Holy fuck, this boss fight is garbage.

>first half is just several knights all fucking you over at once
>you can't have a proper 1v1 with any of them because the others will just come up behind you and fuck you over
>the second half is one all over again, except with infinite stamina that literally spams several attacks a second at you
>he can also reach across the entire room with flames that literally extend even further

So difficult guise! xD

I don't understand this meme

>>
>>334844572
Jesus Christ you shove dick all the way to the hair in your mouth.

First form just stay back if it's that hard for you. When 3 are there they will kill each other. Dodge when it's 2 and just goddamn wait it out, pussy.

Form 2 stay close. Learn the wide attack tell. Block that one if you suck at iframes. EVERY other attack you dodge forward then wail on his back. Cautious? Get in 2 hits then dodge backwards.

I beat this on my first try because I'm not a flailing homosexual that can't fight. By this point you can't afford to be this dumb. I say that as gently as possible. Because you only have a little longer until the difficulty spike and even basic enemies will destroy you.
>>
They fight each other
He can be parried
He can be staggered
He can be backstabed
His attacks are incredibly telegraphed and he has nothing past a 3 hit combo

Basically you just suck and should probably just summon two phantoms and let them play the game for you.
>>
>>334845825
Oceiros was on from there though...

>>334846075

If you aren't having fun with the Watchers you should probably just quit. They're arguably the easiest boss in the game, and even standard enemies will be harder than them after the catacombs.

No, they're optional.
>>
>>334845386

Don't try to get close and roll around him. Instead keep your distance and just punish his combos, slow and steady. He doesn't have that much health.

The first half is the main boss with a weak ally against you and occasionally a guy who is hostile to the boss and his ally. Don't attack the guy with red eyes. He'll distract the boss.

>>334844572
M8 Abyss Watchers ain't even top 5 hardest bosses.

My friend that's never touched souls in his life beat it in his 3rd try. I beat it in my first. Quit life. There are a things infinitely harder than this. Might as well off yourself now.

Some people just don't get certain types of fights. You might struggle on Watchers but wreck other more "difficult" bosses, it isn't the typical experience, but it happens.

>>334844572
Beat him on my 2nd try. Used Great Club as part of a STR build.

Just Wait till other Watchers fight each other and while two are distracted, attack the one that isn't. In the Fire Sword form just wait till the end of the combo attack then attack. Have patience.

Or....!

You can just play easy mode and summon 3 Phantoms while you browse this shithole and another 6 threads.

Kek if you think Abyss watches is even remotely challenging good luck on Pontiff and the rest

>that feel when a lot of the bosses can't even compare to some of the annoying faggot enemies you fight in a regular area

Ever since dark souls 2, they have a hard on for giving regular enemies retarded 360-degree attacks in near endless combo chains with a shitload of poise and near instant recovery time. Fighting regular enemies is sometimes more tedious than fighting a boss. I mean I killed Wolnir in under 30 seconds, still have no idea what he fucking does. But that area with the 6 jailers still takes forever to try and lure them out 1 by 1 even if I can two shot them.
>>
>>334844572
>tfw you defeated them on first try
felt so good.
>>
yea abyss watches was hell for me, about 12 tries to finish them it was the 2nd phase that did it for me. stunlocking him only worked for like 3 attacks before he breaks through it and attacks you.

that being said, only boss that took me more tries was the entirety of nameless king.
>>
>>334846473
Just go to the dancer bonfire and head straight.
>>
To be honest, those sword faggots at the beginning of Irithyrll are really powerful, even after the Catacombs.

You have to go through THREE of them.

Then through some mooks. Then a FLAMING sword faggot, paired with mooks. But on of the mooks can one shot you now.

Then you get to ANOTHER flaming sword faggot, and TWO MORE sword faggots.
>>
>>334852449
Their attacks are easy as fuck to avoid/block and they stagger easily
>>
You can make this fight even easier by running straight to the boss gate without killing either of the dickasses so they go against the gate. Lead the second brother near the gate and they will aggro each other. You can then 2v1 for the entire phase one of the fight.
>>
>>334852634
You can't block that shit. They do three fast attacks which which most likely use all of your stamina. They have the frost attacks which does large damage.
>>
>>334852885
Get a better shield and more stamina or learn to roll. I had zero issues with them

This was my favorite boss fight so far. It took me a couple of tries to learn his moves in his final form But its pretty easy just roll and hit him after the combo. I know your gonna say you dont have enough stamina because your blocking just roll. Ive helpes out as a sun bro on this fight and most host died becuase they blocked all his attackes and ran out of staminia and got combod to death
>>
>>334851896
>pontiff
>hard

I don't see how he's harder, he telegraphs his attacks better and doesn't have unending combos that can end or not if the bosses just decides to fuck you up

also you can predict his phantom copy because he literally does the same move, so is actually fair
>>
Easy but fucking hype. And apparently also a good casual filter.
>>
>>334852885
Dont block then and roll instead. Is it really that hard to understand?

