Great comment from Olas-GE that says the Wandering Wigt stops the drum waves. I wonder if a fully charged smash would too, or attacking out of a cloud step
I agree, I didn't know about jumping on the rocks for the one attack and have been going insane trying to jump over those waves, because I can't get the character to jump quickly enough. I get hit once, become stun locked, then die. Over and over again...
I stood on top of the rocks and still got hit by the shockwaves. There's also the problem of him usually destroying most or all of the rocks so even if it did work, I'm shit out of luck anyway. This is truly a bullshit boss fight seemingly designed by someone who never did a test battle against him.
@TheSilentCheetah it really is an absolute pain in the ass. I agree whoever designed that dumb drumming move didn't test it. My tip is to just keep him on one side of the arena so that you can preserve some rocks for that undodgeable attack and when he starts sucking in electricity run for the rocks basically. You just gotta get lucky sadly
THE ROCKS! STAND ON THE ROCKS! Dude this boss has been kicking my ass for over half an hour because of that move! id been using them as shields from his attacks 😂😂 did it first time after watching this! Thankyou bro!
You forgot his most annoying move. Where he conjures a dust storm around him sucking you in and then unleashes an AOE move that encompasses the entire arena sucking you in and half you health bar along with it
@@randeypeterson6046 OMG. Dude, I love you!!! You're a lifesaver. You've definitely saved one life. Thank you so much!!! At last, I've conquered that dreadful boss.
Yeah, he is super easy except for those rings.. I die every time because there are no more rock. First I thought I could run to the stairs but that was an invisible wall. Need to scout around if there are any rocks that don’t break anywhere at all.
Thank you VERY much. I am not into souls games, I've tried a few and I just don't like them.. And now I am older and I just usually don't like insane difficulty just to be punishing so people can brag about how good they are on the internet. But I love this game, although this boss was driving me INSANE. And then I watched this video, and I beat him 3x later. Whew...
I appreciate this comment a lot. I'm glad you're enjoying this game. I'm glad this helped! some boss battles are challenging and fun and some challenging and not fun.
@@TheKozMLG lmao I was Sooo pissed about this boss, finally beat him thanks to the help, and then I just was stuck on the ice dragon, that thing SUCKS. Like bro, there is NO reason his hit window is THAT small, I was directly smacking the crap out of him, and it did nothing!!! Lol. Beat him though, but Jesus... Also the Pagoda realm bloooooows
"Shoo fly" "Twirly bird" "Ground Runner" "Death by a thousand shocks" lol. I'm loving these illustrative names you come up with for a boss's attacks. Seems to have some mnemonic value when it comes to learning moves and knowing when to do what. Helpful video - thanks, Koz
I’m here after trying to beat this POS for 5 hours. I’ve already busted one controller just pushing buttons so hard they’re about to come out of the chassis. At my wits end.
@@TheKozMLG Beat him! Finally! I kept having no rock to jump on during the 2nd electric pulse waves stage. That’s really the cheapest part of this boss. I kept getting him down to 3/4 with plenty of Gourd uses but running out of rocks! Talk about stressful! Thanks dude 😎
Thank you so much man. The rock worked great but only once. I actually got the dodging down for that attack but still, I died 10 times before your video and beat hm after the video in 3 attempts.
The rock works- except when it's just outside the zone. Very frustrating to die because the rock is just outside the invisible wall so you can't jump on it. Dodging the waves is weird, I have to Dodge to the side rather than through the waves.
I found by charging my focus to max as I'm running in was the best start, he's stunned, then hit him with Wight move and then immobilize him, use pluck of many and then transform and overwhelm him with damage. Wait for his shock pulse move and run to the rock. Wait and charge your focus back up and as soon as he finishes charge back in and hit with the heavy attack.
For anyone struggling with the incredibly poor game design of the shock rings and have no rocks to stand on, try running to the far end of wherever he is when he does that and jump over the first then dodge left or right on the second wave. I’ve found that you can recover from that more quickly. Don’t roll forward into it.
He kept destroying the rocks anyway so I learned the rythm of the lightning rings (usually it’s jump-jump-roll) 😅 the worst move he does is when he sucks you in with wind then explode in lightning
I ended up using the big rock head dude to tank the rings and then when he next did his ring attach (usually happened twice for me each time I fought) I used the R2 left analogue stick special ability (not the fire one but the second one) which stunned him out of that move..
