I don't blame you.

Holy hell. I'm at Seath now (or however you spell it). As a boss he seems really easy.

But HOW IN THE HELL are you supposed to cut off his tail?!?!? I hit his tail (yes the middle one) a few times when I destroy his invincibility thing. Beyond that though I don't have enough time from when he starts any attack to get back to his tail (mainly because I have to go around his other tails). By the time I get to the center tail I'm lucky if I get 1 swipe in before he starts the tail stomp or tail slap both of which take lots of stamina and life off.

So.....I die easily because I can't get to his tail quickly enough. I'm at like 16 equipment burden (out of 69 max equip) so I'm not over burden. So, how do I get to his tail quickly enough to hit it but not be in a prime position to get smacked around by his tail?

Can anyone give me some advice? Killing him seems super easy as I got him to half life trying to cut off one of his "side" appendages to make going to his tail easier without getting hit.

I don't want to go into details but I lost my data for Dark Souls...100+ hours down the drain....feels worse than dying

I am trying to kill the executioner and the dragon hunter. And all is ok until:
- I need to drink a flask or use a heal and then I am not sure if the action will start now, when I have a couple of seconds or in a couple of seconds when I don't have them anymore - it happens regularly.
- I am circling at some distance so that I have them both in my limited view, and suddenly I lose targeting and my character turns it's back on the plunging dragon slayer or his lightning shot.
- I am close the the lone executioner (after the other one is killed), he jumps to perform hes lightning enhanced ass slam, I want to roll away backward and roll forward instead, even though I was moving backwards initially OR I lose targeting, the character turns and takes the blast in the back - dead.

I need to go close since I use a shield and spear in this case, and all these things make the fight not fair, something this game was supposed to be. I don't like it right now.

My first save also had 100+ hours (maybe a bit more).

One day as I was logging on as usual, I was looking at skype as I was on the saved games menu. Still looking at the pc, I was pressing buttons on the ps3 controller thinking I was logging on. I was still a little distracted reading what my friend was typing then I looked back at the TV again. Noticed I was back at the main menu for some reason. I try to load my game again and saw that it was only giving me the option to start a new game.........then I realized what I had done -_______-

Bummer! I barely felt like playing afterwards : /

Hours later that night, my friend convinced me to just start fresh and exploit my way to where I was at on my first save. So I did that and duped souls to level up without shame.

Cutting off his tail is either really easy and or really hard, depending on how powerful your weapon is.

For starters, if you have armor/endurance/equip burden that enables you to run the fastest, then run and break the crystal thing behind him AS SOON as you walk through the fog door. If you're fast enough, he'll do his "pain" animation (the animation he does when you break the crystal) with his back to you (and hence his tail) so you can run in and get a good few swipes. This is where, if you have a strong weapon, you can cut it off before he even turns around to face you again. If not, well it gets a bit tedious from here. You'll have to keep running around him (I find the right side to be safer) to eventually get to the tail and take ONE swipe. Don't get greedy. Roll away immediately as most times he'll pound you with his tail. Rinse and repeat. Light armor really helps here as you can run faster to the tail. Also, sometimes you'll have to bait him into attacking so he can stop turning and you can run around even faster.

You can go all out and wear no armor just to get the tail and put it back on afterwards if you die. Remember you'll have to pillage the tail, before he dies I believe.

"fair" doesn't mean you need to go alone. I tried a few times on my own, and the other times (until I succeeded) I always summoned Solaire

I had one humanity, used it to turn human so I can sumon Solaire, and the whole fight was confusing and frustrating, since I died much faster than without him (didn't last too long to get a propper feeling for it).

I am close to doing it on my own, but the above things screw with my success.
