High Lord Wolnir ~ Lvl 35
Can anyone help me with him? I keep getting the worst RNG where he just doesn't want to stop crawling and spitting toxins.

Have you tried destroying the band on his right arm (your left) first? It makes the fight extremely easy. That's all you have to do. Destroy the 3 bands. It can be done without him crawling up, and without any skeletons spawning in.

Stands either next to his hand or slightly in front of them and he will only throw normal smash attacks.

right hand first, hiding near his hands also avoid the smog attack.

High Lord Wolnir, to my surprise, is a mixed bag lol. I always thought of him as extremely easy because I've always been able to beat him very quickly without him doing anything. I beat him on the first attempt on launch day via a similar method that Queen of the Gas Station proposed. Breaking the two bracelets on the right arm as fast as you can and then moving in for the bracelet on the right seems like the best strategy.

I didn't even know Wolnir could summon forth a sword or spawn skeletons (let alone the larger skeletons with curved blades) until I fought him for the fourth time on an alternate character. Not going to lie, I almost ate my words about this boss being extremely easy when I almost died from the skeletons and sword.

If you destroy the two bands on his right arm rather quickly, you can move to the left arm and should be able to hug the left hand throughout most of the fight. If Wolnir unleashes the deathly mist from his mouth, you should be safe if you stay by the left hand. From here on out, RNG takes the wheel. If you're fast enough to take down the last armband, you won't have to worry about anything too threatening.

If you hug the left hand, you only really have to worry about the crawling if you can handle the skeletons no problem. The only thing any of us can really say to help you out is to play it more safely and keep an eye out for when he initiates the crawl. Greediness will get you a mouthful of those deathly toxins. If he's pulling his left arm back into the deathly mist, try not to give into temptation and go for a swing. Attack when his arm moves further away. Good luck!

Nope that didn't work he just keeps spamming toxins.

What build are you using?
Ace of Fours May 14, 2016 @ 6:30pm 
I'm making this build a STR and DEX build, but right now I need to get to Irithyll with a relatively low level so I can kill the assassin AND heal the Dark Sigil without a massive price.

You'll have the easiest time with Wolnir if you can head over to Rosaria and make a pure vitality and str build with some stamina. Use a big meaty weapon too and upgrade it as much as possible.

there is a blind spot between the gas he spits and the gas behind him so you can destroy one of at least one of the bracelets. and when he crawls up dont run, use roll it is faster. and equip a fast weapon damage doesnt matter.
