(Picture: Shane \/ Archthrones Team)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The latter is a lot more doable, but it will be risky in its own right as the boss recovers quickly from cooldown and almost doesn&#8217;t stop moving at all during the fight. We suggest that you time the combos specifically and wait for the boss to either attack past you (so try rolling around him) and<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">then&nbsp;<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">counter,<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;or wait for some of his larger combos, like the rush, kick, and charge attacks&nbsp;<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">to<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;go off, then as he recovers from those, you can counter with a few attacks of your own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now&nbsp;<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">when<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;the boss reaches phase two, staying far away from him won&#8217;t help you much as he has gap closers and can still attack from a distance, so the key is to&nbsp;<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">stay<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;in range of the&nbsp;<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">boss,<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;and wait for his combos to begin. Because these combos are a little longer than those in phase one, you can bait them out, then run around the boss and attack from the side, but don&#8217;t get greedy as the boss aggressively counters in this phase and gets caught in his longer combos here is a quick recipe for death.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/DGNQOLjzQQOw4rNmgGG0UcURZPMvMd0BQUmO9Bi0Xj4\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMy82NjIxZmU0NGFhYTJjLURhcmtTb3Vsc0FyY2h0aHJvbmVzS2VlcGVyT2ZUaGVPbGRHb2RzQm9zc0Jvc3NTdHJhdGVneS5qcGc\" alt=\"Dark Souls Archthrones Keeper Of The Old Gods Strategy\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">For this fight, you&#8217;ll want to stay at a medium range from the boss and only attack after its heavy combos or after dodging a close-range attack.
