Putrescent Knight (LVL1 NG+7 DLC+ No Blessings)

Finally got to DLC+ on this character. I'm going to redo the fights I already did in regular NG+7 and move on to the fights I haven't done yet, which hopefully won't take too long. I appreciate the patience of everyone who has stuck around.

Compared to my previous fight, this takes slightly longer even though I had better RNG and played more optimally, as the HP increase is over 24% compared to normal NG+7. Overall, I think this is the easiest major boss in the DLC due to the limited combo variety and generous dodge timings, but the spacing can be tricky sometimes.

I worked on the technique for the opening attack, so I can land the charged attack more consistently now (0:24, 1:39). I unlock the camera and move to the left, and then hold right as I attack so that my character will pivot to land the hit.

For the 5-hit combo with the double guillotine chop (0:47), it's safe to duck under the third hit and the last hit, but the hitbox on the chop seems a bit inconsistent especially if you're too close to the horse's head, so I just hug the boss closely and move slightly to the right to be safe. When he combos into the sweep attack (0:59, 1:31) the hitbox seems higher off the ground than it should be at close range. It would be much more stylish to land a jump attack, but the spacing is too precise. Likewise, for the surrounding flames (1:53), you can stay close to land a jump attack, but I think it's too hard to do reliably for some reason. I have another clip where I finish the fight with that technique, but the rest of the fight was too sloppy so I wasn't pleased with it lol.
