Feb 17th 2024. This comment was very helpful because it takes a few tries. You also have to capitalize on it really quick before she walks out of that spot.
Thank GOD! Idk why but once she staggers she does one swinging attack, but then goes back into just walking towards you. So not only did I have to trap her but I had to drink a flask after every stagger
This still works as of July 1st 2024! I was able to get it after only 5 or 6 tries. You really gotta wait for her to forward teleport into that pocket; her normal walking doesn't seem to get her caught into that spot. I kept dying mostly to side-rolling off the map while trying to bait her lol
Still works as of 10th july 2023. She's generally quite passive around this rock. Be careful: For me, after a visceral attack, she always tried to attack after standing up, so be sure to keep the pressure up at all times
Does not work anymore Edit: NVM YES IT DOES. Just keep trying and keep pushing against her, and when you break her stance and do that execution move, as SOON as she gets up wail in her, or R2 if you have the stamina. She’ll try to start attacking and can get loose if you don’t beat her back fast enough
Thank you so much for this. Managed to finish her on the third attempt using this trick, after yeeting myself off the cliff on my first and second attempt. You're a life saver
You know you've made a bad boss when even souls veterans are cheesing it every run. Like who though having 3 insta-kill moves with a floaty ass hit box was gonna be enjoyable?
Yeah those jump attacks are complete garbage because you can't dodge them. When they hit you they just drain your health. Imagine that, a souls game that punishes you for playing like you're supposed to. Shit like this completely goes against the entire souls series.
@EggsBenedict-te4nj i almost killed her fighting her str8 up w/ bloody slash AOW because if u catch her in mid air it will knock her down b4 she finishes the attack if u can time her perfectly and she'll land on her ass then u can get in maybe 1 or 2 cheap shots as she's getting back up
@jebril yea bro congratulations ur good idc i dnt have some elitist souls like complex i just wanted to beat elden ring after someone got it for me for christmas
Update JULY 12,2023 7:41 PM - works still. have to work a little at keeping Alecto in this position b/c if she gets on the other side of you, probably start attacking you. She may a few times but just heal up. Took about 6 times
Still works October 2024. I went in the crevice myself and waited for her dash attack. When she did, I jumped out and around her and spammed R1 until she died. Thanks once again, Sekiro Goru!
can confirm still works, had to wedge myself into the cheese spot, lure her there, hop out then quickly run into her. she can walk out of the cheese spot unless you body block her. i used the bubble in my flask so i could take at least 1 hit if i messed up
IT WORKS as of July 25, 2024 - the comments here helped a lot, you kind of stand at the top most corner of the rock until she rushes in and once she's there you have to push her in and keep slashing her otherwise she will jump back out. It takes a few tries it took me like 15 tries but I was able to do it.
Aaah thank you for this. Shortly before Alecto I fought Astel with less tries and that was at least epic fight to watch. Alecto was just ridiculous, happily cheesed her with this😀🙏🏻
Pretty hard to replicate, but still works latest patch. In general she doesn't like to attach when she's near that rock, so don't get too fixated on getting her stuck there. Just fight here there and its pretty easy already
Still works August 2024! Took me three tries to get her trapped but it does indeed work once she’s there. She dosent automatically get stuck there, once she’s in the corner you have to jump down and start attacking, and then she’ll just stand there. If you don’t do that she’ll jump out and start chasing you.
It works as well as it ever did, it's just hard to do. I just did it tonight, had also done it before over a year ago as the same level because I just rerolled my character. Two observations helped me: 1--The only way I can get her in there is to stand in the mouth of that little ledge behind the rock myself, then when she comes close to attack me I run counter clockwise, giving her space to replace me in the mouth on the ledge and then starting to push back into the ledge space by attacking. 2--I have to walk towards her nearly constantly to keep her in there. Same for me both times. I've seen vids of other people doing it without needing to walk like that. But I always need to. Probably something about your build/gear. I think that's the wrinkle that made her start fighting you back again. If you or anyone still need to do it, try the same thing again only this time, as soon as she gets back in that cleft be walking towards her whenever you're not actually swinging. It keeps her pushed back in there and keeps her from trying to attack.
