JediFirefly Gaming thanks man! I guess it's about finding the easiest way for you and after so many struggles of close range attempts, I felt this was my only chance 😂
As long as you can beat the bosses 1v1 it does not matter how long or what it takes to win. Though I would not play like this i will always be a spear user.
Damn right! I've lot count of number of attempts on this guy... beat him on second attempt using this would have on first but I backed up into a corner :D

@@lycanthoss really the nameless king is simple you just got to memorize his very limited move pool and dodge accordingly with the right gear. I just did an artorias cosplay with a fully upgraded wolf knight sword and a dragon crest shield on ng+ and I beat the king on my 3rd try today. The worst thing to do is roll all over the place. Time the rolls and you'll be good. Block accordingly with a shield, I prefer the lothric knight shield or dragon crest shield. Any weapon will do. Equip hornet ring, ring of favor, lightning resistance ring, and an estus ring or you can switch to another ring if you want. Cheese the dragon with headshots and riposte and the take on the king. Dodge his 3 hit combo and hit him as many times and never have your shield up unless you don't know what he is doing or he flies away. When at half health he will call lightning and a slam. The slam dodge and keep your shield up until it dispersed and attack. When he calls it, wait 2 seconds after it is launched and dodge to have it miss you. Repeat and you win.
@@lycanthoss This reminds me of Fume Knight (the boss I had the most deaths to previously), only it has this annoying first part that you have to re-do everytime. Making learning NK's timings and attacks more time consuming. I mean yeah, Fume Knight also had two quite different phases, but you could actually skip the first one by wearing Voldstein's helmet, allowing you to focus on learning the harder part of the fight without wasting your time. Of course, there also was only one boss, where as here there's 2 (NK, his dragon and the camera). The most frustrating thing was that after I got the KotS part of the boss down and could do it without using estus, I'd get too confident and try to rush too much, so I'd make mistakes and die at the part that was previously easy.
@@timoyr2954 fume knight wasn't really hard, I did him in like 7-10 runs though I can't quite remember. I was having trouble killing Nameless King at first but I returned after clearing the ringed city and did him in like 5 tries. For some reason he was very easy after the DLC even though I gained like only 3 levels and was using the same weapons. To this day Dancer took the most tries for me to kill (~30).
Ariq Fauzan I disagree cheesing a boss is like pushing off a ledge or glitching into a safe zone and killing a boss from that zone in this "cheese" you still have to dodge attacks from the boss and still do mechanics and that's why I don't believe this is a cheese
The bosses AI is being exploited because this boss has a tendency to just walk at you at certain ranges therefore weapons that can reach said ranges makes damage easy and safe. Going into a spot where the boss hit you is not cheesing, it is exploiting a glitch.
Over 3 years later and it's still the same experience for me. Tried this boss "man on man" in several playthroughs and got my ass wiped in close battle. Ended up being frustrated and equipped the Avelyn from the Great Archive. And it is no cheesy tactic to me if you use weapons the game offers. Its not like using a glitch or something like that.
Brother, you saved me! I used your Inventory build to beat the bastard. Nameless King. I screwed up and didn't use my twisted demon soul to get the Havel Ring. At the time I used it to level up. Definitely caused me alot problems not doing that. Thanks a Million!
They said you can't cheese this Boss..and God!! I working so hard going in melee fight with this Boss..never knew there's a way to cheese this fight..LOL Thanks for the vid..
People overthink this battle. Here’s my cheese simply wait until you defeat dragon slayer Amor. Trade in the soul for his dragon slayer shield. The thing has a 95% lighting absorption and 100% physical with 75 stability. Block through everything! Hit him once or twice after his move set. Repeat.
