how do you die to micolash lmao

although now he is WAY more dangerous since they buffed the poo poo out of the tentacle attack

Maybe when he casts a call beyond in a tiny room? Just maybe.

It's because I always get super lazy and put too much distance between me and him in the second phase and die instantly to call beyond.

I died an embarrassing number of times on father g with the threaded cane last night. it's gonna take a while to get used to not being able to rally as hard as I can with strength weapons.

pretty much. hit and run works well in most cases especially with how much range the whip has

There's a lamp to the right of where you go to fight the first boss. Instead of going up the hill, go to the right and enter the little church-like area and there's a lamp right there.

i think i'll go get a +9 weapon before coming back to him . i wanna use the whirligig saw :-)

I.N.R.I
May 26, 2011
anyway, my tips so far would be , stay under him, and run to his side or behind him to heal. like he can do a horse kick but he doesnt do it often . if you run away from him he has an ebrietas type charge move and most of his swipes have big range.

You mostly wanna dodge ol' ludwig to the left in my experience, especially when he charges

And make sure to get the lamp right before him otherwise the boss run is super annoying

Also don't even try to dodge when he leaps up and disappears for a couple seconds. Just run in a direction and he'll miss you. If you dodge you might get hit in a counter-frame and get one-shot

the most important ludwig tip is after youve beaten him, make sure you get the boss weapon out of his head. you can potentially miss out on it if you dont do it asap

Can you get whirligig before Ludwig? I still have my +6 hammer and want to find a good DLC wep before I get too far. I found a boom hammer, hwhip sword and Hunter cutter or something

Yes, it's past the lamp to Ludwig's door's right. Go down the stairs near that lamp and follow the path

Unless you're married to using the cane for everything the saw makes this fight a lot more tenable. it's doable with the whip if you like a challenge though

tips on father g second form: back up and let him rage, he has big rest periods between tantrums
also you can make him stupid easy with the music box if you're a puss-puss

The threaded cane is still my favorite weapon even after the DLC, at least once you start getting lots of SKL and get some gems in it

it's my third character, used nothing but saw cleaver on my og and it's definitely going to be my go to for blasting through the game.

My second character used almost nothing but the hunter's axe, I really could do like 30 playthroughs of this game just to get a full run with all the weapons.
