Lolz. You can buy all the throwables you want. I didn't use them much until Manus 2nd phase. Still working on this guy. Think the only way for nameless is to get good at parrying and memorize his moves souls style. I guess there was cheese in souls too but whateve.
My biggest problem with this game is them giving you poise and *only* you. So have fun getting staggered over and over again while your enemies simply ignore half the things you do
OMG thank you thank you thank you!!! I've been stuck on this guy for a week. My wife was about to leave me. You helped me see how to break down keeping away from him. I ran out of stuff and had go toe to toe the at the end, but I finally got the bastard. What a feeling
I dont know how many times I died. It came to the point I stopped to pick up the Ergo and it was in my path. I was determined. But that Second phase was brutal. Finally able to beat him thanks to your strategy. Never realized how strong throwables were.
Glad the video helped you out some! This boss really is brutal and far and above anything else in the game difficulty wise. Congrats on beating the game!
best guide out there for sure, this is the easiest way to kill it. i just had to reset my p organs to get the throwable bonuses and the extra belt slot and filled it with throwables and a single slot fo pulse cells. i advise you to warm up first to get used to dodging his moves to avoid using a lot of throwables then dying to a move that you didn't see before. anyways a big thanks to this guy i really struggled with this boss but he made it seem like a piece of cake.
I'm glad I was able to help you out! Good tips on taking a few practice runs on him before using throwables to save time. Congrats on finishing the game!
First of all, I wanna say that as great as your send-off is, I'm sure the ppl looking up this video are not having a great day. The nameless puppet see's to that. Second, of the dozen or so vids I watched for tips, this is the only one that truly helped get me thru this fight. Thank you!
First video I’ve found that actually has a legit cheese strategy despite numerous vids having cheese in the title. Great video, great instructions, you’ve easily earned a like and subscribe! Thanks!
So I kind of followed your method. For the first phase, I tried my best to parry and dodge to save legion. I used the trident and electric grindstone. Once second phase started, I used your shield up and attack technique. Once he was down to half health, that's when I started to throw whatever I had. Not as clean as yours but still worked. Also if people don't know, the Advance Wishstone (restores Legion) can be helpful. Just thought I'd share my way in case someone is having trouble.
Its unfortunate the parrying in this game is not frame-perfect like in Sekiro. That multi-frame delay between pressing it and when it actually engages adds such an artificial difficulty to the combat. Don't get me wrong, I beat the game and by the end I was consistently hitting my parries, I'm just saying...to anyone out there who is having a tough time with the parry system, or maybe you put the game down because the combat just never felt quite right, know that it's not you...the window for parries might be tighter than Sekiro, but mechanically its not even close
The parrying does take a bit of getting used to in the game and Sekiro does do it better. Maybe they'll patch it some one day; however, people are already getting used to it now and if they change it then all the current players will be thrown off, lol.
@@Ogles Yeah, I don't see them improving the input delay unfortunately. If the parry system was as accurate as Sekiro I would give this game a much higher score personally. I know its something people CAN get adjusted to, I just don't like that we need to because it is an inferior system and it does take away from being able to fully enjoy the combat
That's why I laugh when people compare games like this to sekiro. Somebody was trying to compare wo long Parry's to sekiro in some video earlier today. Wo long or lies of P doesn't come close to how good the combat system is in sekiro and specifically the Parry because however from software did it. They did it right. There is no delay. Sekiro is my favorite game of all time and it truly does a disservice to how good the game is when people compare other games to it when those other games don't even come close to how good the combat is in sekiro. Sakura is something special and it truly is in a league of its own when it comes to the combat system as a whole. I think because lies of P has the legion arm and a Parry system people tend to compare it to Sekiro and that is a shame because honestly it's a disservice to both games
I didn’t find that an issue. The only boss that gave me any issue was laxasia. But I found out my controllers block button was failing and that’s why my parry was failing.
Just beat him 5 minutes ago thanks to this video. My heart was pounding in my chest until I caught him with a cannon ball and killed him with a finisher.
Tried this so many times. This boss absolutely destroys me. I don’t know why, but every video I’ve seen has decent windows where you can heal, etc, but for me this guy is on me so hard in the 2nd phase I can’t even find a window to heal the majority of the time, much less throw stuff. I can’t run away in the 2nd phase. No matter how fast and how far I try to run he’s on me in half a second and just destroys me.
Yep same crap indeed 2nd phase! I'm about to just give heart uninstall bye move on to other games. Feel like shite giving up after coming this far though
I hardly ever comment, but this video. This video was the one that gave me the perfect setup to destroy that stupid puppet. It took me 3 tries and I won. I have been at this for days and I beat him on christmas. So thank you and merry christmas for this gift of a video 💖
I've watched so many of your videos and they've helped so much. Except this one haha. The first phase goes beautifully, but I've tried like 10 times with your cheese and he runs and attacks faster than I run and he gets me every time
Now I have overcome it. It is difficult and not difficult at the same time. Just go in and fight it over and over again. I threw electricity and fire at it. It helped me a little. It was a fierce fight, but in the end I won. Do not give up, just try.
