Tips to Deal with First Boss
In short
He was difficult. But he can pretty much be murderized by getting parrying down. Parry, then a couple of focus attacks. Rinse and repeat with the occasional dodge. Parry is the key though.
In detail
If you feel you need to level up more the only way is to go into a fresh realm with your character.
I think enemies only respawn once you beat the first boss and enter the city.
From my experience with the first boss i can only recommend what i’ve done. I beat him in meele and did not use parry.
- I ran into him and for the first 1-2 minutes simply watched his attack patterns. not attacking myself just watching and learning the dodge timings with my equip load.
- You also don’t need to farm consumables for this if you die just run back and learn.
- If broken gear is an issue do this naked. I know may sound counter intuitive but that way you can learn and don’t have to worry about cost.
- Once you feel comfortable start to put in attacks in downtimes between his attacks.
- Start with single hits don’t get greedy.
- Get comfortable with attacking and you can start to do combos of 2-3 hits.
There is a way to ‘cheese’ this fight. If you still have some money you can buy a bunch of bombs from the vendor(6-7 should do it, 10 to be safe in-case you miss), some cooked food and just use the bombs to bring down the boss whilst using your stamina to avoid his attacks.
Bonus tip
Make sure to buy any food recipes you can from the smith. Better heals = easier fights.
Doesn’t hurt to pop a stamina potion while fighting the boss. It’s less about immediate damage, and much more just watching the boss do his combo.. then getting a few hits in. Then just repeating that loop until they’re done. Folks are too eager to keep attacking the first boss rather than having a little patience.
