Use all of the techniques available to you.

Fury Volley is fast enough and accurate enough to hit him no matter where he goes.

You can block to defend from his attacks, or Perfect Block them to parry them back at him.

Use transformations to give yourself a better chance at dealing worthwhile damage.

As difficult as I'm sure it is, you don't need flight to beat the enemies in this game. It's a crutch, you just need to learn to fight without it.

Hello, I understand what you're saying. This is a game that can be played by charging head-on with a sufficiently strong character or played more tactically. And I agree with it being difficult, but I feel that this difficulty is artificial.

I'm not trying to question the developers' vision, but I have a character in New Game Plus, fairly strong and balanced, and I feel it's perfectly possible to defeat this opponent… if it weren’t for the fact that it’s simply impossible to do so.

Maybe it's just happening to me, but I can't manage it, and I’ve tried several strategies as you mentioned. I’ve tried your tactic and even developed my own using teleport as an evasive move and calling down lightning on the enemy's head, but the furthest I’ve gotten is taking off a tenth of his health. I've mastered parrying like never before in this game and everything.

But I feel that this is just outright unfair. Because all the fights end the same way: with me getting hit after a parry that should have worked, but Idris keeps attacking anyway.

The fact that it has such a small attack window doesn’t make it easier either. You can only hurt him briefly after some attacks, and I don’t mean during his invincibility phase, sometimes I manage to hit him, but he doesn’t stop, even when he’s not invincible.

I know this update just came out, and I don’t expect it to be perfect, but I can’t understand this difficulty peak positively. I’ve defeated enemies in the Elden Ring DLC that were less challenging than this.

I don’t know if you’ve managed to beat him. Maybe my character, with the best armor he can get, 30 hours of gameplay behind him, and some obsessive farming, just isn’t enough to defeat him. But then, when will he be able to do it? I honestly don’t think I’m playing poorly.

The issue for me isn’t that I can’t win by flying or something like that.

Never mind, I was wrong, I finaly did it and it was probably the best fight I had in the game yet. It was very different from what Im used to :).

I beat him in 45 seconds with garbage stats and he never even hit me.

I had high hopes for the fight because you and a lot of others were complaining about how hard he was, and it was extremely disappointing how easy he was.

His health turns gold when he's immune and red when he's vulnerable, and it turns red after every attack.

Time Slow allows you to get a good 50 or so melee hits on him every time he's vulnerable.

Omen form will amplify your damage significantly against him, so combining that with Time Slow is crazy strong.

I sincerely believe you're just impatient and bullheaded and weren't fighting him with any ounce of strategy.

Idris definitely got hands...Never had an issue with any other fight and he got me out here looking like Yamcha. I'm used to just flying around and blasting so I know I definitely need to learn a new strategy.

I beat Idris in 45 seconds with low stats, and without getting hit.

If you're finding him impossible to beat, that is -entirely- on you, not the game. He's not a hard fight.

what is time slow

Oh

My god

No wonder y'all are struggling so much

There's a skill called "Slow Mo", I call it Time Slow cause that's what it used to be called before one of the updates changed it.

At the start, it just speeds you up, but the more you use it, the more it levels up, and at max level it not only speeds you up, but it slows down everything else to the point of basically not moving at all.

Using Time Slow, even in it's base version, allows you to get a good 20-30 hits in on him befoe it runs out. At it's max level, which is what I had, it gave me enough time to get closer to 40 or 50 hits on him.

With a decent Strength stat, decent Dexterity stat, and Omen Form active when you use it, he's way easier to beat.
