@sweetieswifey627 I'm on day two of being absolutely demolished by this man. I have never been so awful at a souls like and my pride won't let me stop 💔 Goodluck everybody I hope you are better then me and beat his flaming ass.
You have to remember this is youtube. These guys sit there all day and do this. Who knows how many fights he had to get this perfect run and that is the Run he uploaded. I guarantee it was at least a couple dozen or well more than that. Yes because this boss in my game acts nothing like his. I find that a lot with RUclips videos. I don't know if these are early versions of the game or not. It could also be PC with mods activated who knows. I'm not saying that's what this guy is doing but RUclips in general. I think I am having more difficulty in this game than I did with Securo. That is because the gameplay in this game is so laggy and slow that trying to perfect Perry multiple times in a row with how fast the boss is attack is damn near impossible. When I say laggy I don't mean the game is lagging. I mean you as the player I feel like are in slow mode where the bosses movement speeds are much more accelerated than yours. Also a lot of the times the player has to step forward before we can attack because our weapons won't reach. By the time you get half of your attack out you're getting smacked in the face. The bosses are usually larger than you with bigger weapons therefore they do not have to move like you do. Lots of disadvantages with this game to the player. The ridiculous slow stamina recovery speed is unnecessary.
@@RobK-rl6sn is the animation locking. you can't really cancel out of anything and some of the regular hits are very slow with extended animation locks. add in that the bosses do insane amounts of damage and have a shit ton of health and it just makes the game a slog. really kills the fun.
His overhead rage attack is completely broken, your instinct is to dodge but it's the one time he is able to always get in line to hit you. I cannot avoid it. Late 2nd stage he just kites around and attacks you from range anytime he can, basically giving you no openings. I had a breeze up until this fucker.
You have to just perfect guard it, it’s a better habit to develop since red aura attacks can’t be dodged or normal guarded As for the kiteing around you just have to override the fear of being up close and run at him
I beat him by essentially running at him from an angle when he attempts to kite. I did perfect block his overhead rage attack on my final attempt to finish him, but that timing is extremely precise.
@@dalton2k538 Yeah, I think most people expected perfect guarding to feel like Sekiro going in. Unfortunately for us, turns out the timing's more tight and by a noticeable margin too.
That's exactly how I managed to beat him too 🤣 the moment I saw that flame thrower miss when I was basically hugging was my "oh what the fuck? I SEE" moment 🤣@@dalton2k538
They can simply higher up the lock on pointer , other than that he’s not broken , combos and timings are hard though it’s consistent , idk why people mash circles instead of looking at the moveset
You are not alone. I feel like my brain is not wired for this because even the watchman boss took me like 40 minutes to beat even though every says it's easy. I killed bosses like freaking Sword Saint Isshin , Midir and Fume Knight after 10. But man in this game almost every boss feels like Maliketh at least. Can't even imagine what comes later.
For anyone still struggling; sprinting in close to this boss helps ALOT. The majority of his attacks come from his right side. (his big hammer) The tactic of sprinting around to his left (opposite side of his hammer) helped me to avoid the majority of his attacks. Even when he goes red and charges you to slam down on you with his hammer, instead of trying to parry his hard to see attack, sprint at him and hug his left side. He'll miss every time. I didn't need to parry any of his attacks once I learnt this, just strafed, dodged and fought him super aggressively to keep him from spamming his fire balls in phase 2. Parrying him is kind of painful due to the camera and the fact that alot of his attacks come from above his head. You can also hide behind the big red pipes when he covers the ground in fire to prevent the fire from reaching you. Goodluck.
Shout out to you. I didn't do it exactly how you did but I used a mixture of sprinting and perfect parries. I used sprinting to bait certain hits I wanted to parry. Ended up beating him 5th try.
This comment section makes me feel so much better about being stuck. I thought I just sucked at games…. Probably do still, but glad to know I’m not alone struggling with this boss
Great guide. I never thought about hiding behind a pipe for his AoE flame attack. I was just running as far away as possible and mostly getting caught in the flames.
When I see this boss guide I come to the conclusion that I'm fighting an entirely other boss than he does. I'm a pretty experienced Soulslike Player, but cannot beat this guy thus far. I guess it's a mater of perfect blocking, more like Sekiro or WoLong.
