The tree blocking and jumping to the bridge when greylls about to fly helped a lot. I couldnt replicate the glitch but I got him stuck on the cliff on like the second try so I just summoned latenna on one of the treebranches over the bridge and killed him
March 27, 2024 No joke, just got it first try. I had to fire a couple arrows when he was stuck in the animation at 1:15, and then he just started the fall animation. Thanks man, big help!
At a moment when I was behind the tree he lost aggro on me, so I just shot an arrow at him, after that he flew and I jumped on the bridge as I was supposed to do, after that the glitch worked normally and I killed him, this was my first attempt by the way. Thank you very much.
lol i nearly had him second try but after he fell off the tree he just landed on the ground normally with no fall animation and i had to start over :( this is harder than it looks
And after jumping onto the bridge remember to not be too close, otherwise you get long-distance-fire-breath'd in the face. Survived with a single hitpoint. Then I ran a bit further and healed and he started falling.
He often despawns if you lure him completely off the bridge. Aim to have him on the last part of the bridge when you go behind the tree. He can also despawn if he de-aggros while you are behind the tree, in which case you need to step out then get behind the tree again.
If he’s landing on the tree but not going into the falling animation, you might not be positioned on the right part of the bridge. If you’re too close to him he often doesn’t fall and if you’re too far he will respawn at his starting position.
If the health bar disappears, you need to move closer to him to re-aggro. This isn’t the easiest cheese to pull off, a couple of times it has taken over an hour yet on other occasions it’s happened straight away.
You need to get the spacing right to lure him along the bridge without him flying back. If he starts rock climbing, you will need to sit at the grace and reset as he isn’t coming down from there.
It’s not completely consistent. I’ve had times where it’s happened straight away and other times where it hasn’t happened after over an hour of attempts. If he’s respawning on the bridge, you’ve probably run too far away from him - you need to keep within his aggro range.
If fromsoft ever whinge about players cheesing bosses then maybe they should realise their AI programming is fucking dogshite. They can’t program enemies with flying attacks for shit because that’s all that enemy will ever fucking do. Genuinely despise dragons in these games. Just spam fly and fire breath attacks. Nothing else. No skill involved. Just sit under, pray they don’t spam and jump attack spam the head. Real skill there. 😂
i underestimated this boss the first time. i was like, its just like agheel, i'll bait out stomp attacks and hit his head. turns out, he's more agressive and he uses flying fire breath attacks more often than agheel (at least for me)
