Guys you can not dodge Mohg's Nihil

[Four]

Been helping new players beat mohg, the run is always ended when the 2nd phase starts because the host dies to nihil.

You can not dodge, jump or avoid it . You have one job as host, just spam chug your healing flasks, thank you

Guys, new players don't know or use the purifying crystal tear

Poor excuse. By the time you get to Mohg, you can't possibly be considered a "new" player. It's a late game boss, and you should have figured out how the game works by then.

But even if you miss the crystal tear, it's not that huge of a deal. Nihil eats up what, two flasks? You get so many by that point one would think you are either going to kill him or he'll kill you way before you get to use them all.

I've been helping people with Mohg since there's a lot of activity there for the DLC and yes, yes they do. They'll somehow have 700 hp, don't have a purifying tear, don't heal during the nihil and do like 300 damage a swing with their dual starscourge greatsword. I have no idea what they're leveling. They have to be at least level 105 to summon me.

New players reaching that point with 700 HP. Does that even happen ?

The other day, I was summoned into a game. The host died to the first nihil instantly, despite being full health...

Alright, I stand corrected.

Pretty impressive for newbies to get there with subpar stats.
But if From put the access of the DLC here, it's probably to filter them out and telling them to learn the game first.

Full melee, 99 Mind build

Or equal repartion in all stats. Had a build like that, it's pretty interesting as you're spending the game underpowered but still have access to a lot of stuff.

Definitively not something I'd recommand for a new player to do tho.

I really like this kinda run, it's also a solid way for someone who is good at these games to do their 1st playthrough, it means you get to try SO much stuff.
Not gonna be using the high-end sorceries etc., but you get previews of every kinda stat you may wanna build around next character.

I personally do always go pure melee 1st playthrough though, focusing on a giant weapon with wide sweeps.
If an area is particularly easy, though, that's when I give other less upgraded weapons a try.

I like to put my build and setup to the test across the whole game to see it's strengths, weaknesses and particular challenges, but if it's one of the now abundant easy areas anyway, that's also when I mess around with the now abundant respecs to try even more stuff.

it's crazy how I never got summoned once for mohg in my 6-7 months of doing co-op. I guess I was always overleveled or something

If you use Small Golden Effigy and send sign far you can't be summoned there.

You must place sign down with Tarnished's Furled Finger, same as for Placidusax.

I'll take moves that violate core combat mechanics for 500, please.
The tear doesn't even let you dodge it, it just nullifies it entirely. Talk about cheated.

Dat crystal tear obviates the need to chug. Plus you get to avenge a real one in acquiring it.

he still heals which is the worst part for me (and also you do take a bit of damage so technically it just mitigates it).

Mohg makes me bleed my own blood, Mohg.
