[ttv/loungingwithred]

Their is a cheese on YT not sure if it still works though but look it up

Well at the core she's a BNA which aren't easy nuts to crack. Dex bosses are always a pain in the ass.

The main thing is, while she can't really be stunlocked, she will stagger easily in all but 2 of her attacks, even to light weapons. And she can be knocked down.

Greydolls roar for example will knock her flat on her ass (and debuff her).

BNAs in general are immune to most status effects, EXCEPT frostbite, which they are apparently quite susceptible to.

Apparently, haven't tested this myself, they can be backstabbed too. You have to wait for their overhead slam as the biggest opening.

More resistant to holy damage than other sources. Also resistant to strike damage.

Nobody likes BNAs alright? I personally have a strong hatred for them since the first time I went through Ordina Liturgical Town.

They're the boreal outrider knights of Elden Ring essentially.

the tracking is what makes it so good
also you can charge it
talismans are magic scorpion charm, godfreys and ritual sword
also high int and a good upgraded staff help

also - what is your int and what staff are you using and what level is it?
stars of ruin should do a lot of damage actually

Have to know her attacks, but the tax is you have to run away from her all the time and punish her when its time to punish (i did it easily with samurai build)

i have meteor staff and 51 int

I just spammed the weapon ability on the great sword from the Elden beast. He cant really dodge it and it knocks him down, letting you back up when he closes in on you.

alright there is your problem
at this point you should have lusats +9 and 65 int without godricks great rune
godricks rune makes it 70 int and wonderous physik int knot pushes it to 80 (softcap)
