to cut off Kalameet tail...

[Sca]

Hi guys
I tried to cut off Kalameet´s tail 467229136319 tries with out a result -.- but to kill him I only need 6-9 with out to cut his tail. Is it rly so hard or just I'am too bad?

[Dame Arstor]

it is quite hard to cut his tail as his tail can only be cut during certain attacks

[MadMonkMarkov]

From what i've seen so far Katanas (or anything with vertical slashes) are the best for cutting tails.

[Mr. Mannperson]

If you're fightin him like really cautiously, cutting his tail off is gonna happen anyway because his tail smash after his swoopy move is a time where he's pretty vulnerable. I smashed it off with Smough's hammer once cause it's a big weapon.

thx for the tip I'am going to try it in NG+

[Lord Motav]

His weapon isnt needed for any achievement and isnt THAT great so I would suggest not worrying about it. Sure if you really want it go for it but its pretty annoying and not worth the trouble.

[Mr. Mannperson]

It's one of the only dragon weapons you can buff, and it has that AOE attack. Really good for faith or sorcery builds.

[Vlad The Squeamish]

What's your soul level? Maybe someone can help you.

My SL is 88 and Kalameet is dead in my game^^
Maybe NG+ again

[Lethalness]

Unless u are going to Solo this, put some light armor until u can fast roll and wait for kalameet to breath fire on his sitting animation and then hit his tail as fast as u can. hope this helps

[Mr. Mannperson]

If you dodge his swoop just right and he tail-smashes, a large club+15 with power within can one-shot the tail. I dodge to the side twice and then forward while locked on. He'll only do it if you're right under his butt when he lands tho, so it's all luck.
I just tested that now on NG+2

Trying to one-shot the tail can work, but I never had any luck landing that one miracle hit. I found good success however with the Great Scythe's vertical slashes.

Alternatively, I've also snapped off the tail through manually aiming a bow, but while the process is 'safe', it's also pretty hard to aim right in this game.

[Mr. Mannperson]

It's not hard to hit it once he slams the tail. Just dodge to the side once when he raises his tail, unlock, and jump attack with the hardest-hitting weapon ya got. He's really inaccurate with his tail smash.
The problem is getting him to do it. He can be really stubborn sometimes. -_-
But ya, the longer the weapon, the better. Great Scythe might work.

Kalameet was the only boss in the game that really gave me trouble. Screw that guy.

That was the most helpful video that consistently got the boss to do the flying thrust move.

You want to be facing directly infront the boss but at a medium distance, and watch your surroundings. Kalameet will not start the flying thrust if there's not enough landing room behind you. That is probably the most important point.

Also, watch your stamina gauge as you'll want it to be full to completely block his gap closing hit.

He has two other moves which will help you cut the tail, but it's less reliable to pull off.

[Mr. Mannperson]

I've had him do the swoop move when I was near a wall. He umm turned somehow and his attack messed up and I couldn't avoid it -_-
It's rare tho.
Also wow, dat video. He just...SIDESTEPPED IT. o_o