@@Ogles thanks! this time I'm not using the spectre if I can help it, just beat the scrapped watchman solo. First time I barely beat him even with the spectre - so much more satisfying when you can pull it off after trial and error
@@fluid2773if you refused to give gapetto your heart, you can still give it to him at the nearesr save point by the nameless puppet. This will end the game
i gave up on this because of the very little legion i had but otherwise if i had the same amount of legion you had ogles i probably wouldve beat the boss and all the other guides help so thats a plus
This helped me breeze through phase 1 in like a minute and a half, with little to no damage, but good lord I can't seem to survive 30 seconds in phase 2! He moves. SO. Friggin. FAST. By the second I dodge one attack he's already 2 shotting me with the next, giving me little to no time to watch out for telegraphs. I love dex based bosses in souls-like RPGs, they're my fav, but this one is just..wtf lmao. His boss design in phase 2 feels like the most frustrating parts of Malenia and Maliketh rolled into one.
I'm glad I've been able to help you with multiple games and sounds like you've conquered the hardest of the hard now! Nameless Puppet is one of the most difficult battles out there!
I'm all for a difficult final fight, but this is insane. I can't get his moves down in phase 2 no matter how hard I try cuz the fact that he has 2 swords trips me up so bad. Plus you don't have the option to summon help. The achievements might say otherwise, but I beat the game and idc anymore cuz this boss has broken me to pieces
I'm sorry to hear you're having so much trouble with him! I will say he is by FAR the hardest boss in the game, but at least you could still take the win and get the credits to roll with the other ending!
@@Ogles That's the thing, I've developed a kind of Stockholm Syndrome with this boss😂 I can't bring myself to pick the no-fight ending. I got him down to 1/5 of his health after writing this comment so now I just can't leave! So close!!
@@cadenswanson3412 I did that same day! Throwables was massive and I started getting parrys down much better. Have a little shame cause I want to try to beat him with 0 throwables lol. But now I'm replaying elden ring 😁
I have a weapon/build suggestion. Try using the "Two Dragon Sword +5" technique boost to the hilt and a technique build. The damage is decent per swing. AND simply locking on and holding left while swinging at him dodges most attacks. The character gets so low while using the katana that many of the attacks just go over its head. Hope this helps people using Technique builds.
Just finished the game and killed the nomeless puppet...... That was crazy.... I tried so loooong but in the end with the two dragon sword I've done it! What a relief!
Stage one i just guarded or perfect gaurded his attacks with electric abrasive. Second stage i used the shield method you did in 1 but when i ran out of legiin i used the perfect guard grindstone (2x) and attacked when he was stunned i used 3 legion reloads repeated the shield method and it was enough to finish him
Você foi o ÚNICO que não disse pra só ficar tacando arremesáveis. Mostrou cada movimento dele e como desviar. Eu estava preso nele há dias. Mas assim que segui as tuas dicas, consegui matar ele. GANHOU LIKE E MAIS UM INSCRITO NO CANAL. ❤
Thanks! This is one of the bosses where there’s so much more than just throwables. They do work but you have to learn the fight a bit to know when to be able to throw them. Congrats on finishing the game!
For me the easiest way was to repeat the same tactic from phase 1 in phase 2, but you need to restore legion using consumables and add electricity to rapier again. Phase 2 was harder than phase 1 using this tactic but still manageable. And you don't need to spend ton of ergo on throwables. BTW thanks for the video, without it I would probably destroy something 😅
I can't get the windows you get on 2nd phase, one throwable and I run and he's still on me with his Olympian sprints..but this is still best strategy I've seen, aegis melts his 1st phase..I am on ng+ also since I gave my heart in ng..thanks for all your hard work🤘✌✌
You're more than welcome! And just got to keep that distance and time some of the rolls right. It's still fairly hard, but the throwables really is the safest way to take him out. Best of luck!
Nice one, I beat him yesterday using a combo of parry, dodge and 3 shot puts. It a tough fight, the hardest part it, as you said, picking the right time to use the item as well as getting the charged R2 in for the stagger, I messed that up so many times.
Very nice work. I beat him when i was playing this after launch, and recently just started up again for the last achievement (truth ending) and god damn my 1st attepmt almost killed him, but have been struggling. Its even harder to do when your wife is talking to you the full time lol. Ill have to try again when i can play with no distraction.
@andrewstafford8931 sekiro is just memorization, this boss is a pain trying to read with all this red and yellow glowey crap everywhere I can't see shit but the fury attacks lol
@@iTTV_Kudo nope - but I've gotten the first phase down decently with just perfect parries - goal is first phase with 9 or 10 heals left... 2nd phase still feels impossible, but I'm slowly learning how to evade and toss.. I'll get it eventually just have limited play time lately.
Thank you very much for this video ! Your explanations are perfect and allowed me to beat this boss without losing my mind. I wasn't sure about using throwables efficiently and you made it possible !
You're more than welcome! He's so fast that you almost have to break down some of the attacks to find the right time to work some of your moves in. Glad it helped you!
