just at this moment I have beaten this mf so here's some tips for bad players like me: -First face you're gonna want to use a greatshield and make sure he hits you with his sword three or four times, when he does the slam punish him. -Stick with one or two hits maximum, try using a weapon with bleed. -when he slams the floor and the white claw thingies come at you, don't dodge, they will most likely hit you. -Run as far away from him as you can when he does the rocks rising and falling attack with this and some practice you will get the first phase guaranteed with minimal damage almost everytime now with second phase I don't have much tips as it wrecked me repeatedly but for what I could get: -Stick with a maximum of 1 hit each chance, maybe two but not more than that. -After practicing your dodges, try to stick as close to him as you can, memorize patterns and much importantly avoid his anime slash attack and the explosion ones he does. -try to not roll backwards as most attacks will hit you -If you need to heal, look for an opening after he finishes attacking or take cover behind a pillar, otherwise he will rush you and raw fuck you in the ass -And the final tip is to remain calm, remind yourself to stay focused and not panic, avoid rolling when unnecessary because you will get raw fucked on the ass again, don't spam when he's low health because you're getting raw fucked, and FOCUS on the enemy at all times if this helps let me know good luck to everyone
@@matthelfrich4528 Same here. Panic rolling are making me sucks in this game. I dont want to use spirits, I want to beat the bosses solo. But panic rolls are killing my play.
Thanks for the guide just knocked him down. If anything you’re guide reminded me to slow down and do mechanics. He’s way more readable than I thought. Got him first try after watching haha.
Thanks man, it just so happens that whenever I’ve struggled with a boss, it’s been your videos which give me sound tactical advice that has led to a victory, so many thanks!
Props for the visuals of the attacks. The slowdown really helps with analyzing the boss' moves. More people should take example. Sometimes battle is so frantic it is nice to be able to slowly watch the attack moves.
Thanks man, this is the only actual good melee video I've seen for this fight. All of the others are either broken OP cheeses, or ridiculous over the top magic techniques. My only problem is that, coming straight from Bloodborne, I'm not used to shields (haven't used one in the whole game). But I guess I'll have to give it a try.
I feel you bro, coming from Bloodborne too. But you dont really need a shield to beat it. I am able to beat the first part without one my problem is dodging the second one!
@@franciscoi.4640 dude, I best him yesterday (8 days since this comment lol). I tanked the whole first phase with a shield. For the second one I found out that there’s an item called Blasphemous Claw that lets you parry some of his attacks, that’s the way to go.
I finished the game and this boss was the toughest for me. I had to summon other players to beat him (first phase was fine but man, the second one was too hard). I played mainly as a magician in my first play through and the spells were just too slow to cast. The last two bosses of the game were imo easier (didn’t need help for the elden beast…the mimic tear was sufficient). Godskin Duo was actually also hard for me. The only boss I didn’t fight is Melinnia. Will try to fight her in NG+ (I didn’t find her…had to check on the net how to get access). Anyways, good vid
Using Bloodhounds Fang and a mimic tear is all I used for the fight. Granted it was still really damn hard, but it got the job done in the end. I did this fight after Mimic’s tear nerf
Nice, I’ve been stuck on this for ages and all videos I’ve seen show a cheese way of beating him but requires magic etc and I have a build like yours so this is helpful.
Yeah heavy weapons are just harder for bosses that don’t stagger I’m using a colossal and damn it’s hard to hit and dodge when he is 3 times as fast as me
Most of the issues I come across are patience. You can't just spam attack like in most games. You have to block, dodge and wait for the window for an attack
After so much rage I got him with rotten breath in second phase when he was focused on the summons and just ran around in a circle till he died lmao almost quit from this boss
hey bro when you talk it seem like your laughing i just wanted to let you it actuially chill me out and made me remember that you also did a video on demon soul about tower knight with the same attitude . anyway thank i really hope you're going to be able gto help me like before . ok good day to you
With me he just spams his crazy aoe attack the last one which you died to yourself. Even if you manage to somehow tank it. You bleed out before you can use a flask. This is checkmate for meeee
"just kill the knight"... its a draconic tree sentinal... one of the hardest normal enemies in the game, you wont be casually walking through. good luck
