By rvy Go To PostOld Nameless King is a hard dickhead. 2 phases too, fuck.
He has all the hallmarks of a shit DS2 boss. Too big for the game's camera to manage, autoaim melee attacks, phantom range and hitboxes on attacks. That said, once you get used to the delays his attacks have in the second phase, he becomes less bullshit.
The cherry on top is that you've really got no way to judge distance effectively because of how the arena floor is set up. There's no frame of reference or anything.
Just had an invader in Lothric Castle. Used a Seed to make the enemies hostile and just sat behind a pillar. Dude ran around the level getting bodied and cleared EVERYTHING out except 1 Spear knight outside the room i was in. He even ran into the room i was sitting in and just walked right past me, didn't even notice. 15 minutes of him doing all the work for me, even killed one of the Wyverns.
That lone spear knight killed him in one hit so i sprinted to his place of death and used the Applause emote
Still not had an invader, spend barely any time Embered
edit: may have had one in the Road of sacrifice, since I was fighting 2 red phantoms at once, and I know one of them is an AI enemy

By rvy Go To PostI tend to fight invaders myself, but a lot of dudes are susceptible to parrys.
I usually fight them, but i had a seed in my inventory. The urge to fuck with the guy was too great :)
Hitcher don't watch this PVP video, it'll spoil a few areas

By Hitch Go To Post1) Do I have to be embered to summon NPCs?No for both :D
2) Does failing to do that fuck up any quest lines?
From is learning finally
edit: BUT in the case of Sirris of the Sunless Realms, to complete her story you have to let HER summon you twice. And only once for Anri, but I don't recommend this path of her quest because it's well boring
Nah, fuck this dude. He's an optimal boss fight anyway. I'm not wasting more time with this, my weapon does 52 damage and is a lightning broadsword.
Anri is lovely though :(
She's the Coutinho of Dark Souls, the world was not meant for someone so beautiful

His weakness is dark.
I've been using fucking lightning weapons.
What is wrong with me.
So I made it through that horrible swamp area, just to realize the next area is even worse? Fuck the catacombs are horrible.
I don't think these dudes understand me. I'm sitting down as a summon waiting for them to summon another NPC, not for them to sit beside me.
Facismo is right, the camera is truly. truly awful for this boss.

the catacombs is tomb of giants tier
Helped some dude finally kill the Nameless King. I'm just figuring out attack patterns and whatever before I try it by myself
He looked happy afterwards.
But it's insane because my only Dark weapon, a Dark Spear +8, does 67 on the first hit. And I don't know this move set.
And I gotta farm large titanite shards.
And it's all useless because the weapon is shit and I don't have any more dark gems.

You don't have to use a Dark weapon btw! I downed him on my first try with my Dex character using the Sellsword Twinblades
like the dancer, his attack patterns are delayed and odd

better to slather a +whatever weapon in Human Jizz Resin instead of making it an actual Dark weapon fam.
I did the cunt on NG+ with a Refined estoc +10 doing 82 dmg a poke lol. Was using the great club and smashing him for around 400, but the weapon is too slow to manage that boss effectively.
By Yurt Go To PostYou don't have to use a Dark weapon btw! I downed him on my first try with my Dex character using the Sellsword TwinbladesBut I really feel like my good weapons are all underpowered for this human bean. I only deal decent damage if I strike him 3 or 4 times in succession. I mean, the dude is hard just by itself, without you having really shit gear. And this is my own doing because I have this stupid habit of really developing my sword into Raw Sword. It fucked me in DS 1 too. The I got some Refined crap, which is even worse than my Raw sword.

rvy m8 you can undo any shit you've done to a weapon if you have a shrivening stone. should have picked a couple up on your travels.
By Facism Go To Postrvy m8 you can undo any shit you've done to a weapon if you have a shrivening stone. should have picked a couple up on your travels.I have enough, but then I think of all the titante I've wasted improving any weapon and get upset :lol
I'll pick this up when I get home tonight. Gonna kill this fucker today.

shrivening stone doesn't remove the reinforcement level, only the infusion. A +10 Dark Spear will become a standard +10 Dark Spear after use.
By Facism Go To Postshrivening stone doesn't remove the reinforcement level, only the infusion. A +10 Dark Spear will become a standard +10 Dark Spear after use.Oh FFS. Right. I was talking about losing the gems. I don't have many except for Raw and shit like this.
By rvy Go To PostThink I got the first phase down, but 2nd phase is still fuckery.
I NEED MORE POWER
Yeah, exactly the same for me. I can get the first phase done (but lose about 6 of my estus) and then second phase does me after about 1/8th of its health
That's a lotta estus. I'm trying to bait him to do simple attacks so I stay beneath him in the 1st phase and wail on the head when he does his fire breath. And roll when he does his fire AoE.
2nd phase is ridiculous, not enough damage.
2nd phase is ridiculous, not enough damage.
The rings were the key to beating him on my pyro, so make sure you guys have the right ones equipped at the very least because they helped quite a bit. Go in Embered as well for that extra HP too (or use one mid fight if you're running outta HP...I did lol)
On my pyro I went in with THREE +damage rings (one of them reduced my damage absorption though). My Black Flames were doing 500-700, and I only had like...26 INT/25 FTH!!
on my Dex, I wouldn't recommend this tactic to anyone, but in general I was aggressive as fuck. I stayed most of the fight up his armpits and with no shield and just went to town on his back after rolling. I have a ludicrous amount of stamina (35ish) though so I could afford to fast-roll and dodge for hours :lol

By Hitch Go To PostHow many hours have you played across all saves?It's hard to tell because I leave my PS4 running all the time with the game on :lol I passed out in the morning at least twice too
the length encourages multiple playthroughs for sure, my 2nd character was just way too fun and painless, and it took less than 30 hours.
By Hitch Go To PostHow many hours have you played across all saves?
Played for just over 50, and I reckon I'm probably 75/80% through.
Rvy, got nowhere near that yet :lol. Need to get better at dodging the electric spear and fire for phase 1 and a whole lot better at dodging everything in phase 2.
By n8 Go To PostPlayed for just over 50, and I reckon I'm probably 75/80% through.Like Yurt says, the attacks are delayed so that's the most important thing. I tended to rotate to his left shoulder for some reason on 2nd phase, seemed to work. Try it some more times to get the patterns down. Took me like 4 days :lol

By n8 Go To PostPlayed for just over 50, and I reckon I'm probably 75/80% through.I lock the camera to dodge those in particular! It's all about timing your roll/i-frames