Yeah , people panicking and mashing dodge instead of learning attack patterns and timings is so annoying to me , I admit he’s hard but people are bad too
@@ahmadalghamdi4425 Yeah, true. But I think the game does not a good job either in terms of timing for perfect parrying. It does not even have a staggering meter, so it's almost a hiddren game mechanic + the enemy attacks are mostly delayed and then hits you in a fraction of a second. The developers nerfed some bosses in the meantime, but the better had fixed those blocking/parrying mechanic. But nevertheless it's a good Soulslike and i liked the setting.
@@marquisbush8985Yes this. If I could go to parry mid-attack, the game would be much, much funner but still challenging. Lack of control is rarely a fun way to increase difficulty.
Not being able to cancel an attack to parry makes the game harder but not in a fun way. You literally can't attack more than 1-2 times before you're punished hard and if you parry but the attack animation is still going you're hit.
@@moejuggler6033 haha I had finally beat it. I just kept my distance and walked up to bait attacks, and ran away each time he did the overhead attacks. Whenever the fist lands in the ground, if you move to the left you can light attack the fist. I didn’t bother with parrying much, mostly running left or right in phase two as well. Also I’ve figured out most bosses you can cheese by just dodging left each time they attack :)
😂 same I hate how all the heavy 2 hand weapons feel so slow I regret picking the strength build I’m seriously considering reinstalling and picking a new class cuz strength for me sucks ass I’m so slow and when I block I lose so much health and stamina idgi when he says guard attack I’m like wtf why is my guard being blown away so fast and my attack is 10x slower and uses like half my stamina bar even though I have like 30+ stamina the game feels so bad with heavy weapons and the dmg isn’t even good
@@pepsiman4418For sure. If you don't have the time/commitment to learn each of the bosses attacks then you probably wont enjoy this games' boss fights.
@@ibanjoguy6450 Oh haha, it was my first soulslike so i was struggling really badly. I beat the game 3 times now, but I still say Im right. I have ruined my own life playing this game instead of studying. I have not good enough grades = no future = *you know what*. So its for people with more free time for sure
This boss is ridiculous. I am at my 20 run to him, and nothing help. He is way too aggressive then in video, multiple rage attacks then spinning combo, then rage attack again. Dealing way too many damage, and then boom - second phase and he start shooting from far away, spitting black goo and fire (which deals even more damage). Straight up bs boss.
This is old, and I should have posted this on my first playthrough when it released. But back at it now after after a few fails I come here, and i just hear "guard, attack" in my head and it slows me down, calms me down, and let's me win right away. You're the man! Thanks
I always thought of myself as a pretty good FromSoft player. This game is humbling the s**t out of me. My timing on everything is so bad. About to start my 9th try on this guy.
@@gooby2065 I finally got it. Don't know how many attempts it took. Finally got lucky with a bunch of perfect blocks. I'm not sure how I'm going to beat this game at this point if it only gets harder from here.
I've been stuck on this guy for two days while using the spectre(who just refuses to stay alive in phase 2 FFS) and two cheese methods at the same time. No matter how much I dodge his over head swing fist always gets me.
Oh my gosh thank you SO much! For me at least, the answer was GREATSWORD. I switched from my baton and rapier with a electronic coil head to a greatsword with a baton head. The combo of two small attacks then a large attack was able to give me the opportunity to stun and tear him apart. I've been stuck on this for days. Thank you so much ❤😢
I had so much trouble on this boss for no reason so many of his attacks are bs but man you made him look easy good stuff man didn’t even think to use the pipes for cover from the fire
For me the challenge addicting. This game is for people who love a challenge and refuse to give up until they win. I guess we are sort of like a masochist@@user-mu9ff8ji1q
Hey y'all so 7 minutes after posting this I was able to beat him by using the booster glaive blade + 3 with the electric coil stick handle. Beat him first try with this weapon. Much faster than the base glaive, really good for getting those quick charged attacks.
