These attacks are fairly easy to read, though they can deal quite a bit of damage, especially if you get caught in a thrust.

The Soul of Cinder also has a lance phase where he will charge at you with a thrust, or perform an overhead swing. When you see him charge up the Crystal Greatsword, roll out of the way to avoid damage, and then continue the assault. His staff phase is the best time for you to stick close to him and start dealing damage, since most of these attacks are long range. After depleting his health a little, he’ll switch to using a staff where he uses spells like Crystal Soulmass, Crystal Soulspear, and Crystal Greatsword. You can block them with your shield, or roll out of the way. His attacks are very swift, and his patterns consist of mostly regular slashes and thrusts.

Most of his attacks are fire-based, so equipping fire-resistant armor and equipment will help you out a bit in this fight.Īt the start of the first phase, the Soul of Cinder will attack you with a fire longsword. The Soul of Cinder has two health bars, and he changes his attack patterns very frequently in the first phase, so this fight may take a bit of practice before you get comfortable and familiar with his patterns. Here he is: the final boss of Dark Souls III.
