      Red Eyes is corrupted deeply by the Abyss, and is left in agonizing madness. So he attacks the first thing he sees. His comrades, are sworn to kill all things corrupted by the Abyss. So what does your elite, immortal Abyss purging group do if you all have been compromised by the Abyss? Well you, as the player, is walking into the result of that question.

      I actually did it and it's not that bad to avoid their combo, i would even say it's good since by staying far enough to not be hit while staying close enough to them they continue the combo, making it an easy way to heal/buff (personally i just waited for their long rush forward or the end of a combo to land a hit or two and i was golden since he don't have that much health to begin with and when it's not flying in the air doing combo tricks, it's actually quite easy to find an opening to strike)

      At a boss fight, take some time to really study the boss's attacks, and see what telegraphs they use. For example some bosses rear up ever so slightly before charging. Then get 1-2 attacks in when you know a combo has ended.
      And two-hand most bosses. More fun that way IMO

    In retrospect, this is quite a tragic boss.

They desperately needed to be laid to rest.

      I meant he sounded so surprised like
      'Oh,why did I die while fighting a strong boss without putting any souls into my HP'

      I thought that belonged to the dancer. So many need help with that boss it's a gold mine of souls for me XD

      I actually found the dancer okay. While gundyr f.e. was terrifying (maybe because i didn't parry him)

    This has to be one of my favorite fights, I struggled a lot with them at first, but that made winning so much sweeter

    Be honest, nobody here expected a phase 2 to this boss fight. They really make you think he's dead with that cutscene. A few seconds of respite and then he rises like Olympus and we all crapped our little frilly panties 🤣🤣

    beat the game today and have to say Abyss watchers are still my personal fav boss just coz it was the first main boss i faced and as a new comer to this series they really taught me to play this game, for me the hardest boss was Pontiff not saying that dancer ,nameless or final bosses were easier but by that time i mastered this game and took them out within 5 tries , overall an amazing experience

      How many will go the path of the boss and not use the storm ruler I wonder.

      DarknessFlameDragon5 A depressing amount of people. I searched for reactions when the game first came out. Almost no one got it. And some even got the WA gimmick but didn't charge it.

      DarknessFlameDragon5 Does it count if I'm not a youtuber and didn't use the storm ruler?

    • @TheDefectiveAI
      @TheDefectiveAI 7 років тому +1

      I mean, you've accomplished something most don't either out of inability or laziness, but no it doesn't count in this context.
