So how the fuck do i dodge that move where the snake puts its head in the earth and makes a shockwave...

The exploit is a fully charged L2 not R2

Just equip the spear and call the mimic.
Two spears stunlock him the entire fight if you really wanna cheese

12 mil copies sold means inevitably there will be shitters

Ok so I am retard that wasted all these stones

You get like a billion stones, who cares

You actually can't, it has extremely difficult framing.

You and me both lmao, but he was pretty easy to beat in the end anyway, just gotta learn to dodge

That’s not true, just watched a video where a guy buffed it up for his mimic and it killed the boss for him no problem.

I find it cute when the snek head pops out in surprise

Equip Serpent Spear
Call the boi

Maybe stay closer?
I very rarely saw this move honestly

The mimic doesn't use the serpent killer attacks, only regular ones which scale with strength if I remember correctly.

I never stunlocked him before they patched it. He's perfectly beatable without cheesing him.

You don't dodge it, you can dodge the initial shockwave but most of the time the rest will hit you. Just don't be far away, he won't do that move if you're in melee/spear range.

Run to the side.

Can you jump it?

Mimic literally does all the attacks, it just has retard AI. There are plenty of YT videos of mimic's basically soloing him

I've literally never seen that attack.
Stay closer maybe?
You can stand in the fire no problem, it's not a big deal unless you have like 0 vigor.

If you’re disgusted and the conversation of this game online here’s your answer

Then I guess it's just another bug to add to the ever growing list, still didn't stop me from beating the shit out of him

>they removed the exploit where you could stunlock him with R2
I thought that was intentional. If you get your timing right, you can beat the fight easily with constant stunluck, but if you don't you can get caught in the middle of a long animation.

This shitty boss didn't deserve a second phase and a second healthbar.

This is purely a kino fight, its not even designed to be difficult.

Just stay close to the serpent. Only time I got that move was sometimes at the very start of the battle

Incredibly difficult boss

Get a shield, get Vow of the Indomitable. Done

This.
Also he has a few weakspots where gash wounds are. He takes nearly triple damage if you hit him in the gash wounds.

lmao just block

the skull attack is pretty bullshit. Just keep blindly rolling for a whole minute. Bravo Miyahacki

unironically one of the hardest fights in the game.

I'm on ng+5 and this boss is actually filtering me and I already beat malenia.

>how the fuck do i dodge X
just roll retard, you can literally roll through every attach thanks to i-frames

Block

I haven't used a shield in these games since I was 12 years old playing my dad's copy of demon's souls, not gonna start now gay boys.

>since I was 12 years old playing my dad's copy of demon's souls
So, last year?

only a zoomer would think of the remake. I forgot it even exists.

Press L1 then you will block with the spear

Literally don't roll, just run
Goes for 95% of moves that are tracking projectiles

yes the attack is undodgeable most of the time due to its horizontal range, jumping doesn't help. Blocking with the spear will eat 20% of your health off, the only good way to deal with it is to use a 100% phys shield.
HP taxes like Mohg's Nihil are shitty, the player should only get punished for a lack of skill, not for having the wrong build. Furthermore, trying to heal afterwards will trigger the boss's AI into an instant attack.

The earthquake should be jumpable, like Loux's, that to me seems like a genuine oversight from the devs

mohg has laughably low health and it's easy enough to heal through curse, barring that you can just get the item that shields it and turn him into a 1 phase fight.

>hp taxes
you mean like walking through a lake of poison to get to quelaag? you mean nito? you mean any area with lava? hp checks are a classic dungeon crawler mechanic that forces you to actually manage your resources. unless you're trying to do an sl1 no flask run or something it is entirely manageable

Malenia kind of fall down in term of difficulty in NG++
Mogh become hardest boss for me now.

>the only good way to deal with it is to use a 100% phys shield.
there's literally no reason to use shields if they don't have 100% phys block. Is this your first Sousl game?

>you mean like walking through a lake of poison to get to quelaag? you mean nito? you mean any area with lava?
yes? that is literally what I said, waste of time because it adds nothing to the game in terms of skill
>manage your resources
on an action rpg? I would at least expect a way to go over those zones without having to waste any resources if you know what you are doing.

where did I say anything like that, quote me. I clearly said that if you wanted to truly defend yourself against that attack you needed a 100% phys shield, and even then you get a bit of chip damage, but it's really small

Buckler is pretty kino for parrying.

when people say "block" or "use a shield" they mean block with a 100% phys shield.

>being a literal fucking child who played Demon's Souls
It's no wonder you're shit at this.

>it adds nothing to the game in terms of skill
I think it's an interesting way to force better resource management. To say it's pointless is very silly

not only that it makes sense for mohg to have that kind of 'fuck you i win move' hidden in his back pocket. he's a catacombs-tier fight otherwise

Hes easily the hardest boss in the game lmao what are you talking about

First time I fought him that happened.
>stunlocked him
>phase 2
>pop Starlight Shard
