what a stupid fucking boss fight, this is the spongiest boss I've ever seen in a video game, I have fully uprgaded twinblades with 80 fucking DEX and it feels like I can barely scratch him, same on my 66 STR character
You're supposed to hit his head, you know. It takes double damage and at around 1/4 health he gives you critical which reduces almost all his remaining hp.

>You're suppose to hit his head! Artificial difficulty
Gavin Moore
Using your head is not artificial difficulty.
John Gomez
Summon me for this fight. You can be the bait while I snipe his head with my lightning great arrows.
Adam Wilson
>Flies 1000 feet across the arena >Finally get within range to actually hit >Flies to the opposite side of the arena 5 seconds later
Yeah, no, fuck this boss. Its just fucking tedious and annoying.
Parker Cox
play with unlocked camera and hit the head gz you beat midir
Austin Allen
Yeah, no. It's extremely rare for him to fly. Most of the time he's in your face swinging his arms.
Justin White
You're supposed to fight bos head, not the rest of his body. If you stand directly in front of him lock onto his head and pretend his head is a smaller more traditional post-AotA nu-souls boss, it's far less of an endurance test.
Dylan Allen
If you want a relatively easy way to beat him then here's how I did it, it took me less than ten tries Use the black knight halberd, mainly use the running attack on his head, keep running around his attacks and eventually you'll learn his patterns, don't be cocky, the running attack is all you need
Stand under his chest facing outwards so his head is in front of you, bait out his ground swipe attacks and punish the head when he's done. You can get him stuck in a loop where you can abuse this a fair few times in a row. When he breathes fire on the ground, run straight to his tail and get a few hits in.
I ran through this dlc on my NG+ character and midir took me like six hours. Almost every attempt was spending 15-20 minutes getting him down to 10% health and then getting OHKO'd by his panic kamehameha spam.
Midir just sucks, you have 5 seconds every time it lands a football field away to smack it before it flies to the other side of the arena again. Its just tedious and boring to fight.
Zachary Lewis
It's just a 5 minute fight with level 1 character at NG+7.
imagine havine 1200 hours in ds1 and still being so bad
Alexander Nelson
How is that any different to say O&S? You can literally have situations where you CANNOT attack them for good 20 seconds if they decide to and if your spacing is bad.
Ian Taylor
It is.
Christian Brooks
>the only boss in the game you can't just outDPS with 20 estus flasks and staggers >Soulsfags break apart at the seams
There is nothing wrong with Midir, he's a relatively straightforward encounter with telegraphed moves and an obvious weakpoint.
O&S aren't in an arena the size of the country of France, you're not fighting something the size of building that fills the whole screen when you're in range to hit it and you're not waiting until Smough decides he doesn't want to be 1200 feet away from you for 90% of the fight to be able to hit him.
Daniel Smith
>Hurr durr my attention spam is too short for a medium length boss fights durr
Maybe try to cut down on masturbating and sugars zoomer
Logan Mitchell
Sure, you can cheese literally any boss in any of the games in under a minute with he right cheese build, that doesn't change anything about how the fight is designed and why its kind of bad
Adam Powell
Good thing Midir doesn't want to be 1200 feet away from you 90% of the fight either.
Carter Myers
Respec to 99 FTH and just fuck his mouth with sunlight spears
Mason Price
He flies around constantly.
>HURR DURR nu-uh he neber flies :^) Just stop.
Jayden Robinson
stand in front of his head, get a hit or two in, let him do his thing, repeat he's not very hard unless you get instagibbed, just long, staying in front of the head at all times makes it easy to see what he's doing next since all his attacks have obvious tells
Zachary Moore
He constantly tries to close the distance and hit you with his claws. Watch videos posted in this thread and actually try fighting him more than once.
Isaiah Sanchez

inb4 >lol bro just cheese it with this specific build its not a badly designed fight just do exactly this and only this :^)
Aaron Anderson
I hated that fag a first. Outside of the screen most of the time and a horrible run back. Then i started to position better and turned out to be a fun fight. Had to change my katana for the Astoria GS becaue the run and heavy attack did almost double the damage
Zachary Hall
>dude u just didnt play da gaem
Not an argument.
Michael Sullivan
His sperg out attack is almost all bark, just step back and the guy drop his head right in fornt of you begginf for a stab
Michael Cooper
>Not an argument. Not an argument. You missed watch videos part.
Sebastian Rivera
lmao don't lie, if he's at range he'll lazer or do the flying fire towards you
Wyatt Torres
I rather fight Midir than play that piece of shit Sekiro again.
TWO FUCKING GUARDIAN APES ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Even though i beat them in my first try i'm still salty. Fuck that stupid monkey and his whole family.
Jeremiah Barnes
he constantly keeps his head low enough to be reachable, if you can't kill him legit use that one spell that nukes him I think it's called mercury something
James Powell
literally just follow him as he fucking moves and you should always be able to get a hit on his head, I've never had an issue with this with standard ass melee builds I don't even think you can cheese midir outside of pestilent mercury
