For the love of god if this ♥♥♥♥♥ shoots me with her sword one more time im gonna punch a hole through my monitor !!!

if you're having trouble parrying just strafe walk her. dodge into the attack when she slams her sword into the ground, and dodge away from her grab. rinse/repeat for ez dub.

what i meant to say is yea im kinda struggling !

[Sledge]

She killed me a few times whilst I studied her patterns / telegraphs.

Most of her moveset is fairly easy to parry. iframes seem quite generous in this game though so, side-strafing and dodging away from the grab as Big Dreams said is a good way to go about it if you're struggling to parry.

NGL I farmed those enemies before her arena to the right for an hour or so in umbral and leveled up 3-4 times and then faced her and did much better. Im doing pure strength build right now with partisan. I had 20 strength when I faced her using the 2 handed fire sword.

Is there an option to summon a guest just to the left of the door (when looking at the door, it may look like a bunch of butterflies or something). I haven't tried that out, but thought it could be of assistance for players wanting to just clear the boss.

The problem with her is just that she has waaay too much hp and damage for a first boss. Otherwise her attacks are very predictable and easy to parry / dodge. Other than that she has too many attacks in p1 2 types of sword combos which can have 2-4 attacks in a row, the laser, holming swords, stabbing her sword into the ground and at random a holy nova as follow up. Second phase is even worse with 7 different attacks.

Thats the thing with a lot of souls like games and why not one of them could surpass Darks Souls, they always think more is better no matter if it makes sense or not. I'm already afraid of the mid to late game when the first boss is already such a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

this. summon the dude, he ends up doing a lot of DMG before he goes down. She's not too bad, just got get good at parrying her 3 hit combo.

Most of her attacks are pathetically slow, so learn to parry and she's a non-issue.

The most annoying parts of her kit are her grab and that quick beam from the sword akin to Lothric's, but outside of that, pretty standard fare. Doesn't even come close to the likes of Godrick.

Not really, just wait for her to do the attacks you can parry.

IDK man I think off an elite enemy its a big sword req like 19 STR and has fire dmg along with physical.

She is a skill check but not that tough. Learn her moves and learn 2 parry.
