I wonder what happened, seems like they wanted to replicate the base game final boss experience. Awesome first phase followed by a shitty second one.

[@Mmoplayer4]

I 100% agree, FromSoft is unfortunately getting a bit sloppy with their boss design in this game at points. Hopefully they step away from the current philosophy that has produced Radahn’s 2nd phase. It only takes a few poor moves to make an otherwise really fun fight into genuine BS

This fight is really cinematic and cool but god is it bullshit. The first phase is so much fun (aside from double-slash into X sweep) but in the second phase you're either blinded by the light or waiting for him to do parryable moves. And the parry ruins everything good about first phase as well, just becomes a will-they-wont-they. Props for doing it without parry man. That AOE in the 2nd phase makes the whole fight so frustrating without it, just a worse implementation of Gael's cape shit that is meant to make your rolls more precise.

[@shinyhydreigon7257]

Nah just roll in to all his attacks and you are completely fine. Literally just learn to stay with him the whole fight and it will pretty much never hit you. But if you mess up once getting back into position is ROUGH. Phase 1 is weird because its literally just a dodge sim - no strafes, no jumps, nothing. Very simplistic fight where you just have to learn the timings and follow that strictly. Which is a shame because Rellana exists and is god tier.

@@shinyhydreigon7257 roll into him and the aoe will still sometimes hit you, because it's janky as fuck. there's also some moves you have to roll left or right for that can just tag you for zero reason.

[@HerMi.T]

​​​@@largeladcfb158 yeah that's the challenge. You have to be precise in dodging and where to dodge. It is the final boss. About aoe still hitting you. What? You wouldn't get hit if you are dodging right. But If you made a mistake I.e mistiming the dodge. Then It will punish you. All of the attacks are very doable. Light trails force you to be more precise in rolling and decision making where to roll in the right time as fast as possible. Aoe only hit if you made a mistake. Yeah it has a small window of mistakes but it is also the final boss. Getting hit doesn't always mean hitboxes are janky. Waterfowl is unfair because it is very undodgeable but other than double cross slice with slash. I don't think there is any bad attack in his patterns. I also hear that messmer snakes and gaius charge have bad hitboxes too. So if he's aoe is really janky. Then it can be fixed but it doesn't mean the messmer is a bad boss. Although I never face the problem of aoe hitting you out of nowhere. I think it is a true final boss for me. A real challenge instead of waterfowl bullshit which is like his one attack, very frame perfect.

[@HerMi.T]

Nah I don't find any attack impossible to dodge except that one which everyone is talking about. It is a difficult fight and wants you to be precise and aware of your environment. So that you will not get hit by light trails. It is what I wanted from a final boss, a mechanical challenge not a waterfowl type challenge. You have to time your dodge precisely and move in the right direction. So that you can dodge both his light trails and attacks . And then hit him. A very simple fight in concept. Your criticism that light can be blinding is a fair criticism though. Other criticism is weird nitpicking. I don't get why aoe is bad? It makes you more precise and it is not really janky.

Dude, great video. Fantastic editing, funny and informative commentary, just solid work man. Keep making stuff like this ❤

[@Afflictamine]

this boss is absolutely fucked lol

[@bombthing]

I think its overall a great fight once you understand the moveset, phase 2 was just extremely difficult to learn with Miquella's hair obscuring so much and the fact that you get hit once and then you get flashbanged by light which causes you to get destroyed by more attacks. This fight has potential to be so good though, it was just stupidly hard to learn

[@tyler547]

Currently learning the fight. Phase 1 is fucking awesome, but god damn phase 2 is going to take a longgggggg time.

[@Kir4__qu33n]

It’s just a matter of time, I’ve been learning him and it’s so rewarding that makes the fight so great

[@enchengzhou7061]

If it's hard to learn due to it's terrible visuals, how is it a good fight. The fact that there are videos trying to explain the moves already says a lot about it. It's badly designed and obtuse, enough that people are looking at a guide instead of doing the try and repeat.

[@bombthing]

@@enchengzhou7061 a fight is not bad because it is hard to learn and likewise a fight being straightforward does not necessarily make it better.That makes mastering the fight feel more rewarding. I think it's ok to have bosses that feel completely unfair the first time you fight them, but once you finally learn how to counter it, it makes you feel like you just climbed a mountain, which is why Malenia was my favorite boss in the base game. The visuals do distract and obscure and that is an objective flaw that I will not deny, but imo it doesnt ruin the fight, it brings it out of being S tier, but it's still A tier imo. All that said, he's still definitely not my favorite boss in the dlc, Midra, Rellana, and Messmer are the stars of the show there

[@Oneiric_Benevolence]

It's not very fun to learn. Kinda like Malenia's waterfowl. Technically fully dodgeable but no regular person would ever have the motivation or time to figure it out on their own. Terrible design.

[@MrTokinedz]

They really fucked up this boss both lore and design wise; phase 1 is fine, whatever, but phase 2 just ruins it all.

[@RubALamp]

His double slash move is the one that always hits me and drains my flasks. If it weren't for that stupid move this fight would be considerably easier.

[@Robbay363]

I loved this DLC a lot. But I hope the backlash to some of these fights gets From to reconsider their need to keep escalating the difficulty. With this boss we're solidly in fan mod territory. I think if they push the difficulty any harder it will be straight up unplayable.

