Ozma Boss fight

[Rynastiv]

This fight is absolutely insane. I am not that type of a person that comes out here and scream for nerfs, but i think this boss is absolutely insane and difficult. It has 3 phases!!! and you only get 8 heals maximum, this is pretty challenging.

Not to mention it takes forever, especially the first phase. This Boss has too much hp, i mean sh*t every boss is almost a tank in this game, but this dude is nuts. His second phase is brutal AF and i mean BRUTALLLLLLLLLL AFFFF its impossible to learn it.

At this point i dont know what to do, i just keep dying over and over and over and over. I'm trying to not to give up, but holy sh*t this fight is atrocious.

Any tips are welcome i suppose.

8 heals+will power orbs+soul stones+the healing spirit for another orb and 30% health recovery. You have more than enough sustain.

Biggest tip anyone can have on this fight, is reflect in the first phase, he has a ton of openings if you do.

[RagnaXBL]

seemed hard at 1st but after my 1st clear i can beat him pretty consistently now. there are a lot more opening than you think. alot of people like to back away from the big explosions but if you stay in there and brink guard/dodge you can find some big damage windows

It IS the final boss. It should technically be the most difficult one right? Its not impossible as people have beaten it, so calling for nerfs across the board seems like you're just frustrated with getting beat.

If you want to ask for specific nerfs, is there one particular move that comes out too fast to adapt to? Bad hit detection?

[Noop]

It mostly comes down to learning all the different moves and parrying it. If you parry certain moves at the end of a combo you will stun the boss and get an opening to combo for free.

The boss has an insane amount of moves compared to most other bosses in other games so it will take longer to get it down.
Also parry the spears in the first phase cuz if you do there is no ground effect that you can randomly step into while comboing.

That Boss ist just stupid. I got every achievement in every Soulslike on the Market but in this game the achievement for a hard playthrough is impossible for me.

I hope there are enough people complaining and he get nerfed or I find a way to cheat or cheese him.

That fight is so ridiculously stupid that I don’t give a f if I’m cheating or not.

Pretty poor boss design!

consumable heal items (3 spirit for 50% health) --> more heals
Phase 3 is almost the same as phase 2 and you only have to brutal attack him 3 times.
Countering is very important; it drains most of his stamina -->brutal attack
Furthermore, it felt like he does a lot more brutal attacks in phase 3

After killing him the first time with consumables (3 spirit/rage to 50% health) i can relatively comfortably kill him quite fast (reflect into stunlock combo = phase done; done that with GS and later with DW, DW is much easier) -reflect either sword or wing attacks-

I think the boss is fine and i've beat him with spear with no items or anything fancy. You just need to stay persistent.

The third phase is relatively easy. He usually uses many attacks that you can counter (red indicator) and he takes a lot of posture damage. If you can make it to phase 3 a few times it's just a matter of time.

His attacks are well telegraphed. If one attack keeps getting you, just adapt and learn to deal with it.

Using that delayed defelct attack can be a game changer in phase one. He has two attacks that are relatively easy to learn. (I forgot the name of that defelct skill) it's not the usual red indicated counter.

The second hit of his very first attack, with which he seems to start the fight pretty much 100 % is easy to deflect.

Also the second hit after he slams down, is easy to deflect.

In phase 2 are a few high risk / high reward attacks. For example when he slams the ground with the big AOE attack. If you stay in his face and dodge the attack you will get a lot of hits in. Also that attack whe he loads up the sword with glowing power (three hit combo) he is open after that attack a long time.

It's by far the best fight in the game imho.

I actually stopped at Ozma, loved the game until that point but was getting frustrated so I'll just try again in a few months. Still my favourite souls game after ER but the constant status ailments were getting tedious

lv143 here, this boss is easy when you know what to do

first of all, learn to reflect, this is what make you win + the counter

you can be in p3 with full potion

if you using dw, thats how i beated it >

get full fury
go in the stairs near the entrance and pop any elemental on your weapon, i used poison
use the vitality sphere and finaly pop phantom dance and gale doom from the bloodthirsty set

enter in the fight, reflect first attaque, full swift attack, go in the back, full switf attack until last second of brutal attack

congratz, the boss just lost 80% hp

do the last 20%

second phase, reapply phantom dance+gale doom and consumable if you want

deflect or block until you need to counter strike, from there same technique, full swift attack, go behind him with zephyr.

guard/brink guard et deflect if you feel confident, when he is down, dont brutal attack, just heal yourself up, prepare yourself and then brutal attack him to go in p3

in p3, either way you deflect and you do as p1 or you guard until you can counter strike, zephyr and full swift attack

thats all you need to know
i beated this guy (yesterday) for 1h30 of tries

good luck

also, reflect is not a cheese, it ask skill and has tigh window

just switched my build for him, but now stuck because i want to reroll attributes .. and that would cost more lacrima than my total earnings for full NG ... just why?

can you not just change your stats by using a cheap item?

Just craft new items instead of re-rolling when it get too expensive. You should also not use Augment of Wisdom in NG0 unless absolutely necessary as this is one resource that is finite and can not be farmed repeatedly on NG0 or NG+.

I can tell you that lacrima costs are absolutely out of control in NG+ when you get to item level 250. I bloe through 32m lacrima trying to roll 2 pieces of gear, a weapon and gloves, and I still had to use 3 Augments otherwise I would use all my lacrima as still did not have new item to wear.

[Maso_sage-mode]

spend some time searching for the right build and farm the stuff needed for it. farm the bard set to get more lacrima and do some levels ( that helps a ton). I had all the upgrades from soulstones and the Phantom Ally maxed out ( does not make a huge difference tho). I did like 30 tries or something before searching for a good build, did a bit of research and practice and boom was gone in 2 tries. It is good to have stuff like this , phase progression was enjoyable for me.
