Same. I am not that young anymore, I don't have the best reaction times and this boss jumps everywhere and does a ton of damage. I seem to tickle it instead. I wonder if I've missed some extremely vital upgrades.
@brendanfonts8192 It requires patience. A lot of the fights in this game err towards endurance. You often need more evasion than offence. The secret sauce is using your offence at the opportune time. If you don't do this, or aren't prepared to learn the boss sequences the game will smash you.
@@newtonslore nah bro this boss is just bs he constantly changes his patterns even when you attack after he whiffs a move he'll just spam something else
@cameroncurtis2135 You gotta stay back a little to read him. If you think he's tough, you're in for a shock. He's only a small skill check! If you are on console, make sure u r NOT on performance mode. The way they have implemented it has created input lag (ironic for the mode). This may be hurting some players with timing.
Stuck at him for atleast 100 tries now.. love the game, the graphics and the story.. but it's waaaay to hard for me as a casual gamer with kids.. i don't have time for this..
the problem is that there is no upgrade system beside the skills/abilities. you can't upgrade your gear and even the medicines in the shop are limited and go out of stock. there's no way to prepare your character for tough fights other than grinding sparks.
If you are on PS5, don't use performance mode right now. It has horrendous input lag. I switched to quality mode and I could instantly feel my dodge were happening correctly and I was drinking from my gourd on time when I hit LB. I know the frames will hurt your brain, but the input lag is a much bigger issue when fighting bosses like this guy.
man this game needs diffuclty settings they game maker did not consider it since its their first time - seriously this company did not consider casual gamers at all thinking all are pro hardcore gamers wtf
It was fun getting past wandering wight over like an hour, this is my first genuine wall. He is kicking my ass all over this little pond, I can't time the wide sweep he does right at ALL
@@TruGentleman78 I also notice some of the streamers are using ng+ skills .. for example the glowing staff is a higher level skill… no way in hell some level 11 can get those
@@5324TuiG glowing staff is from having all the same equipment. If you have the wolf mask head equipment on it won’t glow. You have to be wearing the full armor set we get from the store for the staff to glow. That’s what the 4 is that gets highlighted on your equipment screen. Having all 4 pieces of the set equipped. Took me a while to figure that out.
Game needs massive changes to be playable. Hit boxes, spells not working despite taking the cooldown, dodges not dodging. This game does not deserve the praise it’s getting. Horrible experience on PS5.
@vAnduCloudGaming just when you know he's about to throw it it simply dodge left or right so you can get closer to attack him. Backward work as well, but you'll lose the distance to attack him quickly
If anyone is still having trouble with this boss I can highly recommend using the Pillar Stance with a few of the early upgrades - especially for the 2nd phase of the fight. Just fire up a heavy attack and get up high to avoid his ground attacks and you can leap down and get a few valuable hits on him. Was really struggling with the 2nd phase before trying that.
@@therizshiz try to put all your acquired sparks on Smash. I somehow managed to defeat the first phase without being almost hit. I was about to finish him. I will update you later. Good luck!
@therizshiz I defeated him yesterday after the 30th attempt. It is about memorizing his moves. Every attempt will build on your practice, so you learn by time his next move. Dodge, dodge dodge, dodge, and then light hits. When he is far from you, charge the heavy attack and smash him when he comes closer. This technique will help you in both phases. Keep your transformation for the second phase. The first phase is easier than the second one. Be wise on how to use magic before you run out of mana. Good luck!
@therizshiz by the way, the upcoming bosses are way easier than this nasty one. After this one, I beat up about 7 bosses easier than him as I got stronger because of the items I acquired. The game is stunning! I am already addicted.
You can use smash stance at the begining, with Sprint & Charge enabled - while you run at him at the start keep charging - this takes away 25% of his health right away at the first attack (i have 3 Focus points), then immobilize & hit wandering wight - back up & thenfollow with the the fire guy. You have already got him under 50% by this time. In second Phase i feel pillar stance might do great - have been struggling with it.
Nothing against the OP of this video, but Pillar stance also requires a lot of practice. This boss doesn't just do ground level horizontal attack, but vertical attack as well. You don't just climb the pillar and enjoy invincibility. His vertical splash attack is easy to avoid without having to sprint or dodge, just kite left or right. But while on pillar, you will definitely get hit because you dont have enough time to cancel the pillar, drop down, and run. Another thing to beware, it does take time to climb the pillar. Some of his ground attack still hits you at 1st and second pillar. And worst, when you have max focus points and want to unleash on the boss. A lot of time the boss moves so fast you end up wasting your focus point for nothing.
