I still don't know how to do her 2nd phase at all, thanks for any help.

I found that backing up whenever she does the big spin you have two options: just straight up running, or timing your dodges carefully to roll through each spin. For the rest of her moves, usually the same as first phase? If you have more specific questions, feel free to ask or summon someone for help.

Yeah, you’re right. The second phase offers less safe opportunities. I found a general rule that if you see her start to return to her normal stance, that’s usually a fine time to attack. Her combos are quite long, so don’t think about attacking before she finishes. It depends on what weapon you’re using.

Yeah, the long sword is a straight sword which is generally the best class. Quite fast, so you could attack between some of the slower moves as well. Also side note: the dancer is weak to dark damage, so consider using human pine resin.

Personally, with a fast weapon, close range is good but be wary of the big spin

#

Also back off to heal

#

Not many long range moves

Ok

#

Thanks, I'll try those tips when I fight her again.

I'll also send a average vid of me vs the boss fight.

#

Since its probably easier to tell what I'm doing wrong with a video.

If it makes it easier.

I just walked around her and beat her with dark hand that's always a viable option if you fight her again

if dark hand is better than whatever you've been using by the time you reach that point then you've done something wrong with your build

Like

Maybe right after Vordt

this person had a +7 weapon, they were not that early in progression

#

My point was more if all else fails. This is my first playthrough so like if I can do it I'd assume anyone can

If he's stuck on dancer for that long, a change of weapon isn't the issue

#

Mane I was just offering advice from my experience. Dark hand and just walk around her took me like two tries

turbid wind
#

You're still on your first playthrough?

#

I got to the soul of cinder and then stopped playing for like 6-7 months bc I didn't know what ending I wanted

#

And now I'm farming covenants while I have access to the whole map

Just don't advice people to literally lower their damage

hardy ginkgo
#

Again was just sharing how I did it. Quick and easy really early kill

winter cliff
#

Actually look at the context before giving advice

#

Idk how is it so hard to just accept you made a mistake and do better next time

hardy ginkgo
#

And equally idk how hard it is to not be such pricks. I was giving an account of how I did it. I also mentioned for the next time they fight that boss because dark hand was a fun way to fight her.

So you don't even actually care about helping people