@@unlimitedsausages2779 just memorize his movements. I'll give you a guide. Equip the hornet ring, estus ring, favor ring, and cloranthy ring. Use any weapon or armor set it don't matter. Use either the lothric knight shield or black knight shield for the battle. Cheese the dragon with head shots and hit and run tactics. Evade the dragon's attacks and dodge the Kings spear swings. Do this until you stagger and go in for the riposte. Now it's time for the king. Dodge his 3 hit combo and hit him after. Evade his spear stabs and attack when possible afterward. When he is at half, he will have a slam and a lightning strike. Woth slam dodge forward and attack from a few feet back so when it dispersed you won't be hit but you can still attack don't hug him. Keep your shield down for your stamina. For the strike wait 2 seconds after its cast and roll to evade. Wash rinse and repeat
I did this and beat him but with the crossbow that shoots three arrows. It’s a strategy which is what makes these games so great. You find your own ways to overcome enemies.
Felix Sy you know what’s not fun dying and dying and dying over and over again without stopping feeling like reality has slipped away wanting to end the suffering but yu must progress cuz you paid good money for this game and you can’t stop now but you want to and the more you die the more you die in reality knowing that one day it won’t matter and you’ll be happy cuz you’ve finally beat him but hope keeps losing and losing help
@@Mitsuru-Miki ya actually, that's the one of the points of gaming after all. *Flashback to Isshin(idk man, I rlly struggled with him even tho I've played all souls borne)*
You, good sir, are a FUCKING LIFESAVER!!!!!!!!!! I know I’m late to the DS3 party, but I thought ol’ Nameless had my number. Then I found your video! In my opinion DS isn’t about being difficult, it’s about solving difficult problems. Thank you for the help!
Scurvy McGruff Ok there is nothing wrong with cheesing in my opinion to each his own, however saying casul (yes it’s spelt that way) is kinda like a Dark Souls meme now, so that’s why he said casul and not casual.
Absolute legend! I tried this twice with a sword, managed to bone out the first time since I ran out of flasks, killed second time.. then saw the video, got him to half but struggled with dodges but was learning, still managed to bone out. 4th try i get him! only technically died to him one time!!
Hitting Lorian in the back in phase 2, that's cheesing. This is more like strategy. You cant beat him like this, but the reward doesn't feel like, when you fight with a sword.
Omg finnaly a startagy that does not involve 100% perfect dodge timing. So ganna give this a try i just gave up on the boss till i got stronger but j ran thru the rest luckly with ease other then the abyss watchers. Can say the same for the ng+ run guess i just git lucky but still find every other boss 10 times easier then this basterd
Thank you very much! I just beat the Nameless King in NG+2 following your guide in my first try - this was needed to get the last one of the rings (and the Platinum Trophy).
this cheese would have been great if only my bolts (same bolts, same crossbow) actually did more than 38 damage than the 100+ you do tho it was worth a shot and 9k souls. edit: no i wasnt far to have damage drop-off, i was a little closer or as close as in the video and still did the same damage. +7 crossbow if the upgrade amount matters and no i have no idea why it did that little damage, i kept an eye on the damage throughout the fight, almost ran out of bolts while he was around 65-70%
It's late but happen many times I almost finish this king using melee and eventually I lost. Finally I decided to use this strategy and I can sleep well 10 hours haha! Fine work.Thanks bro!
I also cheesed this boss fight, but my strategy was a little different. I always wait for his plunge attacks. He almost always has an opening after he does that. Even if he does not, you can dodge his easily avoidable impaling attacks, he does it like 2 times after the plunging attack and leaves an opening. This strategy took a while but I did it with 8 estus left.
I probably did something like this. I usually two-hand the sword to improve my timing and poke him to death with it. I attack him after his plunge attack since he has a big opening. If I mess up, I abuse the power of Tears of Denial and I did it by staying far away from him, then heal. I did this tedious strategy with my SL1 character in NG+7. I wonder if using Denial and waiting for his plunge attack counts as a cheese strategy.
Joseph Dizon tears of denial? probably not..., but attacking only after his plunge attacks... that's a little cheesy. But what does it matter, we beat it within the game's rules, right? Rejoice!
Yep! As long as players found ways to beat the boss, that will be great. I plan to perform the crossbow cheese against the Nameless King some time in the future for fun. Watching players cheese bosses is fascinating to see. I still try to do the Vilhelm cheese, but I have problems doing it.
