This guy has litteraly infinite stamina
i give up
Try a bow in his second phase. It makes it SO much easier if you can't get the timing right on his swings since he only does his attacks that cover ground and those are generally easy to avoid. I killed him with about 40 standard Arrows with a +5 Dragonrider Bow and 40 STR on NG+, so he shouldn't be too much harder on NG.
>complaining about the slowest, most telegraphed boss in the game
Try hitting the dodge button
I'm still up to doing a STR heavy guy run. But 1 dex and 1 magic run and only died 3 times for this guy.
All you need is to dodge. Stamina is important. I stopped dying for him when i lowered my encumberance so after i dodged i had a little stamina to hit him.

Most shitters that complain about bosses like this are shield users that aren't used to using dodge.

>give up
I think you misspelt git gud
>>336229840
Don't give up!
I spent about 4 hours on Aldrich last night before beating him. It felt so damn good.
>>336230832
sometimes you just get a fight that doesn't shit on you
>Lose to Aldrich because he wont' stop using his arrow barrages
>beat him without getting hit at one point because he never uses his arrow barrage
>>336230998
But his arrows barrage is the easiest move to dodge.
>>336230998
Tip: you can sprint by holding the dodge button
>>336230998
You can trigger him to not use his arrow. That's probably what happened.
All you need to do is run up to him and wack him fast enough so he teleports. People have trouble with Aldritch because they keep distance. Aldritch demands the oposite of that, it's an agressive fight.

nameless king is even easier with havel's shield though

Everyone bosses post-Pontiff demand this.
They all have fuck you moves that will fuck your shit up at long range.

Use a greatshield with high lightning resist
>>336231241
I only had trouble in his latter half. Sprinting from his arrows while loads of homing souls and spears are after you is hard.
Don't
I beat him with a great sword on my 6th try
Where I did only 270-300 damage per hit
Meanwhile DSP with his small ass fast as hell sword did 421 per hit.
Just keep going at it.
You'll get there

You're a fucking moron, I literally beat him using the Lothric Knight Shield to tank most of his hits
Why do people call him the nameless king?

Nameless king drops at least 4 places if you arnt blocking like a bitch and rolling properly (then again most of the other bosses up the top are the same)
He has so little stamina that 3 hits can guard-break him for a goddamn visceral attack.
God damn why do people still make threads for one boss?
I actually thought his first form was harder because locking on made the camera go fucking crazy and not locking on meant I couldn't hit him. Not to mention that you Litterally can't avoid the fire breath and hitting his head is hear impossible with a straight sword because he's too far away
His second phase was ezpz comparativley
WoW vs LoL
MMo vs ASSFAGGOTS
well this is autistic
Good, now that you know he has infinite stamina, fight him having that in mind.
Someone say infinite stamina?
>>336229840
>lel lel so easy
UGS and str weapons turn this fight into a 20 minute poke and try to stun/stagger fest because Miyazaki forgot this wasn't bloodborne. If you're able to get more than a single swing at a time on his second phase you're either straightsword cancer, a dexfag, or END gouging.
Plus the dragon is legitimately annoying without an overhead chop, otherwise you're that guy in the gif swinging his straightsword straight above the crystal lizard. He's by no means impossible as a boss. I just can't tell you how much easier it is to fight him with an estoc or straight/longsword and shield
Balanced bosses so best

I see High Lord Wolnir is not on this list.
If he was he would be at the very bottom, that was by far the easiest boss in the game.
I mean how do you die?
He has giant "HIT ME" signs and his attacks are slow and his skeletons are bitches.
I got more challenge out of the Ghrus than him.
>>336237280
>END gouging.
What's this?
>>336237753
>I see High Lord Wolnir is not on this list
He's so easy no one remembers him
>>336237753
I died to him on my first try. Wolnir moved THROUGH the back cave wall while I got devoured by his stank.
>>336237753
I died to his LMAO chest gas once because he crawled up and I didn't realize.
Of course, there were no indicator or anything. Not even the gas itself had any color. I just watch my HP tricking down and die wondering what the fuck went wrong.
>>336238012
>>336238405
>>336238538
I found all I had to do was hug his hands and slash at him until I had enough stamina to roll.
Wait for stamina to fill, if he lifts his arm roll, rinse repeat.
Took me literally about 3 minutes to kill him at like level 50.
Honestly he never even got a chance to gas me, I didn't know he could even do that.
>>336229840
Most weapons stagger him and set up visceral chances really often. Stop dancing around him for 30 minutes and man up.
>>336230452
>slowest
sages, iudex, yhorm, ocelot, dancer, vordt, tree, wolnir, deacons, ancient wyvern are all slower.
>most telegraphed
every boss above is more telegraphed.
>>336229840
I tried to beat him yesterday with zwei and exiled GS. Basically zwei is shit here (and in most others bossfights, but i've beaten almost everyone with it, so whatever< i think it's still usable) and EGS has a HORRIBLE roll attack which will miss 100% of the time.
The fight became manageable when I equipped the bloodring (it became easier to dodge his shockwawes and his fucking skewer-grab), but i still got punished a lot for using slow weapons. So i switched to butcher knife an beaten him just fine. You might wanna try it out, don't give up.
>>336230720
Am I the only one who can parry, block, AND dodge around here? Is everyone just a shitter who doesn't use every resource available to them to git gud?
>>336230331
I saw that cheese guide. Was tempted to do it because he was pissing me off but felt like that method was just too cheap.
>spend ages trying to beat aldrich
>beat him
>haha, time for a cool new area to explore!
>forced to fight another boss straight away
fuck you
