I CAN'T BEAT HER

There's only stupid, situational ways to avoid it, or
>read a guide to find the OP ash!
You didn't beat her.

First phase was easy, but then she nuked me like she did with radahn and had a bunch of dirty bullshit like the show attacks so I beat her first phase solo and then gank her with the mimic.

Imagine if she deleveled you like King Allant

I hate that this boss is close to being a really good boss but gets ruined by them just piling too much shit into one boss.
Healing when hitting the player? Fine. Having two whole phases? Also fine in a vacuum. But then they had to give her anime teleporting AOE attacks, which is fucking insane.

WFD is dodgeable if you memorize the frame timings if she starts it point blank. But you don't need to bother at all with that. Just summon and thrash her. I feel no desire to give these pieces of shit any time at all. Making me pick litter up all game and the developers have the audacity to throw this trash of a boss fight at me.

Never got in souls games. I have Dark Souls but lost interest a few bosses in. Reluctant to give it another shot given how janky of a PC port it is. Should I just cut the crap and skip straight to Elden Ring?

You don't need any ash to avoid the attack bro. It's not situational either, if you run away and avoid the first flurry, then roll once to avoid the second, the tracking on the 3rd attack gets confused if you move/roll into and under and she'll dash away with the final attack leaving her vulnerable, the extra attack at the end does little damage and can be avoided by another fairly generous roll. The key to avoiding it is basically just not to immediately start panic rolling. Even if you get hit by some of the attack it's not a big deal, just as long as you don't tank all of it.
Also I literally did not even know about Bloodhound step for the majority of the game.

If you don't like dark souls.
Why do you think you would like elden ring?
Just pirate the game. Save yourself some money.
I'm sure you will give up playing after Godrick.

if some guy can do it with a torch and some girl can do it with a dance mat you can do it too with whatever piece of shit garbage build you are going for. believe in yourself

Played every other souls game. Still took me about a day to beat her and it was a pretty miserable experience. She's such an exhausting fight, and the length/success of the fight is hugely determined upon waterfowl. Even if you block the first strike then dodge through the rest, she's still getting back a solid amount of HP. If you're unlucky and she decides to spam waterfowl, then the fight can drag on and on and you'll eventually make a mistake. I don't think I was doing enough damage to her either as I was using a broadsword and shield rather than any of the cheap blood and bloodhound strats.

And what about the massive damage?

It's more like

post build

It's one of her easier attacks to avoid getting hurt, it's just she usually ends up healing if you're forced to block her first slashes, and if she decides to keep doing waterfowls, she can get a lot of health back. It feels like gambling, and the one time I beat her was the time where she only did 2 waterfowls in the whole fight.

I dunno. Seeing so many people liking a game makes me think I'm missing something. Figured that if Elden Ring is more polished then it might have a better chance of clicking with me.

You can't beat her?
You didn't beat the game.

Holy basado. For me it was just dual wielding two greatswords and jumping L1 spam for continuously posturing breaking her.

>healing when hitting a shield
biggest bullshit in the game. might as well have her heal when she hits the air or the ground.

Am I crazy? Her healing back damage BARELY even matters when it's so little and you can dish out WAY more, the only attack that recovers most of her health is the grab which can be easily avoided.

Full dex double twinblade. Did it during 1.02, before they fixed arc scaling weapons, so no bleed either.
But what does my build even matter? People beat her on a fucking dancepad.

Prety safe to dodge WFD with whips

Bless Tiche. Flame of the redmanes destroys her, as it should since she clearly lost to Radahn.

Don't hold your horses, elden ring is jank kino + Oops all the souls game! in one. Pirate it anyways and see if you enjoy the exploration or busting the game open with retarded shit.

>Bless Tiche
I don't get this, literally any upgraded summon makes her toast. What do you need Tiche specifically for when every summon trivializes the game?

This game has a theme which is punish panic roll.

She's such a cheap boss and I'm not even mad people just cheese her.

>What do you need Tiche specifically for when every summon trivializes the game?
she cute

>Gael
barely harder than Margit

>Flask of crimson tears+5
Damn bro you didn't explore at all.

Based catfight, and Tiche beating the fuck out of this bitch is hot.

Pick Eleonora Poleblade, then pick Godskin Peeler and put a blood ash in it, now equip both and jump L1/LB to win!

why does a shield heal her? what's the lore behind it? it makes no sense, I don't care about the amount.

It's her determination that's healing her, or something.

It's her rune, it has the gimmick where she can heal through damage

i only needed a medium shield to consistently avoid damage from waterfowl
get good

I am Malenia, blade of miquella (x24)

The fight is pointless and narratively, a let down. Everything with Millicent was building towards redeeming Malenia somehow. You get the needle from Millicent as she dies, and the description, along with prior dialogue, implies you're supposed to give it to Malenia. So what happens? You fight and kill Malenia. And then the Rune you get from her is dogshit anyways.

How much damage should you be doing? I was only doing maybe 500 damage per jump attack, and 1600 with riposte.

The big issue I found with WFD though was when she'd do it over and over. If I got unlucky, she could do the thing 4 times in a very short amount of time. That's enough to get half her health back if I'm forced to block the first attack. The only time WFD is predictable is during her first phase at the 50-70% HP mark. Like the only time I was successful was when she barely used it. In one of my more unlucky runs, she used it 9 times, and I was actually being aggressive and posture breaking her throughout the fight.

I was replaying the game actually, testing different builds.

Kratos build was really fun.

>Kratos with a beard
cringe.

Tiche negates a lot of her health gain, and has high mobility.

She heals from hitting the ground where your corpse was after she’s killed you too. Lazy programming, interaction with player’s hitbox=health recovery.

Tiche is my murderwaifu.

Pretty good cosplay desu.

Other summons just become a healthpack for her, tiche is the only one that doesn't actively aid the boss.