Yes last tip save me... and my controller before I threw it against the wall in a rage. Worst of all is the input lag between jumps - after landing you have to wait about 1s to jump again, incredibly annoying. I don't know if this is intentional or overlooked.
You left out one of his most irritating atttacks (because I seem to get it quite often), the one where he creates a sandstorm around him which limits visibility and prevents you from putting distance between you and him, then creates a powerful shock. I haven't had any luck in dodging the attack at all but using rock form will prevent damage, although you still get staggered.
@@lancelot4718 I was able to kill him with relative ease once I learned that you can just stand on a rock and wait for him to finish his one attack with the lightning rings haha.
Like the last move i go over, death by a thousand shocks? Because it is a big dragon banging the ground to a beat with some electric orbs or because it is kind of impossible not to die until you figure it out?
Didn't do any of these bosses cus i was saving for end game content for secret ending and its embarrassing that i died to this dude more times than i could count cus of his bs move.
Man i really enjoyed the tiger fight was really fun actually he was hard but fair but this boss is just bad and not fun that lightning wave move is just bs
@@ProgressMakesPerfect yeah. I'm loving and hating boss fights. Mostly loving. Attacks in this game are so unpredictable and illusory... Quick and slow attacks and wind ups and moves it looks like they are going to attack but then pause and then attack really fast. It's slightly harder for me to enjoy sometimes.
that death by a thousand shocks is such a garbage move. that alone is the only thing that is killing me. i hate bosses like that. they have a single move that is basically impossible to dodge but does a lot of damage, and i hate it. thanks for the tip wth the rocks, but it sucks that it is the only way to do this
OMG!!! I Finally beat him. ! Seven F****g hours :) . Thank you so much. ATTENTION to all seeking assistance with this boss: The Wandering Wight's hit halts the wind thrill movement. Here is my video with my gamepad on screen. All my button presses are displayed on the screen. The third turn is the final one. th-cam.com/video/8dQcoeP7Aoc/w-d-xo.html
@@Olas-GE Although you had the controller showing on the screen to the right side for input button presses I was looking to see Wandering Wight's HUD to see when you did activate him but couldn't because your HUD (Heads Up Display) wasn't showing.
this boss is so annoying. he busts all the rocks you have to stand on. and there are rocks that look like you can stand on them, but you can't get up onto them. it's instant death. This game is starting to get on my nerves...
Here’s what I did I used gore eyed doaist 4 focus points on smash stance and lanced out pluck of many and the wind tamer. Before the fight use the pluck of many. Once you enter the ring use your spirit doge his attack. Immobilize. Cloudstep behind him. Then use wind tamer. Do light attacks until you have 4 focus points then bonk him on the head. Once he does the wave attack run to the back of the arena and get onto a rock. Wait till it’s finished then dodge and use a variation of light attacks and heavy attacks to finish him off.
I hope the hype wears down and the public realizes how poorly designed the game mechanics are in this game so many times it's just plain stupid and nonsensical with horrible camera angles and input lag! But here we go again we get fooled into visuals c'mon bad PC implementation including stuttering, lag and silly boss fights that seems to be just thrown at you because game designers now think every game has to be a SOULS TYPE GAME TO SUCCEED! Sure the hype sold millions of copies but now I read from other players how silly and poorly implemented things are in this very pretty game it's all of our faults folks we keep falling for it. I personally wished I waited at least another 5 months for some of this crap to hopefully be addressed.
@@nathanloggins1721 I hear that. The performance issues are hard to hear about. I feel like some of the boss fights are more annoying than fun, mostly because of so many boss attacks being tricky with wind ups and looking like an attack is coming, but delaying it, and then hitting you the second you get out of a roll. It's kinda of fun a few times, but when you rely on it so much it gets played out a bit.
@@nhanle9218 well hopefully you got to that part of the video. I like to make comprehensive guides but it does seem like the waves are the biggest hiccup.
Hell yeah! I hope this helped. At times I tried to stear him towards one side of the arena, but honestly I think him breaking all the rocks or leaving one or two is a bit up to luck. Some folks said they got as far away as they could and were able to manage the waves easier.