I actually followed this strat, and won at my 30th attempt, though I was trembling the whole time but the throwable saves me at phrase 2, 7 carcass body fluid, 6 throwing cell when he's in half health, thanks for this video!! I also got the true ending in my first playthrough. 🫶
I beat that nameless puppet today at 🆕 game plus..he's damage is double..but I'm using proof of humanity sword max level and puppet strings max level... perfect block grindstone use for 2nd Phase because that combos are insane... Finally I got the rise of p ending...
I suck at this game but his first phase wasn’t too hard to learn the parry timings for. I saved my aegis arm for second phase and blocked while attacking to get my guard regen back until he was dead.
Appreciate the content for the game Ogles! I don't know if it's your forte or not but I was wondering if you were planning on doing any lore videos? I just completed it, decided to forgo the Nameless Puppet fight but I had an absolute blast, just trying to decipher the story for what's what now. Especially given the ties to different fantasy tales alluded to in the endings.
You're more than welcome! Thanks for checking out some of the videos! And I've been debating on doing some lore for it honestly because the game has crafted a pretty unique story. It's an odd connection but sorta reminds me of Shrek in that they are going to try and do a retelling of all these fairy tales now, lol. Except instead of comedy like Shrek, it's a dark retelling. But the Wizard of Oz that they seem to be hinting at would be phenomenal. I read the book years ago and can totally see how they would go dark on that one.
@@Ogles You came in clutch G, I just know you've saved tons of players from a headache or worse. Shrek is a wild connection but that actually makes a lot of sense, not in the least because those movies are actually way darker than most people think they are (and I guess that holds for most children's tales tbh) with the police brutality bits and the fate of mama bear. Well you having read the books is great news, gives a different perspective to it all and it might be a future opportunity if Neowiz decides on announcing anything with The Game Awards looming around the corner. You might remember the Tin Man being a human before losing his limbs and all, and having to go out to search for a heart funnily enough. The parallels are just too clean cut for it to be a coincidence, I can kind of see Giangio/P.P. being the Patches character for these games and I've actually seen a very substantial theory about him being the Mad Hatter lol Also you might recall there's a broken yellow stargazer at the Path of the Pilgrim, I think that could easily be the entrance for DLC and the yellow brick road while we're at it. I've seen people compare at least this game to the way Guillermo Del Toro makes his movies thematically probably because he's done that wonderful Pinocchio movie as well and I hope they manage to further this trend. Also even just hinting to some kind of evil James Franco is just too funny of a prospect for a wizard of oz game 😂
Whoever at Neowiz was in charge of the code for ensuring the boss is staggered after getting hit with a charged r2 while the window was up should lose his job and be forcibly sterilized. More than half of the time, they just shrug off the charge attack and smash you anyway.
@@Ogles In Chapter 9 there's a stargazer outside the hotel, there are some bald head look like Tyrant in RE， with a stick . They are weak in back and they're standing in same building. Just killing all bald with overcoat. One run you can farm 10000 ergo.
I can cream this fkr in the first phase using electric mace and puppet string but 2nd is a whole different story. He is just on me. Still trying. I have to be on 100 tries. I'm too stubborn to give up though
"Max you can carry" I have no p organ upgrades on consumables. Tried throwing stuff 2hrs last night and took off about 50% phase 2. Gave up after about 25 attempts. Worse garbage fight in the game, he devours ur stamina bar in phase 2.
i try to run away and keep my distance but he’s on me instantly. developers were like “oh no matter wgere the player is we will have instant tracking and ya the boss doesn’t need stamina so he can hit as many times as he wants.
Not bad if a staretgy if you reqlly pissed at him! Did use the counter of the Dragion Sword in P1 myself but P2 it is too hard to time. Because of that did ai have a fully uphraded Grenadelauncher for him in P2 and like you did, throwables. In Ng++ he just hita to god damn hard even with Max life
Thank you so much for helping me through this game but I'm afraid I cannot beat this boss. 3 days...I just got a flawless victory on the first stage but second stage I died in 6 seconds...that's not fun. I.have looked up on reddit an UA-cam. This boss is too hard an its not fun .
I'm sorry the boss is proving troublesome for you! He is by far the hardest one in the game and a massive leap above the rest. But I'm glad the game at least made him optional for players. Best of luck if you keep trying him though!
I am so tired of this boss and redoing phase 1 over and over; I had to turn the sound off to even keep playing. I am not able to stay away from him in phase 2 for most of the moves. Looking at your footage it almost seems like you're playing a different game sometimes considering how fast you are moving away from him before he does another attack. I'm sure it is user error, but I'll be glad when this is finally over. It definitely soured me on the idea of doing NG+. Luckily I made a backup save, so after failing a few times when I'm using throwables, I can reload the save and beat my head against the wall some more without having to go farm again.
