Most bosses are literally just: "Roll 4 times, poke once with L1" anyway. (They could have done more besides poorly implemented algorythm scaling) Use a 1h-sword or other quick weapon and jab little bits in as you move.įrankly, I'd be more upset with the buggy coding and last-minute slap in of invasion mechanics. Walking forward (not strafing!) untargeted will let you circle around cinder without fear of being hit. Soul of Cinder - Has very telegraphed attacks. (With some daredevil tactics, and a bit of fancy camera work) Bait him into the jumping attack and roll under him. (As you'll be able to charge another before he can climb back to his feet, for 100% stun-lock)ĭragonSlayer Armor - Can fall off the side of the stage. Pair it with a chloranthory ring (to get stamina quickly) and you really only have to hit him once with a well timed charged 2h-heavy swing. (every attack from that side is above your character's head)Ībyss Watchers - Can be bullied with weapons that have a knock-down CC (Astora Greatsword, Hollowslayer Greatsword. Pontiff - Can't hit you if you stay under his Right Arm.

Many of these bosses can be cheesed as well. Then it's just a matter of trading Aggro. (Neither sign will return once one or the other is dead) you have to choose between using Lionheart for Vordt, or Sword Master for Dancer. Or having to be a Hollow, to have Black Hand Gothard for Abyss Watchers)Īlthough, in the first area. like killing Sword Master to have someone for Champion Gundyr. if you do ALL of the side-quests, you'll have an npc summon for every boss. It was so satisfying to have Yuria tank while I cast crystal soul spear until it died.Ĭonveniently enough. Then I'm going to revive as much I want to rek your face and make you throw the controller. I'm going to teleport right next to you with no warning while you try to cast. How is it fair that I get distance from someone like C Gundyr to use my ashen flasks but he can stop combo and lol charge me to death? Don't get me started on the twin princes. Also I am so bad at this game that even when I'm over leveled with 30 vigor for someone like Pontiff I still have a hard time. I was able to beat Consumed King and gravetender in one try on a melee character. I summon for Abyss Watchers, Pontiff, Dragonslayer Armor, Consumed King, Champion Gundyr, princes, Soul of Cinder, gravetender and wolf, and Sister freide. After losing to the abyss watchers 42 times then finally beating them because it got stuck using the same attack 3 times at low health and I was able to get the swing in, I vowed never again. In Dark Souls 3 the bosses give you a millisecond of a window. In the other two games the bosses would do their combo and give you a moment to attack. When I came over to Dark Souls 3 I didn't play it as much because I didn't like how fast and aggressive everything was. In both of these games my playstyle was biggest weapon I could find and a mighty great shield. The only boss I ever needed to summon for was Ornstein and Fatty and the Smelter Demon. If you hit a wall, just restart the game and choose a different class.Almost every boss I need a summon for. The magical Moonlight Greatsword is a staple of From.

If you have trouble, just keep trying, you can’ really level up your character yet, so it’s all about your tactics. Its high damage and fast R2 will be extra useful against bosses and mini bosses. Just keep chipping away at his health as opportunities come up and you should take him out relatively quickly.

If you have any fire weapons then use them now. Also note, he is weak to fire at this stage of the fight. Roll out if you need to, but press the attack, while keeping an eye on your health. He is much bigger now, so you can hit him from further away, without getting into the thick of it. Just look for an opportunity here, let him attack once or twice, and move in immediately once he is done. You can probably get a good four or five hits in before he is done, then move out and recover. No sooner than you create a character, go through a few basic tutorials and just begin to get your feet in this new game that you're thrown into combat against the first boss: Iudex Gundyr. Have plenty of stamina ready for this, as you will want to hit him as much as possible while he changes shape. At the halfway mark of his health, Iudex Gundyr will transform into a black, shape shifting monster.
