Same I followed the guide to the tee and he hits me no matter what but doesn’t strike the dude in this clip once he attacks the stone blocking his path... probably updated so it hits you every time
*UPDATE* I did eventually manage to beat this dude. Your timing has to be just right. The more attempts you get under your belt you learn the pattern, persevere and once you see his head turn the other way almost fully make a dash for it. (I beat this guy in soulless form) having less health thus making it harder. I recommend levelling up your HP aswell for this boss, having a low equip load (no fat rolling here), a decent stamina bar and some perseverance . Eventually you will do it. There is a Demons souls remake fan page on Facebook, in that group you can ask for help from players like myself using a password which negates level. I know this isn’t a precise guide but I hope it helps any that are stuck. Praise the sun!!! :)
@@aestheticfitness1354 except only certain weapons can break the rock piles in one shot. My spear and sword don't so I have to use the Dragon hammer sword you find there but it makes you so slow when you hit there's a massive recovery window
This makes no sense to me whatsoever. It takes me ages to smash through those pullers yet you do it in a single slash. I’m spotted regardless of where I am. It’s impossible to destroy the second killers before his claw comes and one shots me. I’ve beat all Souls games platinum, yet here I am defeated by this bloody gimmick of a “boss”.
Died about 10 times trying to break the pillars and my 9 year old came in and said "Dad why dont you just use magic to break the pillar and then run for it?" Had to tell him it didnt work and wait for him to leave so he doesnt know hes smarter than me 🤦♂️

