LegitHyperbole said: 3 certainly had some of the hardest bosses indeed. The nameless King was nearly as bad as the end boss of Shadow of the Erd Tree, almost. |
I've always thought him to the be the hardest boss in the series, but I've beaten him twice last week (DEX Build and Pyromancer Build) and realized his problem was mostly the shit camera in phase 1 that was taking away half of my eastus and leaving me without resources for phase 2
ER multiple fights against dragons made the fight much easier in phase 1. Rolling the right time became more intuitive, and hiding behind the dragon neck helped avoiding his flames
Second phase is harder. Nameless King hits hard as a truck, if you're meele I advice focusing more on protection talismans and try to swing to his back to get some damage. Greatswords works really nice, some greatsword attack animations literally saved me from being hit haha
If you're a caster, then it's an attraction battle which is much harder. As a Pyromancer I need to invest most of my eastus in HP instead of FP, and could only hit him once, almost never twice. Mastering Rolling was the way here. Good thing is he was weak to both Dark and Fire damage, so Pyromancer is like their natural counter. Spamm some Dark Fire Orb and his lifebar will drain quickly
