@@fortunato0416 yes, also take your time and let hand of the king make the first move, dodge it then attack. It often just catches the players doing something they don't have to do, and then it's really hard to avoid his attacks.
For anyone struggling, I suggest using the baseball bat and wolf traps, and if possible the freeze spell, the damage of the bat with wolf traps are insane
@@kindareali think anybody who even had the balls to make it to 5bc has the capability to flawless HotK with just about any gearset, at least at lower difficulties. Considering, flawless is kind of the necessity around 5bc.
Those flags are still the hardest from this boss. Sometimes it drop at unconvenience point. He spams it in a row, You don't have a window to destroy it while boss keep spamming his 3 swing or bombs after., It locks your space. It could potentially one hit you up to 1 BC difficulty.
Reached this boss a few months ago and got annihilated. Just today I reached it again and my legendary pan made an absolute joke out of him, lol. (Also, to be clear I don't play this game a lot, it didn't take me multiple months of constant grinding or anything).
Great video! Just want to mention a few things: besides the first uppercut swing, all of the attacks are random. Also, HOTK doesn't do any more uppercuts (besides the very first opening one) on boss cells 1-5. Also a few tips: for the flag phase, don't worry too much about the flags, just use the time to get in some free hits, but when the time hits like 3-4 seconds, then start killing the flags. The extra big slam (the one where his hand glows and jumps really high) is kind of weird, cause the spikes can deal damage even when it seems like you came down at the right time as the spikes are leaving, so my best advice is to wait until HOTK reaches the height of his jump, then jump on the ice and stay as long as you can in the air.
Yes, that's a great addition for this video! Maybe I have to make a new version of this video with more details about how HoTK performs his attacks and how to predict them. Thanks a lot, buddy, for your comment! :))
Turrets help take care of the flags most of the time for me so I rarely have issues with them, unless I am running a brutality build which is when I don't carry turrets.
I used traps and they worked great sinew slicer and cleaver shreds through hp while I’m focused on dodging instead of attacking I i mean if you only focus on dodging dodging is easier also he’s kind of predictable also they apply tons of bleed so it damages even after trap is broken also some weapons do extra damage to bleeding targets just focus on attack stat because if you don’t get hit you don’t need hp and the stat improves the trap if it’s the right color
Absolutely ive been try to kill this boss, but bad thing that i always lost my sight of my chracter or where is it located and i also lost, but ill also try my best to defest this boss.
Is there any way to get through the HotK with a range-attack based build? Eg. last time I had a fireballs + Owl (putting oil on ennemies) build, with which I could roll over all the rest of the game, but against the HotK it failed miserably. Plus all the stuff that should pin him (wolf traps, root grenade...) seem to have no effect on him.
Are you kidding me? Why the boss is so slow and he stops between an attack and the next one? I played a lot and he never stops a microsecond! His attacks are consecutive and it’s hard even to drink the healing potion, because he never stops. Are you playing a different version? I use a Mac
Same here, been playing on Android for a while but always dying because he fights like a real boss trying to protect the king at any cost😢, dying at third phase all the time, it is frustrating.😅
@@prasenjitsaha8054 i am now playing 3 boss cells, but even with ZERO BC he is fast and continous. Yes, he is weaker and his life points are less, but his moves and speed are the same. I Think that all the great YT players use some cheat, everyone for every game!
@@Flagellatore9 maybe but hats off to this boss, I know bcoz maybe I play with touch control, not all inputs are registered so stuck here, I almost managed to drain his health in all my runs, hope one day I can manage to beat him😇
In the second phase when he does the spike thing, I do exactly what the video says and when the spikes are gone and I land in the ground, I still get hit by the spikes somehow
I like this vydeo I will try it once I have a time but There is still problem with that I cant dodge his attack AND attack him at the same time so I need like some tips what weapon and traps i need (I have like twenty idk)
I'm trying to beat him with cursed sword and two cell 💀 I don't even know how many times i died (i just quit the game when i die and open again to start from the boss room)
the next boss gotta be the giant
ahhhh, man, i'm so bad at this boss, but I'll try it! :D
@@yashmerino a wise man once said "don't give up,just GIT GUD"
that's totally true my friend(
Just have a lot of damage and destroy the first b4 he attack

I literally had a 5bc run yesterday where I died on Hand of the King.
Hopefully I'll get him next time with this.
Nice try, my friend, try to train it in the training mode. You'll make it! :)

Nah just use collectors syringe

Nah those flags are a lifesaver cus when you think the hotk will attack you he does the flag attack and gives you a couple seconds to make a comeback

I watched this, I went to fight it, it pushed me to the spikes and die
After a 50 minutes run :D
Exit the game right after you die and start the game again. Then you' can fight him again

@@yashmerino np, just wanted to give some tips cause I know there’s a lot of tricky parts about HOTK
@@catboygrendelmemeenthusias9310 Yes, this boss seems to be easy, but sometimes can make really interesting moves :D
Note: He can do the three attack sequence in the first phase too
thank you

got here on 4BC got annihilated in the first 10 seconds, that was the most mad I had ever gotten on a video game.
Is this outdated, or not relavent to 3bc, cause he was doing 2nd phase moves before I even hit him
Absolutely ive been try to kill this boss, but bad thing that i always lost my sight of my chracter or where is it located and i also lost, but ill also try my best to defest this boss.
But what are the best times to heal?
I find that he has an opening long enough to heal during grenade throwing.
I just got to this boss for the first time and I got wreck my legendary katana didn’t do nothing
that's how it goes at the beginning, you'll get it eventually! :)
I just died to him while fighting with a ice thing, an arrow gun, a claymore, and an ice grenade
I got this far by just sneaking through all the levels

yeah, that's a great idea to use traps damage to hit him, or just use fast weapons so you can dodge at any moment
How do I beat it with no sheild…
I swear i struggle with this boss more than dracula
Easy, spam magic missiles/electric whip+WOC+any deployable skills
having hard time beat him on 1bc :v. well im just that bad
same man, I'm about to finish him with 30% boss health but somehow hotk decided to kill me while healing
@@renmier3996Use the ultimate bonk build.
I beat 1bc with bone lmao
I've played more than a thousand rounds and never even got to this boss lol
I just want the homunculus rune and open the damn doors... :(
I'm fighting him with a curse over my head 💀
I try to save my load on my main account to 2nd account, and already doing 5x copy paste till i give up :/
I'm trying to beat him with cursed sword and two cell 💀 I don't even know how many times i died (i just quit the game when i die and open again to start from the boss room)
This doesn't work for me he uses all attake before I even get him to phase so 👎
Playing on mobile here, can't barely see all the shit that's happening
I cannot imagine playing Dead Cells on a phone lol
Just kill this mf, that was my second battle with him (i did train at boss rush). 159HP at the end of the battle. That was...something.
I annihilated this boss on my first try, with no experienc3 at all
Okay i got it but how kill him
