any tips on demon of hatred?

[shan123]

so iv been trying to beat demon of hatred for the last -1 hr and Im kinda struggling to even get him down to his 2nd phase.
the attack that constantly gets me is when throws fire balls at you after dashing away,
avoiding his dash isnt that hard, I just jump left or right.
but most of the time I cant close the distance between the boss and myself which gets me hit.
deflecting and blocking still does dmg so im still unsure on how im saposed to counter some of his attacks when I am simply not right under him

more practice and patience

I heard to use mortal blade

You should be able to easily close the distance for fireball attack. If he uses the big sword attack jump sideways and grapple on him.

Good luck

I have the most success treating him like a Dark Souls 3 DLC boss. By positioning myself where his attacks will not be, and making use of what little i-frames the dash gives, while basically mashing R1 and using the hold-R1-press-L1 trick to sneak a deflection in mid-attack(without this input trick, attacking can lock you out of deflection until the attack animation completes; technically attack canceling a ghosted charged R1 input with higher priority mv input) if I'm in a bad position, it becomes a sort of DPS race.

In phase 2, you'll probably need to stop and watch his new attacks carefully, as there are tricks to each. He'll continue doing a slam from the sky, but can now create a ring of fire to trap you. Getting some staggers in from hitting him enough times will be useful for interrupting a deadly combination of these kinds of attacks, and for that, using Mortal Draw is recommended.

There is a specific prosthetic tool which can be used a couple of times in the fight to cause a "dazing" effect on him, and if you stack up Yashiriku with Divine Confetti and R1 the crap out of him, you'll nearly trivialize phase 1, as you'll be building a stagger up on top of this. Just don't get too greedy and be patient; he has a ton of health and you must perfect your offensive flow as well as learning where to be and how to move.

tl;dr Attack as often as you can find openings for; you need to be worried about five of his attacks more than the rest: Long arm slam+AOE, sky slam, cluster fireballs, flaming charge attack, and the arm whirlwind+ring of fire. Start deflecting after causing 25% vitality damage, but evade and strike until then.

don't look at hp and don't be greedy after first time i played him i thought he was super hard after playing on NG+ modes, gauntlet's and with chill pill he really isn't that bad also use umbrella prosthetic for some of his fireballs

In case you don't know the Finger Whistle prosthetic tool can stun him 3 times in the battle. Really useful when you need a burst of DPS.

Must use Malcontent version dropped from Shichimen in the cave where the double ape fight takes place - normal version doesn't do this to him

I tried using the finger whistle but it wasent working...

Jump backwards for the dash. Then just sprint towards him as soon as you can. If he's too far away, then run away from him instead. Worked for me every time. Harder than Isshin imo.

I dont want to chese the boss but I think jumping backwords is doing the trick.

Isshin second phase was much harder for me. It's easy to identify mistakes in demon fight and he was much more predictable.

I BEAT him lol
I got realy lucky in 3rd phase cuz he only did his spinny move once.

Because that person was incorrect: you have to use the fully upgraded version called "Malcontent" to have an effect on him. Either way congrats