@@grady3691same had no issues with any other boss fought this guy and died 30 times im out of starstones and I’m over this bs game I uninstalled the fact that I’m stuck with the bigger slow ass weapons all game is a massive turnoff doesn’t feel good at all and every big weapon feels exactly the same the reach feels short and attacks feel so sluggish and even the parry and running feel terrible I might give it another shot but not on this build it’s so bad
First phase is just knowing the dance. The second phase is the issue. You have to stay close and get him to do the moves you know. If he starts firing hust know he will likely fire three times and do it twice.
Bro on my 6th try just now I got a clip of him using his “easy to punish” charge attack, and I hit my booster blade fable to close the gap and I stg he FLICKED around and instantly hit me with one fire round straight to my face and killed me mid fable 😭 shit was quicker than a CDL sweat lord
Nice man, watched this after my first attempt and it helped a lot watching you do it. Haven’t got him yet, on my 5th attempt but am getting closer and closer
I got him to 1hp and i was 1hp and i literally misclicked my dodge and bam I'm dead ... this guy is relentless I'm terrible with the blocking mechanic aswell always dodge and weave
This boss took me probably 100 tries over 3 days. The winning combo ended up being: buy 3 throwing cells, 3 fable catalysts, and 2-3 electric blitz abrasives from the first vendor (cerasani alley), then buy 30 sawtooth wheels from the desk clerk at the hotel, and make sure your sword is upgraded to +3 with Eugenia(which is the max at that point). Then farm Star fragments and a few more throwing cells from the couple guys near the stargazer spawn at Elysion Blvd Entrance. Warp back to the Venigni spawn and before you enter King Flames room, use a star frag at the little water dish to get a spectre to help you fight. Now go fight him, mostly melee with spectre until second phase then unload your throwing cells and wheels. Probably still take you a bunch of times but this has to be the easiest way. Good luck!
I’ve tried that and I still failed. I cheesed him 4 times and keep on dying been on him for a week. I’ve watched 10 vids on him. And can’t beat him. This game ain’t for me. This boss is the end for me
@@holdencampos3949You need to parry him and stay close, for this boss dodging isnt a good option. I took 5 hours fighting him and the best way was to block ans take small damage but also perfect time parrys.
I tried the throwers and tried the specter, help a bit but never got me through, the last run I got lucky with the electric arm and got a stagger combo, pure luck, I couldn't learn this boss whatsoever, the last one I got better and was able to deal anything other than the lightning, this one I simply chance the rng unfortunately
@@darthmaul5068 I know (cry) but here is the thing some bosses I can learn quite well some I simply can't grasp the timing like this one, I hope the next one I am actually able to perfect parry, but I try not to watch too many video of the game unless I have passed the area
They must have updated this boss, in this video it's fighting like phase 1 in phase 2. I notice it only shot 2 missile instead of 4 and no oil spills. Currently in phase 2 the boss tries his best to keep space between you and it so it can shoot those missiles at you.
I thought you couldn’t block/parry when they was glowing red. I seen you do it here in the video! I was stuck on this dude for 5 hours. I slept woke up and beat him
I think I am now officially , properly stuck on this dude. ( and the mad doctor optional boss but I wanna get to him too eventually because I know he’s hiding something gooood )
If you are struggling against this boss my advice is just keep trying it again and again, you naturally will develop muscle memory and the sense of timing, so it will be easier to block him naturally and avoid the strong attacks.
The main thing that frobthebuilder has already said that you literally can't see his arms winding up when Fuoco does his overhead. Gets kinda tilting when you see a sliver his armpit pivot 90 degrees within 3 frames and slam you.
this boss pissed me off a lot so what i did was increase the damage of my highest damage weapon then do 1 or 2 hit everytime i get chance won just like that . died to him like 23 times keep trying guys make ur own strategy thats the best tip
You know i absolutely love bosses that a hard. But bosses that a frustrating and not fun to fight just suck. Who tf ever thinks burning is a good idea for a boss
ok i don’t have much trouble with the first phase and i’ve really gotten his moves down and i’m able to block most perfectly but the second phase really gets me, he’ll literally shoot me even though i’m at his feet and it the second phase he does a little dodge so he’s able to move far enough away from you to hit you with his gun.
