King of Puppets unbelievable

[B a q z i ツ]

first phase fully fine but romeo could be a single phase standalone boss, what the ♥♥♥♥ you want us to do how can you beat every boss in game without spectre in <10 tries but this guy is like malenia x 2

[Kashra Fall]

Haha, welcome to the king of puppets. He was a pain in the ass with a heavy motivity weapon and no spectre. Took me like 3-4 hours of attempts. The final phase of the fight has some tips and tricks you'll figure out over your many losses against hi thought. Suffice to say, you shouldn't fight phase 2, like you fought phase 1.

[Insanity Factor]

Oh boy yes, fighting the 2nd phase is kind of a paradigm shift when it comes to boss strats I feel, you probably have to be some kind of literal parry god to do perfect guards on all of his attacks.

Like Malenia? Are u kidding me, second attempt here, skill issue maybe

Malenia took 6.5 hours... so unless this guy takes you 13, I doubt.

[Silvers]

Best way to beat him is stay aggressive and dodge his chains and even his red attack can be simply dodged. He will stagger every now and then

[Senki]

use dodge instead of parry for the second phase

the second phase is extremely easy outside of that one fire attack which he rarely ever uses

all of his attacks are extremely easy to dodge

Malenia took me about 35 minutes. This guy took me 3-4 hours. Malenia had one main MAJOR weakness, bleed. The puppet king has one weakness and it isn't major, nor can it be reapplied easily. Electrify.

Ah, you used bleed. I didn't. Pure melee, with a few Lion's Claws. Mano a mano.

Much like this game, that's choice. Some people like to go super chonky weapons (Like me.) and punish themselves. In ER I used elemental or status effect weapons. Frost bite staff from the bird, or bleeding whip/2 handed saw (Simply cause it was cool.) For malenia, it was a mixture of that and the bleed bug spell, which cost nothing and absolutely wrecked her for no reason what so ever.

Lol, getrekt Malenia.

King is the biggest wall in the game. It honestly gets easier all the way to the end. Last boss wasn't as hard.

skill issue lol. l2p

lmao I died so much I was getting to his second phase without wasting a single heal, but then was getting one shotted by the "waterfowl dance". This time I didn't even let him do it once 😂

Basically this, the guy seems like he has severe myopia, until he imbues fire on weapon, then he becomes literally god incarnate for 8 hits. I managed to parry them all at least once.

If you'rte still struggling, do what this guy does. The intro cutscene was longer than the actual fight
