Beastman of Farum Azula (Limgrave) Limgrave Boss

Description

This is one of the first bosses that you’re likely to encounter in the game, so it’s a good learning experience for basic mechanics. The Beastman has quite a few varied attack combos, making him sometimes difficult to predict. However, if you’re a melee user with a shield you’re in luck, since almost all of these attacks can be blocked with a shield. This allows you to face them head-on, retaliating with your own attacks between each flurry from the boss. However, you’ll need to keep an eye on your stamina bar to ensure that it isn’t entirely depleted.

Using a shield is one of the easiest ways to defeat this boss, but it can also be done with relative ease if you’re using a two-handed melee weapon. You’ll just need to replace the blocks with dodges and rolls. The key is knowing when to time the dodges so that you don’t waste too much stamina in the process. If you’re familiar with the attack patterns, you’ll begin to learn when you can sneak in a few flurries of attacks before you need to get moving again. Pay attention to the animations and don’t underestimate the amount of attacks that the Beastman can use at once. The last thing you want to do is stop too soon and get caught in the flurry of spinning attacks.