Downed him my first time last night with regular sword action, but if I go NG+ I might try this tactic. For other first timers I would recommend trying the "normal" way though.. the adrenaline fighting him was real! Eventually you will learn his moveset which will make the fight more manageable. Still the hardest boss for me so far at 5 or 6 tries before I got him.
Everyone else: well the strategy is stay on his left and dodge! Me: Dying for literally a year. This guy: Just fucking shoot and run bro. Me: Finally kills him on second attempt. You're a goddamn hero.
Honestly the boss would be easy if getting hit just once wasn’t the end. Maybe I should’ve put more levels in Vigor. He’s the second hardest boss in the game, even without the dragon part.
I play as an assassin and usually cheese everytime, except for the bosses and PvP. However, I learned from your video that there's no time for "no cheese". Thank you, and PRAISE THE CHEESE!
This worked like a charm except I used the bow of pharis and fire arrows. Takes a while but far less than the hour I spent trying to kill him with melee only yesterday.
I tried to beat him legitimately but then got so frustrated I just pulled out Lothric Knight Greatsword and three hit the Drake then just spammed Great Soul Dregs.
Dude thanks, I died to this guy like 50 times, even said screw it n went on to beat the soul of cinder and then came back and he still whooped my ass, did this and beat him the first try😂🤷🤷🤷
Did the same in my first run. Only that I wanted to go full int sorcery from the beginning, so I guess it was an coincidental cheese? (Btw, twin princes and champion Gundyr where a nigthmare, so I guess I got retribution for that)
At 60 faith and new game plus 6 I was owning that storm drake with sunlight Spears, 4 maybe 5 and it's dead, unfortunately the nameless king isn't weak to lightening so I kept fucking dieing fast
You beautiful person, Idc if this isn't fun for some people, it felt great to punish this guy with non stop attacks like he did to me. Finally killed him thanks to you
People can complain and call you a casual all they want, a dead boss is a dead boss in my book lol. Nice work!
JediFirefly Gaming thanks man! I guess it's about finding the easiest way for you and after so many struggles of close range attempts, I felt this was my only chance 😂
As long as you can beat the bosses 1v1 it does not matter how long or what it takes to win. Though I would not play like this i will always be a spear user.
But why did you buy the game then, dark souls is about overcoming difficulty and facing the challenge head on.
At about 30 time or more the overcoming the challenge part gets old and you just want the boss dead. lol
Damn right! I've lot count of number of attempts on this guy... beat him on second attempt using this would have on first but I backed up into a corner :D
Getting shameless with the nameless
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wow 😅
Yeah tell that to all those sorcery builds who just pew pew soul arrows.🤣
HAHAHAHAHA
The soulsborne experience for me has always been about getting through using every viable trick in the book no matter the cheese. Well done mate.
Ah demons souls...i miss the days when you could shoot bosses through the fog door with a bow
Innsmouth People does anyone know if this still works
@@19thcenturygentleman33 lol it's not a "trick," you can kill almost every boss by spacing with a ranged weapon. So yes it still works lol.
The game tries to cheese the player every 20 feet, everything is fair game lol
I play as a glass cannon mage, my entire DS3 gaming experience is cheese. I may as well rename my character gorgonzola.
what does it mean to cheese someone ? Fight from a distance ?
Greenson Yusef This quote should explain it:

I love you bro
No probs!
Steven Owen oh that actually sounds pretty badass for a name haha
You have a special place in heaven for this
Perhaps the only boss I'll cheese in the game. Seriously, fighting him close range and dodging non-stop is exhausting!
Todoroki Shouto just done it on new game + 3 and boy was it easy.
My problem with the boss is that the first phase is so annoying and takes a lot of time so I can't get used the actual fight.

Brilliant tactic, my good sir. Here, have a like!
This is not illegitimate, it's just good tactics. That fucking King is lethal at close range. Hitting him from range is good business.
He just closes the gap with me. Soon as I get a target lock he comes in, I die.
I didn't manage to do this first time to be honest! You have to keep backing off all the time, if he closes the gap, run back further.
Lmao if that’s the case, might as well go close range.

The boss isnt even that hard. The real boss here is the fucking camera.
