How do you beat commander Niall

[The deep]

I can't even kill one of his summons but when i can he spams aoe attacks and you cant ever hit him, how do you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ do this?

[[-iD-]]

use headless summon
take out dual sword guy first asap
take out shield guy asap after
learn2dodge lightning moves because they are mostly homing and can hit you either close up or from other side of arena if he jumps up.
attack right after he does any major moves that slow him down.

There's a trick to beating him. You have to try and inflict as much damage on him, while also making sure that you don't get hit too much.

Both spirits have leap attacks that you want to roll from otherwise they'll catch you and lock you into place. They're strong too but basically hit them with heavy weapons because they stagger easily. As for Nial, he has three openings when I fought him last week.

1. The thunder kick, this one leaves him open for one or two hits once he lands after jumping

2. He swipes the ground with his spear and charges at the tarnished and then swipes two additional times, you can hit him once he's done with those

3. His charge up attack where he tires himself out. This is where he covers the arena in a blizzard and charges yet again with the spear. He kneels on one knee as he is recovering

Basically you want to lure him into using those three attacks. Be WARY of his random side kicks, they'll be unexpected

Kill mobs first, they don't respawn, but be careful, because he can buff them in attack and defense, so the best strategy is this: go with horse (you can mount vs him) and kill minions first. And attack him at his right, is more vulnerable there.

you can't mount in this fight tho

can you parry the summons? Cause i feel like the parry timing is easier in this game.

Something seems off about ur dmg, I was able to kill both his mobs before he reached me as a melee user and then it was a 1v1

well my bloodfang blade does nothing to him and my cold claymore does nothing to his summons.

Hmmm idk without being able to go test stuff for you? What level are you and what lvl did you say ur weapon/s are? All I was using was the generic "Greatsword" from Caelid I think it was

[Jonny Sparta]

as said dual sword guy first, then shield.

Once u've got the boss 1v1 work on getting the dodges down for his lightning attacks.

For his regular combos with greatsword there's enough time to do a dodge into light in between most of his hits - safer from the front i believe as his back attack comes out fast.

level 109 +9 bloodfang blade +18 cold claymore

yes. i found the dual bladed one easier to parry. also him being more aggressive helps to separate him from the other two. i couldn't parry the shielded one reliably so i ended up just outpacing him with my own shield.

interesting, thank you.

I killed him with melee. I parried the summons to death, then learn how to dodge hits moves. The big aoe move you just run out and wait.