Is there any point in hanging around and doing jolly coop if I'm level 89?

I want to help people out with a few bosses but I have a feeling I'm too late as I'm too high level.

Abyss Watchers was the most fun I've had with this game up to now. The way the fight goes is an obvious homage to O&S and beating them for the first time gave me the same rush as my first victory over O&S. The multiple enemies part wasn't even hard, it's the second stage that raped me with its AOE attacks like nothing else. I needed so many tries for that, I ended up raping the first stage as hard as the second one raped me in return. It made me notice how incredibly fair this fight against multiple quick opponents actually is. It really improved upon the O&S formula by making Abyss Watchers the main enemy, Abyss Watchers's son a respawning annoyance that is easily dispatched and the third guy hostile to all other combatants. It leaves so much room for strategy.
>>
what is hard about this fight? When they attack you just roll and attack them back. that's literally all you do. I beat them first try
>>
>All these shieldcucks
>>
>>334854241
I thought it was hard when I realized that the only chance you have to clearly hit the boss is when he charges without using his flame sword

after learning that its a cakewalk

No a 3rd spawns with red eyes that is aggressive towards the other 2 and he can even end the first half of the battle for you if you let him
>>
>>334853995
Abyss watchers are a joke to stagger, abyss watcher has tiny combo chains where as Pontiff can have really long ones if he decides to do a full chain, Pontiff surprises you with the second copy after the phase transition where-as abyss watchers literally sends in another watcher to fight the boss for you and the transition is just a cutscene.

Abyss watchers I cleared on my first try because I went at him really aggressively and kept him staggered. Also burned him down incredibly quickly the first phase and wasn't even aware that more watchers spawn other than the initial second one and the one that attacks them.

Strat didn't work on Pontiff because he doesn't stagger easily and has way more hitpoints so I actually had to learn his moveset and the best way to kill his copy which is literally just to go ham on him and it as he is summoning it.

I honestly do not comprehend how anyone could have more trouble on abyss watchers than pontiff. Unless they played like a turtle faggot or something, Not sure how many bosses attacks are actually blockable because I never use a shield.

pro tip: you can chain stagger them when they're in neutral, but you have to maneuver and depending on how slow your weapon is roll recovery may prevent you from being fast enough, try running around attacks without lockon

Are the people saying this game is hard just memesters? I haven't actually died to a boss since the abyss watchers my 2nd time. I'm playing offline so it's not like I can summon people to cheese them either.
I see all these posts about the Pontiff and about the Dancer and they were piss easy.

It was fun but it got easier and easier and I thought it should have been getting harder.

So is there a ridiculously strong spell like that great resonant soul from das2 ? that shit would take off like 30% of a boss' HP per hit, so stupid strong.

I want to be magic man again but I heard spells were nerfed?
>>
>>334858830
I don't think the bosses are that hard but I'm impressed you beat the dancer in one try, most bosses took me 0 to 1 deaths but dancer rekted me.
>>
>>334859316
everything has been nerfed, except rolls, they are op as fuck
>>
Does anyone else think the Twin Princes were the hardest fight? It took me over thirty attempts.

Pontiff is too tall, with the improved hit boxes several of his attacks can pass right about your head, especially if you are near the three steps

>>334844572
I didn't like the first half because I always hated bosses like that where they just add more enemies. I hated it in the 4 Kids, I hated it in the Ayys in BB's DLC but the second half makes up for that. I'm fighting fucking Guts and Maria's baby and it's fucking incredible
>>
wtf out of all the bosses in the game it was one of the easiest. You can just let one clone do all the work while you get free backstabs. His fire mode is sort of hard but after dying a few times you should know how to beat him.
>>
>>334856821
This is ultra wrong. Only red eyes can hurt boss and boss's friend. Sometimes red eyes decides he wants to fuck with the player as well though for some reason. This can be if you hit him, but not only then.

Get the fuck out when she first pulls out her sword, she'll immediately go supercombo. Let her finish before you go back in.

If you intend to dodge her attack instead of blocking, unlock from her. Having the camera up her ass all the time, while pleasant to look at, isn't conducive to properly navigating the arena and seeing her tells.

