    - Learned more of the 2nd phase enough to beat her with some style.

      Same. I beat her finally recently and I wanna do a rematch and do better. I got pretty good at the first phase and logically I understand the second phase too I'm just not good enough to pull it off so I beat her with online co-op.
      It still felt really good triumphing over her though! The other fellow I summoned also had an unga-bunga double big sword style so I felt instant camraderie. And it was still hard as balls, we needed to correctly time our attacks together and we both needed to correctly dodge THAT move.
      I raged, I had fun learning her, and it was a great feeling T posing at her in the end. Really good boss, but still not my favourite because of how frustrating and unpredictable it can be.

    • @Akira-kd6us
      @Akira-kd6us 2 роки тому +4

      Jesus man I feel you so much. Just beat her recently with a self imposed rule, no summons/let me solo her, use guts greatsword, no poke spam, no shield, and no magic just pure melee. I'm not saying this to brag on you or anyone(I'm proud tho), I'm just saying this because you most likely also had some self imposed bs rules on yourself if you had to deal with her for 5 days, you're not alone my man. Needless to say, my rules forced me to memorize all of her move sets and learn when I'm supposed to attack and when not to, fuck colossal weapons, they do satisfy me but at what cost. Man I do hate it when I stagger her then when she comes back up she goes straight in to her dance(water fowl) animation, I'm not far enough to dodge her first barrage, bad rng sucks.
      I beat her once with my rules, but then I realized my screen wasn't recorded, so I did it again, yes I'm stupid and this is pointless. I beat her again after 10 hours of trying, it was recorded this time, but god that run was dirty because I just woke up and beat her on my first try of the day. Now I'm thinking if I should reload my save file and say goodbye to my progress yet again because for sure I can do better than I did. I'll set my vid public if anyone's interested to see a masochist's victory.

      @Anal Farmer I realized after helping a few others beat her.
      She's a Bloodborne boss, you gotta get your hits in and get out super fast. Fists and daggers can flinch her and have super fast recovery times so you can react to her attacks. She got me to open my inventory and dig for something that works that wasn't shield and counter and I enjoy being forced to use all the damn things I had been hoarding.

      @Anal Farmer The regen is not even the unfair thing in that fight, she barely heals herself from it. Like, if she gets a big chuck of HP back, that means you took way too many hits, so you are most likely dead or at like 5% HP and will most likely die anyway. The bs thing is her anime jump slash, as there's only 2 ways to evade that sh*t. Either manage to glitch the insane tracking the first attack has by running towards her or get lucky and be far away enough to outrun it.

    Here’s a little trick for everyone having trouble with this fight, the ash of war “prelate’s charge” can stunlock her for as long as you can use it. Slap that on great stars or the butchering knife and apply blood flame blade and you can easily kill her with the bleed procs. I should know, I bet her first try with this setup (and a co-op partner to take attention off me when the buff ran out).
    Was it cheesy, oh hell yeah. But the boss heals for every landed hit and will instakill you at the start of phase 2 if you go in blind, I say that deserves some cheese.

It's Ash of War has a lot of range, and with the weapon at +9 and the Shard of Alexander Talisman, it did 1500 damage per hit and could reach her in her flower attack. This on top of the fact that power-stancing Colossal Weapons is a great way to stagger her, I had significantly less trouble than most. Now of course it could be argued that merely dual-wielding swords the size of telephone poles is cheese in and of itself.

      King of the Storm, Orphan of Kos, Orstein and Smoug. Every game has a bs boss that makes you beat your face against a wall as you try to perfect the match for hours on end. But then you can’t help but go online and see others take on the struggle and eventually beat it too because the experience sits with you.
      For me it’s the wfd having such specific tight dodge windows and directions that makes this fight difficult. The lifesteal is irrelevant if you treat her like Nameless King who outright kills you if he hits you 1-2 times. Yet I wouldn’t have her any other way. Same with pre-nerf Radahn who would fart and insta kill me. His stats were beyond too overdone yet I hate that all my playthroughs are against a nerfed version of him now.

      If you don't panic, all you need to do is roll toward her and she'll completely whiff and zoom past you on each stage of the attack. So just 3 well-timed rolls forward will make her miss it all. After I figured this out, it made the fight soo much easier since everytime she does that, it's just free damage

    You are the reason why I’m gonna get this game. I’ve never played any Souls game. This one caught my eye but I was like, nah. Then I saw your streams and play throughs on here and I kept coming back. I feel like even though I’ll probably rage quit a lot, it’ll be worth it.

      This is my 1st. souls game too. This message is for you if you use a shield and you aren't aware of this detail. Apply Barricade Shield ash of war on ANY shield that has 100% guarded damage negation. Apply it before an attack and watch how your endurance is affected. Now try blocking without it and watch your endurance.
