Sister Friede - SL1 NG+7 no roll/rings/buffs

Okay I wouldn’t say the boss has grown on me as much as my opinion has stabilized after overcoming my actual skill issues. Phase 3 is okay, phase 1 is still extremely bad, and phase 2 is so bad it completely ruins the fight. I’d still rank this boss extremely low in DS3 but at least I’m decent at it and I’ve found a few things to enjoy in p3. Too bad p2 is mind numbing and every phase is completely broken, thanks Miyazaki.
This is the fastest kill I could find under these restrictions. It could certainly be improved, if I’d played a little cleaner this kill could have easily been sub6 just from time save in p3 alone.
And yes, I use bleed for phase 2, because the phase is painfully boring and not even hard. I got through p2 a bunch of times with storm ruler before switching to blood dagger, it’s really not hard just an obnoxious test of patience.
Shoutout to Demofreak for giving me a lot of valuable tips on the fight ❤️
Song: “Synesthesia” by Porcupine Tree
You will not believe how long I took to find a good song for this kill. I was very picky, and this was the best that I could find. Friede is always a difficult boss to find a song for, because of the three phases and also 25 seconds where there’s no gameplay. I won’t settle for a song unless it actually fits with the gameplay, so that’s why it took me forever.