>several knights

if you stop attacking the boss and kill the new guy first, another wont spawn until you get the boss down to lower health. also they can fight and aggro each other so its not even that bad

>waaah waah i want a 1v1

pontiff is going to kick your ass in if you can't even handle abyss watchers

This is wrong. Only the red eyed one will fight the boss and the other one.

I'd have made them a gimmick fight with 10 or so watchers,with an individual health bar each, all attacking each other and the player.

Maybe you should just git gud.

>>334864375
I know, I was expecting them to keep waking up until you dropped the boss. All those sleeping ones littered around just going to waste.

Just beat the Abyss Watchers, had a much easier time than OP apparently while I've only got like 12 endurance and 16 vitality, and I can go to either the Catacombs right after, or backtrack to that Cathedral. What's the "intended" way?

Does Siegward only spawn in the well after clearing the Cathedral, or have I fucked up his quest by meeting Patches at Firelink first by buying the tower key?
>>
>Just beat it an hour ago on 2nd try

Favorite fight so far, guess i'm not doing too shitty like OP.

>>334844572
Motherfucker the two Darkwraiths right before the Abyss Watchers are harder than the Abyss Watchers.

I died to them more than I did the AWs, and I only died once to the Abyss Watchers because I didn't realize one of them was behind me. I didn't even die to his "real" form.

Technically Cathedral is supposed to go before Faron Keep, so I'd advise you go there.

Me and my buddy completely missed Cathedral of the Deep and were lost after reaching Irythyrll. Fuck me I ran around those demon ruins for hours looking for an exit to the next zone

You can also get one from using the charred sword (infinite homewardbones) on the bird nest and she pump a rums you a slab.

Pyromancy is fucking strong as shit. Great Chaos Fireball ruins everything, I'm doing a caster playthrough after having beaten the game melee only and I just beat Dancer in one try just walking backwards and waiting for a chance to use GCF. In melee is just wrecked me for hours.

Sorceries are so-so, you don't get the really strong ones until later and they take so fucking long to cast.

Miracles are weak. Like, depressingly weak, and you can't even get Great Lightning Spear until you're ~80% through the game.

(also, if you're gonna do a magic playthrough: Hidden Body+Slumbering Dragon Ring+Rapport is fucking baby mode. Holy shit everything except bosses is a complete joke)
>>
>>334867769
Are you doing all kinds of magic using or what?
I just started a new character today with a plan of mastering all forms of magic, but not sure how I time my build.
I was thinking of doing lots of Attunement early increasing faith and int when new spells and shit needs it.

Any ideas or hints.
>>
>>334868327
Started with Sorceries, adopted pyromancies at Aldrich because he's super resistant to magic and then realized how strong they were. Great Soul Arrow is enough to carry you through most of the game, however. People say bosses are too aggressive for them but they must be trying to use Great Heavy Soul Arrow which takes like three seconds to cast. I'm currently leveling Faith a bit to strengthen the pyromancies.

I don't think I'll bother with Miracles until I'm SL150 or some shit. You really don't have enough levels to focus in both at the same time.

>Any ideas or hints.
I'm really serious when I say use Hidden Body+Slumbering Dragoncrest Ring. It's really strong. Like, "this can't be intentional" strong. You backstab enemies, walk five feet away and they just forget you're there and you backstab them again. Best part is there's a ring that restores mana on backstabs so you can do it basically forever, but do note that Hidden Body only last ~25 seconds (with Lingering Dragoncrest Ring).

It gets ridiculous when you add in Rapport.

Start with Assassin for Spook, it gives pretty easy backstabs (but not as ridiculous as HB+Spook/SDCR)
>>
>>334866374
I also missed the Cathedral, pissed me off because it meant I could no longer do a couple of quests.

You're near a lever, that's the way forward
>>
>>334869416
Well the hints for starting are too late, as I already started the game as pyromancer, felt that the mix of faith and int would get me started on my journey to magic mastery.
And I know and agree that miracles are kinda dull and probably won't get much use of them, but I just like the idea of making magical master that will ultimately have every spell, pyromaniac and sorcery and will be able to use them if needed.

The annoying part will be the spells tied to covenants, being good sunbro is easy enough, but at PvP I'm ass even when I don't gimp myself with silly stupid magic build.

Most atmospheric bossfight or most atmospheric bossfight? Why does he walk around on his knees so much, though? Exhaustion

I agree that the first half is bullshit, since it just comes down to waiting for the red eyed one to spawn, but the second half is a pretty decent fight, kinda reminiscent of Artorias.
>>
>>334844572
Abyss Watchers is easily my favorite boss fight thus far. The music, the atmosphere, it all really worked for me. Summoning for it really kills it because you just get into a backstab trading fest.
