Whenever the Dragonslayer Armour hits you, you need to heal immediately. For once, it's much safer to stick to the boss's weapon hand side rather than off-hand, because those shield bashes will absolutely stagger you - and then it's all over. More surprisingly, the shield is far more deadly than the big old weapon.
If he stands up straight or kneels, he’s about to do an area of effect attack, and you should get away as quickly as possible instead of trying to roll past them. There are a couple of his moves you should watch out for. Roll behind the Dragonslayer Armour and he’ll sail right past you. Those of you with twitchy reflexes may find you roll too early the first few tries, while those of us with reflexes like a dead duck will, for once, sail majestically under the boss’s attacks. The more damage you do with your quick smack, the faster this ends – but it’s better to let it draw out, and go into a sort of zen state of rolling and smacking, than to anxiously rush through it.ĭodging the attacks is actually easier if you’re not a great melee player. This is a battle you may have to repeat a few times (good thing you sent that lift down, huh?) until you get the hang of it, but the basic gist is this: dodge the Dragonslayer Armour’s attacks, and give him a very conservative paddle in the recovery after his two hit combo. It hits very, very hard – you want as much Estus as you can muster – but it doesn’t have any especially mean tricks beyond that. The thing about the Dragonslayer Armour is that it’s really just a big old knight. It's really worthwhile doing a few practice runs in phantom form rather than spend an Ember immediately, as this is one boss where practice makes. While it’s true that there are no tricks you can exploit, and that the Dragonslayer Armour and his pal, the “Pilgrim Butterfly”, are very dangerous, the majority of this battle is just staying calm. There is a nasty difficulty spike in this battle, but it’s mostly psychological. High five! Send the lift back by rolling off so you can get back here again just as easily. You’re at the boss gate with zero fights.
