This fight was just a pure test of endurance. If you have no stamina then it's easy to get jump sliced by a skeleton and then get slashed to hell by giant skeletons. To make matters worse if Nito catches up to you then you're fucked if he uses that screaming wave attack while you have enough skeletons trying to kill you.
I'm just saying this if any of you haven't fought this boss yet. Manage that stamina carefully and think about what's around the corners of the room.
@Ch4rgeShot Nah, I did it too with the Black Knight Sword. The real problem is the fucking skeletons, ignore them and Nito is easy. But a VERY AWESOME easy boss.
i was so scared of him when i came in, specially after going through the annoying dogs of hell who i shall damn forever, but i found out that nito is not too fond of my greatsword of artorias
@marlonful I beat him in the first try and i'm very bad at this game. He kill his own minions and the only attack u cant avoid easily is that miasma wave.
i jump down, lost a lot of health, start to drink my flask, but then the damn sword pops out of the ground and kills me every damn time. i should raise my health instead of keeping it at the low 20s and raising my faith
I jumped down into the room and start hearing the gravelord sword dance thing. I then see Nito lumbering towards me. I begin to charge and his giant skeletons come out of nowhere and kick my ass. Fuck.
Jumps into boss room, lost 50% hp then after that try to drink pot, but you cant because Nito starts spam tha freakin gravesword strike after you try to run and fight him you see 2 giant skeleton next to him = dead.
Best part was running always from bonfire to boss and kill all the enemys again and again..
Funny how it is harder actually getting to the fight than actually fighting the fight. I found this guy surprisingly easy because many of his attacks were slow and predictable: The only danger was when his scythe shoots up from the ground under you.
the first of the undead is made of a small group of undead people in which he throws at you... does anyone else feel like they messed up anywhere here?
@gavinmcmillen thats up for interpretation, when they say first of the dead, it could mean the first bunch of dead, or maybe he started off as a regular skeleton but then infused with others. who knows.
There is a somewhat deeper meaning to Nito then first meets the eye. "The first of the Dead" ? So we are fighting the first human being that ever died in this fictional world... He has been there from the very beginning. He thinks differently, for he observed every death in history as the "Gravelord". What must go through your head, knowing that you were the first dead human, no family or friends, witnessing the course of time for so long, and being immortal? A lonley and sad story...
Then again, Nito could also be a selfish being. He found the power of the flame and made himself into the "god" of the dead, wishing to rule over all undead beings forever. The music is really split into two themes. The calm, mysterious and somewhat sad parts... And the fast, harsh and threatening parts. Nito... A sad existence suffering from eternity or a selfish tyrant greedy for power? You decide...
@JapanForSale Ya sure about 'every single person'? I didn't die when I first met him. Of course, that's because it was my first run.
I didn't know what to expect. I just swung my upgraded Gravelord Sword, hoping to hit something. Thanks to some aggression, heavy armor, and my experience in Demon's Souls, I returned this walking pile of bones back to his coffin.
@firelegendmushroom I'm pretty sure the fall is always half health. I think fall damage scales to your total amount... I know dropping from the Princess; bonfire at 25 vitality did less damage than dropping at 35.
Fucking baby skeletons freak me the fuck ou-- OH FUCK NITO. SHIT. Fuck your skeletons ima wait here- FUCK GIANT LIGHTSABER SCYTHE OF DOOM. HAHA CANT AOE ME IF I HAVE A SHIELD stabstabstab SHIT SHIELD stabstab WINNAR
My absolute favorite part of this song is :40 - :56... It really brings out the tone of who you are dealing with "the lord of death" slowly creeping up to take you under.
@RyuKaguya In NG+, you have to find the merchant that sits outside of Blighttown and buy it off him. After you open the gate to Blighttown he'll move to Firelink Shrine. Either way, he will sell you the armor as well as the armor of other bosses you beat.
This guy is my master I serve him as a grave keeper...No one fucks with nito I will curse your world if you do my master forever lives on go nito!