Worked for me, thanks! What also helped was : if you stagger her, don't try to riposte because that might break her out of her passive state. Just wait for her to get back on her feet then continue with 'light' attacks.@@peterpalmadesso3706
August 6th, 2024, still works! Here's how it worked for me: 1. Start the fight. 2. Run halfway to the rock. 3a. Walk the rest of the way, keeping your back to Alecto. 3b. While you're walking, be sure to look behind you as you stay as far to the edge as you possibly can, while still staying on the main rock. 4. Trap her in the space- she doesn't stay there! You have to lock her in that space as soon as she enters it. Good luck, and happy Tiche-ing!
Been dying to this boss too often. Its not enough that they apply a gradual health burn and move at a jerky and hard to hit pace, they also have a tendency to lunge at you then grab you. You try and dodge but its already too late- But here comes the Guru to save my sorry ass with some of the finest cheese I have ever been blessed to witness. Worked second try, thank you kindly you magnigicent guru
for those struggling to get it working, just standing on top of the rock and poking her with thrusting attacks works as well. Most attacks she does will miss as she'll hit the rock or at best just stand there and strafe while you kill her. The only attacks you need to dodge are the jumping attacks and the blade projectiles. You can get an easy backstab after she does a jump attack which will most likely push her over into the cheese spot too.
Still works as of July 15th. Takes a few tries because it only works if Alecto teleports into the spot and doesn’t walk into it. After Alecto teleports make sure to hit them to get them stuck.
tried it once it worked but i thought i can back up a little bit then suddenly he moved then for the fifth time i realized i need to continuously hit him for him to not have a chance to move hahaha thanks for the cheese! one of your cheese fan here!
As of 11/14/23 this doesn’t work HOWEVER- this rock makes a GREAT spot to fight at (as long as you don’t fall off). The Moonveil Katana lets you spam her and makes the fight MUCH more manageable
7/17/24 works. just gotta bait her if you fail. and make sure you trap her by standing there or she will get out and attack. also don't visceral attack.... she tends to aggro. i got lucky by stun locking right before she attacked.
Thank you.... This works as of July 2023. I was already on my 20th attempt and couldn't even get to 50% health. This saved a lot of time. The best way to do it is by using a shield while standing on the stone and use it to block her attacks while changing directions so she falls to the cheese spot.
Still works as of Nov 15th 2023. If you can manage to get her in that exact spot in the video, she’s nearly perfectly passive. But ,like others have said, around the rocks in that area, she’s still very passive.
Still works as of August 1st took me 3 trys to get here try to block or doge her attacks if she somehow climbs up and lead em back to the rock best of luck fellow tarnished
Dec 2024 doesn’t work… she just runs right up onto the rock… she jumps up out of the crevice… I’ve fallen off the map like 10 times trying to bait her into that spot but she just immediately jumps out. Damn. I’m a glass cannon mage and she’s the worst match for me. She’s way too fast and does way too much damage. I’m like lvl 150 and I can barely touch her.
Still works as of June 23. 2024. Another comment said that standing in the crevice and waiting for him to follow you in and then jumping out of it works, and it indeed does.
Still works as of August 7, 2024. The way I was able to do it was putting myself in that space. Be careful not to fall. She is gonna try and jump on you cause she crazy like that. Quickly swap places with her and waaah-lah! You got her trapped.
September 19th 2024 still works. I just beat malenia 5th try and the Elden lord 1st try then decided to finish off the rest of the dungeons and I have been here for over an hour thank you so much this was agonizing
It didn't work for me initially but I got her into the corner using the rejection incantation a couple of times and then it worked flawlessly so if you guys are having difficulty setting it up, I suggest you try it. (July 20th 2024)
Literally just done this 28th June 2024, took 4 attempts getting them into the corner. You need to keep walking forward at them to stop them coming back out and if you use a critical hit on stagger be prepared to hit them back into the corner again straight away
Its absolutely ridiculous!! I got it down to 50% health without the cheese... i literally gave up after 30 attempts. Thank god for this video! The cheese does still work but very hard to get it right. Took me about 10 attempts after watching video cheers
Thank you. This is the first boss I've ever looked at for a cheese, and I've been through all others. Alectus is just cheap. Unlike the Blasphemous Blade, this is just straight up cheap and broken. Have a +10 Ghiza's Wheel and used the charged strong attack physick and wiped her out very quickly on NG+. Thanks dude!
