Tips for Dracula's final phase

[Simple Tora]

I've died enough on him that his first 2 phases i've basically got down and can get through without taking very many hits. When it comes to his final phase with the obnoxious pulsing though I get absolutely destroyed by all the crazy amount of stuff he throws out and when I do manage to dodge a lot of it he does the pulse and throws me into all the attacks and I die.

Should mention i'm solo and on brutal. This is the last thing I have to do to 100% the game but he's almost as annoying as fighting Vincent early on was

I used a spell build. Maleficer Scholar Armour Set with 100% Scholar Blood and Two Shield Spells.. Legendary Artifact Crossbow and Legendary Artifact Pistols.

It takes spell swaps during some of the phases. Some use different spells but they all seem to use the same spells at the last phase.

Wouldn't soliciting tips online invalidate a blind playthrough?

blind playthrough only with reedit, steam discussion, youtube and wiki - such a gamer

Game doesn’t exactly explain a lot of things very well and I actually have a life/job so I take a little help here and there. Still, I would rather be surprised for all I know he has another phase

Note: I finally managed to beat him after about 4 tries today (like 30 the other day) mosquito and cold snap were my spell choices and seemed to do wonders. Though it was a bit of RNG on getting the reset on abilities with Dracula's blood.

Just putting this here in case anybody else needs help on that part.

Congratulations on defeating Drac! He's Otherworldly on Brutal if you don't approach with proper methods and for me I had to skill swap halfway lol.

Same, I used the unholy skill shot thing to inflict condemn and lighting curtain for the first 2 phases and on the final I swapped to cold snap and mosquito to inflict weaken and keep shields up as long as possible.

I got way too good at his first 2 phases I honestly didn't need anything tho since I died to him a billion times I got used to his patterns

Spamming corrupted skulll and death knight also does wonders in his last phase, you might not even need to swing your weapon once with all the recasts you're gonna get, and your minions are not only going to decimate his health but will also block projectiles for you.
