Dark Souls II Boss Guide: Old Dragonslayer

I love this fight. Yes, it is strictly for the nostalgic reasons. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to fight Orenstein without Smough, not super Orenstein either. The Old Dragonslayer is exactly this. He has two new moves, a nova butt slam and slow moving dark orb shot. Other than that, it will feel very familiar. I like to stay close to him and roll past him after any move he makes, followed by punishment. If he novas, break lock and run away. Other than that, rinse and repeat.