I couldn't get this to work for some reason, but I finally managed to beat her by casting Rejection every time she got near, which knocks her down, allowing a jumping strike, and then repeat. It was a long battle but it worked!
Thanks a lot man, life saver. Still works latest patch. Also if you can stay in that area and fight she will end up accidentally jumping to that spot. Once she does just get in front of her and attack. Works perfectly
There is only ONE cheese to rule them all and make the mobs and bosses much less painful to deal with: the Mogh area bird and Albunauric farm. With the inexorable stacking of levels, acquiring everything in the game becomes so much easier. It’s one loophole to exploit and then the rest is just a function of becoming more over powered compared to your enemies.
This still works as of 9/7/2023. Though it can be a pain to bait or knock her into the spot without dying, and she can break free if you are not careful
I just did it, it took me something like 30 tries, about half an hour. I got her in there 2nd try, but she kept still attacking me. I got her in a few more times but she either walked past me or broke into attacks (not reposting.) The rest of the time she just killed me as I'm doing RL11 +3/+1 so she often one or two shots me. One time she started attacking I was using frost since she's not immune to that and started attacking immediately after recovering from proc. I started using troll's roar, once it knocked her back into position, but I didn't realize I needed to lock on to block her and she slipped by, unfortunately I couldn't knock her off, she just falls at the edge of the cliff and goes no further. At last I got her in there and whittled her down slowly to death! Thanks for this one!
Still works Jan 2024. Took a couple tries to get her in place, but eventually you'll get lucky and it'll spin into place. You can hop down onto the place she is supposed to be and roll forwards to catch her if you're struggling. Be careful if you're using a class that moves a lot when it swings it's weapon - it's possible to move too much and let her free. Single strikes work well.
tried a few times but i failed. i wanna say that the rock still is a good place even if they dont get stuck its a good place to hit them without them hitting back
So this kinda works and kinda doesnt. No, its not patched, if you get her there, she'll be passive... until shes not. Seems like you gotta get something to stunlock her and hope you have enough stamina to keep the hits going at a consistent pace.
I just beat this boss last night as a normal fight. It took me at least a dozen times, but the feeling of satisfaction after was so good. I'm glad I didn't see this before today, it would've been tempting to try probably after the first 10 or so deaths.
FELLAS still works, thanks for this, i was trying to beat this for like 4 hours, was either dying from the grab or the red bubble attack thing, thanks again for this!!
August 8, 2024 I can confirm this still works, but my god they've definitely added an AI Modifier to that area to try and fix it because she DOES NOT WANT TO STAY THERE. She will try any means necessary to not fall in that crevice. Attempting this took me around 15 tries before I managed to get it, and by got I only got it by sheer goddamn luck and she almost slipped out twice. SHE WILL GET IN A COUPLE HITS, DO NOT LET YOUR GUARD DOWN. MY ADVICE: - Standard sword, daggers, light weapons. Better if you have frost, magic, lightning, or fire affinities on them as she's weak to those. -SHIELD for the entry section to keep you alive during the process of trapping her, it can take some time. -Be patient. It seems FromSoft has tried their absolute damn hardest to patch this by adding some sort of AI modifier to this area specifically. She becomes a lot more aggressive when you get on those rocks, and she'll never stay in that area, if she slips into that crevice, GET IN THERE AND STAND IN FRONT OF HER. JUST STANDING IS ENOUGH TO STOP HER FROM MOVING.
Nice! Got it on my second try. Hit a small hiccup when I went for a riposte that brought her back to life for a second but all I needed to do was push her back an inch so she was in the sweet spot again. Thanks man!
