side to the other?
I CAN beat the whole game by only punching, that doesn't mean it's a good idea. Levelling helps you access weapons and increases your damage on weapons with stat scaling. So no, levelling actually is extremely useful, to a certain point. Past SL 125 there's really no point as the cost to do so outweighs any potential bonuses left.
Bro no offese but that was probably the longest Seath fight i've seen, I know ur underleveled but he's Really easy, I ususally finish him in 2 minutes with him barely touching me once, I only have trouble with his tail, so thanx for the tip
You are on drugs.
Divine Coont Well I guess that's just me then ...
cHo ViiRuuS I don't have trouble with him either. I know how you feel
He's literally like 50 levels under mate, how the fuck could you even comment this retarded ass response xD
Griffin Dunn hahaha the sarcasm hahaha if it takes longer than 30 seconds, you need a lot of practice
Didn't know you could cut it with other types of damage.
i can use the lightining gargoyle's halberd +5 to cut his tail off?
or is so strong?
No you don't. Just a bit of doding. Chaos reinforced club +5 deals enough damage, so only thing you have to worry about is enemies oneshotting you. If you can dodge well it is easy.
Actually, if you hold onto stuff and manage not to die to often you can end up having millions of souls and ninenty nine usable humanities easily. For example: I'm on NG++ and i get 200K souls from most bosses. After a certain point you can get that many pretty damn easily.
