pick a direction and run at full tilt. try to remember the way he was facing when he went up in the air, and run the opposite direction. the trigger is being beneath him in a way that the NK can't target you with his spear, so you can also avoid being in that position and he'll do it less.

holy poo poo, i finally did the right stuff to get into moundmakers, and doing orb invasions is really fun. i'm looking forward to doing it while in farron, so i have my pick of three different phantoms to kill.

i'm also sticking at level 20, and a +1 raw longsword to try and get a few hits from watchdogs. i don't care about the achievement, so i won't be doing the full 30, but i'd still like to experience that gameplay a little bit.

idk if you want gamefaqs style advice, but i got pretty good at doing phase 1 since phase 2 owned me over and over again. if you'd like i could post some other tips i found helpful.

I just beat Phase 1 for the first time so I'm going to Burger King to celebrate. That flame breath tip is really helpful thank you

play with the camera unlocked during phase 1. in fact, play unlocked a lot in general if the situation calls for it, cos you can do a lot more things that arent possible while locked on, such as sprinting around to the backs of enemies and backstabbing them when normally they wont let you do that. and reacting to enemies running up behind you etc.

I beat King of the Storm with the Storm Ruler. It doesn't do any extra damage (even though it should, and with all giants too) but it still loving owned

It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.
Gundyr is owning me so hard but I feel like it's my favorite fight so far. Got him down to just a sliver of health and I hosed up and died this morning

oh yeah, i guess this has something to do with the way that lethal fall damage is handled. it's pretty funny either way:

Is there a restriction on level summoning if you put a password in? I would like to play with my friends who are just a little ways into the game, but if we can't coop with my main character, I'll have to make a new one and go fast.

On a related note: what's the recommended specs for Pyromancy/sword usage?

I was thinking I couldn't participate on my main cause I thought it was lvl 200 like my bloodborne character. My ds3 guy is 76 I think. Nice

Guy, password disables the level brackets and I think you get partially scaled

i like that one attack where he'll delay one of his strikes to gently caress with your timing, but the combo attacks aren't as cool as in gundyr's.

He took me a few tries, I ended up being extremely careful during his second form and backing off the second I saw him start that poo poo
