Black Blade Kindred, Worst Boss?

[Blozzy]

+7 bloodhound fang level 80, and i still tickle him. Fighting in the laggiest part of the game (Dragonbarrow) isnt helping either. These gargoyle bosses are all the worst in this game so far

Easy boss

[Arctic]

hes a boss you can either burst or have patience with, just go +10 your weapon adn fight it later its meant to be a hard boss to catch people out.

listen closely young padawan im going to teach you the trick to elden ring. Get you a second curved sword you can power stance with and level it up. Then if you dont have it already go get the claw talisman and the turtle talisman and equip them. Now this is the confusing part you have to master a new rotation PAY CLOSE ATTENTION: A, L1, A, L1, A, and L1. repeat this forever.

That is a nasty boss that is really meant to screw with ya. Def want summons or a form of distraction to help. His proc damage is pretty lame, and requires like two +6 flasks to recover from that the boss personally will not give you the time to do so.

This leads to things like hiding behind the pillars of his zone, but then you just allow his full aggro to cap out the other person. It's not a easy one, though I beat it twice thanks to distraction factor like right off the bat without practice.

The difficulty from this boss comes from it's high damage and his tanking ability ; but his pattern is quite easy.
If you wanna take it down, you need to have high vigor (30+) in order to not be oneshot when you make a single mistake ; and as usual get used to his pattern.

Keep your distances when he attacks, time your rolls accordingly, only attack when it's safe and don't be greedy on the damage dealing ; then you'll be fine.

Don't let the fight ever continue on the steps, the incline causes headaches. Don't rush up to him at the start either, you can get behind him and he won't become aggressive unless you do or sprint near him; use that to butter him up with your strongest 1-2 hits to get a decent damage start (just be ready to dodge his corpse wax cutter).

When I fought him I took off 3k of his HP at the start with flame grant me strength + fire boost physick + queen's black flame.

Yeah that's another thing. Most bosses come at you with a pretty basic btch mechanic, while this boss actually comes at you like he came straight out of Devil May Cry. Yeesh

So far i havent seen a single boss/enemy that can resist black fire magic , give it a shot

[Mumkey Jones]

My estimate from my experience was that he is probably scaled for like level 100 so yeah makes sense you are still having trouble. Also he makes every other gargoyle in the game seem easy so I appreciate his fight for that reason.

Also, in my opinion they make him very hard on purpose because leaving him alive ends up being useful if you are progressing the quest of the NPC behind him. It's also a way of them letting the player know you are in a very high level area if you end up there from the waygate you can access early on.

[Kozzy]

Didn't find him tough at all tbh, you are very low level for this part of the game, level up some more and get your weapon upgraded fully.

Blackfire is just fire damage and same for the DoT; he does have a lot of fire resist it just depends how much you crank up your damage on top of how much HP they have and kindred has like 12.5k.

All the gargoyle's are weak to strike/magic but resist everything else heavily and immune to all status.

It kept ending up like a mile away from me after each attack, and the fight was taking forever because I had to maneuver over the stairs each time it ended up away from me, so I used my horse to get close to it before getting off.

I noticed something kind of interesting when I did that. It would attack where I just was, and it basically started missing me with everything. Horse makes a lot of fights easier, but usually you at least have to like back up when an enemy starts swinging, or get off to be able to dodge at close range. The black blade kindred just straight up missed me if I simply walked up to it.

Its something I kind of noticed even with all the other gargoyles you can't use horse for. If you're right under their feet, a lot of times they just don't hit you, or swing past you at nothing. Its just they'll move around enough you can't sit under their feet if you don't have a horse.

I ended up dropping the horse and just luring it away from the stairs after realizing it just straight up couldn't fight me if I was able to close in fast. But if you want to beat him easily and don't care what trivializes the fight, just walk around its attacks on horse. It seriously just starts swinging at nothing so you can basically sit there attacking off cd.
