Dark Souls 3: Nameless King Easy Cheese

[@covidfake1573]

Thank you. It never occurred to me to use the bow. I just got this game and this was the only boss I couldn't beat. I just couldn't finish knowing one boss was undefeated. It was a cheat move but I don't care. Bosses like this are not fare.

[@ausrick7]

I tried this for like 4 hours tonight. He just keeps getting too close! I can’t hardly get off another shot and he lands on top of me in phase one or circles and throws lightning. Like how are you keeping him at the far end of the field. I have chloranthy +3 and grass crest and still run out of stamina trying to run from him. In phase two I dodge the two wind attacks and he’s close enough to dive in with his spear attack. Somehow you can stay a mile from him but he’s on top of me non stop! Still Gael was easier than this boss!

[@CaptainZlex]

I think most people have trouble with this boss because he delays his attacks to throw off your timing and the time in between the wind up and his actual attacks is super short sometimes.

[@XlightninX]

Nah it's mostly just that he has two phases and he's overscaled. Nothing about his moveset is exceptionally harsh, it's just you're taxed for each attempt to learn his moveset and timings by having to redo the first part and that you can only take a hit or two before you're out. First part only took me a half a dozen tries to get past since you die quick, but then having to redo it over and over again just to learn one new timing each time, since missing one means a good chance you're dead unless you're burning through embers. It's just a laborious fight to get a handle on, that's all.

[@darkandedgy1457]

That a busted camera, no room to use heavy weapons, and just overall time consuming.

He is actually pretty easy, but dont bow in P1. Stay away from dragon and bait it into attacking you. The only real chance for punish is when it does its ground fire breath.

Thanks, man! I was breezing through DS3 until I hit this helluva brickwall called Nameless King. I made a break that allowed me to finish (and get all achievements) in both DS2 and DS1. When I got back to DS3 this boss was still weeping the floor with my ass until I found this tutorial. I died a couple of times because I was been greedy and letting him get close (and his jump attacks cover an absurd distance) but after putting in my mind that playing defensely was the right approach he died like a bloody hedgehog with little to no effort.

[@Lee-bp4dr]

Ai is a hell of a lot more aggressive to the point I can't get any breathing room to use a bow

[@McRaptor]

You have to spend some time learning how to kite him. I've done NK this method several times, so it admittedly comes second nature to me. But get a feel for the boss room invisible walls and try to use the long sides of the arena (right and left of the entrance) to gain distance on him. The boss room is rectangular shaped, so use the long sides to your advantage.

[@angrygooner]

Thank youuuuuuu! Now I don't need to dodge till my hands hurt, just need a little patience and a bow! This works really well.

[@dontworry7440]

For those who have the option, this is the only time I used a m/k to play a Soulsborne game. Aiming with a m/k was just significantly easier. The dragon phase was way more aggressive compared to the video, but it was easy to just get under the dragon’s belly and shoot it with arrows. I could usually get 2-3 shots before he’d move again. It probably would have been even easier to melee the dragon under his belly and then switch to bow for the second phase.

@@MaioliRHCP This is an old comment but for those reading it now, you can glitch the respec system by force quitting (Alt-F4 or force quit app on console) out of your game after clicking to accept the respec but while the respec menu is still up, you only have like 2-3 seconds to do it, but if you time it right you'll have the new specs in your save game but not have actually used the Pale Tongue or the respec, so you can just respec infinite times.

What's that red mist around your character? Is THAT why your arrows do so much damage?

[@Foxycourderoy]

Took a few tries but once I realized. I need to run away from him, more than I was, his attacks were super easy to dodge and it worked like a charm. Thanks!

[@alexmedvec4571]

I'm having trouble. That guy is like Jason.

[@Floki_the_Hatebuilder]

I will still prefer the uchigatana for the first phase, but i never thought i would defeat the king himself with a bow instead of a sword, thanks

[@rowanmurphy5239]

(1) what arrows are best? (2) I can't upgrade black bow of pharis passed +5 as it disappeared from blacksmith's list! What do I do?

[@kiritsuguemiya9310]

This video still works if youre on NG++, jus make sure your bow is +10 and USE GOOD ARROWS

[@GrizzlyAdams94]

I really don't want to cheese the King himself because I actually like phase 2, but this will be a massive help for the awkward phase 1. +9 Black Bow of Pharis, 40 Dex, 99 Feather Arrows, fingers crossed it works

[@IMP_ROM]

Did it work?

[@endless24]

I finally beat the boss thanks to u i couldn't finish the first phase with a bow cuz it was too difficult so i decided to finish the first phase with my frayed katana and finish the rest with a bow

[@scotterdmann2499]

This boss does not move like this he jumps in the air and Flys at you and it's super hard to stay away. This will not work.

[@cihandursun8783]

yeah it doesn't work. he keeps jumping on me like he's crazy.

[@shoebaser5982]

Thank you man I was struggling hard but after watching this I know what to do now I’m still struggling on this boss but I’m just thankful I’m doing better from this watching this

[@NyTrY1]

This is so helpfully for me thank you so much!!

[@PatLikesCats]

Thank you a year after you released this video, I was once again visiting DS3 after a long Elden Ring time and wanted to finally beat this guy. Tried melee for so long but this fight just feels wrong and boring and gets too hard that way. Therefore I gladly used your cheese tactic. Thanks alot, you saved me much time and made me happy!

[@panamike6178]

Yeah, they made him so tanky. I googled what is the Nameless king weak against and it said dark damage, so I infused a great sword with dark and got it to +8, and I didn't see any difference what so ever, taking off the tiniest amounts of heath from his bar.

[@xCADILLAC1982x]

My guy you know how easy this made the hardest boss in Dark Souls 3? This is unreal. Loved it. I wasn’t struggling personally. But my brother was able to go in on his 2nd attempt & demolish him with this strategy. Great video my guy!!

[@NJ-vk1dg]

Camera during the first phase is extremely poor in this fight. Worked for me. Thank you.

[@rocketguardian]

My first ever attempt in the second phase I got him down to half health no problem. Phase 2 is no issue for me. PHASE 1 however is the most god awful fight I have ever seen. How did you get the dragon to basically stay still? That's wild man. He never does that for me. Just flies around while Nameless King kills me over and over.

[@vincentfurnier4910]

thanxs a lot,with this famous guide i was able to beat the king in ng7+ with the first try

[@VPSantiago]

I wouldn't say I cheesed him, but you can do a very similar thing in the Nameless King part of the fight using Dohrys Gnawing miracle. But I'm not good at keeping the right distances so ended up finishing half his health using melee weapon anyway

[@omegaswiftwing]

"That's so dumb! But he's so cool! But he's so dumb!" Don't mind me... just having a tfs moment...

[@Trowsiff-uk]

Trying it exactly as you are with composite bow +10 and feather arrows and he just spins after my first run and 1 shots me every time, I’ve only got Midir, soul of cinder and slave knight Gael left after this prick and none of the others gave me this much grief! Edit..Changed my thumbs down to a thumbs up, just couldn’t beat wyvern with arrows so fucked him up with my Claymore +10 with lightning buff then used your arrow strategy for the king and it worked wonders, beat him on my 5th try, just was that giant turkey that gave me the grief with the camera positioning. Thanks, I’m a happy chap now.

[@BJVA85]

OMG!!This really worked!!Thanks a million bud!!

[@McRaptor]

Glad it helped!

[@moistcritical3745]

For everyone who could do that my advice for you is to not even think about doing that, which is actually dumb action to do, you will just ruin a great boss and waste a great experience with the nameless king so just try harder and get good.

[@Milezperhour]

Nice strategy man! Definitely gonna try this out