Took quite a few tries, but this still works in July 2024. Once you get her locked in position, make sure you yourself don't move (don't use any attacks that cause your character to change position if you can help it). Just slowly and steadily whittle her HP down, she will remain stuck.
I found that if you get Alecto near the corner and are able to knock them back into the corner, that also works in freezing them without needing to deal with their bs.
The first time it took me like an hour to beat her. The second time I used this cheese and it took me twice as long. The third time I used the rock to slow her down rather than cheese her and it was first try. The cheese may not really work, but there was still valuable info that helped me with the fight, thanks.
THIS STILL WORKS AS OF JULY 28th 2024!!! It took a bit but I got it down after about 8 or 9 tries, I had to read some comments on standing a little outside the trap corner and dodging to the right once she goes in for the kill on a lunge attack. Then, just keep her in a forever loop of attacks and be wary of your stamina. Another thing, don’t use a critical attack when she’s downed, it’ll trigger her to swing at you when she gets back up, so just let her stand up after downing her, and keep showering her with blows till she’s defeated. I used the Nagakiba blade for this with a cheeky two time strike to finish the job.
Still works as of June 26th 2024, however if you stagger and repost her then it can just randomly stop working, also most every attack can and will knock you off
If you cant get here to go in the crevice, I recommend the following: •Moonveil Katana +8 or MAX •At least 45 Endurance and 45 Vigor (in case) •And prepare to do alot of running. Everytime you see the boss prepare its projectile attack, dodge it, use transcient moonlight and start running, if the boss does the same but its the maliketh-ish attack, make sure you watch her timing otherwise your dead. Wash rinse repeat
Omg dude thank you soo freaking much. I gave this boss 40 attempts and still couldn’t beat him and then I looked up the best way to beat him and I found your video. It helped me so much. Thank you. You’re a savior
Goddddd this cheese still works but if you dont get her set up perfectly then you still get fucked or fall off the cliff. But took me 10 odd tries but i finally got it thanks guru!
thank you bro. it still works. just stand in the little crevice and roll right when she runs and swings at you. now she will be close to the corner and you just keep hitting her. DO NOT hit her when she is knocked down or else she can get out. wait till after she gets back up to keep hitting her. good luck!
For those that got unlucky multiple times trying to cheese like me. Use the godskin peeler you get from the godskin apostle boss in that creepy dancing village at atlus plateau. Immediately he spawns, go close to him and give him some black flame(hold L2 for maximum damage) . It keeps him stunlock during its animation and deals insane damage to him, letting him know he is the one trapped here with you lol. Now it's just a game of rolling and waiting for him to come close to you so you can use it again. 5 of that and he is done for. My weapon was level 18, not sure if that matters

You just need like 12-15 million tries cuz that disgusting hoe avoid that crevice like it was lava... -.-
followed me first try there but he did some bs range shit attacks i had to roll before getting there... also he hit me once there :)
thank god for this. I was about to throw my controller with how broken the boss is. I hate fights where I have to chase the boss
I just with the game would let you use your mimic ash or summon for help. With these Evergaol boss fights.
Sounds like a skill issue to me
@@anthonyamadorriowhy are you here then
@@anthonyamadorrio pls share a video about how you beat this boss.
You aren't chasing the boss, the boss is chasing you

It’s not for me but maybe I’m just not getting lucky 😭
Never mind I had to go into the corner to bait her, roll past her, and hit her into the cheese spot for it to work
Took me a couple tries but I got it and now I gotta fight maliketh
She didn't stop moving for me but she did stop attacking as long as I was in the corner. Just had to slowly pick her off
thnx just completed it
Still works as of 10th july 2023.
She's generally quite passive around this rock.
Be careful: For me, after a visceral attack, she always tried to attack after standing up, so be sure to keep the pressure up at all times
Does not work anymore
Edit: NVM YES IT DOES. Just keep trying and keep pushing against her, and when you break her stance and do that execution move, as SOON as she gets up wail in her, or R2 if you have the stamina. She’ll try to start attacking and can get loose if you don’t beat her back fast enough
If you break her stance, don't go for the critical. That is what seems to trigger her attack again.
