Level 25 and Can't Get Past First Bighead

[Bronze Dragon]

I'm level 25 and I still can't get past the first bighead (wandering wight). That's right, folks, I've reached level 25 and I still haven't gotten past the second tutorial cell, the second shrine.

I've tried over and over and over again, but I can only get him down to half health, then he starts on his attacks and I'm done for. There is literally no defense once he starts - the first attack knocks you down, then before you can stand the second knocks you down again...then again...and again...and I'm dead.

I've literally played this cell over and over and over again for 9 and a half hours of play, I have the whole cell memorized. I even know there's some sort of fire demon waiting at the end of this cell. But one enemy at a time.

Is anyone else advancing through all your skills on this one single enemy and making no further progress in the game at all?

I haven't even gotten to the narrative (I imagine there's some sort of narrative to come, to give the game some context...it's not just one demon fight after another like this, is it?).

Go for the fire boss first. You get a spell of him that lets you become him for a short time. This really helps take on the wight.

Make sure you have the skills that help with stamina dodge and ability for the bosses.

Apparently got no chance against him, either.

If u have played a Souls before there are always bosses way stronger that your current level,fight is just unfair unless you decide to suck it up and keep trying over and over till u got it,i gave it like 1-2 hours and went past him,got farmed and came back and kill him first try,there is no shame getting stronger gear and level and beating him,dont let anyone mock u bc ur skills cant kill him with a new character,just kill fire sage,past the bald guy and come back later

ya dude, kill the wolf, get his transformation and it helps. Also, place points in the Thrust stance, it has a good combo set that will help. Immobilization to set up focus points, rinse and repeat.

I'm trying the fire guy now and still no luck. If I can freeze them I can hit them. Otherwise once they start their attack I have literally no defense and no ability to attack while they're attacking me. As a matter of fact I have no chance to attack them at all - the minute I get close they start in on me and I'm dead.

Naw man, I'm done. If I can get to level 25 and still can't get past the second tutorial cell, can't even get to the narrative of the game, then it's just not for me. I like a challenge, but not impossible.

I've played for over 9 hours, but I'n still going to see if I can get my money back.

Pity, too, because in all other ways this game was love at first sight. I really enjoyed it at first. But I expect progress after 25 levels, and I don't even think that's unreasonable.

ok so what u wanna do is use the freeze as much as u can,freeze him attack and then disengage,u can avoid his attacks if u miss when they are about to hit you,it will make a cool thing like leaving a clone behind,ill advice aswell go without the idea of killing the boss just to avoid his attacks,dont focus in kill it,just go and start trying to avoid his attacks and learn his pattern,this game has crazy patterns of attacks really hard to learn,just do your bestm,you can beat them!

For the sake of Monke, DODGE! YOU CAN DODGE! Stop spamming Freeze, watch for their next moves, and learn the enemy's attack patterns. Be aggressive but patient, don't rush.

Did you speak with Git-ha Goodha the sage? He unlocks the necessary skill to beat it

[Lilaɞ]

I feel for you OP It IS a hard game, contrary to what people say. I'm sure it'll click for you randomly and you'll beat him :)

[Kun丶]

If you pay attention, you will see some white pillows near the bighead. Guiding him to smash them will give you some time to hit him.
