Just keep one tab dodging to the left and hit him on the side and back, can do it with all of his attacks minus the rage.

This boss is doing my head in.

Alright. Will try dodging. I'm just annoyed at how smooth I've gotten at the first phase but the second phase has me f#cked with its weird timings. It feels like he does red attack then holds it for a micro second, then of course I immediately try to parry after missing parry with his weird micro stutter only to get grabbed with this unreliable parry system.

f#cking same man. im working out more with the amount of push ups I do than playing at this point

[Pink Eye]

Alright dodging does seem to be the answer to his second phase. I got much farther than I ever have with block/parry.

When he lights his scythe on fire you can use the aegis arm to stun him out of the combo if he hasn't recently been staggered (Not the white bar stagger but how he gets pushed back and takes a second after taking damage, theres just not a better word for that)

[Kasper Kroenen]

he staggers quite easily I've noticed. Also, he is immobile after being knocked down after a stagger-attack for quite a bit, so you can get some good damage in. He is fast, but besides his frenzied flame attack (which I just guarded through as much as I could and then healed up) I managed to guard myself through most of his attacks quite fine. I just sneak an attack in, then play defensively and repeat. His 4 or 5 hit combo is a good way to farm the stagger-bar on him if you perfect guard him couple of times.

I actually think this boss is going to be it for it.
Dodging and parrying....i just feel like the timing is never the same, I push the same button for the same move twice in a row and it never works.
I push the button to heal and nothing happens.
The camera would be the biggest problem, he jams you up in a corner you can see anything, next thing I know, i'm dead.
I dunno, just frustrated with it.

when hes charging his weapon with fire, hit him with a strong fable arts or charged attack to cancel it...

I feel like the game is swallowing up the inputs or something, sh1t is frustrating. your telling me this f#cker gets a Malenia water fowl and im expected to survive that crap with an unresponsive parry system that only works whenever it feels like it and a dodge that is like waddling in swamp compared to Elden Rings smooth dodges.

ok bro. thank you for heads up. if it works. if i can cancel that water fowl he pulls from butt. then this is still possible.

i quit at this boss because its intentionally designed to be tedious as hell.
the first phase consists of a guy with long arms knocking you away repeatedly (even if you perfect guard) and then keeping you away with stretchy arms. On top of that, he has moves that you are forced to run away from to waste even more of your time. If that wasn't enough, his health pool is ridiculous. It's like fighting Dhalsim in street fighter except he has a ****ton of health like Zangief because that **** wasn't tedious and annoying enough already.

then the second phase is easy... except for one dumb@$$ malenia wannabe ripoff move that normal humans will have to practice to parry properly, and you can't dodge because it has so many swings that you'll run out of stamina. and he ONLY does it when hes almost dead. Whether or not you can interrupt it is luck, because if he starts doing it right after you just stunned him he will take too many hits to stagger again and start the attack no matter how many times he's hit.

One super long phase of annoying tedious bullcrap, and another medium phase of easy bullcrap, just to get to the part you need to practice. They completely forgot about "fun" when designing this garbage.

And yeah I have no problem dropping this game here because it was "free" on game pass and I have plenty of games to play that are actually enjoyable.
