- Thread starter Ryahn
- Start date

Does anyone have a clue how to beat old king? Checked guides that said to break, but in my game, the old king always casts the insta-death spell and then I die right afterward.
I have 7378 speed and 5365 luck, 13966 attack as well. I also always have "Deep Sea Knight's Anchor +5" equipped, and have its special ability "indignation" on at all times. Do i need to grind until I get my speed up to like 30,000 or something?
Also, even when I successfully breaked him (it happened once)! autodeath killed me WHILE he was breaked??? WTF

Agility soft caps at 3990. At that point, your atb bar fills in one frame, the fastest possible. Additional agility is only useful for countering debuff and reductions from armor and duchess as well as for attacks that scale from it. You still want to use indignation though since its +1 action per turn.

I can't recall his luck stat off the top of my head, but if yours is high enough another strategy to try is

You need like 10k~ luck to make sure your breaks land since it's technically a status and your odds of inflicting statuses is determined by luck. Once you have that though you just gotta make sure to break every mirror image, typically for each turn doing just one attack to keep it from regenerating too much hp and then using all your other actions to break should work. Very important, break the MIRROR IMAGES, not the main boss. Main boss just sits there regenerating hp. If you don't have enough actions it's honestly worth it to just use breaks on everything and whittle him down after. If it's any consolation you probably only need to get up to like 7.5k luck and then let buff items do the rest.
[Edit] Unless you're talking about the insta death early on, for that one he hits you with an attack that gives you a hidden status, something like you've been planted with deathseeds or whatever, that triggers an insta kill later. This means you either need to have requiem ready to survive the insta kill attack when it goes off ( I think it's when he gets to half hp?), or 100% dodge so that you don't get hit by the initial status attack in the first place. 100% dodge is probably the easier option since normal dodge already gives you 70% so you just need 30 from equipment. You don't even need Abhorrent Wrap, you can do Phantom Thief's Mantle + Griffin shield and you get to keep the ability to heal. Sadly this doesn't work against the Zex Calibur or whatever it is, that one just kills you no matter what so you have to break or you die.
TL,DR: Get to 10k luck to land your breaks and try again. There's 3 insta kills, one you can either dodge or requiem through, one you have to break, and the end where you have to spam break over and over.

You don't need 10k luck. You just need to be within 1k luck of the boss, which this one has 3996 (+50% during rage). Enemies charging up usually get like a 1000x weakness to break so as long as you are within the 1k luck range, you will always land break.
You don't need 100% dodge because the dodge status itself prevents you from being afflicted with the status effect.

oh I forgot about enfield gravity, yeah you gotta dodge that one. Honestly if you've gone that far into the chaos dungeon hopefully you have multiple black rabbit rings, at this point I was just using dodge and guard every turn to cover my bases and then using my other actions for attacks or buffs.

Is there any easily missable things that straight up lock you out of certain stuff? I'm asking about stuff like those rat bastard bread crumbs in DS1

Anybody know how to cheat in Inaba's tale? I missed it at the start of my playthrough and I REAAAAAAAALLY don't want to go through a whole other playthrough to get it
You cheat it in by realizing you're gonna miss things in blacksouls but that's just part of the game. Missing a fairy tale isn't that big a deal anyway.
I already beat this game once, including DLC (save for DLC 3).
Plus, aren't all fairy tales required for G ending?
No, they are not. All you get for collecting the fairy tales, besides the dream souls for individual ones, is a choice of reward from Node. You can choose from: 1 million souls; a slab, 50 watches, 10 candy, and 10 girl's scent; a white rabbit ring; or an hscene with her in her swimsuit. Every item from that list can be gotten in the chaos dungeon and reaching G end allows you to unlock all hscenes in the room of reminiscence.
How are you guys boosting your stats so high? Are you just collecting obscene amounts of souls and buying the colored ones from Node?
