      I've only fought it once and it one shot killed me. So I went and farmed souls elsewhere. Now I'm level 41 and I'm heading back to give him another go. I wear heavy armor but everybody on CZcams fights completely naked, apparently? 😆

    Beat this guy on my first try with a +5 claymore and fire paper.....then found out after the fact that I could cut his tail off for a weapon. I spawned an NPC in that died immediately so the fight was way harder than it needed to be since the boss gets extra HP to compensate for the extra player. My new rule of thumb: If it has a tail, cut it off.

    Not sure if it was because the summon glitched the boss, but mine wasn't attacking, he was just sitting there not even aggroing the summon, then he would only do his jump attack. Got him on my first try. Figured that wasn't how his boss fight was. Feel kinda robbed tbh!

    To me is a little cringy that he uses one of the much weaker weapons in all of his videos. I currently have the black knight halberd and it cuts through absolutely everything. I was lucky enough to get it from the knight in Darkroot Basin and compared to the damage his straight sword does it’s just kinda sad but that’s just my personal feelings.

    • @Fextralife

      @thesignedpainter4178 Před 5 lety +2

      Fextralife I see, I’m less of one of those hardcore masochists that wear the calamity ring and use lower stats and weapons to challenge themselves. I’m more the person that likes progressing and getting stronger because it gives me a sense of fulfillment like I’m succeeding at a difficult task. Although my main goal for this play through is to collect all the dragon weapons. I just defeated the gaping dragon and got the dragon king greataxe so I’m on my way :)

    • @Fextralife
      @Fextralife  Před 5 lety +15

      Mainly what happened was that when we made the Dark Souls 3 videos, we made a good build and progressed it through the game, only to have people seeing the guides and thinking "you're overpowered!" because our stats were better optimized even at the same level. So for Dark Souls 1 we decided to focus on showcasing counters to the boss moves, and how a war of attrition works even with a bad build or sub-optimal gear.
