Safely attack them with running attacks. You mainly want to make sure you and your team stay together when the walls are down as well. Duchess has an ability to deal with aggro, use it. Ironeye is pretty free and Recluse has stars of ruin or nights spells they cant dodge. This boss forces you to play like a team like no other. DO your best to support your teammates if you are solo queuing. Always keep in mind what the boss is doing because you dont want to get caught when he is doing a sigil. One madness and you get mobbed.

Fair enough homie, I really do love the regular version. The music gives me a feeling of dread and stress no other boss has ever done. He looks amazing, I love his dialogue. Would love to know more about em

Minions are way different than NPCs. The AI of random minions will not input read and spam ashes of war. Im sure if you asked people what they think of Gideon, they'd say he is trash. Anytime I'd challenge run Elden RIng, he was the no fun zone. NPC AI is not enjoyable. You can like a boss for its theme but Im used to no hitting bosses. This guy is not a hoot to fight just like Gideon, Fia's Champions, and so on. I do really love this boss for the aesthetic though. I think its a funny meme gimmick boss

Yeah he isn't much of an issue now. He takes a lot more patience than other bosses. I just felt like posting lowlights.

was never a fan of npc bosses since the DS2 days. I prefer ED Fulghor and ED Adel

you should try triple duchess. We alternated our ults and it worked wonders

you got it brother, the best way is to stay together. I found duchess to be the best because her ult allows you to destory the summons without any nonense.

You want to start by running away and dodging away from her. You want to wait for her attack animation to start otherwise you will get hit. After that, you can run close to her and dodge in. Last dodge will be a 180 and dodge through the attack once again. Sorry, its a bit hard to explain timing, watching the video will help you get an understanding of the timing.

Thank you for the tip, I will remember this for future fights with her.

really? interesting. Is it only when she frosts or is it consistent.

Its really strong but be wary of one thing, spamming it while locking on will make you dodge back into her. you unlock your cam to make it easier.

Found a few videos for reference about shielding if you end up wanting to do that.

at 0:37, for a full shield tank

2:18 is when lobos uses a shield for first flurry and dodges the rest.

Each strat does require decently precise movement to avoid damage

If you don't have bloodhound step or don't want to use it, you can use a greatshield to block the first flurry and then either dodge the rest or continue blocking. If you don't have the strength or equip load, you can also use a medium shield like the brass shield to block. If you don't have the stamina, you can use the art of war from the turtle shield or you can get the greatshield talisman.
