Here's an even more refined version of the Guide:

[Zizou-ljgb]

The harder boss in this fight is the camera

[Johno]

This fight feels like a battle of RNG for his attacks and the fucking camera omg.

[nu]

He was like a completely different boss for me. Dude just spammed the ground slam or the gravity slam and then just dashes away the second I reach his face. I didn't even know he could attack from the face.

Move spam seems to be a common theme in this game...

[ColdLights]

I’ve died like 40 times to this thing and dude comes in here telling me to just sword slap it.

[sentium]

I can't even hit this damn boss, this is by far the worst for melee

[fenthedog]

All I wanted was Blaiddes armour like Ive played three seperate games just to reach this beastie!

[neos.]

Why tf does FromSoftware thinks a boss who can one shoot you while your camera can't even stay on him is "good gameplay design"?

[brakespear]

I had trouble with Astel, finally defeated him by upgrading Latenna to 10, summoning her by the entrance amd staying out of the way, remembering to dodge the giant laser beam. She did all the damage for me, best summons for a boss so far for me :)

[disfibulator]

Thank you - this was super helpful. Even just the tip to roll INTO the purple beam changed the battle entirely. Plus it helped seeing you walk around so nonchalantly. After watching this video, I beat it first try. You rock.

[prnewbie]

just beat him after about 10 tries. Granted, I am level 70 with a +12 Uchigatana. Unsheathe him 4x and he staggers. Don't bother with any other attacks in the 1st phase. Your video showed me where to stand and how to dodge his projectiles. He is easiest when you're right in his face.

[TwistedBobbay]

I love the presence this boss has as it teleports back into the fight.

[Oakshield]

If you're getting your ass kicked constantly and is looking for the easy mode, get the Latenna summon to max, get bloodhound's step on your weapon and anything that reduces fp usage/increases fp going. Go in, dodge the first ray, summon, keep Astel's attention on you and just bloodhound step when necessary. Go in for a cheeky two handed jump attack if you want to make it quicker. Latenna murders it and Astel will almost never turn its attention on her.

[fadedeclipse]

My first try went so horrible i only got one hit in and died. I beat him second try because of a good stagger at half health then a bleed right after which made it much easier

[Username-or]

I can’t believe this thing is in my way to get the dark moon great sword I’m so close and I keep getting completely destroyed this has been the hardest boss for me so far.

[DM-oqkk]

I finally beat this guy but he was so much more difficult than he appears in this video.

[samson-zqgc]

Got this guy all the way down to the last hit only to be hit by the one shot grab.

[StallionFernando]

The grab attack is the only thing I'm having trouble with. So lame that it one shots.

[Cap-p]

Thank you so muchhhh dude, didn’t know that you can just roll forward to avoid the grab attack. Beat this first try after watching this.

[jeanniemaycrawford]

Stay in front of the face and just jump when he swipes. Just run away when he teleports.

Going under him always baits him to do that slam
