And now this boss got easier cause we now KNOW he can be staggered. I love vids like these, whenever a boss is shown to he parriable or staggered, the stress goes down
@@drexalte69 tbh I truly cant say. A few bosses I fought never got staggered despite me keeping the pressure up and usimg weapons that deal high poise damage
@@hidan407 Yes I think literally every boss and maybe even enemy I can think of can be staggered. For me to trigger certain bosses I need the charge attack talisman and the physic that makes stance breaking more easy, and of course I gotta do fully charged attacks.
@@hidan407 if u didnt know, enemies' poise resets over time but it depends on the boss/enemy. could be 10 seconds, could be like 6. so if you dont hit them for a certain number of seconds their stagger is completely reset :(
ancient dragons lighting strike wrecks him too one charged cast in the right spot can take half his health, providing he stays still long enough for that
@@ghastlyanarchy1720 you can spam the uncharged cast pretty quickly and if you get him side on you're hitting for 4-6 strikes which still is a large amount of damage, even more if it's charged which honestly the charge isn't too bad if you wait for the right window, you can even throw out a summon to keep him occupied while you cast it or you can work it into stagger Crits, as soon as he's down use a full charge that's most likely going to hit harder than any critical strike will with all the talisman buffs you can use now to boost incantation and lighting damage
@@chrisread6292 well I'll bare that in mind for my next run of it. I already beat the dlc in full on ng+5 and going to go through the base game with the new weapons and other such stuff on ng+6 and then go back to the shadow realm. Maybe I'll give that spell a shot against him, it is a favorite of mine.
You get it from an npc invasion next to a church in the area after beating Rellana. The build is shown at the end. Cold star fists. Heavy attacks. Cracked tear physic
@@issi529yeah I was struggling a lot with the ancient meteoric ore greatsword. Swapped to star fists and got it done in a few tries. Try farming scadutree fragments and come back to it
Cragblade makes your weapon deal much more poise damage when paid with charged heavy attacks, iron balls deal, arguably, the most poise damage because of how fast the charge attack comes out. And giving it the cold affinity to proc frost bite will make the enemy slower so even easier to land the hits without much worry.
