Thank you, seriously, thank you so so much. For some reason the knockback thing didn't work on first phase, but it did on the second. THANK YOU! You really helped me out
It didn't work for me but what DID work for me eventually: 1) Take a break. Honestly, it's kind of amazing how effective that is, even if you don't wanna hear that right now, try it. 2) Stamina maintenance. Whatever your stamina is, never let it run out completely. Hit a few times, roll away, then keep backing away until you find your opening to hit them a few times again without ever running out of stamina. 3) Stage 1 - keep backing away and circling and choose your openings to attack, preferably while Watcher #3 is keeping the main dude busy. (Or his friend) 4) Stage 2 - the hard part, but not so bad once you do this and keep this next part in mind, dodge everything. Block if you got a shield but preferably roll if you can get the timing down -- do both, just stay alive. Pick ONE attack that he does that you can comfortably dodge and hit him a few times and only attack him after that sequence of attacks. IF YOU CAN break down the fight into logical steps like this and treat it like a dance almost, it's way more manageable than like... just spamming buttons and trying to panic dodge everything. Panic is the opposite of your friend in this fight. If that doesn't work, I really hope the cheese worked for you, it didn't for me, but if you take one piece of advice from this just pay attention to his moveset and find an attack that you can hit him 2-3 times after dodging it every single time, and honestly you'll beat him once you do this. You have to break it down into pieces, if you don't, you're going to just figure this fight impossible or a matter of luck or something, it's really not even that bad if you just break it down.
i dont understand either its the 4th boss if you also fight curse-rotted greatwood and crystal sage which are insanely easier, yet abyss watchers is absolute bullshit
It's my first time playing this game and I've never played any FromSoftware game before. I consumed Vordt's soul before knowing that you could use it to get the hammer ;______;
I was getting pretty close doing it normally (with the battle axe I’d been using). But honestly kicking his ass this way was way more satisfying lol. Good video. You sound like a healthy Bam Margera
@@Tizona I’m level 83 now and I’ve been using the Raw Astora Greatsword because of this. It just kicks so much ass, especially against in game invaders. The knockdown loop is too real w this weapon. This honestly guided my first experience more than just champing on a boss. Also please bröther, keep making videos. You’re a funny dude and I feel like you could honestly make whatever kind of content with your attitude and people will be drawn to it.
I'm on new game plus. Took over 100hrs to get there and back to abyss watchers. I have no idea how i defeated them the first time. BUT this helped lol thank you
What were your stats to get this done? I'm level 46 but Astora Greatsword +3 does a small bit of damage to this boss but nothing like in the vid, I just get smashed. This boss has stalled my DS3 progress ....
your stats must be way higher than mine because i ain’t knocking him down. i stunned him a bit but then the second one was one me in no time. edit: alright not two handing was the issue. still very tough to get that first hit though lol. i brought in sirrus to distract him and destroyed him in both phases.
Bro, stop saying there's an easy mode. You haven't once showed how to change it to easy. I've yet to see ONE SINGLE SLICE OF CHEESE IN ANY OF THESE GAMES. I also went to the top, and guess what? NO ONE WAS THERE! GUESS THAT XP FARM DOESNT WORK LIAR.
I tend to hit them until they die. Funny how people find this boss hard, different playstyles = different results though. I have always found this boss easy, Aldrich is a different matter though.
@@FlammableRadish I always use a npc, they provide a good distraction and I believe it makes the games more interesting since you often have to alter your playstyle to keep the npc's alive. You can apparently choose from one of 4 npc's for this fight: "Sirris of the Sunless Realms - after speaking to her for the second time in the Firelink Shrine. Her summon sign appears to the left of the entrance to the boss room. Londor Pale Shade - if you have 5 dark sigils from Yoel of Londor and are on good terms with Yuria of Londor. Black Hand Gotthard. Yellowfinger Heysel - if you have defeated her invasion and given 1 Pale Tongue to Rosaria." ~fextralife Sirris is useless, but both Londor Pale Shade and Black Hand Gotthard fight well. I have never seen the sign for Yellowfinger Heysel.
@@FlammableRadish Sometimes even stepping away for a while can make a difference, I have repeatedly struggled with bosses, come back a day, or 2 later and beaten them. The bosses are all beatable, one thing fromsoft is good at is forcing us to change how we do things from time to time.
I mean yeah ppl give him too much credit when he's like one of the easiest bosses in the entire game but i might be wrong because im using greatswords to trash him
These soul games are a joke with development of enemies. They think it’s fun and challenging and all it is annoying and obnoxious. Can’t wait for flop ring dlc cause phew 😮💨 seen devs design better crap then this.