You know what works better? Malikths black blade. I just spamed destined death.
Thank you so much for this. Managed to finish her on the third attempt using this trick, after yeeting myself off the cliff on my first and second attempt. You're a life saver

Yeah, the cheese is harder to get to work than just beating her normally. I used the black blade.
I think they patched it, cause she just jumps out when I get her in she just jumped out EDIT: Nevermind I was on the wrong rock my bad
can confirm still works, had to wedge myself into the cheese spot, lure her there, hop out then quickly run into her. she can walk out of the cheese spot unless you body block her. i used the bubble in my flask so i could take at least 1 hit if i messed up

Been dying to this boss too often. Its not enough that they apply a gradual health burn and move at a jerky and hard to hit pace, they also have a tendency to lunge at you then grab you. You try and dodge but its already too late-
But here comes the Guru to save my sorry ass with some of the finest cheese I have ever been blessed to witness. Worked second try, thank you kindly you magnigicent guru
If you’re struggling on this boss, the key for me is sprint most of her combo, no need for too many rolls then one or two taps at the end
I did this by accident my first playthrough. Wasn’t even mad
for those struggling to get it working, just standing on top of the rock and poking her with thrusting attacks works as well. Most attacks she does will miss as she'll hit the rock or at best just stand there and strafe while you kill her. The only attacks you need to dodge are the jumping attacks and the blade projectiles. You can get an easy backstab after she does a jump attack which will most likely push her over into the cheese spot too.
This works PERFECTLY! I've used this exact cheese the last several times I killed her. Absolutely fantastic! Remember the Guru...

Bless you tarnished
I can't get it
@@rishigorai5564I can’t either
It works.. update: he's more aggro and will try to jump out.. try to keep him jammed up against the edge to make it work
He tries to come out a bit but just keep hammering him into that spot
Bruh, this saved my controller. Many thanks.
Just fighting around this rock made the fight easier
Still works as of August 7, 2024. The way I was able to do it was putting myself in that space. Be careful not to fall. She is gonna try and jump on you cause she crazy like that. Quickly swap places with her and waaah-lah! You got her trapped.
Thanks man you saved not me but my neighbors and my computer equipment
Hype for the dlc!
September 19th 2024 still works. I just beat malenia 5th try and the Elden lord 1st try then decided to finish off the rest of the dungeons and I have been here for over an hour thank you so much this was agonizing
For some reason, the cheese didn’t work, but it somehow ended up with me killing them tho so I’m not complaining lol
Took a couple try’s to get them stuck but this worked for me 2 minutes ago !
Cant believe you able to find a cheese at prison boss. WTH there's really nothing can stop Guru
It didn't work for me initially but I got her into the corner using the rejection incantation a couple of times and then it worked flawlessly so if you guys are having difficulty setting it up, I suggest you try it. (July 20th 2024)
Literally just done this 28th June 2024, took 4 attempts getting them into the corner. You need to keep walking forward at them to stop them coming back out and if you use a critical hit on stagger be prepared to hit them back into the corner again straight away
Its absolutely ridiculous!! I got it down to 50% health without the cheese... i literally gave up after 30 attempts. Thank god for this video! The cheese does still work but very hard to get it right. Took me about 10 attempts after watching video cheers
Thank you. This is the first boss I've ever looked at for a cheese, and I've been through all others. Alectus is just cheap. Unlike the Blasphemous Blade, this is just straight up cheap and broken. Have a +10 Ghiza's Wheel and used the charged strong attack physick and wiped her out very quickly on NG+. Thanks dude!
Still works as of Jun 3 2024. Did it first try. Make sure Dee and Endurance are upgraded for lots of light attacks otherwise she will overtake you.
She either keeps attacking me from there or runs through me like I am not even there. So as of now not working for me.
Oh, this is so stupid!
I love it!