[@LB-eh7sr]

this fight was almost unplayable already with several combos thats almost impossible to dodge without getting hit, could you imagine if they gave this boss fight 2 full health bars like malenia

I agree this fight sucks. It's just kill him quickly and be done with all the random bullshit happening on screen. It's by far my least favorite fight in the DLC.

[@Noizzed]

I hate the idea that we should fight extremely broken bosses because they're lorewise supposed to be strong but we who slayed a dozen demi-gods and used their power to strenghten ourselves still staggered by a random peasant or cannot stagger anything slightly bigger than ourselves.

[@EldenPeasant]

Love the first phase, second phase is some anime protaganist BS that do not deserve a fair fight

[@idktbh6856]

how am i supposed to dodge the cross slash attack in 2nd phase?

[@gabzsy4924]

Some people are taking 100, 200 or even more tries just to beat him normally. Imagine doing a SL 1 no hit runs. At this point instead of being a game it becomes a job and a chore. Boss encounters peaked at DS3 with Gael.

[@AngstUrnacht]

Every single boss in the DLC was magnificent - felt like ds3 and bloodborne quality, except this boss. He feels so underdeveloped and made to be flashy and cool without considering how a person can learn his awkward attacks (awkward as in his weapons act as actual parts of his body so they can like slide you around sometimes and also the terrain making it so his attacks hit you inconsistently) plus the damn flashbangs.

[@wolfrosefrost5475]

Sekiro block goes great when facing him, especially if you get as close as possible to him. The only exception to this is his gravity attacks excluding the pull, his purely holy attacks, his double sword swing from the right, and his slam attacks in the second phase. These attacks you’ll want to still dodge for one reason or another.

[@receipt1227]

Recommend trying out holy defense talisman, there’s a +2 you can get in the shaman village and a guard block talisman that helps negate the holy damage. And maybe use the defense talisman that raises ur stat up, helps a ton when using deflect against this boss in my experience.

[@MaskChangeYT]

This man obviously spent more than 20 hours on this bullshit boss, and packed all the crucial information into only 3 minutes. INSANE!

[@Milky36N1]

i came to this video just for this bruh 0:22

[@AnneWest_]

I've also found when he launches the boulders at you from the sky you can sprint to the side and jump as they start to get close and seems to mess up their tracking causing them to miss. Works if you don't have the time to run backwards. Otherwise I was using vow of the indomitable until I learned that which if timed right can work through the entire barrage but doesn't leave you in the best spot for his follow up in second phase. Also I can't believe it still has to be said but, level your vigor! I've been helping people as a summon and 90% of the people who summon me have 1000 - 1500 health causing them to get 1-2 shot. He will always target the host at the beginning of his second phase and that is where so many runs end

[@jonjo3544]

Even though I ain’t doing a no hit run, these tips are really useful for me cause I’m struggling a bunch in this fight, you’re amazing!

[@brettfrasco]

What really gest me in the 2nd phase is the LAG spike I get with all the light shows and shit. I have a decent PC and have had zero lag issues running this game on Ultra. But once that 2nd phase starts and he throws those after-image things, my PC turns to doodoo

Phase 1 is actually really tight on timing and enjoyable. Phase 2 is horrible. Ive seen people say that greatshield spear poking does wonders against this boss but im honestly too afraid to test it. Also i saw people say you can parry this guy? Super helpful vid otherwise, now i just gotta figure out how to dodge his double slash

[@jamiefenwick8359]

Can confirm great shield poking works absolute wonders. I was getting absolutely destroyed then beat it on my first try after busting out the fingerprint shield and sword lance. You can parry him and that is also really quite effective I think this this person though was doing a no-parry no-hit.

[@warstomped8744]

easiest strat now is Fingerprint Shield + Shield Grease (for the magic beams) and Antspur Rapier he gets rotted and whatever status you decide to have along with it (Poison, Bleed, Frostbite) Then just raise your shield and poke. It's kinda cheesy as you don't really need to learn his skillset, and it's much easier than other strategies, but it's a game mechanic, up you to decide whether it's fair or not.

I love the first phase(except meteors), probably one of my favorite fights ever. Second phase is dope, looks awesome, but the light pillars after each attack ruins everything. It removes all possibility of dodging using anything other than a roll into him(and shields, i guess, never used those). It limits the punish windows a ridiculous amount so the fight drags on. If the light pillars were only for the attacks unique to 2nd phase, it would be fine. I know that I enjoyed the fight, since I miss fighting him. I just can’t imagine fighting the second phase nonsense with NG+ stats.

Glad you got it. FYI. For future reference: the damage stats(STR, DEX, INT, FAI, ARC) all scale well up to 80. After that you're not getting the same return on your investment, so it's best to leave it at 80 and use thise its elsewhere. For example, my first build was a DEX build. 60 Vigor, 80 DEX, 30 Endurance. That's all you need for a basic DEX build.

the double slash that always kills in p2 is the main problem I agree, other than that it is just a long learning process that isn't required for a lot of other bosses which is why a lot of people seem salty I think.

[@chertopo_lokh]

my favourite part about the cross slash is that in the first phase you can dodge it just fine with crucible talisman but in the second phase backstepping would often place you right in the holy beams. they give you the tool to avoid an attack and devalue it immediately, like holy shit this is so ass i love it. i gave up on the walking left simulator, just parry him to death
