When you see him, start jogging towards him. I've already touched on the basics of my strategy in various places above, but here's a bit more detail.ĭon't apply your weapon buffs / Power Within when you first see the king.they usually spawn a fair bit away. Basically, anything that will add extra damage or keep you swinging longer.

You might want to keep items like Green Blossoms or Golden Pine Resins equipped as well. (You are two-handing your weapon, right?) Again, we want as much stamina regeneration as possible. Grass Crest Shield should be equipped, and on your back. Like I said above, you're going to be spamming attacks.so you want to be able to keep on attacking all the way until he is dead. In the other slot, the best choice is the Chloranthy Ring. Obviously, one ring is taken up by the Covenant of Artorias. The Falchion is probably the 2nd best DPS weapon in the game.if you don’t want to use the PGS (maybe DEX too low?), I highly recommend using the Falchion. You're going to want to two-hand it, and then just spam the weak attack. The PGS has the highest DPS of any weapon in the game. The ideal weapon is a Painting Guardian Sword, upgraded as high as you can get it (naturally).

Weapons from the curved sword category are probably the best DPS weapons in the game. That doesn't necessarily mean the biggest Attack Rating.you want something that has good damage per swing, and also swing FAST.

You should ideally have several seconds between killing one king and the next one e that time to heal, re-apply weapon buffs, and the like.įor your weapon, you want a high DPS weapon. Just eat whatever damage the king throws at you. This fight is a DPS race.the more time you spend healing or dodging, the less time you are spending finishing the fight. Only heal if you think your health is critical. But being close to him will actually reduce the damage of his physical attacks to minimal, and make him unable to hit you at all with several of his magical attacks. The distances are VERY hard to judge in the Abyss.

Stay close to the king that you are attacking! Basically, walk up to him until you bump into him. Many of their attacks do physical damage, and all of them do magical damage. Use the best combo of magic-resistant and physical-resistant armor you have access to (Havel's set is ideal, especially if you substitute Logan's Big Hat for the helmet).
