defeat Paris -.-

[Nozan]

its the last achivment i need :S
but this boss is really hard for me
any tipps?

Run, try jumping attack, run away - repeat. You can try to hide behind small broken walls in the center of the arena, which should make a good cover from his attacks. Just play it safe, it can be long but in the end it’s not that hard.

it would make more sense when we get the achivment for defeat Paris in at the Endboss fight

This fight is about patience, you either spam shield attacks and outlast him, or time your aggression in windows

If you get hit by his arrows, it will reduce your max HP each time but there is a cap which is when the achilles voice line gets triggered.

If you time your shield throws for when he's about to attack, they have a higher chance of not also dealing damage, but staggering his attack. If you throw it after he attacks, there's a chance you can miss entirely because his AI will dodge after firing.

If he's cornered he will try to strike you with his daggers. His melee attack is super telegraphed, meaning you can dodge out of the way even while you're mid attack because the animation is slow enough, or spartan kick it to cancel it and get in free hits.

You can use the ledges like someone said, but I would not count on them, there are small gaps in them that an arrow can slip through, and if he grenades the wall and you're not quick enough, the fact it has a hitbox means the grenade actually explodes on it much closer than where you think it will and as a result you get tagged from it. His AI will also eventually path to the side making it so you can't hug the horizontal part of the wall anymore.

If you don't have stamina to dodge, blocking is always a viable option. In fact, it reduces the damage of his arrow by something crazy like 80%, meaning although you take damage it's a scratch.

If you manage to pick up Fury potions on the way, you can spartan kick a bunch of times in succession without needing to build fury with normal hits.

yes and its so easy with a controller.....

[kaci.007]

On the store page, the devs literally say they recommend playing it with the controller. It's the exact same situation as with any other game using the same combat system. Dark Souls games are pretty much unplayable on M&K.

I just bought the game and did this on my second attempt. Literally just run at him, heavy attack (will knock him down), do 1 light attack while he is down, back up and run at him with a heavy attack again as soon as he is up, light attack, repeat the process. You shouldn't even get hit with this strategy.

And is there a cutscene after that?

[CitizenX3639]

i just got this tonight. Simply start a new game on story mode, just continually get up by him and dash away to avoid his attacks. Do Jump attacks, med. attacks. I still had 3 potions left. Kick will give you some hits too.

Unfortunately, no, I managed this my first go around by doing the leaping heavy attack from sprinting, and was really surprised that it just immediately cut to an obviously "Achilles Died" cutscene, I figured about half-way though his health bar that he was the Dark Souls Prologue Boss but was kind of sad there was no easter egg for it.
