Why is your claymore raw infused

Why do you use a raw claymore?

#

Use a black weapon or the greatsword

#

Also, have the fire ring and be sure your vigor is leveled.

You realise raw infusion removes all stat scaling from your weapon right

Falls off very quickly unless you're doing a SL1 run

Old demon king

stationary-like boss, lot's of aoe attacks, my go-to is using storyteller staff + pestilent mist and a nice shield (I use black knight shield, you can use a better one if you can)

Shield does wonders against his aoe attacks, even though he is resistant to storyteller's poison, you can melt his health with enough stalling.

Black knight greatsword is also very nice as a melee option, because of the bonus against demons and weapon art.

Casting sorceries or lighting miracles can be good, as you will be taking distance, still, dark sorceries are better for this fight.

Most of his damage absorptions are very low.
Standard damage, Thrust and Dark are at 0%
Strike is at -2%
Do not use fire.

He is inmune to bleed and frostbite, so don't try to use those.

Try to break his poise and endure until he releases his final attack, that's when he is very low on health, keep your focus when it happens, because it can deal lots of damage if it gets you (Shield can be very useful here) and when he finishes, he would be practically finished, because he will not be properly able to fight.

Bring a few red bug pellets (15% fire damage reduction)
And if you can, cast Flash Sweat too (30% fire damage reduction)

They stack, so you can get 45% fire damage reduction.

I suggest strike and fire resistant armor.

Its ds3 you can just fucking r1 30 million times in between attacks and still have enough stamina to roll 20 times

neither is 99% of what you said

#

"change up your entire build and be a caster" is not valid advice

black knight sword does extra damage against demons and is overall very powerful. u can get it in demon ruins behind an illusory wall. considering ure using a claymore, u should get the strength requirement pretty easily.

#

Using dark resin/dark weapon can also be a lil plus if he wants to keep the claymore

#

Normal poison/toxic can be useful too, be it resin or pyromancy but they're not the best form of poison
