Tips for King of Puppets?

[a person]

I’ve gotten him to second phase and I keep dying to his somewhat infinite combo attack and idk how to dodge it. I also was wondering if my weapon was underleveled (+6 greatsword of fate blade yes I never switched weapons)?

[Senki]

dodge to the side in second phase instead of parrying, it's much easier

[lil ameba]

Put Romeo in phase 2 by throwing grenades and keeping his distance, then run

Learn to parry it or set him up for a stagger or stance break beforehand. The greatsword blade has a good fable art that can help with that if you use it as he's buffing his weapon.

The greatsword's handle has a good defensive fable art that can be used to perfect block parts of the attack.

[Safarel]

Two heavy charged attack must interrupt him while he are preparing to his combo-wombo
Or charged heavy + fable art
Or charged heavy + cannon ball

[masseychris32]

try the police baton handle with the pipe wrench head

That damn king lying about urine again

just beat him again a moment ago. so my thoughts going solo with a Balance build:

+6 is exactly where you need to be. your stats matter a lot here too as well as Organ upgrades, Health and Stamina meed to be in check as well as capacity for the proper amount of defense you can afford. i had 26 in both Motivity and Technique but had to respec for a little more survival.

as always it depends on if youre using a Specter, are you going for solo bragging rights? prefer to be a lonely puppet? or is the specter dying too fast? the Wish cubes only real function is Specter buffing after all.

Electric Grindstone is handy here for demolishing the initial King Mech suit. also fairly easy to inflict Corrosion with the Pandemonium Arm because hes so big and can often stay in place for awhile when attacking. can eat up a nice chunk of his health and gotta use that Legion for something!

Romeos first phase i spent a lot of time running to keep space and attacking from openings when he does his high recovery attacks like the red stomps. dodging back worked for me on most moves. the scyhthe throw and charge were the ones i need to block. however i used the Booster handle + Bonesaw so have an extremely different experience. my charged heavy was what i used 80% of the time and my guard was pretty high from bonesaw.

right at the beginning of Romeos 2nd phase he will "Fire Up" to start his silly 9 or 10 hit combo, cant recall the actual hits. either way throw a Shotput or two at his ugly burnt jerky face and knock him right out of that nonsense, he wont even get to use it AND you deal good damage. after that if youre feeling rich AND sassy you can throw more Shotputs, Blitz and Carcass bottles at him until he dies. otherwise youre going to have to play sorta like phase 1 but constantly watching out for that combo start-up again.

if you do allow him to start the fire combo you can typically run away from something like 6 of the attacks and then you need to dodge or block the final swings. i seemed to have more like dodging INTO his final attacks.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: do not run directly away from his attacks, you need to run to the side.

[Nagrenol]

A little earlier today I finally got him. I'd gotten him to 25% once or twice but the Malenia like spam was really irritating to deal with.
In the end I got him down by first spamming the P1 with 5 electric potions and some balls
P2 was mostly avoiding, firing everything else I had at him.
The friendship wish for the cube was super helpful in keeping the spectre alive longer in that phase.
Also the damage from the big pipe wrench>Motivity @+7 made a huge difference in that closing %.. but I BEARLY made it out alive. think I had about 10hp when he died!

dodge in his second phase.
heavy attack as soon as he goes for the fire combo to skpi to. (not workin all the time)
a shot put will also skip the combo.
or heal as soon as he starts. run away and then spam parry and hope you survive

it's good advice for new players that don't want to do all that trial and error stuff

if it works it works

This is not sekiro where you are absolutely forced to parry all the time. There are other options that work.

bla bla dumb bla"



if Sekiro bosses have combos that you can easily expend an item or resource to totally counter...then yes i would recommend them. its been a long time since i played but im pretty sure some do in fact have some move counters like the bridge monk? i actually recall some bosses in Sekiro could just be sprinted around in circles and beaten that way pretty easily too.

anyway also if youre a native english speaker....youre failing at life. if youre not native you need a better translator than that TI83 calculator youre using.

edit: Talk about bad advice. this dink-donk on their Elden Ring review

"All game is Ctrl C Ctrl V ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ especially bosses
Magic is completly broken it feels like joke , you may just use cheat engine and hack your stats instead"



Ok. So....you use cheat engine to beat all the Souls games and probably Lies of P etc BUT you think you still can claim to have a meaningful opinion on skill?

Also pretty sure they interact with themself through alt accounts. Sorry to go so far off topic but wow. They truly are role-playing Mad Donkey IRL

[WhiteCore]

I just beat him using the umbrella, for the part where he sets his weapon on fire (in the middle of the animation you must use three charges of fable to use the charged F). If you do it in time, his fire attacks will be canceled.

[BadDadSoSad]

phase 2 it's best to dodge left. when he's about to do his fury attack you can stun him out of it with shot puts-you can purchase them infinitely from the malum district merchant
