dancing lion is the WORST boss ever

[Dannyboi]

this boss is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ unfair. no weaknesses at all, except he's slightly prone to poise breaking. His attacks are really confusing and can't tell who he's actually going at. His head is the only spot that takes damage. Not to mention he has a roster of ranged and close attacks. AND he never STOPS ATTACKING

[Arthur]

i managed to beat him in one try by using the npc summon, the mimic spirit ash, and then heavy armor with two halberds. i don't use magic and never have so i can't say how easy or hard it would be with light armor though. you can also put i think it's called the cerulean tear in your physick flask which will give you a shield that absorbs one attack for you
wait until you get to the boss in the top left of the map, that one is brutal...

He bleeds easy and using a mimic made that boss a cakewalk.

Brutal boss. But fun.

This boss took me a bunch of tries but its overall quite an easy boss.
Having said that this depends how long you let the fight go on.so i checked and after it runs all the element phases it starts switching very fast between them which is really horrible.
i found best thing to do was focus on dodging for lightning phase and then try burst during ice phase.
Also keep in mind boss has animatiions to change elements which they are completly exposed for damage.
Lightning is 100% the worst though beause of the arena spread and risk of them roll catching you with lightning spells.you can dodge them all though.
Also if you huge boss half their casts and aoe wont hit you XD

It prepares you for the trailer boss, when you meet him you'll wish you were fighting the lion

[NoiosoBear]

I really enjoyed him. Dancing lion took me two attempts, boss after took me 8-9, and I'm currently stuck on the third one.

There are some bosses in DLC that will make you regret using mimic. It only hinders you.

[phosTR]

Greatshield, bleed, summon and that's it i guess. Or summon + magic non-stop.

[Hunter Este]

I found his attacks confusing. It took about 4-5 tries before I was able to get him down.

Really cool boss design though!

Who cares, the post was talking about how hard the boss was, use all the tools you have to beat it. even without mimic its just a visual clutter boss at most.

just... git gud
