Dark Souls 3, How do I kill the Abyss Watchers?
I have been trying so hard for a week and I can't figure out how to kill these guys.
I can finish off the first phase but no matter how hard I try, I can't kill the fire dude! Does anyone know either a quick and easy way to beat them, or a way around them?
Question from user KerikoKraft at gaming.stackexchange.com.
Answer:
There is no way of skipping the Undead Legion since they are a Lord of Cinder.
In addition to the summoning options mentioned in @arghtype's answer there are a few weaknesses you can and should exploit.
Almost all attacks are parryable.
In both phases the attacks can be parried with the exception of jumping attacks. Try to abuse this to get through the first phase quickly and to conserve estus. Note that getting the timing right will take a lot of practice but it will make the boss (and future bosses) a cakewalk once you get it down.
They are easily staggered.
The Abyss Watchers are pretty fast but also pretty fragile. They are probably the easiest boss to stagger with normal weapons and if you have a heavy weapon (Great Club, Vordt's Hammer, any Greatsword) you will stagger them with pretty much every hit. So you can just whack at them two times and then run away and dodge until you find an opening again.
In general the Abyss Watchers are often considered to be the first "Wall" a new player encounters. There are strategies to be considered and tactics to be used but in the end, the only thing that will actually help you defeat the boss is a lot of practice (this usually includes dying to the boss a couple of times). .