A backup save does help when trying multiple times back to back to get him. And I just to full dashes away from him when I can and I also keep a pretty light build on my character in general. I hope you get him soon!
there’s nothing i can do about the second phase in terms of running away to throw things, constant attacks from a far catch up to me, doesn’t give any care for crit damage either which is how i have gotten thru the entire game with this dagger
Sad is the parrying doesn’t work well in lies of p and runaway to throw stuff on him shows me how bad the design of this boss is, it’s for me the worst boss.
alright i figured out what was wrong with my jumping problem. as i tried to run away from nameless in second phase i kept pushing in l3 and jumping. the controller is so sensitive. i switched jump to left on dpad for now. i did much better and was able to get off more throwables because i wasn’t stupid jumping lol. this boss is still ass. i don’t know how anyone ever beats him melee. ya guarding and perfect parrys i guess but it has to be a perfect run.
While aegis shield is up, if you spam block (L1) you can perfect guard the fury attacks. I beat him last night and I never took any damage from fury attacks by doing this
@@Ogles yeah I think it's a bug, but it works. Just make sure aegis is fully out before spamming. He's so fast, it's easy to start spamming block while in the animation of pulling it out and then you'll just be using regular block. And you really get a feel for how long it takes to pull out the aegis lol
@@COREcasual In NG+2 you can get an ability that just blocks all fury attacks. Essentially, it treats them as normal attacks. It puts all bosses on easy mode when paired with Aegis.
@Ogles Wesker, as in the asshat who has a thing for teleporting, from reaident evil 5. Dude has broken me. I'm almost in tears. I cannot beat him. Over 10hrs. I get through phase 1 super easy, but I can't get more than two hits. He will not stop spinning. Just endless combos. Endless. I'm not kidding. Idk if this is a bug or what but I didn't even have this much issue with melania. Idk wtf is going on, but I'm at my breaking point with this asshole.
Good strat. But what weapon are you using? Also my throwables seem to run out on this boss really quick without doing a lot of damage even though I can hold 6 in each slot.
I'm using the starting weapon from the dexterity class. And your throwable scale with different stats so might need to look at respecing your character.
I was able to beat the stage 1 but still have trouble with stage. 2. He's just too damn fast. I don't know what to to do. I don't want to give the heart
I tried this, but Aegis doesn't even last long enough for a quarter of the first phase, and it's knocked away with almost every attack I then tried to use the consumables in phase 2, but it takes almost all 6 consumables to even proc the status, followed by the status consuming barely 10% of their health. Looks like there's little choice but to 'git gud'
Finally finished this god awful fight and that meaning this god awful game as well, it was good but then around chapter 6-7 this game started to drag and my god it didn’t stop, doesn’t help that 75% of the bosses and enemies are the must unbearable artificially difficult bullshit of all time, good riddance to this dragged on slog trash game
lol, well at least it's over for you now. I will agree that the first half is probably stronger than the second, but I still liked it as a whole! The final chapters had some of the best soundtrack songs on the game too. Sorry you didn't enjoy it as a whole though!
My amulets increased hp, fast regen of stamina, technique increase, and one that sorta does a smaller amount of all those. Build is mostly technique and capacity. I would not say my build is optimized and my level when doing this was prob low 70s. Hope this helps!
I appreciate that you analyzed the moves and the attack windows in the second phase and not just say "use throwables"
You're welcome! It's so hard to get throwables out when he's so fast, so have to look for those small windows, lol.
I agree this was actually super helpful and an absolute blessing. Much appreciated!
Me who have been saving all those throwable since the beginning of the game. My time have come. Time to take out the trash with my trashes.
Lol! Your time has come indeed, lol
Me tooo 🤣🤣🤣
U don't even need to save them, u can buy unlimited throwables in shop ..
Lolz. You can buy all the throwables you want. I didn't use them much until Manus 2nd phase. Still working on this guy. Think the only way for nameless is to get good at parrying and memorize his moves souls style. I guess there was cheese in souls too but whateve.
For sure 😅😅
My biggest problem with this game is them giving you poise and *only* you. So have fun getting staggered over and over again while your enemies simply ignore half the things you do
I also hate every game mechanics that makes me unable to move
literally this!

anyways a big thanks to this guy i really struggled with this boss but he made it seem like a piece of cake.

I'm glad the video has been a help for you and thanks for the support!
I finally defeated him yesterday. combined thorwabels, AEGIS legion arm, trident of the covenant. As always a big thank you 🙌😀.
Glad you were able to take him out! And I'll have to check out the trident of the covenant!
Same set-up but I have the perfect parry 2x. After 35 deaths I manage to kill him.
So I kind of followed your method. For the first phase, I tried my best to parry and dodge to save legion. I used the trident and electric grindstone.
Once second phase started, I used your shield up and attack technique. Once he was down to half health, that's when I started to throw whatever I had. Not as clean as yours but still worked.
Also if people don't know, the Advance Wishstone (restores Legion) can be helpful. Just thought I'd share my way in case someone is having trouble.
Thanks for the extra tips for people! And glad you were able to take him down! Best of luck if you decide to do NG+!

Congrats on finishing the game!
I actually gave up. I tried maybe 10 times with two different builds. It's not fun. Malenia was still fun even though she took like 40 tries at least.
