Tips for Viper?

Are you going for dodges or parry? I am doing my play through with spear and parry. There isn't a lot to say just watch the wind-ups for the swings. Because the boss uses a double glaive the flourishes it does as wind-ups look like attacks when they are not.

Make use of Assault if you have it as well as brutal attacks when you exhaust him. Moon stance allowed me to chew through his stamina bar.

Halfay through stage 1? I hope not

Get your parry timings right. In stage 1 after he's done with a combo you can use your light attack safely and get into moon stance. Then after another combo or with good positioning and timing you can do an improved charged heavy attack, which staggers Viper and you can continue into a full combo, with correct skills that's a lot of damage. In stage 2 he no longer staggers from a charged heavy.

Get comfy with parrying.

I actually beat him 3 attempts after posting this. Sekiro got me good at parry timing.

Honestly just focus on memorizing his first phase, after that do it for the second. Don't go in thinking of beating him, the fight is too long for that and you'll mess up. Just do your best to memorize, once I did it I was going through his first phase mostly almost no hit.
