I swap mimic and Tiche based on the fight. If I just need to stand back and run in for a few hits while mimic gets it’s faced pushed in it’s the way to go. If I’m looking to just burn a boss down and I’m not too worried about damage Tiche can definitely put the hurt on. Especially with her beam attack.

Mogh has to go down as the worst boss design in terms of how fucked you are if you try to fight him legit vs cheesing him. Dragon Talisman and the fly swarm (found in his own fucking zone) with any tanky ash raped him at L128 for me. Fucking retarded that the god of blood can be bled so easy. Also fucking retarded that he has rape face mele and AE bleed you cannot defend against (and map wide chain bleed at the end of phase 1).

I just beat him in a few tries.

Wait until he aggros on your Mimic then dual wield +10 Katanas, you can wail on him for a while since he does some casting at health thresholds with the countdown thing. Heal through start of P2, retreat and use Comet Azur with the 0 mana cost flask (or other spells) for the last quarter of his health.

Didn't seem too cheesy, some of these bosses seem designed for a summon to distract and you being able to range attack sometimes.

Can also go with Omen Killer or Ancient Dragon Knight Kristoff, they can both solo most bosses. If you don't want help with damage Finger Maiden Therolina is basically immortal with all the heals. The Great shield soldiers are also pretty hilarious, shield wall and throw ghost flame pots. I have seen them push bosses into a corner and just slam him to death.

Can also use his item to slam him into the ground.

There is a thing you can mix in yiu flask that makes you immune to his phase 1 transition aoe bleed.

not in front of a pc right now but i used it to avoid all bleed damage cause by his transition to great success.

Is it actually possible to roll/dodge Milenias anime attack? My current setup relies super heavily on 2h for damage/stagger, but I can't survive her even using that attack much less avoid enough of it for her to not heal 40% health.

I've tried:

Sprint in various directions trying to build distance, no dice tho she just teleports as far as she needs to to be on top of you.

Rolling forward doesn't get you out of range, neither does backwards. The bonus roll talisman doesn't even do it.

You can soak the entire thing with about ~73 shield stability, provided she doesn't clip over you during it and assrape you from behind anyway, but even if you do she gets the full heal from it.

I have Lhutel the Headless summon leveled up pretty high. It’s nice and tanky with its great shield, and also chucks his spear when a mob gets ranged. Also fades out and warps to mobs, and the spear builds up the instant death status on mobs, idk if anything else does that. Found it early so have been using it a long time.

That's amazing, does it still cause knockback? Because that is a HUGE damage window and you could probably skip phase 2.

Ditch the shield, go 2hands, the dodge timing for most is towards, delay, back, delay, towards. Heavy R2 for the staggers/critical hits.

He still heals during it so mostly you just beat on him for ~15 seconds and p2 starts more or less where you ended p1. I don't think you'll actually kill him outright without some kind of massive damage cheese (bleed, Helice/War Cry exploit, etc.).

Faith build is fine with the right weapons. Beat the game easily with the Blasphemous Sword at around lvl 130.

Yep same, Did a Faith/Str/Shield Build with this. Faith is good with the right weapon/Weapon Arts. Blasp Sword which heals you every time you kill something is OP.

Yea stunlock ended up being the key ultimately. Switched to a 2h mace and even the normal R1s were able to break her attack chains and I could mostly lock her down for all/most of phase 1. Phase 2 she has so little health it ultimately is just rolling the dice a few times that she doesn't do too many of her giant floaty/flying around for 30 second nonsense.

If youre in melee range when she starts it, its a lot more difficult than if youre at range like 20-30 yards away. She only really teleports to you on the last(3rd) wave of her ability tho. If you can sprint away from her first wave, then just keep sprinting until her 2nd wave and dodge away. Then on the 3rd wave dodge towards. If you are far enough away when she starts it, you can actually just run away from the first 2 bursts, and then dodge forwards on the last one EZ

Ok, so Mogh healing up to 75% and then getting a fucking limitless range on his move set in the second phase is some horseshit.