please does anybody have a strategy for me for the second phase the second phase is so annoying I can only last probably five seconds in the second phase
Lol pro tip (not really pro) but the stupid tree sentinel before the boss fight, you can use Carian Retaliation to catch his fireball spell and retaliate with blades floating around you, F'n fireballs man
When I fight him he is in the air 90 % of the time and spaming attacks. I literally can't do ANYTHING. Maybe the game/boss recognizes that I am a range mage fighter? 3:19 He is running towards you. I would get a nice jump from him and 3 blades in my face..... I don't wanna respec again to strenght/dex just to win against him. Any tips for mage player?
The shield I was using it's called "Beast Crest Heater Shield". But I'm pretty sure any shield with 100% physicals damage reduction should be able to block it's regular melee attacks.
That summon has the same effect has malekith, as in his attacks reduce your health by a certain percentage for a while. The 'heal' you're seeing is just him getting his health back as the effect wores off
He been curb stomping me all day smfh but imma get him tho eff this lol I run a raw damage strength build. I can wreck his first form but that second form man sheesh
The last moved you showed that he does is the only thing killing me I can’t do anything. Update: I beat him I just used my mimic tear and spammed reduiva dagger and won
@@amulet9265 I meant the second phase, the first one is simple. You can't show of all his attacks in just over a minute. He does mention the two wave attack, but it's not in the vid. The boss also has a roar. Not to mention all the parry timings.
i come from dark souls trilogy, this boss in general is one of the worst along with midir for me, i hate it, please ban this boss *okno just ranting but seriously, why?*
Here's an even more Refined Version of the Guide:
ruclips.net/video/tPwcE2lc5-Y/видео.htmlsi=_NDF9psS2M7YEl9G&t=2870
how you gon make the second phase look like an elegant dance
Bleed is broken that is how
@@winterweeb_ how to utilize bleed?
@@aliridho3513 have a weapon with bleed. katanas,morning star,cross naginata, flamberge, reduvia, scythes
Straight up this guy is more infuriating than the fire giant.
@@Lazy_Marksman84 fire giant isn’t even in the same league as this ass hat. This guy and mohg LoB are ridiculous
just at this moment I have beaten this mf
so here's some tips for bad players like me:
-First face you're gonna want to use a greatshield and make sure he hits you with his sword three or four times, when he does the slam punish him.
-Stick with one or two hits maximum, try using a weapon with bleed.
-when he slams the floor and the white claw thingies come at you, don't dodge, they will most likely hit you.
-Run as far away from him as you can when he does the rocks rising and falling attack
with this and some practice you will get the first phase guaranteed with minimal damage almost everytime
now with second phase I don't have much tips as it wrecked me repeatedly but for what I could get:
-Stick with a maximum of 1 hit each chance, maybe two but not more than that.
-After practicing your dodges, try to stick as close to him as you can, memorize patterns and much importantly avoid his anime slash attack and the explosion ones he does.
-try to not roll backwards as most attacks will hit you
-If you need to heal, look for an opening after he finishes attacking or take cover behind a pillar, otherwise he will rush you and raw fuck you in the ass
-And the final tip is to remain calm, remind yourself to stay focused and not panic, avoid rolling when unnecessary because you will get raw fucked on the ass again, don't spam when he's low health because you're getting raw fucked, and FOCUS on the enemy at all times
if this helps let me know good luck to everyone
why raw fucked, fucked isnt enough?
This actually helps
@@Halcyon_XD damn good to know, my timing was probably off when I attempted it
You can dodge through the classes fine.
He’s got me bent over a table right now. Hopefully I can break free
You made it look so easy. Ive been trying to beat this boss for like 2 weeks. Keeps beating the shit out of me.
Gotta take it slow & study it's pattern! You got this!!
Im fighting him for 2 days using bow, what i can say is im done lol. Until i watchd this, its easier when fighting him in close range.
This made me realize I'm panic rolling way too much. Let's try this fight again for the 100th time..lol. wish me luck
I'm with you man. Came to RUclips out of frustration with this boss
@@matthelfrich4528 Same here. Panic rolling are making me sucks in this game. I dont want to use spirits, I want to beat the bosses solo. But panic rolls are killing my play.
@@pablogilvan6341 I ended up letting go of my pride and using mimic tear combined with rotten breath to kill him.
im about 100 tries and 2nd phase just destroys me....
@@LEDsMoshPit I beat him. Just stay close to him as much as u can, so he won`t use that skill so frequently.
Literally best guide ive seen. Every single other guide not only doesn't go in depth into the moves but its also a melee guide fully. Thanks bro
Thanks for that Bradley! :o)

