My brother on his quality Ludwig build destroyed the one reborn. My whip being just a setup tool for viscerals can't plunge attack the boss with any success, I can keel him over and/or whittle him down but I can't ever seem to land a V.Attack. then he usually does some bullshit sniper shot at an impossible angle after sweeping me :suicide:

Hug his side and hang out between his legs and just swing the cane in cane form. That's what I did and it worked.

the sign for whether or not you'll be able to beat Loarius is if you're able to backstab him before he casts his huge self-buff. If you can, you've pretty much won.

I once did over 12000 dmg with a charged Kirkhammer strike by hitting one of those weird centepedes' weak spot which looks like a flower while it was still in the ground. I was pretty flabbergasted.

Thank you for the tip! I was able to squish him this time!

im having a real hard time with logarious too. i feel like the timing for my pistol parry is just off enough to where it staggers him but i still catch a scythe hit

If he dashed at you in his second form, he usually follows up with an attack, so I find shooting him right after a dash works.

logarius is hard, you can use the boss arena to your advantage though. theres changes in elevation on both sides and so if you run away from him when youre getting hammered it can help break his line of sight and give you time to heal/pop a bone marrow ash/get ready for him to charge at you so you can parry it. keep moving and dont try to force openings just be patient

rom was a cool fight though, the hardest i'd say so far even though it was mostly about picking when and where to run in while dodging all the spiders and just hitting him with the smash attack

i gotta find the upper cathedral key and get grabbed by a hand still but i'm glad to say i'm done with that poo poo. my mind was blown by the fact that hypogean gaol no longer exists.

is there a ds2-like reason to keep the gems / relics that you get from bosses or should you break that poo poo open for the delicious blood gems inside?

Sharkopath
May 27, 2009

that fight and whole area was really cool, its small but theres a lot of secrets and nooks to poke around in

i think amygdala might have been weak to magic though? i enchanted my axe and when i hit it it would change textures like it was made of ice and it started moving real slow, odd.

amygdala is weak in general as long as you target the arms and head. possibly the easiest boss in the game, up there with the witches, micolash, and celestial emissary

I ended up looking up one thing (where to find a blood rock, and it turns out I was very close anyway) and now I'm pretty sure I'm on the final boss, and he's kicking my rear end. This game is loving sick, now that I've finished my first playthrough

I can consistently get him down to like 3 or 4 hits but the fight becomes very stressful bc every move he throws out can one shot me at that point. I'm going to beat him!!
