Cuculus is either incompetent or has a death wish.

No matter what I did, she always ended up dying before the Old Demon King did. The closest she got to finishing the fight was croaking right as he released his flame and went into the third, weakened stage.

It sucks 'cause I just wanted the Spotted Whip and Cornyx's set. :/

[paaaseto]

atleast she has a cute name

[Shadowskyt]

Hmm, did you try a hard hitting weapon?

Cause my Cuculus had about 60% health left when I finished.

Then again, I did fight him at SL120, when I realized I had forgotten a boss battle.

Well you can get the cornyx's set by killing the pyro teacher but yeah, it's not preferable. She actually did ok for me though... Not in terms of damage, useless. But she lived.. reasonably well. I think I drew aggro more than she did. Maybe skull ring could help..

She have some stus, prob lem is when you get too far fro mboss to avoid the fire wave attack the stupid AI follow you instead of healing or attacking.

Well I feel you from a completionist's view but honestly the spotted whip is pretty bad.

Well if you already beat the boss wait til NG+ for another shot.

Black Hand Gotthard isn't very bright either.

Watched a buddy summon him onstream for the Pontiff, Gotthard used his ranged the entire time. My pal got killed, and while the YOU DIED text is appearing Gotthard decides to pull out his twinswords and go to town.

They did alright when I summoned her. Low dmg, but she didn't die and had most of the aggro (I only summoned her on my new mage build so I was pretty far away most of the fight)
