Stuck At Guardian Ape
Title says it all. I'm stuck on this guy. Stumped rather, since I know how to beat his first phase pretty easy (although I get greedy or just fail evading sometimes). His second phase is where I find myself uh.....well lost really. I can avoid all the attacks easy but the problem is I can't find a way to get a hit in besides MAYBE the screaming attack if I use the loaded umbrella.

Any tips? I have the basics of every tool besides the whistle, also Mortal Blade too. I also have 7 gourds but that only helps so much really.

I found that during 2nd phase the mose useful prosthetics are umbrella and spear.

Umbrella helps countering some of the more annoying attacks like his long range lounge. In fact its the optimal strategy. Normal deflection of that lounge knocks you back, so you can't counter attack, but umbrella completely nullifies knockback and you can immediately follow with umbrella slash dealing precious vitality damage.

However the loaded spear is 100% the counter-prosthetic to guardian ape.
Sometimes the ape will perform a powerful downward slash-slam - its telegraphed by ape standing up right and camera even follows it up in a cinematic way.
If you deflect that attack - the ape will stumble and full upon its knees. During this time you can stab a spear into its neck-hole and then pull it (press prosthetic button again), pulling out the centipide hiding inside. It deals CRAP ton of posture damage to the ape and shortens the fight by a lot.

For me, the second phase is kind of a gameplay shift from the first. I play really passive in the first phase, running around and chipping the ape with some slashes at the end of his attacks. But in the second phase, I find it pays off a lot to be in his face and learning to parry the large sword swipes. His swing speeds are a little weird like the Headless, so it can be hard to learn the timings, but he has quite a lot of downtime after combos so the closer you are, the better.

You'll still have to dodge the occasional perilous swipe but the closer you stay to him in phase 2 the easier I find him to be.

just run around and wait for moments where you can get 1-2 hits in. its takes a little bit longer to fight him this way instead of just learning the parrying of his attacks but it works everytime ive fought him. and when i say run around i literally mean run around lol

For the people that have given tips and strategies: Thank you so much already! I'm trying them to find out which suits me best, I probably will try to combine the three to get this kill! Y'all are life savers really! I need to get my resurrection power up again so the Broken Tooth is useful, wish me luck!

@the.sightless.jayfeather

1st phase you can use oil+flame vent to apply a dot that will constantly drain the boss health, firecrackers work too since it's a beast, be aggressive and keep the pressure too, in order to raise the posture bar (Ichimonji double is really good if you time it correctly) -> wait till the boss goes nuts and land on his @ss and roll left/right, use Ichimonji Double to punish, while also deflecting, poison resistance items could be nice if you mess up the fart escape :steambored:

2nd phase --> Pacify agent and/or the purple flask to counter/raise your terror resistance in case you f'.k up any scream's escape :bloodstain2: , use confetti to boost your health dmg (that items apply a bonus dmg no matter what, ofc it's more effective vs apparitions), like Artek already told you, Spear is good to pull out the worm after the telegraphed atk and quickly land 1 or 2 hits; rinse and repeat till death.

Thanks to Artek, Kak, Quirkyqu33fer, and Emrys for all your tips! I just beat the Guardian Ape as I type this!

My strategy for anyone who may also be stuck is this: For Phase 1, keep your distance during combos, stay close enough to avoid the ranged but punish three attacks. When he falls over and flails, get a hit or two in on the head - optional but if this isn't happening often then also throw your firecracker when it gets up again. When it does a rolling perilous, jump back and forward if you can but I sometimes would run back and diagonal, try to get a hit or two here as well. When it does a leap for a combo, get a hit or use firecracker. Main thing for me was hitting his side as he was stunned by the firecracker, 4 at minimum but if it's fully stunned by it then you get about 10 strikes in before it rolls back. I also used Nightjar Reversal when in the air by the grapple point as it roared.

Phase 2 is entirely as these wonderful people suggested. I used deflects on the main combo it would do, personally I learned to best deflect the first hit to trigger the main thing I punished: The overhead slam. It took a few tries but I figured out when to parry that final blow (Just before it lands, spam parry if you need but try to learn the timing for that). The perilous sweep you can supposedly jump on to also make the overhead slam combo but I never managed it and always just avoided it. If it dives to slash, jump at it for a little air slash but otherwise avoid it, you might be able to get a slash along the side if you're fast. The jumping stab (where it leaps into the air and does a perilous stabbing attack) I don't think can be countered, I just avoided it. The scream should be avoided but you can get a slash in too if you use umbrella or just wait it out. Overall, this phase should be trying to get that spear used on it, It will make the fight significantly faster than trying to chip away health, though if the posture is high enough then you TECHNICALLY can rush in to just swing a few times to get it done with but I personally just have a death wish so uh, I don't recommend it unless you're really confident.