Idk if im underpowered or what but im hitting for wet noodle damage and i only have 4 pots ( 2nd phase is stupid, he charges with unblockable every time and then immediately starts pumping shots)
How I beat it no throwables. I used Spector summon for distraction I used the electric blunt weapon that you can buy from the vendor. This weapon does electric damage, when level up to +3 with constant light attack you do some good damage to the boss. Next step you want to use the blue mechanical arm that does electric damage. So during the fight whenever the boss staggers or is not attacking you directly you use your blue legion arm. Next you have perfect block or block when necessary, or else you will taking needless damage and use up all heals. Whenever he does the flame AOE run far away from him and keep those blue ampoules on ready if you have to. Make sure not to let the boss corner you by wall, it will be game over. TDLR: use electric damage outputs when all else fails.nor you run out of option. Took be about little over 20 tries until I had the sense to switch to the electric weapon and legion arm
Some extra details. -I was lvl 37 -My accessory was so I took damage reduction, i un equipt anything that will make me too heavy. - i had the fire damage reduction accessory equipped. Red triangle looking thing. - I made sure to keep the red pillars in mind as they protect you from fire AOE when you stand behind it. -i stayed on his left side(gun arm) -keep legion bullet consumable ready in case you run out of juice to use your electric arm
I had him down to one tap, I was full health and he somehow managed to hit me 3 times and kill me and I was completely unable to block. Nothing hurts more than that
he jus agros me nd refuses to have a opening nd starting his phase 2 when he still has 3/4 of his health left then kites around constantly till I’m dead also destroying half the pillars in the process so ya great boss 😃
Man this boss made me rage quit for today. I'm pretty new to this type of game, the only soul(?) Game i've played is elden ring and i'm playing this one bc it looked cool but it's just stressful af. Good video tho, i'll try your tips tomorrow.
TIP: their are four puppets on the bottom floor on the way to the boss room, if you kill all four of them you will get 300 Ergo each time, it doesn't take much time at all. If you're going to fight this boss 50-100x's might as well get some easy Ergo. I racked up 12K Ergo by doing this before I beat it, add on the 7K you get for beating him that was 19K Ergo for me!
Thx for guide! Came here after died two times during second phase foolishly keeping distance) i'm very new to souls games, but that electric club made first phase not hard even for me) Btw, Zeppelin FTW ;)
This thing is absolutely insane. I suck at parrying so i had to resort to sprinting and dodging. Could barely get his HP to 40% after multiple tries, but thankfully i got him 1st try after using a summon. I'm ashamed of that, but this thing seemed impossible
I beat the whole game, and I must say he is still the toughest boss for me. He took me the most tries. I'm trying to beat NG+ with no throwables, and I've already tired to beat him 33 times. It's insane how tough he is
Lies of P = Sekiro = learn how to perfect block. Lies of P is not like elden ring or dark souls except in term of concept. The gameplay is more akin to sekiro. Block > parry
I block perfect timing and still take half my health... and my sword takes so long to swing that he hits me 2 times before i swing or block ...its fking stupid
Amazing, I can’t seem to get through to him but I’ve noticed that when you block an attack, your health does not decrease. Is this an upgrade or something ?
Well this kinda game when you jump in from time to time no need to rush it, especially if you get to frustrated just turn it off and try next time. Well sometimes this method works for me😅
I despise how this boss makes you play in only 1 way. The only way that will work is perfect parrying. I hatteee that shit. Not rolling, just face to face, parrying every single move. Boring Asf.
I had that epiphany when fighting scrapped watchman. Once I started getting perfect parries on his routines I felt 'this is a musical rhythm game basically??' Instantly felt boring. Where do I insert my style of play or even get my turn?? 😂😂
played all three dark souls, platinumed elden ring, sekiro, and bloodboorne, and this boss is harder than about 90% of every single boss in those games, and its not the actual difficulty, its the artificial difficulty. This game and the bosses wouldnt be NEARLY as difficult if they didnt regenerate health and their health pool wasnt so fucking gigantic. who decided on that? i hope they listen to player feedback and nerf the health pools or get rid of the boss health regen because its so unfair
Was in the same boat as you. Honestly he's not too bad. I used an electric greatsword +2 and was a bit more aggressive with perfect parries. The 2nd phase move where he inflicts burn is bullshit but he gives you enough time to either run away or hide behind a pillar to avoid it.
