An absolute classic

Shoulda read this page ages ago. Third playthrough and I've still never gotten in despite every hit being a vertical attack on the claymore (dunno if angle of the attack matters at all in reality though), but apparently I must have been attacking too close to the base of the tail -.- oh well, hopefully run #4 will work out better.

I hate this stupid excuse of a dragon so much.

for anyone still having trouble here is a tip for you you want to hit the white part of the middle tail and the best way i have seen is to use gc on the tail

The trick is to memorize where his tail lands the 4th time he swings it down. He doesn't pivot while he's attacking so you can chip at it that way if you didn't fully cut it while he's stunned from breaking the crystal

Idk why people have difficulty cutting off the tail. Just snipe it with a CSS after baiting Seath into breaking the crystal. Because yes, he can break it himself giving you an even longer window of opportunity. Plus as long as you already have been building your wizard kit, it should only take 1 well aimed CSS to cut it. This applies to Kalameet, Priscilla and the Gaping Dragon as well.

this weapon is gonna make me do a tanky sorcery build so i can be john dark soul, protaganist of the hit series dark souls

mlgs more like mlg how i noscoped that tail lelzz !!!

this is the most beautiful weapon in all of dark souls 1

TIPS ON HOW TO CUT THE TAIL EASY AS A SORCERER

you will need at least soul spear spell

enter the room, run to the right tail (as it shoots laser from your left to right), go behind it and turn left to trigger the tail wiggle so that after you destroy the crystal, it still has the middle tail facing towards you. while it still stunned, run towards the middle tail and cast soul spear as close as you can to the middle tail without lock-on. you will cut off the tail after 2-3 shots.

afterwards you should never get in behind it in between of the middle and either of the side tail as it will trigger the wiggle. low hp INT build would never survive the attack nor have time to recover. so stick to the front of the right (its left) tail and attack from the right tail from that direction (again, as it shoots laser from your left to right).
