If you have arrived at The King Of Puppets, then you are officially at 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Lies Of P's halfway point. That's definitely something worth celebrating! Unfortunately, instead of the game throwing a party for you, it is more than likely going to hand out an ass-whooping. And you probably already know who's ass it is going to be. No, we aren't talking about the Mad Donkey.
This is a very tough two-stage fight. You aren't going to tussle with just one opponent here. That would be too easy. Instead, this fight will be against two wholly different foes. We'll take you through this battle, and help you claim victory. Though, be warned, even with this guide by your side, you're probably going to need to prepare to get roughed up a little.
The King Of Puppets' Attacks
The King of Puppets' primary attacks are large swinging strikes, and spinning slamming strikes. When the King of Puppets spins, he will slam a fist down just as he is completing the full rotation. You will want to Perfect Guard this attack. Typically, he will perform two of these attacks in a row.
When the King turns to his side and pauses, he will follow with a backhand or a forehand slap. If his second arm on the same side is down as well, this swing will hit twice. Often, but not always, the first swing will be followed by a second from the opposite side. No matter which permutation of this attack he uses, dodge through it.
There are a bunch of these swiping attacks in the King's arsenal, but they all operate in basically the same way.
The King of Puppets will sometimes take out a gun and fire a number of mines that will erupt a few seconds after they land. While he is firing run up and land some hits. While the mines are down on the ground, it is more important than ever to dodge through his swinging attacks, as even a perfectly guarded attack can send you careening into a mine.
During the second phase of the battle, the King will start to extend his arms, swiping at you with his hands (which will be spinning like propellors). If you are close to him when he starts this attack, just stick to his feet, and you are free to slash at him as he flails. If, on the other hand, you are far away from him, just keep your distance. Then, once he flails with both of his arms at the same time (signaling the end of this attack), start running toward him and get behind him.
The King of Puppet's propeller-handed attack is often followed by his ground slam Furious Attack.
The King of Puppets will plant himself and spin up his turbine. If you are too close, you will take damage. This attack is completely unblockable. He also has an attack where he will walk around while spinning his torso. This attack is unblockable if you are too far away from the King of Puppets. Tricky!
When the King flips around the arena, he will either perform ෴a flying kick or another a♍rm swing. You can dodge both, or Perfect Guard them, but you are better off just keepin’ your distance.
The King Of Puppets' Furious Attacks
The King of Puppet's Furious Attack will see him slam himself to the ground face first. Once on the ground, the King will swing his arms all around him. This attack is best dealt with by getting behind the King, as his arms do not reach all the way behind him. You will be able to land multiple attacks from here.
The arm swing part of the Furious Attack is dodgeable. So,🎃 if he slams down in front of you, get ready to dodge past those🙈 arms!
He also has an unblockable flail, where he stands still and flails his arms all around. Like his ground slam, you can attack him from behind. However, if you aren't behind him when he starts to use this attack, it is best to just run away.
The King Of Puppets Strategy
The King of Puppets is a pretty traditional Souls boss. He has highly telegraphed attacks that are easy to roll through, but if you miss one of those rolls, you will take heavy damage. He can hit you from extremely farꦏ away with a single swipe of his giant arms.
The big thing that one needs to learn when fighting the King of Puppets is that they should NOT Perfect Guard every attack. This will largely run contrary to how you have played the game up to this point. While his wide, swinging strikes are very easy to Perfect Guard, what you will find is that when Perfect Guarded these attacks w🧜ill lock P into place and push him away.
Meanwhile, if you roll through the backhands, you will be able to slash at the king and deal some damage. Once you realize that dodging through his attacks gives you more opportunities to deal damage, this encounter will become far more manageable.
The other attack the King likes to use frequently is his spinning slam attack. He will turn a full 360 degrees before slamming his fist down on the ground. This attack is easily Perfect Guarded, as you can use the spin as an indicator. Once he has spun full around, prepare to guard. He will do two of these in a row. You can land one quick attack in between the two slams.
It can be easy to confuse the backhand turn for a spin, which means that you may think you are getting a spinning slam, but he is actually winding up for a backhand. Thankfully, there is time to dodge as if it is going to be a backhand attack and recover in time to perfect guard. So, always dodge when you see him turn.