This is just bad game design. You can’t even jump on the rock half the time due to the camera lock
@@paulsun5234 You can unlock the camera whenever you want by pressing R3. It is helpful to do so when fighting certain bosses and groups of enemies.
Most unfair boss I have ever seen whoever designed this boss needs to never touch video games again
he's not unfair he's just kinda gimmicky, outside of that one move he's easy as fuck

Remember guys. All interrupts are cc but not all cc are interrupts.
I really wish there was something better than standing on a rock.
Bustard keeps smashing all the rocks.
Pillar stance they say
LMAO first try on the rock and easy kill
My problem is that he usually breaks all the rocks😂
Never mind, I did a good job at keeping him in front of me and freezing him before he plays the drums so I can run to the back rock 😂😂
That's VERY true, he breaks them all!!!
He always breaks them, I can’t escape that ring move 😢
Yeah, he is super easy except for those rings.. I die every time because there are no more rock. First I thought I could run to the stairs but that was an invisible wall. Need to scout around if there are any rocks that don’t break anywhere at all.
Charge your heavy attack on smash stance to interrupt it

Max out pluck of many, use the rocks (for his sweeping lightning attack) and he shouldn't be a problem.
You need to make sure u stay on 1 side of the arena. That way you will always have 1 rock that you can go to. If he does his attack freeze him and run
My dad was literally failing so much, I’ll try to help him with this sometime, tysm tho I’ll give you an update later

Finding a rock to stand on ...I'm slow ,...thank for da vid
I'm glad this helped!
literally just jump a rock when starts doing his one OP move and that's it, i really only died to this guy before i realized i should do that
Totally. I hope the video helped.
@@TheKozMLG i only watch these videos after beating the boss but yeah for someone who's having problems it must help a lot
If ur struggling to find any rocks to jump onto, using the red tides transform will make it easier to dodge
This worked great for me! Thanks for the tip
Nice video. Like the slow down and explanations.
Yeah cuz that's how electricity works..... Wtf this boss fight is so broken and desperately needs fixed
After watching the video, I finally defeated the boss. Thanks, man. Wish I had you when I had to fight the black bear lol
These are the best kind of comments. Thanks so much! I'm glad it helped.
Jumping on the rocks made this fight ridiculously easy. Only needed 1 heal
THanks! Now, I can go and hook up to my dialysis.
If ur a distance away and got good time u could just jump and roll over them that’s what I did
Okay. Thanks for the tip!
Those tips were clutch! Beat him second try after watching this vid. Like and subscribe earned!
No comment makes an aspiring money king more proud. Thanks!!!
thanks for the rock tip omg i defeated him on my first try after this video😭
@@roguetimz my fave kind of comment. I. So glad it helped.
I found by charging my focus to max as I'm running in was the best start, he's stunned, then hit him with Wight move and then immobilize him, use pluck of many and then transform and overwhelm him with damage.
Wait for his shock pulse move and run to the rock. Wait and charge your focus back up and as soon as he finishes charge back in and hit with the heavy attack.
The rock transformation will get you through the “death by 1000 shocks”
This won it for me
Is it Rock solid ?
How do you change your transformations i dont find it in the menu
@khalil.Rivera you need to beat the rock mini boss in this chapter, just in the nearby area
@@khalil.Rivera self advance at a shrine, select spells you can change which transformation you use

I’ve found that you can recover from that more quickly. Don’t roll forward into it.
You forgot about his sandstorm attack
Thanks for the rock tip, i beat him instantly doing that
He kept destroying the rocks anyway so I learned the rythm of the lightning rings (usually it’s jump-jump-roll) 😅 the worst move he does is when he sucks you in with wind then explode in lightning
i was worried i couldn't beat this guy but i came back and literally while watching this video, smoked his ass LOL.
FCK MY GAME CRASHED when i went to exit the doors.
The best kind of comments here. That's what we do!!!
Nooooooooo. PC?
@TheKozMLG yup pc. Luckily he was gone after i restarted. I hope i got the loot lol idk what it was

What I do WHEN HE BREAKS THAT DAMN ROCK. I tried jumping,dodging. Nothing F helps
That’s the only thing why I keep dying. Over this stupid move
I like your video a lot
Ah, never thought to sand on the rock. Nice. That move has killed me every single time. I'd actually like to see how it can be rolled/dodged through.

I stood on a rock and he still hit me with that last move 😂😂😂😂
Beat him after watching your vid good stuff
It still hits me on the rock
I call his ultimate attack, "thunder dance"
Beat it the very Friday try after finding a rock after dying to that stupid lighting barrage
insane how bad of an attack that somehow got aproved

thank you so much
The 2 rocks you can sit on, he breaks every time and then you die by the shock waves, it's annoying!
You can try and start him away from the end that has most rocks or just keep trying. Eventually you'll get a run that he leaves something for ya
@@TheKozMLG I finally got past it!
