  • Skip to 1:00 to find out how to easy it is to get the sword.
    Usually it takes forever to cut his tail and get the sword. My first time fighting Seath it took me about 8-10 minutes to get the sword because his cuttable tail kept clipping through the walls, making it impossible to slice off. Not anymore.
    Also I tried to just use my club to beat him but I dont think anyone would want to see 10+ minutes of me hacking and smacking and missing... so I kind of cheesed with the Shield.

      Mike Hock im gonna use this idea , what makes it more annoying is that the game creators made it that you have to do this to get the tail and yet they allow CLIPPING OF ALL THINGS to actually stop you from doing it in mid fight. Grimy as shit for them to do that.

      Pyromancy doesn't scale with stats in Dark Souls 1, it just scales with how upgraded the flame is.
      As you can probably imagine, pyromancy was OP for Soul Level 1 runs in Dark Souls 1.

  • @Nagittchi
    @Nagittchi  Před 12 lety +3

    @HippyManPL If you really want that achievement, I believe it's transferable between characters. Meaning, if you start a new character and fight NG Seath, cut off his tail there, it should count towards the rare weapons.

  • @McSquirly
    @McSquirly Před 11 lety +2

    It works like stun in the game in that you have to deliver as much damage in as short a time as possible. So either lots of attacks from a small weapon (bleed helps I think, though I'm not sure) or 2-3 heavy attacks from a heavy weapon.

    @sillentskills Před 12 lety +1

    @d123420
    You have to hit the very tip of his center-most tail for it to count against his tail health, just like Priscilla's. That is more than likely your problem. If you hit the base or anywhere else it only counts against his main health.
    If you can, just use a weapon with a large horizontal slice. I was using a Great Scythe+15 and it's two-handed R2 made sure I never missed the tip. I got it after 4 swings.

    I had that problem, you have to actually hit the tip. I noticed that when I was trying to cut it off, I was hitting too close to his body, hit the white part of his tail, the part with no crystals on it. Don't use those weak weapons, use something like the Black Knight GreatAxe, I know you probably got it already, but insight for other people.

  • @stephenlopez54
    @stephenlopez54 Před 11 lety

    You can indeed beat the whole game at SL1 once you are experienced enough. But also you can skip parts of the game in the beginning. For example, the first boss on the bridge, the moonlight butterfly in the forest, the caper demon in undead parish area, the gaping dragon in the depths can ALL be skipped. The only essential bosses are those required to ring the two bells (gargoyle and queelag) and all the lord soul bosses you offer to the altar (4 kings, seath the scaleless, nito, bed of chaos)

  • @darkwzrd4
    @darkwzrd4 Před 11 lety

    Crystal Ring Shield. It's a boss weapon. You need a +10 shield, Moonlight Butterfly Soul, and 5000 Souls. Also, can only be done with Giant Blacksmith in Anor Londo. Upgrades with Demon Titanite.

  • @LycanEnforcer

    I have the location memorized by feel, not by sight. I can find it myself, but not give directions. I found it by watching a video walk through. Eagle shield is a damn good piece of equipment. You can use it unupgraded to spar with Sif, and none of his ground attacks will break your block.

      +AShadowyKindaGuy In my experience, that's just a rumor and doesn't actually work. Seath seemed to have no problem tracking me when I used slumbering, No matter how hard I tried to avoid coming in physical contact with him (So as not to reveal my location) he still managed to turn in my general direction every time I tried to circle him. It doesn't work.

      I also heard a rumor that using the ring for silence would confuse seath. The reality is he knows where you are as soon as you touch him and other than that he seems to use attacks randomly. Which can make the whole experience less predictable.

    That shield was nerfed after patch 1.05 so it doesn't do that much damage anymore. It used to be based on your Right Hand weapons dmg. Now it just does a base of 150-200 damage so it is now useless.

    easiest way is to summon phantom(s) and have them wait at the begin so they spawn at seath's tail in the beginning of the boss battle, but this is much more precise

    I have literally tried 10 times to get this sword, I run his back middle tail down and I attack the tip of it and each time he is half health and still no sword. I don't get it.