Me: I need a strategy to beat this boss
RUclipsr: Do exactly what you’ve been doing the last hour but don’t die
Fr
I would get some throwing cells as they can do some big damage and especially when he is farther away.
You gotta perfect block his attacks😊
Got there eventually :) Back to liking the game again.@@FMJ1400
This is exactly my though😂
He's so much more aggressive for me than he is in this video! I can barely get 2 hits in before he absolutely plants me into the ground
Same and then I miss one block and he hits me with the craziest combo ever
Yeah sometimes he's like this other times he's way more aggressive
@sweetieswifey627 I'm on day two of being absolutely demolished by this man. I have never been so awful at a souls like and my pride won't let me stop 💔 Goodluck everybody I hope you are better then me and beat his flaming ass.

Great design making all the attack windups go above the camera view so it's impossible to get the timings down.
Definitely frustrating
They can simply higher up the lock on pointer , other than that he’s not broken , combos and timings are hard though it’s consistent , idk why people mash circles instead of looking at the moveset
You can see his moves just by... walking backwards. Once you've got the timing down you don't even need to look up to tell what attack he's doing.
Struggling with early bosses in this game like every fight is against Malenia. I just can't get the timing down

I feel the same way
The recovery after you attack is so off in this game so far..
Trying to put in light attacks between certain longer boss combo it always punishes you
Bro moves SO slow. Like I literally have the timing down and the guy just doesn’t move fast enough
Fire axe+baton weapon is OP.
the recovery of heavy attacks is literally longer then the windup...

I had so much trouble on this boss for no reason so many of his attacks are bs but man you made him look easy good stuff man didn’t even think to use the pipes for cover from the fire
I stayed close to him and he still shoots at me im literally at his feet
Yeah it reminds me of the dumb fucking tree sentinel outside or maliketh's boss door, no matter how close u r he still hits u with fire balls
@@AgentHonky i managed to beat him 20 minutes later by playing uber passive his second phase, *SPOILER*
i am now at the zombie portion
Spent 5 hours fighting him, managed to parry him well and got him
5h on bossfight - definately not worth it. It's not fun at all.
@@user-mu9ff8ji1q That is the fun for me, I like the challenge.
For me the challenge addicting. This game is for people who love a challenge and refuse to give up until they win. I guess we are sort of like a masochist@@user-mu9ff8ji1q
Hate this boss with a burning passion. Idk how many times ive tried now at least 30
Hey y'all so 7 minutes after posting this I was able to beat him by using the booster glaive blade + 3 with the electric coil stick handle. Beat him first try with this weapon. Much faster than the base glaive, really good for getting those quick charged attacks.
@@The_Abysmal_Eyeyea lmao too bad you can’t farm for upgrades in this game already wasted all my hidden moonstones
@@grady3691same had no issues with any other boss fought this guy and died 30 times im out of starstones and I’m over this bs game I uninstalled the fact that I’m stuck with the bigger slow ass weapons all game is a massive turnoff doesn’t feel good at all and every big weapon feels exactly the same the reach feels short and attacks feel so sluggish and even the parry and running feel terrible I might give it another shot but not on this build it’s so bad
First phase is just knowing the dance. The second phase is the issue. You have to stay close and get him to do the moves you know. If he starts firing hust know he will likely fire three times and do it twice.
Half the bosses in this game feel like Crucible Knights from Elden Ring. Barely any attack windows.
Beat the three bosses before him quite easily.I think this fight is a knowledge check.
He forgot to mention that he using the weapon grip that allows way less damage while blocking. Without a simple block is still taking hella life.
Bro on my 6th try just now I got a clip of him using his “easy to punish” charge attack, and I hit my booster blade fable to close the gap and I stg he FLICKED around and instantly hit me with one fire round straight to my face and killed me mid fable 😭 shit was quicker than a CDL sweat lord
Nice man, watched this after my first attempt and it helped a lot watching you do it. Haven’t got him yet, on my 5th attempt but am getting closer and closer
i was getting him to less than an eighth of his health over 20 times,bullshit strikes consistently
I got him to 1hp and i was 1hp and i literally misclicked my dodge and bam I'm dead ... this guy is relentless I'm terrible with the blocking mechanic aswell always dodge and weave
Same!!!! I was one hit away from killing him then bam! He swiped me and I died...😞 now I gotta try a hundred times more lol
Buy some pulse cells and once you have him down to about quarter health just spam those electric bombs.