No problem 👍
i have like twice your health bar and he is still 2 hitting me XD
mimic +10 still getting destroyed second phase is so hard, hes always rolling in the air i cant get a single hit ..
Wow man I'm level 132 and do 10x the damage you do but I'm getting my ass beaten. That's how you recognize a true master of souls games
Using dual rapiers and not a meta weapon has made me realize how much I have gimped myself
As another rapier/fencing user I applaude thee

All I got outta this was time your rolls and attacks lol
Using Bloodhounds Fang and a mimic tear is all I used for the fight. Granted it was still really damn hard, but it got the job done in the end. I did this fight after Mimic’s tear nerf
Summons make this boss fight too ez he isn’t tanky
thanks that actually helped, i used to die instantly now i got to the second phase at least. Hopefully I’ll be able to finish him
Nice, I’ve been stuck on this for ages and all videos I’ve seen show a cheese way of beating him but requires magic etc and I have a build like yours so this is helpful.
Died then my mimic killed him im crying rn
I FUCKING KILLED HIM
Im struggling bruh i can damage him so much and get him to second fase in seconds but then he absolutely melts my hp ughhhh
Youre sick at this game fr
I watch his video like 20 times and then as soon as I enter the room I get bodied💀😂
Very nicely done! Thanks for the tips. Now to try 50 times at least..
I can get him to the second phase in like a minute but once he hits second phase he just one shots me with basically any hit
What level are you fighting at
@@No_confidence I can’t remember cause I’ve been playing a whole lot that I’ve beaten the game 4 times already
@@gabeluke7676 Ah nevermind then
@@Kessekom Did you beat him
@@No_confidence im level 94 and i can easily beat phase 1 but i die in like 5 seconds in phase 2
Excellent video I’m struggling so hard with him
His second phase is much easier than his first because some of those first phase ones come out fast.
This boss is making me want to quit the game
I just hates how he just jumps across the whole map and makes it impossible to even touch him
theres like zero window for me to hit him in lmao I'm using the dark moon great sword +10
Yeah heavy weapons are just harder for bosses that don’t stagger I’m using a colossal and damn it’s hard to hit and dodge when he is 3 times as fast as me
He gives me no openings in the 2nd phase it feels like
Most of the issues I come across are patience. You can't just spam attack like in most games. You have to block, dodge and wait for the window for an attack
I got it first try after watching this
Lol you made this look so much easier than it was for me. I also wasn’t using block though haha

I can't even beat the horse dude outside
how tf you got through capital then
@@buddyunholy9133 the enemies are weaker there
@@Leonardo-ru7eh I mean you literally have to kill exact same horse dude to enter the capital

Same here. Dunno that's what's happening until it's too late and it's a 1 shot.
Every time i block his 3 combo sweep with a great shild he makes huge damage
the haliberd is too damn slow for this guy
So wait is this the same best clergyman around caelid or?
Yep
"just kill the knight"... its a draconic tree sentinal... one of the hardest normal enemies in the game, you wont be casually walking through. good luck
please does anybody have a strategy for me for the second phase the second phase is so annoying I can only last probably five seconds in the second phase
I have a greatsword that's not ideal for this fight cause it's kinda slow
How u gonna make second phase look easier than first
Swarm of Flies are a must. 2 attacks hit him it shreds
Is using a shield the only good way to do phase 1? The attacks are so quick I feel like its almost impossible to dodge normally
Bro you got a sub off of this. Great work appreciate it
am i overleveled ? im level 90 with +25 uchi and +10 rivers of blood
yeaa.. i mighy gonna resort to using shield. 😢 maliket is so tough

This guys good
Fighting melania and coming to him this was easy with her katana the combo alone took half his health
what level is your shield ???
0
I hate that every enemy in this game is a damage sponge.
somehow the beast clergyman heals, is this something he normally does? or is it a bug (im using black knife tische for boss fight)
That summon has the same effect has malekith, as in his attacks reduce your health by a certain percentage for a while. The 'heal' you're seeing is just him getting his health back as the effect wores off
The ultimate git gud boss
This fight is ridiculous & broken. Feels like a sekiro boss.
All I got from watching this was, Git Good
He been curb stomping me all day smfh but imma get him tho eff this lol I run a raw damage strength build. I can wreck his first form but that second form man sheesh
This boss is worse than Radahn he is hell I'd fight 2 Radahns tbh
gut machst du das

Fucking legend brother sound out
How can go crumbling farum azula
If you keep progressing with the main quest you'll get there!
I love how the second phase is so much easier then the first phase cuz it's almost impossible to stay near cuz of that almost insta 3 hit
