JoshVilla Posted August 24 Author Share Posted August 24 Currently in chapter 2. Really enjoying this so far. Combat is fun, bosses are a decent challenge without being too much (so far), and it's visually stunning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then use the immobilise and then Red Tides straight away. He should only have half health by then and use timed dodges to get him down to second phase. Second phase, timed dodges (quick succession for most of his attacks) then bait his lunge attack and get in a heavy attack. Once Immobilise and Red Tides are back up use them immediately. Try tweaking your points around if you're having issues with a particular boss. The game is very flexible when it comes to messing with your build. How I have complete numerous soulsliike games and yet I'm still stuck on this ###### boss? It's just ridiculous. I've swapped up my skills and changed stances and still getting screwed 2nd phase. This is not fun tbh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggled initially on the C2 final boss but once I tweaked the build and grinded an extra couple of levels they went down. After finding the layout and design of Chapter 1 to be a bit Cookie Cutter, Chapter 2 really kicks the game into gear with its areas and additional powers/items etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't really take too long and can make a huge difference. I found the second phase of that fight was all about baiting that one main thrust attack that he does from afar. Once you can see when he's going to do that, you can dodge and it leaves him open for a few attacks. Edited August 25 by Designer1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically I was just kinda getting into the swing of it and visitors show up so I had to turn it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically I was just kinda getting into the swing of it and visitors show up so I had to turn it off Similarly to what @Designer1 said above, I found that the best way to get past the second phase was to keep distance, be patient and just bait certain attacks that are easier to dodge. Also used Immobilize whenever I could. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted August 26 VT Supporter Share Posted August 26 I'm on Chapter 4 now and have just hit Level 80. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted August 26 VT Supporter Share Posted August 26 Final boss of Chapter 4 is a nightmare. However, it looks like (as with certain other bosses) there is a secret area in the level with a hidden boss who drops an item which helps immensely. I'll be giving that a go next time I'm on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted August 27 VT Supporter Share Posted August 27 (edited) Finished the main story. Going to have a look at the trophies for the Platinum and see if I want to have a crack at that. Unless there's some ridiculously obscure ones I probably will. Very good game and I'm glad I changed my mind about picking it up. Ps. After Chapter 4, it gets waaaay harder (Ken.gif).

dubbs Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Currently in chapter 2, world seems more open now so I'm guessing there will be more secret areas to discover with additional bosses. A few more mechanics have opened up so it looks like things are just getting started! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally got past him after what must have been 20 odd attempted at least. Similarly to the Whiteclad Noble, a lot of it was learning the moveset, being patient and not over committing when you get an opening. Use Immobilize when you can, and use Guangmou to get some poison damage in too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
