Elden Ring - Commander O’Neil Exploit (Confessor)

I found an exploit that sorta trivializes the O’Neil fight.
If you go around the intended entrance and enter from the side, his fight won’t trigger and you’ll be undetected, meaning you’re free to setup and get free hits.
Though this does mean if you do enough damage he’ll go straight to phase 2 and now you have you deal with two waves of summons at once. Still got him though.
ngl I kinda cheesed him LOL didn’t think an INT/FTH build was gonna be this fun