You will be able to dish out damage after every sequence of spinn🐼ing slams and swinging🦹 attacks.
Second Phase
When the King of Puppets starts crying, he is about to flail his arms around. This is the halfway point of the battle. Get some distance once🦩 he starts wi🗹th the waterworks!
The King also has an attack where he will flail his arms around as he walks toward you. Ideally, if you are in range, you will get in close and slash at his ankles. However, ♒if you are too far away, just sprint in the opposite direction.
If you ever see the King Of Puppets start to ✅glow red, run behind him so that you can stab him in the back as he💮 flails on the ground.
The King's Two Turbine Attacks
The King of Puppets has two turbine attacks. One will see him fold over and spin up his turbine, the other will see him walk about while spinning his torso around freely. Both of these will deliver completely unblockable attacks. However, they are unblockable at different ranges.
If the King plants himself down, get distance. His attack will only hit you if you are close to him. When he is spinning his arms around, on the other hand, you want to be close to him. This attack will hit everything that isn't right next to him. This attack is actually a blessing, as you can just unload fully charged attacks into the King when he is doing it.
As you can see, you will have plenty of opportunities to damage the King of Puppets. The more uܫsed to his attacks you become, the more chances to damage him you will have. Inevitably, you will shut him down, but that means you will no✅w have to deal with the little man who lives inside of him: Romeo.
Romeo's Attacks
Romeo will engage you with a number of combo attack sequences that can drain your stamina and break your guard. You can try to Perfect Guard each attack, but he varies his timing, and his attacks are quite swift.
If his eyes grow red, he is going to use an attack that will yank you forward. You can block it, but even if you block it, the second part will land, and you will be pulled forward. T🍒hankfully, it is short-ranged, so you can dodge away from it.
When you are at a distance, he will throw his scythe at you. If you make sure to strafe around him, this attack will ജtypically miss.
Romeo likes to use an attack where he will sprint around you, leaving a trail of fire, before stopping and then leaping forward with an attack. Dodge the leaping attack and land a quick two-hit combo as a response while he recovers. If Romeo leaps forward and does nothing, wait to dodge again, as he is going to perform another strike that will end with an upward thrust.
Make sure to not step onto the trail of fire. You will sustain fire damage!
During the second phase of the battle, Romeo will light his Scythe on fire. Once he does this, he will sprint toward you and launch into an extended combo that will shatter your guard. The timing is pretty brutal as well, so it isn't easy to Perfect Guard. It will also set you on fire, even as you block it. This is the most difficult move you will need to deal wit🐼h, and will almost certainly be the cause of dozens of deaths.
Romeo's Furious Attacks
Romeo's Furious Attack is an invincible heel kick. He balances himself on the edge of his Scythe for quite some time before delivering this kick. His heel kick does give you quite some time to prepare for the Perfect Guard, but it is such a long time that the rhythm can be hard to learn on the fly. It is pretty short-ranged, though, so you can very easily run away and get distance from it.
During the second phase, he will leap into the air and perform a flying kick. You can just run away from this one, and it will always miss.
Romeo Strategy
The fight with Romeo can be absolutely maddening. What the hell are you supposed to do about this guy, right? Well, we're happy to say that with the right approach, Romeo is extremely manageable.
What you need to do is to run. Don't try to block his attacks. Don't go for Perfect Guards, just keep your distance. As you run, you are going to want to circle him, this way his scythe throw will miss you.
Eventually, he will start using his own running attack. He will circle you, then lunge forward with a spinning attack, or a flying attack. Either way, the strategy stays the same. Dodge that attack, then dish out some of your own damage as he is recovering.
Keep doing this, and you will be able to whittle Romeo down gradually. Eventually, he will enter into his second phase, and gain his flaming scythe attack. Be ready for it! Once he starts lighting his scythe on fire, land 💧a ൩charged heavy attack, this will disrupt his big move!
Another option is to, once again, run. However, you will need to have a light build if you want to evade the entire attack. This is your best option if you don't disrupt him in time! Once he is finished with his big flaming scythe attack, it will be back to business as usual. Keep your distance, dodge those lunging attacks, and chip away at Romeo's health.