DETAILED GUIDE FOR POOR UNFORTUNATE SOULS Only reason why I'm writing this guide is because I died to this damn thing so many times that I eventually figured out how to get through it without a hitch. Hopefully this helps other poor unfortunate souls so that we can waste less time on gimmick bosses like this... TIPS BEFORE YOU TRY A RUN... -Thief's Ring might help give you abit more time before he spots you (but actually not sure if that's even true). At least psychologically it helps, lol -Try to be as light as possible so that you can run fast. To me, this whole fight most of the time is kind of all or nothing. Meaning you either do it perfectly or you will probably die from one mistake anyway. As such, doing a naked run might even be a smart choice. -Equip a heavy-hitting enough weapon that can clear most debris in one/two hits. I used the Dragon Long Sword+2 I believe and the running R1 pretty much one-shot most debris Dragon God "fight" is split into 3 phases 1)Disabling his Left Arm 2)Disabling his Right Arm 3)Disabling his damn FACE and LIFE And its about doing what you need to do while he is in a relaxed/de-aggro state (yellow eyes). When you start to do stuff (eg. running into his view, destroying debris), he starts to progressively become aggro. When he is fully aggro-ed (red eyes), he will attack and probably one-shot you. The key term here though is 'progressively', meaning not immediately. Therefore, the whole idea of this entire fight is to take small actions (which inevitably will start to aggro him) and then quickly get out of his line of sight again before he becomes fully aggro, which would then de-aggro him back to a relaxed state. 1)Disabling his Left Arm Phase 1 is the hardest as you are right there on his eye level. That means you have less time before he spots you to destroy debris and progress forward. When you pass through the fog door, just sprint right up to just before the main center window. He will notice you and punch the main window, as long as you aren't too close you shouldn't take any damage. You can then move into position behind the first pillar. His head movement at this phase is mainly facing the right side of the screen (which unfortunately is where you need to go), but he does turn to the center/left for a short while now and then. You can wait until just as he is starting to turn away from the right side of the screen to then run forward to destroy the debris and then run back to hide behind the first pillar. Should be 2 debris piles to destroy to clear the path to the 2nd pillar. When the time is right, move to hide behind the 2nd pillar and repeat the same strategy, coming back to hide behind the 2nd pillar instead. Should be 2 debris piles as well I think. Once the way forward is completely clear and the timing is right, sprint from the 2nd pillar all the way to the right side of the screen to where the 1st ballista is located and activate it to end phase 1. 2)Disabling his Right Arm Phase 2 is considerably easier as Dragon God looks away from you longer, giving you a longer window to do your debris clearing. Going down the nearby stairs from the 1st ballista, you will face a row of 3 pillars. His head movement at this phase is such that he will look down and to his left in your general direction then look back up directly in front him and then look up and roar, before repeating this pattern of behaviour. So same thing, wait till he starts to look away from you then run forward to destroy the next pile of debris before coming back to hide behind the nearest pillar. While it is tempting to get greedy and try to destroy multiple debris piles in one go, safest bet is to be patient and destroy one at a time and go back to hide behind the nearest pillar. Remember, one mistake and you have to do this crap all over again... Eventually, you will reach the last debris pile near the 3rd pillar and you need to make a run for it after clearing that pile as he will become aggro and start to breathe fire. There will be one or two more debris piles along the way but just clear them fast and sprint all the way to the 2nd ballista. Activating it ends Phase 2. 3)Disabling his damn FACE and LIFE After the cutscene, come back to the middle and go down to either side of his head and slowly attack his chin horn until he dies. Be wary whenever hot steam comes out of his mouth though as that can still damage and even kill you, which would be the saddest, most stupid death ever if it wasn't so funny. And that's it. Hope this helps you clear this segment faster than I did. Ugh
My problem was that it took like 3 hits to break the ruble, this happened to me in Sekiro too. The easiest bosses takes the most tries lol, I took all previous bosses on my first try but not this one no no. Took the corrupted monk on my first try but died to the Devine dragon like 6 times
I’m late but he didn’t specify he had the Thief ring on. But I don’t know if it actually makes a difference for the dragon spotting you having it on or not
I can’t break the barriers in one swing, unlike you. What weapon do you have equipped? I have a bastard sword +6. How is that not strong enough? Or is it that I should be swinging it with two hands? Having to hit it twice is ridiculous. Tia
If you still stuck make him see you before running up the stairs. He will flame the lower part only. Use that time to run up and destroy last wall with 2 handed weapon.
You have to do a lot of back and forth... I tried multiple times with a weapon that two shotted the pillars... I finally equipped a two handed I could use and break the pillars in just one swing - way way easier to get by him in time.
You just have to use the magic to destroy the stones carry some aged spice with you and its as easy as it can be! Plus u have to stay in spots where he won’t deal damage and ur all good
I only came here after dying 20 times and wanted to see what I was doing wrong. I had the right idea just wasnt paying enough attention to were the dragon was looking lol
@@liftingvids6780 hell yeah bro! I know the feeling. I got the platinum for Sekiro and had to beat my head against the wall for bosses. If you play new game plus there is a trophy to kill the Dragon with the hands of God fist weapons once his head is down.
Everytime I walk forward to hide behind the pillar he one shots me, I havnt even made it to the first pillar because I die before getting there this game is bullshit
You can't beat this boss on the ps3 every attack he does insta kills me with 20 in vitality and the befiest armor I have And I cant dodge anything he does or block it to nullify any of the damage
I beat the flamelurker then directly wandered into this boss... 22,000 fucking souls

Dragon God "fight" is split into 3 phases

That little circle near the beginning doesnt work. He one shots me, every single time. he can see you.
Stay to the right hand side of the pillar (slightly).
Try equipping the thief ring, not sure if it helps but he seemed to notice me less.
I’ve died more times to this guy than flamelurker
1. Uchigatana (two handed)
2. Light attack not heavy
3. You may accidentally trigger his fire breathing on the left side so be careful
Thanks
Worst boss fight in all of souls games
Absolutly fuckin right...
So trash
Most annoying
That fat adjudactor thing was god damn awful.... too easy and boring. Big fub
It sucks so much, not fun at all
For those having trouble getting through the rubble, shield strong attack knocked it out in one shot for me-and I’m a noob.
watched this like 5 times just to get my ass kicked on the first pillar lmao i’ll try again next time
My problem was that it took like 3 hits to break the ruble, this happened to me in Sekiro too. The easiest bosses takes the most tries lol, I took all previous bosses on my first try but not this one no no. Took the corrupted monk on my first try but died to the Devine dragon like 6 times
Increase ur strength or get better weapons
@@Schizobateman this was a long time ago lol, since then I went through DS 1-3 two times, Sekiro two times and Bloodborne one time.
@@levitatehigh3723 its the hardest boss for me ever . i dint try sekiro yet . bbds1ds2ds3. how i cant do it ? more than a hour
Same
I'm a total noob at these games and started with a magic build. Once I realized you can can use your sword 2 handed, made this a ton easier lol.
Thanks, beated him at the first attempt with this guide
Thanks man with a couple of tries your advice helped a lot.
Glad I could help
How come I cannot break the stone in one hit like he does????? Nooooo!
Dealing with same issue
Need a powerful heavy weapon. The weapon on the left at the beginning can do it.
I two handed the crescent falchion and two shot them really fast
Had I known it was this easy I would have just kept trying lol. Thanks for the guide
No problem 👍
Thanks for this. I guess the answer is to have a weapon that clears the rubble in one hit. That did it for me.
It would be useful if I could break the stupid barriers in one hit
Lmao same
@@iwant2troll442 I tried using an uchikatana and it worked
@@PP-iq7co I did it with 2 hands bastard sword
2 hand it. I would smash them in 3 hits then run back to safety and wait for him to chill and run back through.