I probably would be beaten her already if it weren’t for that infused ground stab
I couldn't get this to work for some reason, but I finally managed to beat her by casting Rejection every time she got near, which knocks her down, allowing a jumping strike, and then repeat. It was a long battle but it worked!
Thank you!!!
I was stuck there for nearly 2 hours
I can confirm that this still works as of 19 October 2024
Elden ring goru here
Thanks a lot man, life saver. Still works latest patch. Also if you can stay in that area and fight she will end up accidentally jumping to that spot. Once she does just get in front of her and attack. Works perfectly
There is only ONE cheese to rule them all and make the mobs and bosses much less painful to deal with: the Mogh area bird and Albunauric farm. With the inexorable stacking of levels, acquiring everything in the game becomes so much easier. It’s one loophole to exploit and then the rest is just a function of becoming more over powered compared to your enemies.
This still works as of 9/7/2023. Though it can be a pain to bait or knock her into the spot without dying, and she can break free if you are not careful
I just did it, it took me something like 30 tries, about half an hour. I got her in there 2nd try, but she kept still attacking me. I got her in a few more times but she either walked past me or broke into attacks (not reposting.) The rest of the time she just killed me as I'm doing RL11 +3/+1 so she often one or two shots me. One time she started attacking I was using frost since she's not immune to that and started attacking immediately after recovering from proc. I started using troll's roar, once it knocked her back into position, but I didn't realize I needed to lock on to block her and she slipped by, unfortunately I couldn't knock her off, she just falls at the edge of the cliff and goes no further. At last I got her in there and whittled her down slowly to death! Thanks for this one!
That's a old cheese. I beat her for the first time one year ago just like that. 😂
Works in February of 2024. Still took like 13 tries but this is definitely the way to go. Thanks.
doesn't work
Yes it does, I just used it
Still works Jan 2024. Took a couple tries to get her in place, but eventually you'll get lucky and it'll spin into place. You can hop down onto the place she is supposed to be and roll forwards to catch her if you're struggling. Be careful if you're using a class that moves a lot when it swings it's weapon - it's possible to move too much and let her free. Single strikes work well.
NOT WORKING 👎
I beat him as a mage, always running in a circle, waiting for him to retreat, and using Rock Sling.
Then git gud
It does work just did it April 4th
Just did it 5 minutes ago and worked excellently for me
tried a few times but i failed. i wanna say that the rock still is a good place even if they dont get stuck its a good place to hit them without them hitting back
I figured it out, just stand on the rock with a weapon that has the bloody slash ash of war and just use that over and over until dead
So this kinda works and kinda doesnt. No, its not patched, if you get her there, she'll be passive... until shes not. Seems like you gotta get something to stunlock her and hope you have enough stamina to keep the hits going at a consistent pace.
I just beat this boss last night as a normal fight. It took me at least a dozen times, but the feeling of satisfaction after was so good. I'm glad I didn't see this before today, it would've been tempting to try probably after the first 10 or so deaths.
FELLAS still works, thanks for this, i was trying to beat this for like 4 hours, was either dying from the grab or the red bubble attack thing, thanks again for this!!
Friday July 7th 2023 and still working!! It's just tricky! DONT give up tarnished!!😊
WOW! i did first try after an hour of tying to beat this boss on my rl1!
August 8, 2024 I can confirm this still works, but my god they've definitely added an AI Modifier to that area to try and fix it because she DOES NOT WANT TO STAY THERE. She will try any means necessary to not fall in that crevice. Attempting this took me around 15 tries before I managed to get it, and by got I only got it by sheer goddamn luck and she almost slipped out twice. SHE WILL GET IN A COUPLE HITS, DO NOT LET YOUR GUARD DOWN.
MY ADVICE:
- Standard sword, daggers, light weapons. Better if you have frost, magic, lightning, or fire affinities on them as she's weak to those.
-SHIELD for the entry section to keep you alive during the process of trapping her, it can take some time.
