Elemer of the Briar

[Deathwing1306]

Has anyone reached this boss already ? What do you think ?

I haven't seen stupider boss in my whole Souls games career, you can't do anything, you either have to be lucky or do it within 2-3 hits which is pretty stupid. I have been trying this boss for like 20-30 minutes already and I have a feeling that he has new attacks every single time, he is exceeding his combos every attempt lol.

just parry him crazy cheese but that floating sword punished rolls way too much

Went to him overleveled so he went down quickly. But his ranged attacks are quite nasty. You need to stay close to him to have a chance. Also, the first thing I did was rolling into the tables to clear up the arena a little bit.

Man you think that was a roll punish? Just wait tell you see the end game bosses.

I can beat him probably if I take my time, but it's pissing me off how this boss is made because it's not Midir or Gael from DS3, it's just a random big dude in tower :D

The other thing is that I am using greatsword so those "couple quick hits" are just one hit for me and even that is too much sometimes lol

He is not just a random dude, he is a reference to Kirk from DS1 and DS3. His armor is coated in barbed wire that deals damage like Kirk does, also he can invade you in several spots when you least expect it being the exact same boss then.

And aslong as he lives there is a chance he will invade again and again, doesn't matter if you win or lose. Kill the real one to stop his invasion phantoms.

I can confirm that that is not the case. There are four specific locations the Bell Bearing Hunter can be fought. None of them are random and will be there after you kill Elemer.

I just smashed his face in with an anchor