@@Hazel-l6p you got using stances completely wrong, charge the pillar with light attacks, get the focus levels ready so that when you use pillar stance you are already high up in the air
I was on 30+ attempts, but this one worked like a charm. In his snake-like form he is a nightmare trying to chase. The Pillar is like a cheat code because going in pillar makes him register it as an attack so he will come at you at full force. Thanks brother.
@@khaledelremaly692 yea, took me like 10-15 tries. Use thrust stance, that was by far the easiest for me. Max out your stamina, dodge and roll upgrades. Keep your distance and immobilise him for cheeky attacks. In his 2nd stage use the red tides transformation and then just keep close hitting him with combos.
Died so many times, but I found another way. Using smash stance, run around while charging heavy attack to lvl 3 & avoiding his attacks. Time it well and it does alot of damage, I hit him with a couple of lvl3 heavy attacks and phase one was done without needing to heal. When second transformation comes you can do a similar run to avoid & lvl3 heavy attack, while using the other spells to get more hits in. Using immobilize with a couple times will be your best bet.
You can pretty much always land a hard 2 or 3 focus heavy attach while charging at the begging of the fight, then immobilize to get some extra hp off at the start.
@erichbachman7363 that's what I came up with doing too. Take a big chunk especially when you have 3 focus points. It's just tought to find a way to attack him after, since he keeps going with the attacks
Ngl, I beat this guy solely based on rage fueled concentration after about a dozen losses. I’ve never meant the words, “Yeah, F YOU!” more passionately than when seeing him fall. 🗣️
hahahaha bro i just read this and feel the same way. I was like i am not going to do any changes other than rage destroy this MF. I literally gave 2 middle fingers when i killed him. NGL had a little bit of a heart attack when we was still talking shit. Probably around 10th try i got it. No pillar stance nothing, just dodge and pray! :D
I remember fighting him, at some point I entered the zone, pure concentration. I found it funny because you’re the reincarnated fighting Buddha but in that moment I genuinely felt like I had to get enlightened irl to beat the boss. Now I’m just stuck on the bear, but I haven’t fought him for long yet
@@celeste1461 I got stuck on him for awhile too. Same story tho. My rage overtook his finally. But, now I’m stuck on the Tiger Vanguard. I’ve came so close but no cigar. Not yet. He’s gotta go tho. Just working out how. Lol.
@@aleksanderbreeding6120 yeah, I just beat him today. He is pretty hard. It took me specifically an hour and 1 minute to beat him. I learned that if uninterrupted he will always start the fight the same, this is good because if you can master his first few attacks you may be able to take an 8th or so of his health. I usually try to save my healing and mana for later in the battle, his first move set is very much trying to just charge at you with different combos, then he has a combo where he cuts you with a sword, the third strike is a feint though, so say mentally “dodge, dodge, wait, dodge” that thought process what how I did it. When he is about 60% low he switches up with not the invisible move. He also more frequently uses the “rock solid” technique. He will have some delayed strikes, so try to get a grasp for indicators. When he goes far away he will shoot blood blades, make a blood tornado, or make a flash step instant slash which does major damage. I used the poise. Serpent spirit as I liked the damage over time aspect, but there may be better alternatives. With spells I used immobilization and cloud step.but just try to grasp his indicators and you can time it based on a rhythm scheme in your head, that’s how I did it. Then enter the zone and go emotionally numb, we need pure logical thought process, no need for emotions in the fight. That’s how I beat him after an hour.
@@charlesmorgan2399 keep your mana for the second phase. Dodge, dodge, dodge, dodge, and hit. Practice this technique. Put all your sparks in the smash hit. You will be more powerful.

This helped me quite a bit! I was overlooking the pillar stance cause I didn't care much for it but it did help avoiding the hits in 2nd round.. thanks
Trick with this boss is just timing your duck moves. Whenever he misses you make sure you slam him. Once you do, freeze him so you additional get more hits whist using the spirit hits. The snake part is also about dodging, when he lunges, dodge and hit him constantly.
This review is about the pillar stance. Other reviews are about smash stance, and still others recommend thrust stance. I'm enjoying the variety in this game and the lack of difficulty setting!
I love how this game has bosses people struggle at but also excel at. I defeated this guy in 2 tries, but the bear boss after this is taking me forever.
