Code Vein - How to Defeat Hellfire Knight EASY (99K Damage)

[@thecardon]

Buff time: 4mins Boss Kill Time: 21 secs

[@fatherAmadeus]

This was great! I've seen similar builds around but your video really broke it down in an easy to follow way. Excellent guide.

[@veteransoul]

After some testing, this EXACT build is perfect for Lord of Thunder. Simply replace Lightning with Ice. Lord of Thunder was the only one to go down in 1 hit. Frozen Empress and Hellfire Knight took a few swings after the initial hit. But Lord of Thunder? Decimated. 11/10, thank you for helping me unlock the most broken attack in the game. (Even with the nerfed Final Journey) Edit: Was level 176 when this was done.

[@leakingamps2050]

I don't make it to Lord of Thunder before he starts attacking. What should I be doing differently?

[@XxBlack_SmokexX]

Literally tho he be moving wayyyyyy to much lol

[@SkyyWulf]

Even easier with iceblood spamming the ice spikes he gets stunlocked and melted under 30 seconds no need for all the one shot preparation and risk

[@stevenlindemann8982]

It still works. Did it with lvl 153 and works pretty good (got the 99k damage)

[@Omicron9999]

You have to hit Hellfire Knight in the head to oneshot him. He has less defense there, and although the max damage that can be displayed is 99k, you can actually do over that if you hit his weakspot. It'll still show as 99k, only he'll die instead of surviving on like 5% HP.

[@MichaelH155]

There is an even better build that can completely one shot this boss. Pretty much everything is this same except you’re using Greatswords/Hammers and using Steadfast Strike that you find in the Pollux blood code (So this build would require the Frozen Empress DLC). With the Argent Wolf King GS you’ll one shot the boss completely. Absolutely mad.

[@veteransoul]

You are correct about it working. Not sure how much as i haven't fully tested it. However! I did test it against the Queen's Knight Reborn in the depths, and it easily decimated them. The damage seems comparable, though it would likely come down to Steadfast Strike vs Severing Abyss for damage multiplier. As it is the Gifts doing all this, and not the weapons per say. Long story short: Yes, this also one-shots bosses.

[@meshelkarlee5002]

I'm confused I didn't one shot him?

[@meshelkarlee5002]

@@veteransoul also what do you mean?????

[@sensen7216]

Yeah so I've tried this and I can't deal any more than 33k to Satan.

[@TarXmin]

OMG thanks mate iv been stuck on this for about 2 weeks now it took 5 hits altogether.. epic

[@TarXmin]

Do you have any tips on getting the flamecore 1.2.3

[@alvinpeterson1039]

Holy Shit Silverback. Thank you dude. This truely kept me from raging out on this boss. Thanks again bro.

[@alvinpeterson1039]

Subbed. You earned it. Great video really helpful.

[@Jesthor]

Amazing build. Thanks for the 23 seconds of fun. :D

[@SkyExplosion]

The funniest thing in the world is every freaking build uses final journey then it got nerfed into the dirt. I mean you can still use it yes but its only good for one shot builds.

[@chavezac0]

I swear this boss is so easy he just has a massive health pool

[@Rain1]

Agreed completely. I'm doing the Pipe of Thralldom challenge for all three of them and this guy is the actual easiest with no competition compared to the other two. The lightning guy is the worst with all the randomness of his attacks.

[@Guardian-of-Light137]

Yeah he was intimidating at first but then I spent a few hours fighting and realized just how exploitable his attack patterns are to the point that with enough patience and proper positioning you can easily do this without getting hit. You just have to make sure you can dodge his stupid power up move or whatever it is the massive aoe that surrounds him THAT I SWEAR HE ACTIVATES RANDOMLY OUT OF SPITE! ... Oh and that fast dive attack that seems to come just as randomly. Other than those 2 attacks he's so easy to dodge after you study him for a few.

[@Kain_Highwind_]

Didn't know this thing was weak to thunder. I always went Ice but it took almost no damage. Thanks for this precious hint, the right element saved me from being stuck against it. xD

[@Valkyrie_Veil]

Thanks, dude! Just what I needed. c:

[@eddmario]

Not bad, but I seem to be having the issue where he jumps back as soon as I use Severing Abyss, so the attack ends up missing...

[@mdiaz013184]

I only do about 22k damage...was most of this stuff nerfed perhaps?

