Demon Prince Strategy?

[SweetRoll]

Has anyone figured out any weakness or anything? Ive gone up against him with multiple 4 man groups but never got past even a quarter of his health. Pretty brutal even for dark souls.

Solo it. I'm not even joking.

I just stay in constant melee range so he would never use his magic attacks. Always dodge towards him when he sweeps so that you are underneath/behind him and just poke. His worst attacks are when you are at range, so dont let him fly away

This. The one thing to watch out for is his knockback that does no damage. That's your cue to get to the side of him and smash out a few charged RTs. Though once the first long attack is over, back up a bit.

He doesn't like bleed I know that much. Niether do the two demons. I went in with my bleed build (Same build I used for Ariandel) and he didn't like bleed.

So far this is what I've noticed as well. The laser... damn. However, even at close range he has this charged supernova thing that builds up and then fires large fireballs all over the place. I've seen him do it when three of us hugged him at the same time. Dunno...

i found bleed to work a little bit

Again, solo him. Stacking phantoms only serves to make him nigh impossible to stagger and buff his health and defence through the roof. With sufficient estus for phase two and a decent poise damage weapon you'll not have much trouble at all. Especially if you're on NG, since I just did it on NG+4.

Someone can help me in eight run to beat Demon Prince? Please, it's an hell.

[Rolling Couch Potato]

I can't guarantee if this is true but every time i killed demon from below first, the demon prince was always using 'armageddon' or whatever that spell is. If i killed demon of pain first then demon prince was using the 'laser' thing, which made him a lot easier.

Umm.... Sorry about the last boss in advance.

Also kill the demon in pain first, it gives the prince a laser which is easy to dodge

Just stay close to his face and roll under him. His move set is predictable.
When he jumps back to charge his laser, you have 2 options. If you predict it, just keep running towards him from the side and keep mashing R1. If you are too far away to close the distance, get to a mid/close range and roll over the first laser and then close the distance.
Easier with a shield and a fast spammable weapon. A heavy mace(or a greatsword/axe) staggers him more often though, so you can get that riposte.

You can summon the new NPC dude to help you out. He is pretty tanky.
