    I came home drunk from a friends house and while waiting for another friend to get to my place i decided to give this boss battle a try and ended up beating him in like 8 attempts (which is very good for me) the next day i woke up and i was so happy that drunk me took care of this boss battle for me. 😂

      tbh this boss is weird, it almost like ignores the mimic completely. I was surprised that the mimic got killed in this video, when I fight Messmer, he attacks me almost exclusively. Mimic is beating the shit out of him but as soon as I get just a bit close to him he immediately switches his attention to me.

    How do you dodge his grab? It one shots me and you can’t dodge into it or to either side because he’ll grab you. It seems the only chance you have is to luckily be far enough away when he starts the animation.

    Probably should not be making guides if you’re this bad at the game. Didn’t even learn the moveset at all. Just spammed roll away until they aggro’d your mimic. This is pretty much the same strategy for any boss using mimic tear so no need to make a guide on it. You literally got hit by every attack in his arsenal and didn’t showcase how to dodge anything 😂
