King Cornelius help

[Royal]

I feel like there's something I'm missing with him. The poison on the ground staggers me over constantly, the weapon I picked up outside his arena doesn't hit for much damage it feels, etc... is there something I'm doing wrong or do I just have to tough it out?

It's been a while since I last fought him, but what I noticed was that taking it slow and steady was the key. Also, you can parry the blades flying in the air if your timing is good, which was the big hassle for me back then.

Fair fair. I really hope the fight gets an overhaul though, the blades leaving that acid pool is painful to a plain unfun degree.

I was stuck on King Corn for an hour until i figured out if you walk north or south in a straight line and parry, the walking parry becomes 100% consistent against projectiles and i assume all enemy attacks

otherwise the scythes hit through parries in certain angles, dodging over the acid pools to a better position helps

Use perfect parry against the boss's triple attack with a heavy weapon to do big damage

This boss really feels like a skill check when it comes to parrying

Cornelius was the first boss fight I found to be completely unfair.

The flying hooks force you to drop everything to desperately try to dodge, which is nigh impossible because the flight patterns are inconsistent and completely unpredictable; Sometimes they'll fly past you, sometimes they'll home in with unerring accuracy and other times they make a 180º turn in mid-air for no apparent reason. Between that, the fact that there's two of them so it's very common to dodge/parry one only to get inmediately smacked in the face by the other, and the fact that it's very easy to get boxed in by the acid streams and, most of the time, it feels like it's nearly impossible not to get pummeled.

The rest of the boss' routine is annoying but not that terrible, but that one attack makes the entire ordeal a completely unfun excercise in frustration. Bonus points by the fact that the boss all but spams it.
