Hugs of Sir Manys

THAT GUY. Ohhhhh that guy. On my first playthrough when I first encountered him, he was a nightmare. I think I have him down like a science though now. Recently defeated him again, on my second playthrough. I wish you luck. He is a tough lightning-spear wielding cookie.

Actually I took him down already. Simply using Havel Shield to block his insane attacks and combining it with dodging makes him MUCH easier (but still very hard).

But hell... I loved that fight. Or every boss fight in Dark Souls. No other game gave me this intense combat.

Oh, congrats. He definitely is an ultimate challenge, one that feels sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good to overcome. Both of my times defeating him, on my first and second playthrough's, I took the route of two-handing a weapon and thus, only dodging for defense. Needless to say, the timing with that is impeccable.
