DARK SOULS III

The hint above was written before the game came out, so I don’t know if there were patches, or if this boss is just tough! I tried to kill him more than 40 times!!! times, despite the fact that all the other bosses before him died 1-3 times! What is written in the hint above is nonsense, he doesn’t sometimes hit you, but almost constantly, you just have to approach him, and he kills in 2 hits. Sometimes he does a combo that kills in 1 hit. At the same time, he has enough HP for 3 bosses before him, and this despite the fact that I have the top weapon at the moment, albeit without the elemental buffs that the guy in the video has! The camera always goes crazy, the targeting constantly goes off, that you always find yourself with your back to him and get hit, which ends in death, getting stuck in the textures of the boss’s stomach and his weapons, the boss hits quickly and several times, bounces or hits with fire in all directions, combos of 6 hits from the boss in 4 seconds, from which instant death, its patterns are not calculated since they often start with one blow, when you can run up, and continue with different ones. Active rolling can help, but mistakes are punishable by death. With 70% phase 2. In general, for all 40+ attempts, I haven’t tried the current, nothing works, it stupidly kills, and in all three times the current took away half of my HP, the rest of the time it took a quarter or less. In the video for the hint it’s nonsense, it’s like the guy’s HP is like he poured all the experience points into him either on NG+ or he’s actually a cheater! And the damage will be 4 times higher than that of human norms on this boss. You are almost guaranteed not to have this happen. At the same time, a person there received a lot of blows from the boss, saying that normally the player would have died 100 times already. He calmly caught 3 hits and had plenty of HP left. Therefore, I will tell you a tactic that is very reliable and has been developed over all these dozens of attempts and is devoid of randomness, while it doesn’t matter how much HP you have and what damage it is..

Optimal tactics that will suit everyone:

For range classes, the boss is a freebie, because he is slow, but for close combat, I will tell you his weakness. Take off all your armor, because speed is most important to you. You can wear rings for dodge just in case. Be sure to take a shield with the highest possible fire resistance. The tactics are simple, move away from him at a medium distance, if he waves his club, move further away, since then there will be a very long blow from above with the club. But as soon as he gets up and begins to prepare to breathe, immediately run towards him as fast as you can, he always breathes from left to right (if you look at him), so just run towards him, taking a little to the right and running around the fire. You make a couple of blows, immediately take the boss on target, since it usually flies off, and put up a shield, since he often immediately makes a blow, and begin to move away from him. That's it, repeat until the phases change. Phase 2 tactics change. Don’t react to breathing anymore, because it is much faster and attempts to run up will most likely end in death, just put a shield in front of you while keeping the boss in the target, otherwise you will burn out immediately. He becomes much faster and tries in every possible way to shorten the distance, so this is where the catch-up phase begins. Just keep him on target and run away from him in a large circle with your back))) This phase took a very long time for me, I’m almost 20! I ran from him for minutes, because the damage to the boss is very low, he needs to get 30 hits. At the same time, he makes a blow, which is his only weakness, obscenely rarely. In general, stay at a medium distance, restoring stamina if possible, and as soon as you see him raise his club up and begin to summon meteors, immediately run towards him and do 2 hits (if you are very far from him or have no stamina, it’s better not to risk it), then immediately roll back (otherwise I would have died stuck in the texture of his belly), the boss at the target and step back with your back. The boss rarely does anything in response, usually starts calling fire, so the safety of this method is close to 100%. Please note - do not be greedy with blows, without armor he will kill you with 1 blow. In general, with this tactic, you are guaranteed to kill him without receiving a single hit in a couple of attempts, regardless of the amount of your HP and the damage of your weapon, this will only affect the duration of the battle.

It's pretty easy to fill up. All you need is a simple bow and a lot of arrows. We keep our distance all the time, hide behind piles of petrified corpses and conduct targeted shooting. First, I tried to kill him with a sword a couple of times, but it didn’t work, then I took out my bow, and the king fell down the first time.
