Bros i'm getting filtered

oh and dont get greedy with him, as he is unpredictable
take the somersault sword slam he sometimes does. He can do it once, twice, or three times if he feels like it. So you cant just attack him immediately after he finishes a somersault or you risk being flattened.
Most his moves have a pretty small punishment window too

Any halfway decent greatshield will make Artorias much easier.

DON'T POST THAT WEBM

Then do the same thing.
TOO LATE BUDDY

Holy shit. From software exposed as hacks.

Wait, Smough's set offers better poise than Havel's? Or would Havel's work as well?

Look at his sword, not his shoulders. He doesn't hit you with his shoulders.

Holy shit this is probably my favorite fight in the DS series. It feels like a fucking dance when you get the timings just right. Kind of sad they took out the recorded dialogue for him.

But yeah, roll fast and use a quick weapon with some good distance on it like great scythe.

Its a fun fight and theres not that many things Artorias does, so there's not a lot to learn. Dodging and spacing are pretty much all you need to figure out defensively. Refrain from attacking if you aren't 100% sure its safe to punish and don't get greedy or impatient A lot of builds are going to eat shit with just one or two mistakes but as you can see this fat fuck in Smough's armor can just drink estus and mash.

Smough's set has overall best damage resistances in the game. Havel's has more poise, 121, but it's so much it's pretty much pointless. Giant and Smough already have more than enough with 91.
Wearing one part of Havel's set is usually just a way to get some poise when you're otherwise wearing light/medium armor.

I figured that might be it. I always found it funny (and a bit annoying) that some bosses can be casually poised through whilst certain normal enemies like sentinels and the silver knight archers just straight up ignore your poise stat. It's pretty weird.

I fucking love Smough's set.

If you clock him in the head with a great arrow you can interrupt his double damage self buff

Well greatbows, kicks and such do knockback, which poise doesn't help with.
Greatbows also do a ridiculous amount of poise damage, especially with Gough's arrows, but it's usually the knockback that kills you.

be patient and learn his dive
take your swings and don't be greedy

I don't think they'd be using Gough's arrows, but even if they were they only do 100 poise damage so it should be possible to power through them. I didn't realise that greatbows have the same effect as kicks though, never noticed even in multiplayer, that's interesting.

You can do the same thing here, just chug moar and spam r1 when he charges up. This isn’t some kind of well-designed boss

I got filtered as fuck by the Super Mario brothers, trying to fight them with the Greataxe was a nightmare

that's the most pathetic ds gameplay ive ever seen

whoops, too bad. Guess you'll actually have to learn how to play the game and dodge now