Bro this game kinda reminds me of elden rings
fr the developers should collab
@@kwïľļłlļľ haha
bro fr i wonder why
Elden Ring and Dark Souls 3 are inspired by Demon's Souls the roots of all Souls Games 😉
XD
Thank you, seriously, thank you so so much. For some reason the knockback thing didn't work on first phase, but it did on the second. THANK YOU! You really helped me out
Works exceptionally well as of Nov 30 2023!!! Got Astora to +3, then raw infusion and everything like shown in the video! Great thanks, man!
The boss itself isnt too hard, but having to fight two aggressive ones or the 2nd phase is hell
Nah the dude is easy no matter what phase prbly one of the easiest in the entire game
@@AngeryGuy I don't agree, this is like my 4th dark souls 3 boss? and the first one I'm actively looking up a guide for bc I'm getting spanked
@@AngeryGuynobody cares about you
@@AngeryGuy always people like u saying "its easy no matter what phase" 🤓go no hit and level 1 the game with ur fists then

Ah I see, so this is where morgott's moveset comes from.
actually kinda similar now that you point that out lol
thank you very much i hate having more than one enemy to focus on and this is helpful!
You saved my life. Much respect
glad it helped! thanks for watching
thanks! i was struggling with the uchigatana and got it first try
Wow! You do man! Died 20 times until I saw this. Your way I didn’t die once! Great video
i do not understand why they decided to put one of the hardest bosses at the beginning of the game
i dont understand either its the 4th boss if you also fight curse-rotted greatwood and crystal sage which are insanely easier, yet abyss watchers is absolute bullshit
Git gud 🤓
@@sub3cr1berI FUCKING HATE CRYSTAL SAGE

My friends were making no fun of me whilst fighting this boss as I have like no vigor and 30 strength but I just wanted to use vordt’s funny hammer
It's my first time playing this game and I've never played any FromSoftware game before. I consumed Vordt's soul before knowing that you could use it to get the hammer ;______;
Sitting here for 2 hours now ,sword on +3 ,fully charged attack does nothing like in video and cant figure out why
yeah same idk why, im even 2 handing it
Same man
hold R2/HEAVY ATTACK
Try two handing if you haven't
So many people including me got to this point killed dancer without knowing to two hand 😂
Thanks do to this guide i was able to beat him , he has no stance and heavy attacks knock him down easy thanks !!
I was getting pretty close doing it normally (with the battle axe I’d been using). But honestly kicking his ass this way was way more satisfying lol.