Had to come back and say thanks, this method worked for me in the end, took some trial and error but throwables for phase 2 was how i got through.
Thanks for letting me know! Phase 2 is crazy difficult but throwables make is just bareable enough, lol. Congrats on finishing the game!
This video helped so much!! 😭 was about to give in but kept grinding and finally got him.

I’d recommend just learning how to parry this guy as it is really satisfying to do
I'm all for a difficult final fight, but this is insane. I can't get his moves down in phase 2 no matter how hard I try cuz the fact that he has 2 swords trips me up so bad. Plus you don't have the option to summon help. The achievements might say otherwise, but I beat the game and idc anymore cuz this boss has broken me to pieces
I'm sorry to hear you're having so much trouble with him! I will say he is by FAR the hardest boss in the game, but at least you could still take the win and get the credits to roll with the other ending!
@@Ogles That's the thing, I've developed a kind of Stockholm Syndrome with this boss😂 I can't bring myself to pick the no-fight ending. I got him down to 1/5 of his health after writing this comment so now I just can't leave! So close!!
@QuinnyBean Oh well if you’re that close def don’t give up!! Keep going and you’ll have him soon!
@@Ogles I GOT HIM!!!!!!! I used the booster glaive Blade and salamander handle and mostly used the tap RT attack
Congratulations!! Know that heart had to be pumping near the end of the battle too lol. Now on to NG+! Lol
I still haven't beat him. But you're the man! Definitely the most helpful video I've watched. I had to take a break after trying for 2 days.
I hope you do take him out soon! He's def tough, but just keep at it!
I did it 😢😢😅😅😅😅🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊🎉😊🎉😊🎉🎉😮😂😅🎉😅🎉😊🎉😊🎉😅🎉😅🎉😊😊😅🎉😅🎉😅🎉
You beat him yet?
@@cadenswanson3412 I did that same day! Throwables was massive and I started getting parrys down much better. Have a little shame cause I want to try to beat him with 0 throwables lol. But now I'm replaying elden ring 😁
your voice makes me not want to break my controller thank you
lol, well I'm happy to have helped save a controller
I have a weapon/build suggestion. Try using the "Two Dragon Sword +5" technique boost to the hilt and a technique build. The damage is decent per swing. AND simply locking on and holding left while swinging at him dodges most attacks. The character gets so low while using the katana that many of the attacks just go over its head. Hope this helps people using Technique builds.
Honestly, when I got to this point I was just done with this game. I gave up my heart, and let the terrible ending play out with a smile on my face.
Totally understand, lol. He is a very tough boss to go against.
عندي طريقة سهله عليك اتباعها لهزيمته
Is it possible to give up your heart after you’ve chosen not to?
@@Ararico91 It is! You can just go back to a Skygazer and give the heart there.
I'm with you brother, I can't beat him... Not want to stay 3-4 hours fighting, not for me
Just finished the game and killed the nomeless puppet...... That was crazy.... I tried so loooong but in the end with the two dragon sword I've done it! What a relief!
Glad you were able to take him down and finish up the game!
Thanks a lot for the tip in phase one, it was really getting on my nerves.
You’re more than welcome! Best of luck on phase 2 now as well!
Stage one i just guarded or perfect gaurded his attacks with electric abrasive. Second stage i used the shield method you did in 1 but when i ran out of legiin i used the perfect guard grindstone (2x) and attacked when he was stunned i used 3 legion reloads repeated the shield method and it was enough to finish him
That's a great way to go about it as well! Glad you were able to take him out!
Você foi o ÚNICO que não disse pra só ficar tacando arremesáveis. Mostrou cada movimento dele e como desviar. Eu estava preso nele há dias. Mas assim que segui as tuas dicas, consegui matar ele. GANHOU LIKE E MAIS UM INSCRITO NO CANAL. ❤
Thanks! This is one of the bosses where there’s so much more than just throwables. They do work but you have to learn the fight a bit to know when to be able to throw them. Congrats on finishing the game!
Só acho que todos os chefes são fáceis até chegar a este. Há uma diferença enorme de dificuldade. Tiraram dos outros para pôr no chefe final 😂😂
Beat him finally, great method. I only used 26 throwable attacks
For me the easiest way was to repeat the same tactic from phase 1 in phase 2, but you need to restore legion using consumables and add electricity to rapier again. Phase 2 was harder than phase 1 using this tactic but still manageable. And you don't need to spend ton of ergo on throwables. BTW thanks for the video, without it I would probably destroy something 😅
I can't get the windows you get on 2nd phase, one throwable and I run and he's still on me with his Olympian sprints..but this is still best strategy I've seen, aegis melts his 1st phase..I am on ng+ also since I gave my heart in ng..thanks for all your hard work🤘✌✌
You're more than welcome! And just got to keep that distance and time some of the rolls right. It's still fairly hard, but the throwables really is the safest way to take him out. Best of luck!
This does not work on new game plus. He just hits too hard and keeps combo-ing. If you stop to throw, he will hit and kill you.
Nice one, I beat him yesterday using a combo of parry, dodge and 3 shot puts. It a tough fight, the hardest part it, as you said, picking the right time to use the item as well as getting the charged R2 in for the stagger, I messed that up so many times.
