Thanks ill keep at it. So far I’m dancing around phase 1 but some of his moves of phase 2 habe these stupid light explosions in the precise places where I’m used to dodge the combo.
When his pattern goes easy on me I’ll get him to 20-30%, so I’m almost there.
Don’t give up skeleton
This patch probably makes that fight slightly easier since some of the changes are buffs to that fight’s summons as well as standard ashes and revered ash bonuses.
If you are 1v1ing him then you may not get any relief, haha.
I did the same, had +20 blessing but otherwise no summons or ashes. Still took four hours of grinding before I got the run. I did use a black steel shield +4 which negates holy damage, though you can still run out of stamina. Tough fight.
I beat him with the heal the golem method combined with rotting him using aonia (first time that spell was useful for me but its a one strike rot and you can pretty much come up behind him with the golem)
If you have not found it yet, there is a black knight great shield, not sure if that’s it’s real name, that when infused with holy will give 95÷ physical reduction and 100÷ holy. This really helps you tank his hits in the second phase.
Really good suggestion. So far I’m using the golden lion shield and have marikas hair, so holy reduction is pretty high. So far I’m mostly dying to getting stuck in combos missing a roll cause of those stupid light pillars
I just beat the final dlc boss like 1 hour ago! Somehow I got lucky and the insane move sets were not used. I think cause a couple of my summons kept close to him

I’m still fighting the final boss…
Keep trying. Learning the choreography will get you 95% there. Once you figure out how to dance around his flashy attacks, it will all come together

If you are still rolling into him in phase 2, the lights will almost never hit you. Parrying will stop the lights as well.
A lot of these are a distraction. Pay attention to the hitboxes, and you’ll get it done soon
Got those magic hitbox-seeing eyes
I turned down my graphics settings so part 2 would be easier to interpret lol
Modern problems require 480p solutions, lol

I killed him with Mimic and Impenetrable Thorns, so I’m glad I did it before it got nerfed
I’m trying to not use summons of the bosses of the dlc. At least for the first playtrought
I did the same, had +20 blessing but otherwise no summons or ashes. Still took four hours of grinding before I got the run. I did use a black steel shield +4 which negates holy damage, though you can still run out of stamina. Tough fight.
I think I’m still at +17 blessing and I thought e explored a lot. As far as I know I missed no area or boss
A bunch of the ones I was missing were pot carriers near the starting area, haha. I got all the hard ones and missed the gimmes.
A couple of the last ones would be extremely challenging to find without a guide, though not impossible.