He doesnt lie down
Uh oh
if it wasnt intended to do it like this then they shouldnt have left it in the game
I'm on new game plus. Took over 100hrs to get there and back to abyss watchers. I have no idea how i defeated them the first time. BUT this helped lol thank you
Irithyll sword is also good if you level it up to +2
I have a +3 astora greatsword but a fully charged hit doesn't knock him down
You have to two hand it
Just beat him. Thanks a lot
no problem man thanks for watching
Was stuck for an hour did it second attempt, much thanks 🙏
Irithyl Sword is also good choice, considering its fast moveset, you could land more hits in attack window thus dealing more damage.
Ay man thx for the Cheesey way for this ima do it right now
Thanks a lot took like 20 tries got him eventually
LMFAO THE CHEESE okay str build is gold
Wait but how did you get there bec like you can’t get to the next area if you don’t kill the boss
If you are thinking of Cleansing chapel, it's after the Crystal sage boss
I love how you second watcher takes like 5 minutes to get up but mine gets up immediately
What armor makes it to where your moves don’t get canceled
Doesnt work for me :( it wont knock him down, i charge RT Attack to max but it doesnt kick him down... with or without Lightning
He doesn't go down when I fully charge the attack(shift+left click) help pls
+1
Equip the wepon with both hands . On ps4 press triangle while only equipping the sword in right hand .
my friends say the abyss watchers are the bess boss in the game but i think they’re absolutely horrible
I agree
That's your opinion my opinion is they are awesome
He was actually easy after i started dodging away from his attacks. I always dodge at the attacks and his fire hit me because of that.
why doesn't he fall down when I do it?
Make sure you’re fully charging the attack, if he’s not falling then it’s because you hit him during an attack where he can’t be stunned.
@@Tizona I'm fully charging and doing it when he's standing still, doesn't work
It should work fine, I’m honestly not sure. Is it working during phase 1?
@@Tizona not sure what I was doing wrong, after I kept trying it, it worked once and never failed after that.
that’s great man i’m glad it worked
Note to self
Astora Greatsword needs 16 STR and 18 DEX
Thank you!!!!
What were your stats to get this done? I'm level 46 but Astora Greatsword +3 does a small bit of damage to this boss but nothing like in the vid, I just get smashed. This boss has stalled my DS3 progress ....
i cant remember what my exact stats were but i’m pretty sure i was around level 50, most levels put into strength
Londor Pale Shade summon is fairly handy for this fight.
@@-opussummoned them but they didn’t show up in the fight
@@Tizonai know this comment is late but im trying to beat this boss at like level 16 should i level up
Thank you bro
does it need to be plus 3 bc mine plus 2 is not doing it
Funny helpful vid subscribed
thanks man i appreciate it :)
your stats must be way higher than mine because i ain’t knocking him down. i stunned him a bit but then the second one was one me in no time.
edit: alright not two handing was the issue. still very tough to get that first hit though lol. i brought in sirrus to distract him and destroyed him in both phases.
I got the weapon to plus 5 and I 3 hit him first phase and same second , train with it a few times just get use to timing
Legit guide !
Abyss Watcher didnt knocked back, what do i wrong?
Well i couldnt pull it off so i helped a friend of mine and then beat it on my own
Thank you man😂
thanks broski on god bro
What is the name of this sword?
Bro, stop saying there's an easy mode. You haven't once showed how to change it to easy. I've yet to see ONE SINGLE SLICE OF CHEESE IN ANY OF THESE GAMES. I also went to the top, and guess what? NO ONE WAS THERE! GUESS THAT XP FARM DOESNT WORK LIAR.
Get your strat stolen you little wimpy kid
I get the frustration but there are tons of cheeses in each of "these games"
How easy do you need it to be? Maybe you should be playing with lego
Sometime he don't charge at you
I really like this boss but im too shit at keyboard
Tysm man i was stick in avyys wayther but now i say how i was stick here?
3 hits both phases plus 5 god if I got this to plus 7 or higher defo one hitting bosses , I 3 hit high priest in catacombs as well !! 😂
My character don't want to do that animation on full charge, that motherfucker does a kinda spin animation
Put sword in shield slot and then hold down Y when you’re in game. You’ll hold the sword w 2 hands and you’ll be able to get the animation.
Why is he not getting knocked down? I fully charged my attack
You need to two hand the sword lmao
@@dominickwest7558 I am though?
@@LRlover1776 get it to +3? maybe u dont have reqs?
It’s so difficult to pull of
What the sowrd name?

what gem on the astora
i could be wrong but i’m pretty sure at this point in my playthrough i didn’t have a gem on it. but the one that i ended up going with was Sharp
okay