Congrats! And you have the extra skills to get the parrys in there!
You can use a shotput when the white bar shows to stagger without needing to hold R2 :)
@@Hel1Spawn I'll give that a 'shot', thanks 😁. I'm doing NG+ at the moment, will see how far I get. Lords of The Fallen out soon so I have until then.
I did so many times to the call of that blinking white siren. I can't even tell you
Very nice work. I beat him when i was playing this after launch, and recently just started up again for the last achievement (truth ending) and god damn my 1st attepmt almost killed him, but have been struggling. Its even harder to do when your wife is talking to you the full time lol. Ill have to try again when i can play with no distraction.
The shield option did nothing unfortunately. His sword cuts right through after one block. Fully upgraded shield.
It's possible that you don't have much stamina built up
@@Oglesyou are probably right. I think I have to play around with my stats.
This game is such hot garbage. Any boss that requires this much cheese is crap, just like the design of the fight.
@@ThePequenocristoI hope you don’t intend on playing sekiro
@andrewstafford8931 sekiro is just memorization, this boss is a pain trying to read with all this red and yellow glowey crap everywhere I can't see shit but the fury attacks lol
stopped playing 3 days ago to wait for this video lol.. you are a life saver! gonna try again tonight. thank you!
Well I hope it helps you take him out! It is quite a battle but I'm sure you can get him!
Any luck? xD
@@iTTV_Kudo nope - but I've gotten the first phase down decently with just perfect parries - goal is first phase with 9 or 10 heals left... 2nd phase still feels impossible, but I'm slowly learning how to evade and toss.. I'll get it eventually just have limited play time lately.
The developers designed the most bullsh*t boss in a game ever. This boss is harder than Primodial Malzeno.
Thank you very much for this video ! Your explanations are perfect and allowed me to beat this boss without losing my mind. I wasn't sure about using throwables efficiently and you made it possible !
You're more than welcome! I'm glad you were able to take him out and keep your sanity! lol. Congrats on finishing up the game!
Love this dude's accent. For real.
lol, appreciate it!
I have a couple of questions: what did you do to slow the usage of legion? And did you upgrade the throwing objects damage?
I usw the shield on maximum and poke them with some spear
Thanks buddy it was pain. I died a lot, I'm not saying how many but that helped
He is truly a VERY tough boss so dying a good number of times is nearly expected, lol
Pedagogical and more in-depth than many other guides. Thanks!
You're more than welcome! He's so fast that you almost have to break down some of the attacks to find the right time to work some of your moves in. Glad it helped you!
Idk how old this version is. In the most recent page he’s overly aggressive and he keeps spamming attacks and close the very quick
I actually followed this strat, and won at my 30th attempt, though I was trembling the whole time but the throwable saves me at phrase 2, 7 carcass body fluid, 6 throwing cell when he's in half health, thanks for this video!! I also got the true ending in my first playthrough. 🫶
I'm glad you were able to take him out! And know the feeling of barely winning and the heart racing! Congrats on finishing the game!
I beat that nameless puppet today at 🆕 game plus..he's damage is double..but I'm using proof of humanity sword max level and puppet strings max level... perfect block grindstone use for 2nd Phase because that combos are insane... Finally I got the rise of p ending...
I'm glad you were able to conquer one of the hardest bosses in the soulsborne series! Congrats on the win!
@@Ogles tnx man..I appreciate your response...
Best strategy video 🙌
Thanks!
Thank you I just beat the boss with your help!!!!!! I thank you very much
You are more than welcome! He's a tough boss for sure but congrats on finishing the game!
I suck at this game but his first phase wasn’t too hard to learn the parry timings for. I saved my aegis arm for second phase and blocked while attacking to get my guard regen back until he was dead.
Now i am able to get to the 2 stage without spending pulse. Still cant kill him. Do you have a guide for p organs and leveling that you uses?
His move set is nothing like this now, he is way faster and way more agro. Can you do an updated video?
Appreciate the content for the game Ogles!
I don't know if it's your forte or not but I was wondering if you were planning on doing any lore videos?
I just completed it, decided to forgo the Nameless Puppet fight but I had an absolute blast, just trying to decipher the story for what's what now.
Especially given the ties to different fantasy tales alluded to in the endings.
You're more than welcome! Thanks for checking out some of the videos! And I've been debating on doing some lore for it honestly because the game has crafted a pretty unique story. It's an odd connection but sorta reminds me of Shrek in that they are going to try and do a retelling of all these fairy tales now, lol. Except instead of comedy like Shrek, it's a dark retelling. But the Wizard of Oz that they seem to be hinting at would be phenomenal. I read the book years ago and can totally see how they would go dark on that one.
@@Ogles You came in clutch G, I just know you've saved tons of players from a headache or worse.
Shrek is a wild connection but that actually makes a lot of sense, not in the least because those movies are actually way darker than most people think they are (and I guess that holds for most children's tales tbh) with the police brutality bits and the fate of mama bear.
