Nameless King is way too hard considering you have to fight him right after King of the Storm
Any tips?

You both ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Come back when you have something constructive to add to the conversation.

OP, I'd recommend that you use lightning buffs for the King of the Storm phase, coupled with a long, vertically chopping weapon so that you don't whiff on the head as much. Hollowslayer is OK, but I'd actually recommend a Claymore over it because you can buff it. Note that at the start, he's either going to do a flying leap at you, or take a step back and then fly behind you. Obviously, don't get under him because he'll do that awful fire downpour attack. Learn to recognize the fire breath early and punish the hell out of it.

Once you get to the King proper, just don't be greedy. One attack at a time, focus on your dodging. Don't roll backwards;l he's got a football field's worth of reach and all you're doing is putting yourself out of range. He's weakest to dark and can be affected by bleed, so consider using Human Pine Resin or (if you're a faith build) Dorhy's Gnawing. Note that his second phase transition slam spawns a bunch of lightning orbs after a couple seconds, and that where he's standing is safe.

If you still struggle, I recommend you watch some SL1 fights with him. You can see how experienced players respond to and punish his attacks rather than just seeing tips as words on a page.

Use smaller, fast weapons and roll to his left side.

Irithyll Rapier, Irithyll Sword, Lothric Knight Sword, katanas, curved swords are all good.

Frost, Fire, Bleed and Dark are effective against him.

King of Storms is easy to kill with ranged attacks like bows.
You can even cheese Nameless King with a bow.

TC if you are interested in curved swords try Warden Twinblades and dual wield them.

That thing with right resin is almost unfair to use.

Stop spam Rolling and start reaction Rolling and learning attacks.
The only reason why namless is "hard" for soo many is because they spam roll when the Boss starts moving.
His attacks have long windup to catch those panic rolls

Depends on build. It's one of the easiest fights for me that's why I love helping people beat the ♥♥♥♥ out of him.

His dragon ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ out to lightning, Larry (nameless king) is weak af to dark.

Stop spam rolling, he telegraphs everything. Don't let the area size throw off how close/far away be is from you especially when he's floating around like a little fairy.

Git gud, casul

The best thing in dark souls is when u trying to beat a boss and after 20 deaths u finally find a way how to defeat him. You completely destroy your dark souls experience by asking how to kill the boss.

After you kill the flying version, try to stay away from him and hit him only when he do that piercing attack that is easy to dodge and hit him..... then go away again..... When he starts to use eletric bolts, then u need to get closer to him again.

That was the way I killed him the first time
