This boss is so annoying. The whole game has happily let you progress without perfect guarding, dodge and attaack has worked fine. Even his first phase is easy with this technique. The second phase feels like the developers have all of a sudden decided only perfect guarding is viable. Dodge and punish just doesn't work

In my case i could hold guard (If you have some guard regain talents) for the fast flurries. Then attack after, or make a perfect guard at the last attack in chain (Even better if you have "perfect guard regains guard regain as HP talent), to regain most of the hp you lost for holding block on the faster combos.

I can parry the first phase perfectly. Second phase however. Farthest I've gotten is about half health. Just wish it was possible without the shield.

It is, I spent three days using the shield then said screw it im going to be aggressive. Beat him in a few more tries. Spam guard his quick flurries and only use the shield on the heave attack lunges and aerial type moves. WAAAAAY easier.

I struggled more and more with each boss in this game, and as much as I love the lore and the exploration, I'm tapping out after the Door Guardian. I beat it, but the the experience was so unpleasant. Not even close to what I call fun in games. I lived through the horrors of 8-bit, and I'm not doing it again.

The Nameless Puppet definitely puts all other bosses in the game to shame. It's impressively done but definitely one of the most punishing bosses I've come across in the genre. If she didn't have the self heal on strike, I'd put the Nameless Puppet on the same level as Melania from Elden Ring. That heal gives her an edge though.

To everyone struggling with phase 2, BLOCKING with your weapon is better than being hit! You'll never parry if you never block, and you can recover some HP back if you rush him. Block with your weapon and circle around the phase 2 combos. Don't forget to swing between openings, light swings, just regain your HP and keep adding damage. I used trident of the covenant to take advantage of punishment damage P can deal after a boss swings. I think this might be exclusive to spears, I really don't know. Didn't use Aegis, I just parried and blocked. Used double use grinder with blight, buffed at the start of both phases. Pandamonium didn't help, I wouldn't suggest any arm but Aegis(Its pretty tight if you clutch with it, like in this video). You can parry him, just remember not to get greedy after your parry chains. TBH I forgot aegis existed till I started struggling in this boss but had no plugs so I was aegisless. Just remember you can dead angle out of some of his attacks, many swings flew over my head by moving against them. Move around, parry, block, and swing light whenever his swings pause. When his eyes glow yellow for his fury rushdown, the eyes signal he's locked into a direction. Move out of the way once you see a yellow gleam. By far his worst attack for me was breaking my guard then doing a fury attack, manage your stamina and let some of his phases pass by to recover if you need. I also used the stamina regen ring. REMEMBER Don't heal in his face mid-combo, survive till he pauses then heal. Greeding a heal is the fastest way to get smacked! Good luck, I beat him, and so can you!

the problem with blocking is that Phase 2 the Nameless Puppet doesn't give a moment to breath and repair the weapon.

This boss fight is so fricken hard. I hate to repeat what others have said but the parry window in this game feels unfair. It feels like the window is so small it's hard to even duplicate twice in a row many times.

@@XenomorphRNA mine was only at 18, took it up to 25 and breezed through phase 1. Phase two came down to a balance of dodging, parries and throwable’s when I got the chance to get a few off in succession. Put them on the quick slot belt. Also used puppet string as a gap closer in both phases.

This was encouraging; almost every guide I watch always has the Twin Dragon sword. I know that thing is basically every player's revolutionary weapon, but I can't get the hang of it and it's just annoying that when I try to get advice as a basic gamer rather than one of those god-like pros that is able to do a hundred tricks with a samurai sword - besides that, I just personally think the katana hype is just so overdone. It's very nice to see someone else using the Puppet Ripper scythe to defeat Nameless Puppet. The scythe has always been my specialty, but it's been especially hard with Nameless Puppet because he's so OP.

My strat is twin dragon sword. You need to remember some attack pattern but the longer one are perfect to charge attack parry. Especially when he goes red you can easily counter those. The window for that is much bigger than normal deflect Second phase is similar and I throw as much throwable as I can while trying to dodge the attacks. Barely beat him with a cheeky dash in fable art but definitely doable. I tried to poking strat and it didn’t feel as good as the twin sword

Some bad information here, you absolutely do not want to be using the shock grindstone. Phase 1 is extremely easy to dodge or parry everything in, your best bet for phase 1 is honestly to just parry everything for fast staggers and phase 1 goes down easily. Phase 2 is the problem, and you need the grindstone that turns your guard into auto perfect guard, shock grindstone will not help you as you arent getting enough hits in a row to proc the shock. Another thing that helps a LOT is throwing items, but again, save everything for phase 2. Phase 1 is extremely easy once you have seen it once to parry everything, so save everything and pull out all the stops for phase 2.

A few simple tips: when he crouches down with swords at his side and starts glowing red, the move where he instantly charges across the arena at you, start running to the side. He will miss his charge and end up right beside you, easy to punish with a few hits. When he does the move where he pokes forward, instantly followed by another poke, then another poke and finally a leap into the air that slams down, dont guard that. As he is about to slam down to the ground, roll towards him, through the explosion, and you get a few free hits to punish him. When he leaps into the air and starts spinning with air moving around him, the move where he travels through the air towards you, roll towards him as he is coming towards you, he will land beside you, now be mindful he does do an additional slash after he lands, but this is another move that is extremely easy to punish with a hit or two.
