Oh man, nameless puppet phase 2 is rough

[bulldog0890]

it still only took me five tries or so, but i had to abuse the absolute hell out of both throwables and the fully upgraded falcon eye arm

Easy if you use Two Dragon. I didn't use two dragons for the rest of the game but parrying with two dragons for Nameless is so fun.

Definitely hardest boss in the game for me. I lost count of how many tries it took. And the fact that there is no spectre option to help you is a ridiculous oversight/middle finger to the player.

Which he only has 2 of xD
Never used the parry grindstone cause it just leads to bad habits imho.
(Also afraid of it running out outside my notice). So i used acid one instead lmfao

Really late on the reply on this one, but c'mon man. I'm listening to music and watching my fav streamers while I'm fighting the boss. I don't wanna hear Geppetto keep calling me a bad boy. :/

There is no sound cue / indication for its Fury attack in phase 2. You can continue watching your favorite streamer beating the game while you just wish to be able to play it.

I think that was very much intentional.

its an optional CHALLENGE boss, having a baby mode training wheels such as specter there would invalidate it.

As the others have said. use perfect grindstone and phase 2 gets a bit trivial. The attacks themselves I could dodge / perfect guard but when he red fury dashed at me and dealt half my health bar I said enough is enough. Devs think it is a good idea to have a fury attack that requires millisecond response time, and plus locks away the ability to dodge said attack behind a NG++ p organ tree? You basically take free damage from that and I think they need to go back and review this decision.

Just wanted to say thanks (to you and others) for this tip because it gave me the edge & ultimately made the difference. Phase 1 I enjoyed the rhythm of the parrying but Phase 2 (overstimulating) was just use perfect guard grindstone and hope for the best. I had to save scum so I'd stop losing all my items (dishonourable I know) bc I was so tired of grinding for ergo...my hands are still shaking haha

Yes, intentional since he is technically optional.

ng++ and im stuck on him just to get my last chieve for platinum.
Keep getting him down to quarter hp but then the script kicks in and starts to do a 12 hit combo or whatever as soon as stagger bar shows up all while trying to pull off 1 heal to survive the guard hits which i die too.

Just use Aegis amd throwing items.

Most of the game you have to fight passiv against bosses. But for the last 3 its better to go for it and trade hits to push out damage. Dont try to perfect parry everything - just block and dish out damage - only perfect parry the red stuff. (Dont mind if you are a parry-god)

Killed the last three within 2 tries each (NG/NG+) without throwables or ghost or parry-stone. The good thing is they have not much health.

Just stick to their ass, dodge, block.. and hit them hard. Dont stay passiv and let them attack spam you - dodge and strick back. Equip your best armor and the +1 carry amulet - also the physical resistenz amulet. Dont forget to buff your weapon.

I used bonesaw with the saber handl. The fabel art of the handl can spam a ton of damage.

Simon did have a lot of health before the patch. I managed it eventually but am happy it'll be a shorter fight on ng+ As for nameless puppet, phase 2 is harder to parry because of his red flashes make it hard to focus on when it's a red parry only attack.

Objectively incorrect. Exact same sound cue for any other fury attack in the game. Trust me, i did 4 playthroughs of the game.