@@DerrThawanderer yep electrical weapons work wonders on him! I killed him a few hours ago and I'm finally happy 🤟
Yea well that happened to me at least 4 times its pure hell
I managed to save 3 health potions just to get killed when he was one hit away from dying. BRUTAL
This boss took me probably 100 tries over 3 days. The winning combo ended up being: buy 3 throwing cells, 3 fable catalysts, and 2-3 electric blitz abrasives from the first vendor (cerasani alley), then buy 30 sawtooth wheels from the desk clerk at the hotel, and make sure your sword is upgraded to +3 with Eugenia(which is the max at that point). Then farm Star fragments and a few more throwing cells from the couple guys near the stargazer spawn at Elysion Blvd Entrance. Warp back to the Venigni spawn and before you enter King Flames room, use a star frag at the little water dish to get a spectre to help you fight. Now go fight him, mostly melee with spectre until second phase then unload your throwing cells and wheels. Probably still take you a bunch of times but this has to be the easiest way. Good luck!
I’ve tried that and I still failed. I cheesed him 4 times and keep on dying been on him for a week. I’ve watched 10 vids on him. And can’t beat him. This game ain’t for me. This boss is the end for me
@@holdencampos3949You need to parry him and stay close, for this boss dodging isnt a good option. I took 5 hours fighting him and the best way was to block ans take small damage but also perfect time parrys.
I tried the throwers and tried the specter, help a bit but never got me through, the last run I got lucky with the electric arm and got a stagger combo, pure luck, I couldn't learn this boss whatsoever, the last one I got better and was able to deal anything other than the lightning, this one I simply chance the rng unfortunately
@@shao-ningwu9209 dw. the next major boss has 2 healthbars 💀.
it has been nerfed hp wise recently)
@@darthmaul5068 I know (cry) but here is the thing some bosses I can learn quite well some I simply can't grasp the timing like this one, I hope the next one I am actually able to perfect parry, but I try not to watch too many video of the game unless I have passed the area
They must have updated this boss, in this video it's fighting like phase 1 in phase 2. I notice it only shot 2 missile instead of 4 and no oil spills. Currently in phase 2 the boss tries his best to keep space between you and it so it can shoot those missiles at you.
I thought you couldn’t block/parry when they was glowing red. I seen you do it here in the video! I was stuck on this dude for 5 hours. I slept woke up and beat him
I think I am now officially , properly stuck on this dude. ( and the mad doctor optional boss but I wanna get to him too eventually because I know he’s hiding something gooood )
The first stage is so easy but in the second I can’t even hit him
i mean i fought it bout 15 times with a specter i jus can’t beat him
dude with a specter it would be too easy come on
I found a strat where id only perfect block the slow over heads but i mainly ran around him because how slow he is. Plus his recovery is really bad
I fought him 50 times still can’t beat him 😬
My vitality is not that high and I don’t have that many pulse cells lol
If you are struggling against this boss my advice is just keep trying it again and again, you naturally will develop muscle memory and the sense of timing, so it will be easier to block him naturally and avoid the strong attacks.
Alright. See y’all in a year
yes this happened to me after about 100 tries, lol
The main thing that frobthebuilder has already said that you literally can't see his arms winding up when Fuoco does his overhead. Gets kinda tilting when you see a sliver his armpit pivot 90 degrees within 3 frames and slam you.
this boss pissed me off a lot so what i did was increase the damage of my highest damage weapon then do 1 or 2 hit everytime i get chance won just like that . died to him like 23 times
keep trying guys make ur own strategy thats the best tip
Ty man the first try i give after watching the video i finally kill the boss, the problem i wasnt very confident in my parry skills
You know i absolutely love bosses that a hard. But bosses that a frustrating and not fun to fight just suck. Who tf ever thinks burning is a good idea for a boss
Stagger, stagger and one more time STAGGER. When you make him staggered its a breeze. Many heavy attacks will stagger him. Good luck
ok i don’t have much trouble with the first phase and i’ve really gotten his moves down and i’m able to block most perfectly but the second phase really gets me, he’ll literally shoot me even though i’m at his feet and it the second phase he does a little dodge so he’s able to move far enough away from you to hit you with his gun.