[@evandeshields93]

Ok so I'm level 296, I used all the skills you stated except switched halberd with one handed sword. Maxed out weapon and veil, with the transformations you used and used the attack...and no dice.

[@darkhound222]

Did the health show up? Cause you cant attack until you absolutely know he will take the damage

[@sethcaron4703]

One handed swords have roughly 40% less attack than the obliterator axe halberd

[@ventiris]

So im about level 151 rn and I did everything you did minus two passive skills, but I used all the active skills on the boss in Misty Ruins and I only did 3K? In training I did around 25K with a one handed sword... Is it my level or does it work differently in the depths (NVM I didn't wait for the health to fully show up)

[@Silverbakk]

Ventiris level definitely shouldn’t be an issue, what passive skills are you missing?

[@JackVelladeath]

If you move too quick while the boss is standing up and doing his little roar he will not take full damage but instead a tiny amount.

[@31jacen]

Severing abyss has a slightly wonky hit box. Try to stand at where his head comes down instead of running close to his chest

[@wisekelly5514]

Thanx so much, I needed this. 😎👌🏻

[@Prodigygaming24]

@Saribro thanks alot the build really works

[@baertigerbernd5701]

You can use the Wolfaxe too. It's great. Thy for this guide

[@christianridgway2439]

ive used this build but change lighting to ice to one shot the thunder boss of the third dlc.

[@MachinaBahamut]

Right now I'm curious if this build works with other weapons such as one handed Swords, two handed Swords and Hammers

[@minh7320]

Kinda late to ask now, but is it okto switch the qeapon with a one handed sword or argent poleaxe? And also I am on my third playthrough no diff boost (to get all endings), does this affect the difficulty of the Hellfire Knight? Thx in advance

[@Dandevan]

I’ve followed every step but I only deal about 58k on my first strike, a little over half health. I am147

[@hybridlord5]

Is there a way to do this with one-handed sword? I really want to unlock the Inferno Blade.

[@saltysweetcakes4011]

nah my boi, this worked on difficulty 10 lmao i didnt realise it was 10 till after, it just did 97k instead of 99k

[@shadzangoose3553]

Can you make a video of hellfire knight using a heavy blade for a one shot build? I'd tried countless time to do it but I end up failing every time.

[@AtticusStar]

I need to beat it with Io and Conviction Spike, Is it an issue to swap an ability out? Is Jack a requirement

[@Drewdignity]

Want to get the costume I see. sadly Jack is required otherwise the damage wont be that high

[@earlthewaffle]

Still works but you need to have the exact things he has. I tried doing it with Io's Halberd but it only did 30,000

[@eln2211]

Thanks man it did the trick!!!

[@fyrelord7826]

Every time I try this strategy, I only do about 718 damage. Not 718k......718. What am I doing wrong?

[@birdbrain9625]

Ah damn you got me beat by one second 😏

[@Silverbakk]

That’s just a lucky second is all 😂 Thanks for watching and enjoy the weekend!

[@Strider-Ragnarok]

LOL! I went at level 114... the best I can do is get him to half health. So, yes, I need to get a lot more levels.

[@otakulover8250]

it doesn't work anymore, sadly ;-;

[@mrsuporter9055]

Only lvl 200? bruh i jumped in to fight the boss at level 100... No wonder why i barely do any damage to him even with my equipment 10+

[@fogz]

Me too lmao

[@viruschris3160]

Does your strength need to be at a certain number? Cause I used this and I did only half of its health despite being 99999 in damage. Do I need to level up so more? I'm at level 145 currently and I like to beat this boss to get the Blood Veil it drops.

[@dorkie]

Pretty sure there’s been many many many nerfs to the game and you can’t do it anymore in general.

[@viruschris3160]

@@dorkie With any builds? I kinda hate when they do that. Like you build this all up to make it easier for you and they just nerf it.

[@darkmikasonfire]

why not switch it to the argent wolf poleaxe? it has better stats all around and you can equip it with these character stats.

@@Mina_Angel I did find an alternative, use the machete one hand build this guy used for the frozen empress, it works too but..... I think they patched damage, it does 70k-77k max for me. The rest is hoping that he doesn't one hit kill you after you land that melee attack. And of course hoping the attack lands at all, had times where the boss isn't even hit by it.