I got him close but after like 3 days and 8 or so hours stuck at this guy. no strategy is helping me close out the battle. no setup either. I give up. at this rate I'll need about 2-300 hours to beat it. just isnt worth the frustration
No I hav not. I kinda gave up. I want blame controller but I can’t beat first giant in SEKIRO SHADOWS DIE TWICE IM OLD bad eye sight. Had a stroke in visual lobe. So I hav blind spots. I miss stuff. Cod easy for me to play. The Witcher too. That’s so hard for me too
Let’s be honest the PS5 version isn’t responsive enough for the combat the game is trying to accomplish I’m hoping that devs take a note from Spider-Man 2 and add skip scene or boss options because I feel like their holding us to a standard your game can’t handle I have to calculate my moves his moves and the button lag then to hear this punk water snake man talk mess is diabolical
thanks ! Very helpful! I got him! Very helpful in second phase! I wanted to walk away .The longer I kept going back the better I got at his moves and mine..
It actually took me a week. At some point, I knew all of his moves-that’s probably the key. I was able to beat him in the first phase using only one spell and had all my transformations left for the second phase.
For me personally, the first stage is pretty much always doable, and in the second phase i just always wait for the dash attack, dodge and get a few hits in, dodge away and wait for the next dash. it might take a while, but the fights definetely doable if you dont rush the fight too much and play a bit more passive.
This boss was a MOTHER FKR!! First time I put him down, I was SUPER STOKED!!! Imagine my surprise when he stood back up like, Oh yeah.. Ok so we will do this fr this time... like WTF..
@@ryulanda9399 bruh I was looking up how to get a refund and I was about to get off the game and beat him lol I didn't do what this guy did in the video not saying it doesn't work I switch mine back to smash and when you do your last moves if the combo make sure if he moves aim that last combo at him
Not gonna lie, this game is dumb, I've seen some others agree with me in the tracking it's dog shit, I cannot hit him with my heavy but he can track my every move, mechanics like that are what kill games for reolayablity fix it or refund me my 70$
SPOILERS! How come you are level 19? I am level 13 or 14 atm and I have already reached this boss. I have already killed all smaller bosses (monk, big head, budget wizard, frog), I've killed the big dog boss too obviously, I've wiped all the what does the fox say dudes as well as snakes, including skeletons. Have I missed some chunk of the level or something? There's no map, so there's a chance, but I am sure I wiped everything on my way and I am not even close to 19. This riverside Marilyn Manson is serving my arse on a silver plate, a bit frustrating, can't get past 50% of his health on a second stage.
@@justinrichards3632 Yeah, I got to level 16 on the Snake Trail, tried him 12 times, still couldn't do it, went to sleep. The next day woke up and killed him the 1st try. Think it just needs to click and you'll get him. Good luck!
Use strong stance for first phase, I combo stunned him multiple times with light attack. For second phase the strategy in the video is perfect, except try and save your transformation when his health gets low.
So far, second hardest boss I’ve ever fought. First was Margit the fell omen from Elden ring (if u played Elden ring then u know what I’m talking about)
1. just my build and setup with my attributes. also have a curios armor piece witch increases critical hit chance 2.Trailblazer's Scarlet Gourd is how you heal you get it from the deluxe edition pre order th-cam.com/video/8H14sA1TuBA/w-d-xo.html

When second transformation comes you can do a similar run to avoid & lvl3 heavy attack, while using the other spells to get more hits in. Using immobilize with a couple times will be your best bet.

No I hav not. I kinda gave up. I want blame controller but I can’t beat first giant in SEKIRO SHADOWS DIE TWICE IM OLD bad eye sight. Had a stroke in visual lobe. So I hav blind spots. I miss stuff. Cod easy for me to play. The Witcher too. That’s so hard for me too
Thanks bro😭 you don’t know how long i’ve been stuck on this boss
Let’s be honest the PS5 version isn’t responsive enough for the combat the game is trying to accomplish I’m hoping that devs take a note from Spider-Man 2 and add skip scene or boss options because I feel like their holding us to a standard your game can’t handle I have to calculate my moves his moves and the button lag then to hear this punk water snake man talk mess is diabolical
Tried this build and killed him first go. Thank you very much 😊
😃
been stuck on this guy for 2 days and beat him thanks to this video
Thank you. This built helped. Was stuck there for quite some time.
Thanks for the tips. They worked second try.
Best guide ever. That stance makes alot of difference
bro said it’s a pretty easy fight😭☠️🙏 bro this boss is stronger than any boss in elden ring
Bro thank you so much this build absolutely saved me
Literally beat him first try after using your build, good shit
First try with your build helped thanks man
I’ve watched so many of ur guys vids on this. It doesn’t matter how I do it Stan max piller stance maxed
Thank you bro!! Worked my first try 🙏🏿
Nice work!
thanks ! Very helpful! I got him! Very helpful in second phase! I wanted to walk away .The longer I kept going back the better I got at his moves and mine..