-Be patient. It seems FromSoft has tried their absolute damn hardest to patch this by adding some sort of AI modifier to this area specifically. She becomes a lot more aggressive when you get on those rocks, and she'll never stay in that area, if she slips into that crevice, GET IN THERE AND STAND IN FRONT OF HER. JUST STANDING IS ENOUGH TO STOP HER FROM MOVING.
it has been fixed but you can still corner her there and keep wailing with a heavier weapon to stagger and eventually kill
Thank you soo much man, this cheese really really worked as of 25th july, i recommend everyone to use this cheese before it gets patched up.
Nice! Got it on my second try. Hit a small hiccup when I went for a riposte that brought her back to life for a second but all I needed to do was push her back an inch so she was in the sweet spot again. Thanks man!
thanks guruuu beat her with ease with this cheese
Took quite a few tries, but this still works in July 2024.
Once you get her locked in position, make sure you yourself don't move (don't use any attacks that cause your character to change position if you can help it). Just slowly and steadily whittle her HP down, she will remain stuck.
I found that if you get Alecto near the corner and are able to knock them back into the corner, that also works in freezing them without needing to deal with their bs.
Still works in July 2024. Felt so cheap but it had to be done
The first time it took me like an hour to beat her. The second time I used this cheese and it took me twice as long. The third time I used the rock to slow her down rather than cheese her and it was first try. The cheese may not really work, but there was still valuable info that helped me with the fight, thanks.
THIS STILL WORKS AS OF JULY 28th 2024!!! It took a bit but I got it down after about 8 or 9 tries, I had to read some comments on standing a little outside the trap corner and dodging to the right once she goes in for the kill on a lunge attack. Then, just keep her in a forever loop of attacks and be wary of your stamina. Another thing, don’t use a critical attack when she’s downed, it’ll trigger her to swing at you when she gets back up, so just let her stand up after downing her, and keep showering her with blows till she’s defeated. I used the Nagakiba blade for this with a cheeky two time strike to finish the job.
just did it, took a couple of tries but it worked exactly as shown. thanks
Still works as of June 26th 2024, however if you stagger and repost her then it can just randomly stop working, also most every attack can and will knock you off
STILL WORKS!!! THANKS!!!
If you cant get here to go in the crevice, I recommend the following:
•Moonveil Katana +8 or MAX
•At least 45 Endurance and 45 Vigor (in case)
•And prepare to do alot of running.
Everytime you see the boss prepare its projectile attack, dodge it, use transcient moonlight and start running, if the boss does the same but its the maliketh-ish attack, make sure you watch her timing otherwise your dead. Wash rinse repeat
Omg dude thank you soo freaking much. I gave this boss 40 attempts and still couldn’t beat him and then I looked up the best way to beat him and I found your video. It helped me so much. Thank you. You’re a savior
yeah i hate him too, like almost beat him but didnt
Goddddd this cheese still works but if you dont get her set up perfectly then you still get fucked or fall off the cliff. But took me 10 odd tries but i finally got it thanks guru!
thank you bro. it still works. just stand in the little crevice and roll right when she runs and swings at you. now she will be close to the corner and you just keep hitting her. DO NOT hit her when she is knocked down or else she can get out. wait till after she gets back up to keep hitting her. good luck!
thank you!! still works at 08.25.23, on my first try
Still works as of July 17,2024. Did it on my 3rd try, she will strike back eventually, just have a good shield out after stunning her.
Still works as of patch 1.10.1 exactly as shown in vid. This helped me a lot idk why this boss has so much health and dances around you constantly
For those that got unlucky multiple times trying to cheese like me. Use the godskin peeler you get from the godskin apostle boss in that creepy dancing village at atlus plateau. Immediately he spawns, go close to him and give him some black flame(hold L2 for maximum damage) . It keeps him stunlock during its animation and deals insane damage to him, letting him know he is the one trapped here with you lol. Now it's just a game of rolling and waiting for him to come close to you so you can use it again. 5 of that and he is done for. My weapon was level 18, not sure if that matters
it worked first try thanks 🙏
If using bloodhound fang hit twice take a step back then straight back at him as well as using the focus option, worked for me