What is the best weapon to use to knock out the pillars the quickest?
how the f do you one hit rubble?
The fire baiting doesn't work for me.
I stood where you did, his eyes turned red. I ran and his fire hit me before I even got to the pillar.
you can brake the ruble with one strike i have to hit it like 5 times? what's your level and how much damage your weapon can do?
I can't break the pillar in one hit like you do,it traps me every time
Perfect guide
Thanks, Mike!
I tried about 6 times and I watched this vid and instantly won
Same this video is a good luck charm
What is that sword that you are using?
I’m playing a mage. How do I get past that last wall near the 2nd ballista. It takes me too long to get through that wall and he always toasts me
If you still stuck make him see you before running up the stairs. He will flame the lower part only. Use that time to run up and destroy last wall with 2 handed weapon.
You have to do a lot of back and forth... I tried multiple times with a weapon that two shotted the pillars... I finally equipped a two handed I could use and break the pillars in just one swing - way way easier to get by him in time.
Burrower outfit plus water veil and good amount of hp can tank at least one fire attack
This really helped, thanks!
Ok so it’s not that I’m dieing a lot, it’s that it takes me 3 hits to break the rocks can you explain a little more on weapon to one hit the rocks
why did i reach weopon #1 2 times and i cant now ?
Thanks for the guide bro, appreciate it’s
No problem 👍
Thanks bro!
No problem!
What happens with dragons soul where did it go?
What do you mean?
Been stuck for 5 hours...i just can't do it
The circle isn't even there on ps3 so basically this boss is only beatable on the ps5
You just have to use the magic to destroy the stones carry some aged spice with you and its as easy as it can be! Plus u have to stay in spots where he won’t deal damage and ur all good
Thanks for this
How do you break the barricades in one hit ?
idk why i watch these before i play through DX
I only came here after dying 20 times and wanted to see what I was doing wrong. I had the right idea just wasnt paying enough attention to were the dragon was looking lol
I don’t know how you only have so little pillars to break I have like 4 on the right side what the hell
why he dont attack you ?
Jesus you made it look so easy
I have to hit the columns 3 times each... although my weapon is really strong. Weird... 🤔
Thanks bro! Got it first time lol I was scared he was gonna be harder
This strategy does not work. He hits you no matter what
This strategy worked perfectly for me i didnt take any damage while following this.
Uchigatana breaks in 1 step. Thanks.
What weapon are you using? I see you 1 shotting debree and lizards.
Uchigatana
thanks man! got it on the 2nd attempt. pretty scary haha
maybe im too slow because i broke the rock with shield ?
How the @#$3 are you one-shotting the debris? Not one video explains that.
He did exactly the opposite of what you said hed do with his fire breath
Holmes is goated!
I was running ahead blindly and getting mushed by him T-T
Thank you so much for such a simple and effective explanation, you legend!

U can one shot the debris i take 4 wtf?
Everytime I walk forward to hide behind the pillar he one shots me, I havnt even made it to the first pillar because I die before getting there this game is bullshit