I FINALLY BEAT HIM!!!!!!!
For me it’s easier to dodge than parry I can’t parry to save my life 😩
Idk if im underpowered or what but im hitting for wet noodle damage and i only have 4 pots
( 2nd phase is stupid, he charges with unblockable every time and then immediately starts pumping shots)
How I beat it no throwables.
I used Spector summon for distraction
I used the electric blunt weapon that you can buy from the vendor. This weapon does electric damage, when level up to +3 with constant light attack you do some good damage to the boss.
Next step you want to use the blue mechanical arm that does electric damage. So during the fight whenever the boss staggers or is not attacking you directly you use your blue legion arm.
Next you have perfect block or block when necessary, or else you will taking needless damage and use up all heals.
Whenever he does the flame AOE run far away from him and keep those blue ampoules on ready if you have to.
Make sure not to let the boss corner you by wall, it will be game over.
TDLR: use electric damage outputs when all else fails.nor you run out of option.
Took be about little over 20 tries until I had the sense to switch to the electric weapon and legion arm
Some extra details.
-I was lvl 37
-My accessory was so I took damage reduction, i un equipt anything that will make me too heavy.
- i had the fire damage reduction accessory equipped. Red triangle looking thing.
- I made sure to keep the red pillars in mind as they protect you from fire AOE when you stand behind it.
-i stayed on his left side(gun arm)
-keep legion bullet consumable ready in case you run out of juice to use your electric arm
At the start when he got hit if that was me I would of lost more than half of my health bar I’m to underleveled how do I tank better?
I've had to turn off the xbox and have a smoke. This sob has done my head in
My strategy was to call specter for help and deliver as much damage as possible with electricity weapon before the specter dies then used grenades
i rage quit i can’t beat this fucking boss
Don't give up man, I'm sure you can do it!
Took me over 100 trys and 4 hrs but I finally did it 😂. Don't give up you'll get it
I had him down to one tap, I was full health and he somehow managed to hit me 3 times and kill me and I was completely unable to block. Nothing hurts more than that
This is the first souls like game I’ve ever played and I’m stuck on this guy, but the first 20 seconds blew my mind. YOU CAN JUMP????? 😭😭😭
Are we fighting the same boss? Because the way it attacks me es insane and your's looks so fckng easy!
I’m using great sword with baton handle and I can sometimes get 2 hits in. It’s my favorite weapon set up so far
I beat Demon’s Souls AND Elden Ring 100% through and CANNOT for the life of me beat this loser..his kicking attack is serious bullshit.
I couldn’t get past the God Skin Duo, but this fight seemed pretty straightforward lol.
Everytime I’m perfect blocking he does the bullshit kick to red attack and I can’t get up quick enough to move or parry. Such bs
تبا،لقد جلست احاربه كثيرا ولا زلت عالق عنده
really wish they wouldnt have put so much artificial difficulty in this game
The huge aoe attacks and the spammy bosses. This game is medium difficulty otherwise. They definitely haven’t mastered the souls game difficulty.
I wish i can play like you. The game will be so much fun. I died 6 times already. But i will keep going. Your tips are great!
I absolutely smoked this boss by using sprint to bait out certain attacks from him and just perfect parrying them.
Yeah… nope. He always does the 3 spin move or the unblockables with me. Rarely does he even do a regular attack.
"so yeah not too difficult at all"💀💀
he jus agros me nd refuses to have a opening nd starting his phase 2 when he still has 3/4 of his health left then kites around constantly till I’m dead also destroying half the pillars in the process so ya great boss 😃
The block around 3:03 was v impressive!
Man this boss made me rage quit for today. I'm pretty new to this type of game, the only soul(?) Game i've played is elden ring and i'm playing this one bc it looked cool but it's just stressful af. Good video tho, i'll try your tips tomorrow.
