how to kill rykhard

[daniel]

hi any tipp to kill him i tryt it but cant kill him and yes i use the spezial sword

[Zogtar]

You just have to be more special. Use that special sword's laser beam, don't give up, level up vigor.

[Lord Bob]

Make sure to not heavy roll (have your equip load beneath 69%).
Equip the Hammer Talisman and Axe Talisman, equip your Wondrous Physik with the Stonebarb Cracked Tear and try to spam the Serpent Hunter's weapon art.

This should easily have him staggered throughout the entire fight.

Good luck, and remember: don't give up, skeleton!

edit: Axe Talisman in case you run out of fp, which is when it's time for charged heavy attacks.

The Weapon Art on the spear is a guaranteed interrupt. In the second phase, you can prevent him from doing the skull-summoning by hitting him with it when he rises up while humming, and he'll just keep trying to do it over and over. WA, a couple of R1s, WA, a couple R1s, repeat until dead. Just keep an eye on your mana and sub a blue estus for R1s when needed.

By the way, what's your rune level right now?

[daniel]

70+

Just hit him untill he dies. If I remember correctly the 0 iq start is:

Equip lance in primary hand, that spec weapon in secondary hand. Crouch, heavy attack, repeat. You can kill him at lvl 1 with that.

A personal favourite strategy of mine is to use the Serpent-Hunter in combination with a Greatshield.

Since most of Rykards attacks are pure physical damage, you can simply block everything. And since the Serpent-Hunter is a Greatspear, you can use shieldpoke attacks while blocking.
This both negates any incoming damage and is also a very efficient source of damage that tends to stack up quickly. No need to worry about getting guardbroken, as most of the time Rykard is slow enough that you can recover before getting hit.
Though, i would still advise to preserve your stamina when possible, and take as few risks as possible.

Any 100% Physical absorption Greatshield will do, even better if you upgrade it.
Equip the Greatshield Talisman and the Spear Talisman for additional buffs to this approach.