IDK why but this is so funny to me
Thanks i was havin trouble with this boss but ya showed me that crossbows work good 👌👍
hipslice 69 I just followed it too. His method is brilliant and easy even on new game 3.
hipslice 69 yeah, it's pretty easy when you use this method, crossbows for me are an absolute must on this game. They make things so much easier.
You use line too?
Honestly the boss would be easy if getting hit just once wasn’t the end. Maybe I should’ve put more levels in Vigor. He’s the second hardest boss in the game, even without the dragon part.
The dodge is strong with this one
I play as an assassin and usually cheese everytime, except for the bosses and PvP. However, I learned from your video that there's no time for "no cheese". Thank you, and PRAISE THE CHEESE!
This worked like a charm except I used the bow of pharis and fire arrows. Takes a while but far less than the hour I spent trying to kill him with melee only yesterday.
Now do it with a broken straight sword
A little late but what Crossbow and arrows did you use. Might have to do this 😂
Dark Souls is about being smart. Good work man.
Yeah, i killed the two wyverns at archdragon with pharis bow n poison arrows😂 from a safe distance.
I’ve never been so mad playing a game except for the swamp area in farron keep
1st time in farron swamp was so disorienting
Took me about 2hours to find the third light to extinguish. Ran past it twice😬
WOW THAT REALLY WORKED! was intense af i was down to my last bit of health and so was he and i just went for it and got it before he got me
I cheesed this guy so bad... Same thing but use Crystal soul spear. I killed that dragon in four hits. Lmao
I tried to beat him legitimately but then got so frustrated I just pulled out Lothric Knight Greatsword and three hit the Drake then just spammed Great Soul Dregs.
Brilliant video but what crossbow and ammo are you using?
Little late but its the arbalest
I used all my estus on the first phase so i had to beat the 2nd phase by only spamming tears of denial
I tried using a magic type and I ended up with the nicname "Nachos" because I made this guy a joke
I'm on souls level 175 and I don't even stand a chance to this guy at close range, definitely going to try this!
Dang I should pick up Gael crossbow
Our battle will be legendary!
The so called battle:
(Acting as if I didn't do the same lol)

Man I never be able to beat this boss I just started to play this month already meet this boss its been 2 days I stuck on this boss
I'm honestly so glad I made a mage
Did the same in my first run. Only that I wanted to go full int sorcery from the beginning, so I guess it was an coincidental cheese? (Btw, twin princes and champion Gundyr where a nigthmare, so I guess I got retribution for that)
I know I'm late but this helped so much
I'm so doing this... I've literally grinded my Vitality to 45 and he still 2 shots me :/
Christopher Davidson Theres your problem......vitality doesn’t increase hit points, vigor does. Vitality increases equipment load
Vitality increases your physical defense stats (and equip load)
@@datvo3076 I think he refers to his HP by the previous games and because when you talk about vitality a person can understand by vital bone life.
i am playing at soul level one and with the right equipment i survive 2 shot idk what kind of crap armor you have m8 but that is just impossible
At 60 faith and new game plus 6 I was owning that storm drake with sunlight Spears, 4 maybe 5 and it's dead, unfortunately the nameless king isn't weak to lightening so I kept fucking dieing fast
Used this strat in my NG++ run and it worked like a charm. Fuck this boss
how do you lock on from so far away?
Sniper crossbow have loong range
do different spells have different ranges as well? Or is it related to the catalyst?
Wasn't even a Sniper Crossbow 😂 just an Arbalest+9 and it was the furthest I could be away whilst locking on
OMG I finally defeated the nameless king thanks to this! Thanks dude
alex aang your welcome man, I still died a few times doing it this way, still have to know when to dodge and move out of the way though
Outstanding move
How are you locking on from so far away?
You beautiful person, Idc if this isn't fun for some people, it felt great to punish this guy with non stop attacks like he did to me. Finally killed him thanks to you
i didnt even think of this
This is pretty hilarious. I’ve beaten the king the normal way the first time I played but I might just have to try this for fun next time
Nice work, M8! You deserve to have some wine with all that cheese.
