Any tips for Sister Friede SL1? BEATEN!

[BlooMood]

Having a rough time with her as every other attack is generally an instant death with her first phase being the only exception (It takes a WHOPPING two hits!)

The fight generally goes pretty well until phases 2-3 where things tend to go downhill with AoE attacks and such that one shot immediately. Any tips or tricks to soften the battle, weapon reccomendations, etc. that can help with her at SL1? (solo preferably although I'm probably going to get ol' uncle Gael to lend a hand.)

have you praised our grossly incandescent father yet?

its a very important part of this,as im sure you know

[BlooMood]

I have! However, I don't have the armor of the one who, bless their soul, never found their sun.

Perhaps that is the key to this. \ [T] /

I only clicked on this to see how fast someone said "git gud" I was not dissapointed

perhaps you are in need of some Jolly Co-operation,although sadly i myself cannot help,due to lacking the magical and mysterious means to access the Painted World of Ariandel,so perhaps a fellow warrior of sunlight can help one as noble as you

i tried to make this sound like something Solaire might say,if you havent noticed,not sure if i did good or not,cant tell

Phase 2 focus ariandel. (Dont backstab friede when she heals. Because ariandel might comr over and hit you) and phase 3 she has jump attack... just roll towards her when you're close to get behind her and backstab then run for you low hp life! And when she goes invis just chase her for a free backstab!

Give it enough time, you'll get the upper hand definitely.

I've got to thank you for the tip for phase 2. Makes that part go by really quickly even with the low damage output I have. I used to always try to focus her especially when she would go for a heal but her heals aren't really anything big. Phase 3 however is still tripping me up pretty badly and honestly, despite it being a small nit pick, I wish Gael had a visible health bar so I could see what his health looked like. A small thing but it would honestly help a lot instead of suddenly being surprised when he dies.

EDIT: Although, he is a free un-embered summon, so I suppose there has to be some downside to that.

You forgot a "g"

Grab it by the ♥♥♥♥♥...gud.

You know, on the opposite side to this, I'm actually glad I found a boss that still kicks me around. Apart from the Dancer, SL1 was kind of a cakewalk really.

Also I'm growing an appreciation for Friede's theme...mostly first phase but still.

On my own SL1/Weapons +0 run, I actually found Dancer to be easy (since I had already been acclimatized for the fight/phases on my prior SL12/Weapons +2 run).

The boss that took me a long time to kill was Champion Gundyr (for some odd reason), because of the inconsistent behaviour of the boss when he goes into Phase 2. I was unlucky enough to get chased with the charge and spin attack for 20 times consecutively in one of the fights. Was using Parry and Riposte strategy against Champion Gundyr.

And coming back to Friede, I still haven't killed her because Phase 3 requires me to have a phantom and switch to a knock_out/stagger weapon. Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the fight is a complete breeze for me, backstabs in Phase 1 and Phase 2 bleed on Ariandel (its quite easy to avoid Friede in the fight).

I also cannot summon Gael, because I already killed Gael (sign is not present).

Note: Against Friede at any phase, you can stop any of her attacks/movements by just throwing a knife or some bolt/arrow. You can make her stagger our of her current attacks (except 1), like the dangerous charging attack in Phase 3 where she would cast two black serpents.