Well you having read the books is great news, gives a different perspective to it all and it might be a future opportunity if Neowiz decides on announcing anything with The Game Awards looming around the corner.
You might remember the Tin Man being a human before losing his limbs and all, and having to go out to search for a heart funnily enough.
The parallels are just too clean cut for it to be a coincidence, I can kind of see Giangio/P.P. being the Patches character for these games and I've actually seen a very substantial theory about him being the Mad Hatter lol
Also you might recall there's a broken yellow stargazer at the Path of the Pilgrim, I think that could easily be the entrance for DLC and the yellow brick road while we're at it.
I've seen people compare at least this game to the way Guillermo Del Toro makes his movies thematically probably because he's done that wonderful Pinocchio movie as well and I hope they manage to further this trend. Also even just hinting to some kind of evil James Franco is just too funny of a prospect for a wizard of oz game 😂
Whoever at Neowiz was in charge of the code for ensuring the boss is staggered after getting hit with a charged r2 while the window was up should lose his job and be forcibly sterilized. More than half of the time, they just shrug off the charge attack and smash you anyway.
Are you maybe doing a dash charge attack? You need to stand still and do a fully charged heavy
The problem is that all pulses are gone after first phase.
Very helpful, now I need to restart my P organ and farm more ego to buy throwables...
Glad it helped you! Best of luck farming the ergo and taking out the boss!
@@Ogles In Chapter 9 there's a stargazer outside the hotel, there are some bald head look like Tyrant in RE， with a stick .
They are weak in back and they're standing in same building. Just killing all bald with overcoat. One run you can farm 10000 ergo.
1st phase strategy easily works,
4 out 5 times received no damage and under 20 seconds
2nd phase a different story
The second phase will take a few tries to get the timing and everything down, but don't give up!
@@Ogles what a coincidence you replied because I just did it! 100% throwables damage on 2nd phase. It felt cheap but I'm a casul
@chickens00p AWESOME!! Congrats!
I must be fighting different boss. Move sets totally different for me. Tried against wall but he moves to side and knocks me away from wall.
I can cream this fkr in the first phase using electric mace and puppet string but 2nd is a whole different story. He is just on me. Still trying. I have to be on 100 tries. I'm too stubborn to give up though
Keep at him and you'll get him before much longer! He's def tough!
"Max you can carry" I have no p organ upgrades on consumables. Tried throwing stuff 2hrs last night and took off about 50% phase 2. Gave up after about 25 attempts. Worse garbage fight in the game, he devours ur stamina bar in phase 2.
Use the P organs for throwables not consumables for it to increase. Also the throwables scale with certain stats too. Hope this helps!
Personnaly he just doesn't let me be far from him. From the very beginning of both phases he rushes straight at me >
I beat him with Wrench head and Baton handle and a few acid throws led along with electric grindstone
Nice! That sounds like a solid strategy as well!
Every Nameless Puppet Guide i've seen on YT: just beat the boss using items and skill. 🙈
update i beat the nameless after the recent patch and now im on to ng+ nameless then after ng+ nameless i dont have too worry about this boss
i try to run away and keep my distance but he’s on me instantly. developers were like “oh no matter wgere the player is we will have instant tracking and ya the boss doesn’t need stamina so he can hit as many times as he wants.
Not bad if a staretgy if you reqlly pissed at him!
Did use the counter of the Dragion Sword in P1 myself but P2 it is too hard to time. Because of that did ai have a fully uphraded Grenadelauncher for him in P2 and like you did, throwables. In Ng++ he just hita to god damn hard even with Max life
Very helpful
Glad it worked well for you!
Thank you so much for helping me through this game but I'm afraid I cannot beat this boss. 3 days...I just got a flawless victory on the first stage but second stage I died in 6 seconds...that's not fun. I.have looked up on reddit an UA-cam. This boss is too hard an its not fun .
I'm sorry the boss is proving troublesome for you! He is by far the hardest one in the game and a massive leap above the rest. But I'm glad the game at least made him optional for players. Best of luck if you keep trying him though!
I am so tired of this boss and redoing phase 1 over and over; I had to turn the sound off to even keep playing. I am not able to stay away from him in phase 2 for most of the moves. Looking at your footage it almost seems like you're playing a different game sometimes considering how fast you are moving away from him before he does another attack. I'm sure it is user error, but I'll be glad when this is finally over. It definitely soured me on the idea of doing NG+. Luckily I made a backup save, so after failing a few times when I'm using throwables, I can reload the save and beat my head against the wall some more without having to go farm again.
A backup save does help when trying multiple times back to back to get him. And I just to full dashes away from him when I can and I also keep a pretty light build on my character in general. I hope you get him soon!
there’s nothing i can do about the second phase in terms of running away to throw things, constant attacks from a far catch up to me, doesn’t give any care for crit damage either which is how i have gotten thru the entire game with this dagger
Me realized very easy to beat him with aegis shield and acid weapon
Additional, absolute defence on great sword, he cant do any shjt😂
It’s been days, idk why but this game is very hard for me.
