Scholar of the first sin is 20$ on psn right now if anyone hasn't played it yet.

In other news I just died to Taurus demon five times in a row because I kept reflexively hitting roll+right but instead of deftly sidestepping his attacks I did a fast roll off the side of the battlements

don't dodge into the charge.

just eating the hit works i think, vit depending.

ludwig's blade +6 with fire gems. maybe the beast cutter might work better for me cause i'm used to it now

doing nothing but l2 with ludwig's is a tried n true method of beating amygdala.

not dodging and not getting hit while you're attacking is also important cuz amygdala attacks several times in between idling.

it's mostly a puzzle fight in that ur not fighting amygdala, youre trying to do damage when things are safe in safe places or whatever.

its kinda boring but iprefer just whacking amygdala in between the legs while standing underneath her tail. porlbem is you'll still get hit in the first phase when she does the rage spaz thing there. but once she tears off her back arms you're entirely safe there (i think)

she's a fun fight but recognizing the bullshit is important!

i cant remember but i think the ludwig l2 is a vertical slash ... try that, its easy to hit it in the face with it. you can also hit its arms for slightly less dmg. IMO dont plink away at its legs like the other guy said, thats kind of goofy.

a lot of ppl do it vs the chalice version in the 3rd form cos all of its attacks can kill you in one hit and reach across the entire room, i dont think it looks cool though. but it does work, in the sense that wearing a clown suit in public works as clothing. :P

ive got a vid that sort of demonstrates it, its kind of sloppy since i was still pretty new to the game when i made it though.

she charges at the start and i even get hit by it but once youre next to her she doesnt do it.

it's hard to get excited about chalice bosses because instead of being more interesting levels and cool skull piles in rivers of blood after the boss, there's more chalice dungeon after the boss

idk if it's intentional or not, but it's always cool to see how giant monstrosities turn into cowering, pathetic creatures when you fight them a certain way. like how fighting amelia really just feels like beating the poo poo out of a puppy.

This is true. If you get to the side you'll be hit by her body and all her tendrils.

um, just getting hit by ebrietus charge full on kills u iirc. or it killed me newayz. sometimes it hits 2x . and if you survive you're probably stuck in between goofy wall geometry and ebriatas and the camera will spazz out evedn if u aren't on line

If you try to dodge and fail it will always one shot me basically because of counter damage but I think if you try to just move to side without dodging/rolling you will take less damage and get knocked over

yea, it was in dark souls as well. you can also hit enemies with the handle of a weapon instead of landing a proper hit and it does less damage too. try it out with the kirkhammer :P that was in dark souls too i think.
