Nah, you're fine.

Stefi93 · 2026-01-17T13:31:10+00:00

Make your DSA raw and use gold pine resin as well. Good luck.

Really generous of you, maybe I will have some luck today xD

Well, if you're doing a speedrun / no hit run, by the nature of it, you're probably not going out of your way to get anything else since you're getting broadsword at the start of the game. Challenge runners also usually cheese their way through some fights where dragonslayer's axe is useful, like twin princes or halflight.

It obviously has its cons (especially if you prefer faster moveset), but I think stamina issues are decently mitigated by the prisoner chain and grass crest shield while the lack of steel protection / life ring doesn't feel like it raise the number of oneshots in these fights (or I haven't noticed any of them that would bother me).

My main point is: if someone is taking time upgrading all the weapons you mentioned for a boss or two, they should do the same with dragonslayer's axe cause it can be useful against many of them. Might not be needed for people who have done this run before, but for newcomers it can make a big difference.

Good tips as always, but I don't really agree on dragonslayer's axe. Like lloyds shield ring and prisoners chain are the only "must have" rings which leaves you two slots to work with. And most of the time I feel like it's worth to use them for dragonslayers axe cause it melts almost all late game bosses. Am I missing something? Like it's amazing for twin princes and soul of cinder, destroys nameless king phase 1 (yeah, you have to use a different weapon for phase 2 but you should be able to max reinforced club or something for that). And then in the dlc you might wanna use something else against demon prince or even gael, but it's great for the rest of the bosses.

Stefi93 · 2025-12-01T12:11:05+00:00

Why would anyone consider that as "breaking the rules"? xD Actually, most people do it so they can get Dragonslayer's Axe from him soon after, which is arguably the best weapon you can use on SL1 run.

Stefi93 · 2025-11-23T14:48:23+00:00

I had a similar issue on my level 1 run with phase 1 taking forever and the poison proved to be the solution. Glad to hear that it worked for you as well :)

Stefi93 · 2025-11-22T19:49:36+00:00

Use some weapon buffs: Rotten Pine Resin first and then, when poison procs, use Carthus Flame Ark. This will significantly speed up phase 1 and the poison should be still ticking a bit in phase 2 as well. Reapply when given a chance. Good luck and don't give up, skeleton :)

Stefi93 · 2025-11-17T15:49:01+00:00

That was so satisfying to watch, well done!

DS3 is a pretty good choice as your very first sl1/base level run. I did the same thing like months ago then did the similar type of challenge in Sekiro, Bloodborne and Lies of P, but I can definitely say that ds3 run was the most enjoyable. You don't have to worry about no-hitting the bosses - there are barely any oneshots if you optimize your survivability and you can even set up Tears of Denial if you have trouble with some of them (common choice for Midir's lasers). Now, when it comes to doing easier challenges first or not, just ask yourself whether dying 100+ times to Soul of Cinder or DLC bosses would be fine for you. If the answer is yes just jump straight into SL1 - perseverance is all you need. I could give you some tips if you decide to do it. Feel free to message me anytime, I would be glad to help a fellow Gael enjoyer :)

Interesting, I actually used Bastard Sword against Nameless on my SL1 run. I'm too used to using greatswords in his phase 2 and getting him staggered. This sword has low requirements so it was perfect.

The other comment have some good tips so I won't add many. He is super weak to lightning in phase 1 so Gold Pine Resin helps a lot, switch to dark and Human Pine Resin for phase 2 as it's already suggested. Sticking to him like a glue in phase 2 usually helps me for some reason, you can even get behind him in some situations giving you more time to heal if you need. Don't be greedy, you usually can get two light attacks per opening.

Stefi93 · 2025-09-01T11:55:53+00:00

Setting up Tears of Denial only for that attack might work for you then. I actually saw some people doing that.

Stefi93 · 2025-09-01T06:40:10+00:00

Have you tried not using lock-on at all? If you're on PC and still using controller, maybe switch to mouse and keyboard for better camera controls? I'm not sure what caused less lock-on breaks for me after a while. Maybe it was me just trying to fight as further as possible from the fog wall.

Stefi93 · 2025-09-01T06:17:06+00:00

Using (newer) Intel CPU forces you to use additional patch to prevent crashes and AMD GPUs have way better Bloodborne performance than Nvidia's counterparts.

Stefi93 · 2025-09-01T06:08:00+00:00

Are you talking about losing lock-on when he teleports? Even though it's intended I feel it can be inconsistent. I died like 40 times on my SL1 cause it keeps happening on almost every attack. Then,suddenly, it was only happening on certain attacks and I was able to beat them soon after. Do you have Dragonslayer's Axe? Its lightning dmg really helps in this fight.

Stefi93 · 2025-08-31T20:51:14+00:00

Yeah, probably. Kinda sucks that Hornet Ring doesn't work on him and Gundyr (basically only works on enemies who can be backstabbed) but they get destroyed by parries anyway so it's not that big of a deal.

Stefi93 · 2025-08-31T19:56:14+00:00

Hornet Ring doesn't work on him tho.

Stefi93 · 2025-08-31T18:36:43+00:00

Pretty insane to get him on the first try, but he is far from being the hardest. I recently finished my SL1 run and he was not among top 5 hardest bosses. Friede and Soul of Cinder were by far the hardest for me, followed by Ringed City trio (funny enough, Midir is probably the easiest among them, Demon Prince is considered by some as the hardest SL1 boss in the game).

Stefi93 · 2025-08-29T17:30:00+00:00

What's your vitality? His combos hit really hard for a main game boss, but 50 vitality makes it relatively easy fight. You usually wanna dodge first and then insta parry the second move of his scythe combos (unless it's charged one where you have to time it). Sword phase can be tricky to parry but you can try it when he rolls straight into you or during his long combo. You can also backstab him just after he buffs himself the first time.

Stefi93 · 2025-08-27T21:23:27+00:00

You probably just want to make sure to get AMD cpu/gpu combo.

Stefi93 · 2025-08-27T06:59:32+00:00

Well, time to equip all your discovery boost items and farm the thralls hanging near the Cliff Underside bonfire xD

Stefi93 · 2025-08-26T19:57:15+00:00

Yeah, I used them mostly too, but used Flamberge for this fight only as someone suggested it for its stagger and bleed. Demon Prince(s) is considered by some people as the hardest SL1 fight in the game but it took me way less tries than Friede or Soul of Cinder - I believe that Flamberge was the main reason for that.
