Nicholas fight help

[Glen]

Any tips that can help not being detected by Nicholas during the fight?
The most I manage to do is hit him with one wave of rats before he kills them, stealth didn't help me, neither did running around then hiding, guy's basically a torch. How do I kill him?

[Bankai9212]

same why you take out torches.

[Glen]

I know how to take his flames out, problem is always being spotted

[Bankai9212]

being spotted doesn't prevent you from sending rats at him. Once you remove the flame just swarm him with rats, you easily outrun him.

[Glen]

I'll try that, thanks
I managed to do that once before he lit his armor, it just gets difficult afterwards

[geraq]

just circle around one of the circular buildings, staying on the opposite side he currently is in. Eventually he will tire of following and claim something like "you are fast". That is the easiest way I found to sneak behind him and put out his flame sword.

The only issue I had here was I doused too many torches at the same time and lost my rats in one go, that breaks the game and you have to restart the chapter.

Other than that, it's pretty easy to break line of sight and hunker down with enough time to douse him and a torch. Second time around it only took about a minute or so to kill him.

Did that when I faced him never had that issue.

I actually got past it! Thanks though

Now it's the Vitalis fight

I've just rage quit this after trying for about an hour. I got to the last phase, but it feels impossible.

Why can't I extinguish Nicholas' fire after being spotted?? He suddenly becomes immune to the potion, just because he sees you??

And if you do manage to extinguish him, you have just a few seconds to get the rats to him before he lights himself again. I can barely bring up the menu thing to switch to Hugo's power in that time.

This is ruining the story for me.

EDIT: I finally beat him by running around putting out every light and he just happened to be next to the rats when I was able to extinguish him.

The game goes downhill from that point, so if you did rage quit you did yourself a favor.

It's more of a shift, the way the second half of the game goes I'm confused why people think the game is more then average.

[Glen]

The game itself is good but damn can the fights can be hard
Don't even get me about the Vitalis fight

[Bankai9212]

It's the only demanding aspect. Even then I only died to Vitalis due to being caught off guard.

[Glen]

I know how the attacks go I just only die in the last one

Get his back with extinguish sling shot.
Previously, He is slammed with piled bricks so sight is quite narrow.

When he's looking for you then get his back.