Sad is the parrying doesn’t work well in lies of p and runaway to throw stuff on him shows me how bad the design of this boss is, it’s for me the worst boss.
I tried this and the shield didn't block shit. I might as well have been blocking with my weapon. He still takes a huge chunk of my health
Make sure you have the Aegis shield upgraded, but as long as you have stamina it should be working just fine
It only works with Aegis really in phase 1. Phase 2 kind of useless need to dodge roll more I guess
my character does this weird jump and roll sometimes and then hes on me instantly.
alright i figured out what was wrong with my jumping problem. as i tried to run away from nameless in second phase i kept pushing in l3 and jumping. the controller is so sensitive. i switched jump to left on dpad for now. i did much better and was able to get off more throwables because i wasn’t stupid jumping lol. this boss is still ass. i don’t know how anyone ever beats him melee. ya guarding and perfect parrys i guess but it has to be a perfect run.
Can’t run away from him 2nd phase he catches me
While aegis shield is up, if you spam block (L1) you can perfect guard the fury attacks. I beat him last night and I never took any damage from fury attacks by doing this
Holy cow, I did not know that! That's a great strategy as well!
@@Ogles yeah I think it's a bug, but it works. Just make sure aegis is fully out before spamming. He's so fast, it's easy to start spamming block while in the animation of pulling it out and then you'll just be using regular block. And you really get a feel for how long it takes to pull out the aegis lol
@@COREcasual I'd say it probably is a bug; however, until it's fixed I say go for it! lol
I couldn't get this to work. Sometimes he combos for like 5-10 seconds.
@@COREcasual In NG+2 you can get an ability that just blocks all fury attacks. Essentially, it treats them as normal attacks. It puts all bosses on easy mode when paired with Aegis.
I'm so stuck in this stage. Ugh. 😢 I'm not so good at distancing and dodge especially since he's so so fast
I'm sorry you're having issues! I hope you're able to take him out soon!
Going to be honest I didn't think it would work on ng+ 3 lol I appreciate it bro!✊🏽🔥
You're truly a legend to have finished up NG+3!
If you hair got grey then its better to remove the mask before the fight so you can see your tears. Geppeto will notice that and apologize to you
I've 30 in advance. Any idea which other thing to level up to do more damage with throwables?. Can't seem to outrun him
There mustve been a patch to input read, because this man literally became wesker.
I hope they didn't nerf him too much because it was a great finish to the game!
@Ogles Wesker, as in the asshat who has a thing for teleporting, from reaident evil 5.
Dude has broken me. I'm almost in tears. I cannot beat him. Over 10hrs. I get through phase 1 super easy, but I can't get more than two hits.
He will not stop spinning. Just endless combos. Endless. I'm not kidding. Idk if this is a bug or what but I didn't even have this much issue with melania. Idk wtf is going on, but I'm at my breaking point with this asshole.
I have no chance to get a distance between us. No chance to get away from him. Nothing works…first face is very easy but the second…
Good strat. But what weapon are you using? Also my throwables seem to run out on this boss really quick without doing a lot of damage even though I can hold 6 in each slot.
I'm using the starting weapon from the dexterity class. And your throwable scale with different stats so might need to look at respecing your character.
I was able to beat the stage 1 but still have trouble with stage. 2. He's just too damn fast. I don't know what to to do. I don't want to give the heart
I tried this, but Aegis doesn't even last long enough for a quarter of the first phase, and it's knocked away with almost every attack
I then tried to use the consumables in phase 2, but it takes almost all 6 consumables to even proc the status, followed by the status consuming barely 10% of their health.
Looks like there's little choice but to 'git gud'
Finally finished this god awful fight and that meaning this god awful game as well, it was good but then around chapter 6-7 this game started to drag and my god it didn’t stop, doesn’t help that 75% of the bosses and enemies are the must unbearable artificially difficult bullshit of all time, good riddance to this dragged on slog trash game
lol, well at least it's over for you now. I will agree that the first half is probably stronger than the second, but I still liked it as a whole! The final chapters had some of the best soundtrack songs on the game too. Sorry you didn't enjoy it as a whole though!
So my Legion just runs out and I die.
May need to keep some Legion magazines handy if you haven't buffed the overall legion stats yet.
This boss is harder than Malenia or Isshin.
Agreed about Malenia, but whew Isshin was really tough lol
Wonderful game ❤
Kicked nameless puppet 1st try 🎉😂
You're quite the expert to have taken him out first try! Congrats!
@@Ogles
😍💖✌
what Amulets do you use? and what is your build?. i have tried over 20 times now. starting to get frustrated hahaha 😊
My amulets increased hp, fast regen of stamina, technique increase, and one that sorta does a smaller amount of all those. Build is mostly technique and capacity. I would not say my build is optimized and my level when doing this was prob low 70s. Hope this helps!
Tried it unfortunately the second phase just didn’t seem to go as smoothly as the 1st the damn boos was on my ass faster than I could run
so people talk about how elden ring is hard ? how sekiro hard ? this boss is harder than them compeind
This seriously is one of the hardest souls like bosses I've come across