It actually took me a week. At some point, I knew all of his moves-that’s probably the key. I was able to beat him in the first phase using only one spell and had all my transformations left for the second phase.
Thanks! I killed it after 30 tries :D
For me personally, the first stage is pretty much always doable, and in the second phase i just always wait for the dash attack, dodge and get a few hits in, dodge away and wait for the next dash. it might take a while, but the fights definetely doable if you dont rush the fight too much and play a bit more passive.
This boss was a MOTHER FKR!! First time I put him down, I was SUPER STOKED!!! Imagine my surprise when he stood back up like, Oh yeah.. Ok so we will do this fr this time... like WTF..
I fucking hate this boss, about to rage quit this bs game 😂
Level up, be more aggressive. This is isn't a game about waiting for specific small hits, if you don't combo him you won't get no damage in
@@frenchblooit's impossible to even complete a combo with taking a lot of damage
@@ryulanda9399 bruh I was looking up how to get a refund and I was about to get off the game and beat him lol I didn't do what this guy did in the video not saying it doesn't work I switch mine back to smash and when you do your last moves if the combo make sure if he moves aim that last combo at him
@@umarpin8809 be ready because quite a few bosses offer much more of a challenge than this guy...
@@frenchbloo damnn
Bro, am on level 34 and cant beat this sucker
35th attempt at Level 22 beat him. But this sucked some fun out of the game. Challenge is good, repetition not so much.
THANKS FOR TIPS BRO...!! I tried 50x before but after try your build only takes me 3 times to beat him... ✌🏻
This boss hard as nails he a ball breaker n I been killing bosses since Atari this one has the cake 🎂
Bro I've watched like 6 videos on this. Yours was the only video that got me through this boss. It only took 2 tries. Thanks so much!
Glad I could help
No words bro thanks just whooped this young man
Not gonna lie, this game is dumb, I've seen some others agree with me in the tracking it's dog shit, I cannot hit him with my heavy but he can track my every move, mechanics like that are what kill games for reolayablity fix it or refund me my 70$
And when I mean I cannot hit with my heavy as in it ALWAYS LANDS a singular inch in front of the enemy or boss, stationary or moving it's terrible
This boss was tough, that javelin through was brutal. Harder than the bear boss by a lot. I had to change my stats to beat him
Thank you so much!
SPOILERS! How come you are level 19? I am level 13 or 14 atm and I have already reached this boss. I have already killed all smaller bosses (monk, big head, budget wizard, frog), I've killed the big dog boss too obviously, I've wiped all the what does the fox say dudes as well as snakes, including skeletons. Have I missed some chunk of the level or something? There's no map, so there's a chance, but I am sure I wiped everything on my way and I am not even close to 19. This riverside Marilyn Manson is serving my arse on a silver plate, a bit frustrating, can't get past 50% of his health on a second stage.
Just keep going back and killing anything that moves. It will take a while but it`s the only way to get those skill points.
Best early farm is snake trail kill the snake guys their worth 175xp I'm lvl 20 haven't beat him yet but only tried 3 times so far
@@justinrichards3632 Yeah, I got to level 16 on the Snake Trail, tried him 12 times, still couldn't do it, went to sleep. The next day woke up and killed him the 1st try. Think it just needs to click and you'll get him. Good luck!
@@diablodima I'm level 52 still didn't finish chapter 1 I do farming for 16hours in chapter 1😁😁
just beat him today his second form was kicking my ass the next boss is hard asf too
Use strong stance for first phase, I combo stunned him multiple times with light attack. For second phase the strategy in the video is perfect, except try and save your transformation when his health gets low.
I found baiting the long distance stab attack the easiest way to beat this guy. Easy to roll through and can snag a couple of hits!
Sweet thanks ! Didn’t know you could switch stance lol
Holy shit dude thank you i finally beat it my god i was losing my shit
How do you heal your whole bar at the start? Mine only does little by little each time I drink the gourd.
So far, second hardest boss I’ve ever fought. First was Margit the fell omen from Elden ring (if u played Elden ring then u know what I’m talking about)
There is no blocking on this stupid ass game.
Hardest boss I ever fought: Hello how are you?
Ps5 input lag: Oh, I'm great how about yourself?
Goated I was stuck on him for 3 hours
I have two questions. How do you do so much damage with the light attack, and how do you restore so much health with a sip?
1. just my build and setup with my attributes. also have a curios armor piece witch increases critical hit chance
2.Trailblazer's Scarlet Gourd is how you heal you get it from the deluxe edition pre order
