Elden Ring DLC - Rellana - No Hit, Using RL1 Setup, No DLC Upgrades

When I say RL1 Setup, I mean I would lose just a small amount of damage (I do low damage anyway), but everything I used here can be achieved on RL1, with soreseals. And I think no helm and pants :)
I'm sure this fight will be optimized soon (if it hasn't been, yet) but I just wanted to pull this off before she (and the whole DLC) possibly gets nerfed due to all the salt. I wonder if the other bosses really are stupidly hard. FromSoft did lower the difficulty sliders on the base game to entice more players, so I wouldn't be surprised to hear some complaints...
I try to stay close to bait her most parryable attacks. If I dodge too far away, she ends up stopping the combo, giving me less parry chances. The thing is, by limiting myself to a few dodges back, I got hit so many times due to her deceptively long reach. It takes a while to get used to the distance. I found light weight to be very helpful, seems like some of her attacks were made to catch mid rolls.
Another thing that complicates my no-hit attempt, are the glintblades that hover over her. By themselves, there's no problem, but if she does, say, that combo where she winds up and crosses her swords WHILE she has those things up, I have no answer. So my method is to run as far as possible, bait the glintblades, and resume. Her sword combo thankfully has a max range. Sadly it leads to a lot of running (sorry), I found my earlier attempts much less boring to be honest.
I personally feel that this fight is better than Malenia, if you take away the music from both fights. She can tank through hits and retaliate really fast, and she can chain her combos if you input a command too soon after one moveset ends. Her special "GOTCHA" move can be solved intuitively, not relying on items or uncommon movement mechanics, unlike Waterfowl. Many of her attacks are parryable:
0:37 Very annoying, after a certain angle or distance, the parry window on this attack changes. When I see her prepping this, I try to get as close as I can and align myself so she doesn't curve. And when I do a successful parry, it looks like her sword swings through and hits me.
0:40 My best parry opening. The end of the double upward swings, is the reason I choose stay barely close enough for her to whiff her alternative combo (1:15). The initial upward swing is also parryable, but at that close distance, guessing wrong will get me killed
0:56 Double slash, not consistent yet, doesn't feel safe to parry at that distance
3:03 I've parried the end of this combo, still not consistent enough
4:40 I've parried the downward follow up after a dodge, still not consistent enough

Really impressive, even if I don’t like the boss very much.

Gotta say huge GGs for getting this kill and being able to last over 7 minutes in here, really am not a fan of this boss but I'm hoping to find some stuff of use in here.

[@sirLSTR]

Thanks! I explained some things in the description, I hope those help 👍

Going full on parry for this fight was much quicker, but nice! If anything it's probably harder to dodge this chick than parry.

[@Badboy20400]

Damm all the comments saying shes a bad boss, too hard for you huh and you no hit her, ez bro well done

[@benten4093]

If I was to do one hit>run away, I'd die from boredom. If this is what you have to do to not get hit, then it's officially the worst, most obnoxious boss of this DLC. While I'm patient, I'm not patient enough for stuff like this, hence big props for that. GJ

[@sirLSTR]

Oh I'm just being stubborn, trying to beat her with the only base level setup I know. She's not that bad. I've seen someone use the ol' chicken leg + cragblade and go to town with her. I just refuse to beat these bosses with a stick. 😅

[@pelitoo]

@@sirLSTR what "chicken leg" are u talking about?

[@sirLSTR]

@@pelitoo clubs in general

[@pelitoo]

@@sirLSTR oh, i thought u meant one in specific lol, i’m using 2 of those lol and it’s so broken that imma do another playthrough lol

This is how most bosses in fromsoft games are for no hit. You can get more hits in, it's just risky, which is fine for a normal playthrough, not a no hit one.
