How to beat the falling star beast?

[Walker]

I don't really understand what i am supposed to do here.
I watched some guids with players having less progress with their charachter and they can do it so easily.

They make a mimic and that mimic survives the whole fight.

I use a mimic and the beast agros on to him uses his strongest abilities mulitple time in a row and kills it in seconds. I don't know if i have something that makes this beast harder to fight against. It literally spams it attacks giving me no room to recover at all.
If i am not on my little pony i die instantly because i just run out of stamina while this beast spams its attack.

I also don't really do any damage. Playing two katanas. I tried with flame incantation that does a little bit more but way to less.

Problem is also that the beast has one shot moves.

PS: he is also bugging into the ground

[♔V3RD1CT]

Did it on horseback with little to complain about. He hits very hard, but range breaks all his mechanics imp. Also heard some weeks ago that blunt high poise breaking weapons like a mace can be good for this fight, but I can't personally confirm this.

Try using strike damage instead. They're also really easy to dodge, and then punish.

[Nauct]

Striking damage is good. A lot of his moves, once you learn how they look, you can dodge be in front of his head. His head takes big damage and makes him stagger for more damage!

[TheClamMan]

You could try swapping out your weapons for something that does strike damage. You could also try using the flame of redmanes ash of war as that is good for breaking poise. Increasing you damage negation or having more vigor will help prevent you from getting one shotted.

You can try and aim for the head, it takes about 80% more damage there. I haven't tried striking weapons, but I assume those do a bit more damage as well.

When it summons spikes from the ground, just keep sprinting, so you end up near it when it's finished, so you can get some hits in.

If you see it's doing a melee attack, but it's too far away to hit you, wait half a second and then dodge, cause some rocks are coming your way.

2nd phase is actually easier, because instead of charging you 3 times, it only charges 2 times and then stands around doing it's ray attack, giving you plenty time to stab him in the butt.

Other than that? Level your vigor.

I already know the patterns but i don't do enough damage and it spams his attacks non stop

He has very few one shot moves, and none of them should hit you to begin with. Just jump attack its face, it will stagger easily. Don't riposte, just spam attacks on his head while he's down and he will die very fast.

His grap for example i had on try he did that three times in a row between other attacks.

You need to learn his moving patterns, him moving away when you are about to land the hit is his strongest defense and is what is most likely to screw a melee build.

Once you know how to avoid whiffing strikes due to him moving away - be really aggressive and stagger/burst him down.

I think getting bloodhound step can help as well to quickly get out of AOE zones.

Upgrade your mimic, equip better stuff for your mimic to use. You'll want to dodge through its attacks if you can.

again it doesn't matter if i know his pattern or not. Because he simple just spams until i run out of stamina, or make a mistake from there i am death.
He has so many attacks that make you fall on the ground you can't move and you are death.
If i atleast could get some damage on him but he has way to much res

It has short range and a clear telegraph. There's no reason you should die to it more than once.

again if he spams and has one shot it is over. you can't play against spams you don't get to attack and at one point you will run out of stamina. what is so hard to understand for you?

Then you are dodging too much wasting your stam.

I did it on my full-melee 70+17 build (although I did use +7 mimic for that fight) with around 10 tries.

Try bloodhound step if you need more dodging, I did it without, but I bet it would be easier with.

it doesn't matter if he spams it, the telegraphed is long and you should be able to recognize when it's happening. and how are you running out of stamina? you can literally just walk backwards to avoid the grab. what's so hard to understand for you?