I've beaten all the souls games except for demon souls. Don't have a Playstation 3 or 5 so it's not happening. I'm struggling
Bro is like he had no intrest in fighting u my boss is sweating
TIP: their are four puppets on the bottom floor on the way to the boss room, if you kill all four of them you will get 300 Ergo each time, it doesn't take much time at all. If you're going to fight this boss 50-100x's might as well get some easy Ergo. I racked up 12K Ergo by doing this before I beat it, add on the 7K you get for beating him that was 19K Ergo for me!
Im still stuck on this boss even trying the coil with booster handle and using the spirit and can't beat him gosh
Thx for guide! Came here after died two times during second phase foolishly keeping distance) i'm very new to souls games, but that electric club made first phase not hard even for me)
Btw, Zeppelin FTW ;)
My journey ends here. I'm not stressing myself again with this game
😂😂
You’ve been such a massive help! Your explanations are the best ♥️
This thing is absolutely insane. I suck at parrying so i had to resort to sprinting and dodging.
Could barely get his HP to 40% after multiple tries, but thankfully i got him 1st try after using a summon. I'm ashamed of that, but this thing seemed impossible
What's wrong with summons? It's a game mechani isn't it?
I just beat him first try! 😭 Thank you!
GG!
I beat the whole game, and I must say he is still the toughest boss for me. He took me the most tries. I'm trying to beat NG+ with no throwables, and I've already tired to beat him 33 times. It's insane how tough he is
It took me 2 tries
@@bnerrs2797 - Yeah. He took me 2 tries in my last attempt. Now I think Laxasia is the hardest boss
Lies of P = Sekiro = learn how to perfect block. Lies of P is not like elden ring or dark souls except in term of concept. The gameplay is more akin to sekiro. Block > parry
You made it look so easy. Not so easy with the rapier... TT
Kings flame Fucko is making it really hard for me to enjoy this game rn
the electric blitz does WORKKK on this guy
All I kept thinking was guard and attack and that did it for me thanks 😊
Don't understand where I missed a pulse charge (health thing) I only have 4 for this boss
you are making things look easy
He's weak to electricity attacks. I recommend using the electric coil stick
What a guide guard and attack 😂
I block perfect timing and still take half my health... and my sword takes so long to swing that he hits me 2 times before i swing or block ...its fking stupid
I beat him at my 2nd try without seeing a tutorial or using my arm or using fable arts just perfect guarding and attack
Advance build runs through this boss. I beat him 3rd try, no summon.
so just basically guard and attack. Thanks for the advice haha
It's useless advice becusse it literally doesn't help the boss is broken lol
I beat the game and now playing my second play through and he seems harder now
Amazing, I can’t seem to get through to him but I’ve noticed that when you block an attack, your health does not decrease. Is this an upgrade or something ?
Not sure, maybe a P Organ upgrade.
This guy is legit kicking my ass, I think I'm going to go back to LAD Ishin for a bit.
He’s not as bad as the survivor. That boss was brutal!
How do u legit take no damage when guarding
Well this kinda game when you jump in from time to time no need to rush it, especially if you get to frustrated just turn it off and try next time. Well sometimes this method works for me😅
I despise how this boss makes you play in only 1 way. The only way that will work is perfect parrying. I hatteee that shit. Not rolling, just face to face, parrying every single move. Boring Asf.
I had that epiphany when fighting scrapped watchman. Once I started getting perfect parries on his routines I felt 'this is a musical rhythm game basically??' Instantly felt boring. Where do I insert my style of play or even get my turn?? 😂😂
played all three dark souls, platinumed elden ring, sekiro, and bloodboorne, and this boss is harder than about 90% of every single boss in those games, and its not the actual difficulty, its the artificial difficulty. This game and the bosses wouldnt be NEARLY as difficult if they didnt regenerate health and their health pool wasnt so fucking gigantic. who decided on that? i hope they listen to player feedback and nerf the health pools or get rid of the boss health regen because its so unfair
Was in the same boat as you. Honestly he's not too bad. I used an electric greatsword +2 and was a bit more aggressive with perfect parries. The 2nd phase move where he inflicts burn is bullshit but he gives you enough time to either run away or hide behind a pillar to avoid it.
DAMN I BEEN RUNNING ALL THE WAY THE OTHER END OF THE MAP ON FIRE
Also use the ergo in your inventory to level up. I had like 20k from the ones rhat give you 5k and boost your damage lol
